July 12th, 2007 - The Eagle Has Landed

[Robyn]

Look out! It's some kind of... Avian Monstrosity! The Nuclear Eagle (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/nucleareagle/) has landed at XGen! Try your hand at being the supreme atomic lord of the sky.

E3 (http://www.e3expo.com/) is currently taking place in Santa Monica, California in it's more "industry-specific" form. Some great stuff has already hit the web; like a Killzone 2 trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21504.html?type=flv); now guaranteed to be real in-game footage, honestly... some appetizing Halo 3 Singleplayer Footage (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21489.html?type=flv), and Video from Halo Wars (http://www.2old2play.com/News/E3_2007__Halo_Wars_Gameplay_Footage); the RTS-offspring of the franchise. Mass Effect (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21471.html?type=flv) looks more incredible every time I see it.

Along with the eye candy comes the announcements: Mario Kart Wii (http://wii.ign.com/articles/803/803351p1.html) in Q1 2008, Gears of War (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/803/803119p1.html) for PC, "Wii Fit (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/07/11/e307-get-body-conscious-like-the-cho-aniki-dudes-with-wii-fit/)" from Nintendo will get you in shape, and a new revision (http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/sonys-new-psp-is-slimmer-includes-video-output/) on the PSP!

Will It Blend tries to make an expensive "iPhone milkshake (http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=iphone)". Poor Apple fanboys everywhere shake their heads.

I got a post after an admin!!1 w00t!

That said, Halo Wars looks like so much fun, and I can't wait for MAss Effect, I loved all of Bioware's past creations and this looks beautiful

Heh, I saw that iPhone video. The screen was on for surprisingly long, but it is no match (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IevMrQMp-to) for the Nintendo Wiimote, which actually stopped the blender. But the show is pretty stupid because the guy just insults people who call in and ask for actual music to play >.<

I have Halo 3 pre-ordered, can't wait =D Halo wars looks pretty promising.

I'm going to go try out Nuclear Eagle now.

Nuclear Eagle is actually pretty fun. I like slapping as many people on the police car and then detonating it right under the nest. It looks cool.

What system will Halo Wars be on? I assume that it will come to the PC, but will it be on the 360 as well? Tiberian Wars was surprisingly good on the 360, but will Halo Wars be as good?

As for the iPhone, we have a long discussion ongoing in the Elites Club- what would be in that smoke? I would assume some glass particles from the screen, but what else?

[h00pla]

silicon from the microchips. Plastic from the case. maybe some metal from the frame, and more plastic from the circuit board.

[Joest]

That game is awesome. I love picking people up and flinging them around.

[Justin]

The controls suck, IMO. I don't really like it.

[denacioust]

No more info on PTV?

Not to mention a load of liquid crystals - those things are nasty. That's why the blender suddenly goes black, all the liquid crystal bursts out when the screen ruptures.

I love how in Nuclear Eagle the first people to start shotting you are always the blacks. Damn blacks and their guns.

[Honeycomb]

I've been waiting for this game for 2 years... lol.
