At the EA conference for E3 2012, EA and Visceral showed off a section of the upcoming Deadspace 3 game. Deadspace 3 is the third game in the survival horror, Dead Space, series of games but it seems to be taking a turn away from it’s roots and heading down a different path.

At the conference we were shown a section of the second act of the game which gave the game more of an action feel, rather than a survival horror like it’s predecessors. However, the main character was shown to be swalled by a giant alien thing, so maybe the horror begins within it’s bowels? Only time will tell.

EA also gave out a bit of info on the games features, the most notable additions being Drop-in and Drop-out Co-Op as well as Single Player abilities. The game is also slated for a February 2013 launch.

Forget about using cable anymore, as Microsoft want you to come to them for all your entertainment needs. At the big E3 conference for the brand, it was announced that Nickelodeon, Paramount, and Machinima will all be bringing their content to the service. Of course this is a good thing as it means more movies, original gaming videos, and of course Spongebob for all 360 owners.

I’m sure we will have dates for the launch of all these programs soon enough, but until then you can prepare your game and movie nights in advance with these new programs.

E3: 2012 Nike+ Kinect Training Impressions

The trend of assuming gamers are unfit and/or want to be more fit continues to propagate as the Nike+ Kinect Training was announced at the Xbox Press Conference at E3 2012. From the looks of it, they are shooting for more than just counting steps as the Kinect seems to watch you as you exercise and take measurements as you go. The speaker spoke about how the best athletes get better by measuring, so now you can get in on this too with the Kinects ability to read you every movement.

The combination of Nike+ and Kinect seems like a good combination for those interested in that sort of thing, but honestly seems like something people would only do if they already happen to have both as I don’t see anyone getting one or both for this. We’ll seems does as it seems to be another jump on the bandwagon of fitness related gaming content.
