In this generation so many games are receiving the “back to the roots” treatment, and Criterion Games (famous for the Burnout series) now has the job of reinventing the Need for Speed series with a new version for the classic Hot Pursuit division. The award-winning development team is making the latest installment in the renowned Need for Speed franchise, inspired by the classic game of the same name.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit brings the franchise back to its roots with intense cops vs. racer chases, licensed cars, all-new online network called Need for Speed Autolog, and full careers as both a cop and a racer, solo or connected.
Check out some of the game’s features:
At Criterion, we’ve been playing Need for Speed since it was first introduced on 3DO. We are honored and excited by the opportunity to reinvent the franchise for today’s connected audience. Our goal has been to create cops vs. racers pursuits that are so fun, fast and exciting it really brings to life the adrenaline and intensity of the high speed cop pursuit experience with your friends”. – Craig Sullivan, Creative Director of the game
The Hot Pursuit games were always my favorite from the Need for Speed series, so for me this new game is like a dream coming true!
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit will be available on November 16, 2010 in North America and on November 18 and 19, 2010 in Europe on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit will also be available on the Wii and is being developed by Exient.
Below you can see the initial screens, followed by the debut trailer!
Looks like the rumors were right. Gamestop has placed prices for the Kinect at $150 pre-order and has also put together a few bundles with new consoles. The Elite Bundle is going to run $400 and the Arcade bundle will be $300. They have also put a price tag on Kinect Adventures! and Kinect Sports at $60. Though there is zero information about the brand new 360 which was released and being as there is no mention of a bundle for the Kinect plus new 360, it bears to question that these prices could be subject to change. Unfortunately the Kinect itself could actually run at that price.
Would you be willing to purchase the Kinect at $150? How about if they put together an even better bundle with the new 360 Slim? If anything else the price for either 360 plus the Kinect would only place the Kinect at $100.

Hm notice what looks like a spine that Raiden there is holding? It’s actually a spine. Hideo Kajima has introduced at E3 the first trailer for MGS: Rising and boy does it look amazing. Gone is the focus on gunplay. Instead is the focus on swordplay.
Watch the video below and believe that Raiden can kick some major butt now. He literally tears through pillars and slices through vans to kill anyone in his way. Not only that but the option shown to direct your slices in slow motion to dismember opponents is completely brutal. It slices, it dices, it’s MGS: Rising.

Germany’s Crytek company, which made Crysis 2 the game which required stellar computer requirements, and Microsoft Game Studios has teamed up to bring us a new exclusive game. Announced at E3 Codename: Kingdoms has the look of a hyper violent gladiator style game that will not be using the Kinect. There were no additional details released such as a release date or even what type of game it will actually be. Will it be a first person sword fighting game? A third person? But one thing I do know, is that a current generation gladiator game would be amazing. Especially if your character was able to be customized to the deepest detail of armor. Though we know nothing as of yet.

Remember yesterday how we caught wind of a new Xbox 360? Well that was definitely the truth as you can see above. It is a bit slimmer and a bit shorter if I do say so myself compared to the previous 360 version. But that is purely aesthetic, it’s what inside that counts. And what we said yesterday is still true, there will be a 250 GB hard drive, built in 802.11n WI-FI, and being set up already for Kinectablity. As an added bonus it is also said to be very quiet when running, which is a far cry from how loud the usual console acts at times.
How fortunate for those in the audience though, as everyone in attendance to the Microsoft E3 Conference will be receiving this brand new console for absolutely free. Lucky guys huh? The rest of us will be paying a price tag of $299 in US when the console goes for sale this week. Those in Europe will have to wait until July 16th for the new console to arrive.

E3 for ESPN? Seems a bit of a mix there but here is some good news. If you happen to be an Xbox Live gold member, you will be able to have ESPN for free on your Xbox 360. There will be 3500 on demand programs available at any time of all major sports that ESPN usually covers.
The demo that was shown on at E3 was completely controllable by voice with the Kinect that they had hooked up the the 360, which was neat due to the fact you can pause, rewind, fast forward, etc all by voice. There will also be various bits of trivia included with ESPN Live and statistics of what is happening in the sports world.
Sounds like a good deal and something quite a few people will take advantage of. Facebook and the rest are good, but ESPN has a large following and people always enjoy sports. So if your a Gold Member then your all set for ESPN action.
Peter Molyneux has revealed the release date for Fable III today at the Microsoft Press Conference at E3. Not only that but there was a new trailer shown for the game which was quite awesome, maybe even revolutionary as the ending of the trailer said. But enough about that, the actual release date for the game is October 26th which puts it a few days before the release of Microsoft Kinect, and there was no mention of whether or not there would be support for the peripheral itself.
