Bowja, the cute little ninja sol'ja...
E3 Begins, the big three begin to brawl...
Fallout -- Duck and Cover!...
Bowja The Ninja 2 - In Bigman's Compound, 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 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 will be released on the 360 at launch. Ouch Sony, ouch.
Nintendo fought back with
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 price drops of a bunch of their greatest PS3 titles, and shows off trailers for
Infamous,
Resistance 2,
God of War 3 and
Massive Action Game -- a squad based multiplayer fragfest with up to 256 players fighting together.
Also showcased was a
quirky 50s style intro and
several minutes of gameplay for Fallout 3. I've been a Fallout fan since
the incredible original, and seeing this trailer sends shivers down my spine, great work Bethesda!
Warning: Fallout 3 is for Mature audiences only.- Read/Post Comments - Robyn

Mario,
Pokemon and other
Video Game Characters using
Spore's Creature Creator.
Klaatu Barada Nikto! The three
infamous words return in the remake of '
The Day the Earth Stood Still' -- now with 100% more Keanu Reeves! Oldschool sci-fi fans are eager to find out whether this turns out as an homage or an abomination to
the classic.

Early reception to
Defend your Castle has been exceptional, with the title appearing in the #1 spot on the Wii Shop Channel's most popular list of WiiWare titles in the US, above
Final Fantasy: MLAAK and the critically acclaimed
Lost Winds. Chris Kohler of Wired calls the game
"five bucks worth of awesome", and G4TV has named Defend your Castle
"hands-down the winner of the bunch" in their coverage of the WiiWare launch line-up. You can pick up
Defend your Castle for 500 Wii Points in the Americas, with availability in Europe arriving shortly.
Territory War Online is the explosive multiplayer sequel to the original hit, Territory War. A throwback to classic games such as Worms and Scorched Earth, Territory War Online lets you jump right into the action, or log in with your XGen account to record your stats and create a custom team. Dominate your opponent with grenades, rocket-launchers, shotguns, and more in 5 different stages with fully destructible terrain.
[Play Territory War Online Now!]Chronotron is a time-based platform puzzler not unlike
Braid in premise, but unique in its execution. Return all versions of yourself to the Time Pod intact, while taking caution to avoid creating a paradox by altering the past.
