Bowja The Ninja 2 - In Bigman's Compound (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/bowja2/), the game might not be what you'd expect. Quirky clickin' adventurin' with the red little warrior feels fresh and fun.

Microsoft's Press Conference (http://www.buttonbandits.com/2008/07/14/microsoft-press-conference-summary/) on the first official day of E3 announced some whoppers. Huge XBox LIVE improvements (including integrated 3D avatars), the ability to copy full Xbox 360 games to the hard drive, every Netflix movie available from LIVE and they've revealed that Final Fantasy XIII (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36267.html?type=flv) will be released on the 360 at launch. Ouch Sony, ouch.

Nintendo fought back (http://www.buttonbandits.com/2008/07/15/nintedo-press-conference-summary/) with Wii Motion Plus (http://kotaku.com/5024907/nintendo-introduces-wii-motion-plus), a plug-in device for the Wii Remote which enhances precision and responsiveness to the remote's movements. Now maybe we can have a real swordfighting game on the Wii? However, hardcore gamers are seemingly disappointed with Nintendo as there are no new announcements about their more serious franchises.

Sony shows off (http://www.buttonbandits.com/2008/07/15/sony-press-conference-summary/) price drops of a bunch of their greatest PS3 titles, and shows off trailers for Infamous (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36317.html?type=flv), Resistance 2 (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36561.html?type=flv), God of War 3 (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36487.html?type=flv) and Massive Action Game (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36560.html?type=flv) -- a squad based multiplayer fragfest with up to 256 players fighting together.

Also showcased was a quirky 50s style intro (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36201.html?type=flv) and several minutes of gameplay (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36315.html?type=flv) for Fallout 3. I've been a Fallout fan since the incredible original (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/197289.asp?q=Fallout), and seeing this trailer sends shivers down my spine, great work Bethesda! Warning: Fallout 3 is for Mature audiences only.

First!

Fable 2 sounds really good, I've seen some gameplay videos. Also, Can't wait for wiispeak, and motion plus.

I'll have to try Bowja The Ninja 2 - In Bigman's Compound soon.

I'll report on it afterward.

Hm, the news forum seems to be a bit neglected and under-looked-at by forum members....half an hour between posts? Psh. It's the new flood limit.

You guys really need a badges or award system. I support Xgen, but nothing can really beat getting a badge for 100 villagers killed or something in PtV.

Bowja's not really a game. More of a clock to advance sort of thing.

My Sony Fan boy pride has taken a giant shot when Microsoft announces 13 for the 360, but at least the PS3 is getting KZ2.

Don't get too excited about MAG until we hear more.

As for FFXIII, who cares? It's a dodgy franchise anyway.
