I checked out this title at E3 was extremely impressed with how the game handles dialogue scenes. Instead of just toggling through text, players can choose what to say as if it were a real conversation. This looks like a winner. Brian Ashcraft More »

At E3, Silicon Knights' Too Human didn't meet the hype, and the game's demo wasn't quite ready. Following its outing, the game got pushed back to next year, and the title didn't make an appearance at X06 in Barcelona. Rumors swirled, and Silicon Knights president Dennis Dyack commented on an IGN developer blog, writing: More »

Snapped and sent our way, that's producer Jade Raymond (Assassin's Creed) and game designer CliffyB (Gears of War) backstage at X06. Young and pretty, working on killer titles and proud owners of good dental hygiene. Yep, we're insanely jealous. More »

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=204236&view=rss&microfeed=true Too bad this is all full motion video (or at least I think it is), because there are moments in it where I seriously thought I was watching live actors. I think the increased contrast and a bit of graininess helped with that effect. Call of Duy 2 is one of the few 360 "launch window" titles that I'm still playing around with now.

Over at Rewiredmind.com, their man in Barcelona has apparently confirmed with Cliffy that Gears of War is full co-op. Not tacked on co-op missions, but the entire game, playable co-operatively with beer and your buddies. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=203866&view=rss&microfeed=true I've been dreaming about playing this game since E3. This video doesn't help with the wait. This game is just so freaky weird. Chilling. Brian Crecente More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=203907&view=rss&microfeed=true At Microsoft's X06 conference yesterday, Ubisoft took the stage and demoed live Assassin's Creed gameplay for the first time. This is the same gameplay we actually saw at E3 and at GC06. One thing that does seem to have improved since then is that the crowds seem much busier than they were before. I'm still not terribly fond of the fighting at the end, though: when you're facing thirty guys, twenty nine of those guys aren't going to sit on the outskirts doing the ha-cha-cha while you systematically disembowel them one by one.

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=203710&view=rss&microfeed=true The Halo Wars trailer has been released on the public. It's pre-rendered, obviously, though the official site (also live!) claims it uses lots of in-game models. The game takes place before Halo 1, following the crew of the UNSC "Spirit of Fire" from initiaql skirmishes to an all out war against the covenant. I'll be interested in seeing how they handle Spartans — I believe within the Halo universe, there's only 16 who survived the bone-grafting process, so there's actually not a hell of a lot of them you can play around with and stay within the fiction of the universe. Obviously, though, they'll be a type of hero unit. More »

Even the Master Chief can't fight forever, so what comes next for Bungie after they've knocked our socks off in Halo 3? Rumor has it that it'll be announced at European Xbox event X06 and Spong muses that while it won't be Halo 4, it may very well be a trilogy set in the same universe. More »
