Halo Movie Master Chief, accompanied by other Bungie and Microsoft employees, started to deliver scripts of the Halo movie to multiple studios for review. There has been an everlasting debate on if this movie will be any good and according to Bungie the script goes along with the whole Halo story. They have even created a Halo “Bible” for whatever studio picks up the film so they follow the Halo storyline. This should hopefully prevent the movie from turning into something like Super Mario Brothers or Street Fighter: The Movie.

Ninja Gaiden BlackGamespot is reporting that Ninja Gaiden Black will hit stores in September for the low price of $29.99. Gamespot found this by doing a simple search of upcoming price lists on EBGames.com pointing to the price of the title.  Gamespot not beliving the price to be correct, decide to make a call to Temco for confirmation if this price was right.  Temco confirmed it was correct and also promised that it would not just be a cheap remake of the XBox classic Ninja Gaiden, but rather a full re-envisioning by Team Ninja with improved graphics and even more action then before.  For those you who can not wait for Ninja Gaiden Black, you can buy Ninja Gaiden at a video game store near you - however, it will cost you $39.99.

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks



Mortal Kombat fans get ready because Midway is releasing yet another title of this huge franchise. This time is a little different, because now the game is played almost like the previously used “Konquest” mode.  You experience the Mortal Kombat II world as either Liu Kang or Kung Lao.  The characters will each have 10 different fatalities, weapons, interactive environments, and customizable characters. Jump down for some screenshots.

Chicken Little

I love platformers. In fact, if I had to choose one game type to play for the rest of my life it would be platformers.  Because of all this love I have for platformers there is one thing I hate more then anything else, including Rockstars games, is a bad platformer.  Most kiddie platformers, like Tak, are just bad.  So bad that I have giving up all hope that there might ever will be a good children’s platformer.  That all changed when I saw Chicken Little at E3 - find out why after the jump.

Teen Titans Game

I’m a big fan of the comic and show Teen Titans and Majesco has brought them to the console world.  Not much of the story has been revealed, but we know that the game includes more than 10 of the villains from the series including Slade, Cinderblock, Jinx, and more.  You start off with the standard Titans team: Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin, but you can also unlock at least 10 more characters.  You can switch between which Titan you want to play as in real time, which is good because each Titan has unique abilities.  There is a multi-player mode where you can either do Co-Op or up to 4 player versus. I haven’t gotten a chance to play the game yet, but from what we’ve seen it looks promising.  Teen Titans will be on Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube and is scheduled for release early 2006.

GTA San Andreas XboxThe wait is almost over for your Xbox Grand Theft Auto fans. In a little over a month, GTA: San Andreas will be released on the Xbox in North America (June 7) and Europe (June 10). For those who waited for the Xbox release, expect some nice improvements. For starters, the game will support 480p progressive scan along with 16:9 widescreen (yes!). The other interesting addition is a 30-second instant replay feature. While cool, I don’t see many people using this more than a few times before writing it off as novelty. Also look for higher resolution textures, farther draw distance, and customizable soundtracks. For you PC gamers, you can expect the PC version of GTA:SA to drop on June 7 as well.

E3 2005 That’s right, y’all. The 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo is right around the corner, and this one is going to be huge. The Xbox 360 will be there in full effect, and we will be there when Microsoft presents the console to the press. Nintendo will finally let the Revolution out of the bag, unless they choose to not show it for fear that competitors will steal their ideas. They will also be bringing Link and Zelda to the party. Last, but not least, Sony is set to show their PlayStation 3, powered by the almighty Cell processor. These are the obvious E3 attractions, but there will be many more things happening during those three days. We want to know what you guys want to see us cover while we are down at the big show. Game developers will be there in full force. Anything you are interested in seeing us cover? Let us know, and we will do our best to oblige.


Description With the countdown to E3 at 2 weeks, more and more news will continue to come out regarding the event.  The most recent news is Eidos has announced their slim 4 game main event line-up.  The games being displayed will be Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend, Hitman: Blood Money, 25 to Life and Commandos Strike Force.  Personally, I’m mainly looking forward to Hitman, with the others being secondary.  The Hitman series has always been an entertaining one, with just the right amount of difficulty.  The most recent Tomb Raider game was a disappointment, and the series can only go so far based off of Lara Croft’s figure.  The game that will be interesting to see is 25 to Life. This was on display at E3 last year and it attracted a lot of attention.  The game is mainly for online play for up to 16 players to attack and defend.  The basic premise is you can either be a thug/gangsta/bad ass, or you could be every bad guys nightmare, a cop.  It’s a modern day cops and robbers game which seems pretty interesting.

“E3 2005 marks the unveiling of the latest installments of three of the industry’s most successful franchises in addition to a first glimpse of two of the most iconic characters, Lara Croft and Agent 47,” said Paul Baldwin, Vice President of Marketing, Eidos. “The Tomb Raider, Hitman and Commandos franchises make highly anticipated returns featuring new engines and dramatically enhanced gameplay features. Additionally, Eidos will be presenting 25 To Life the first to market urban shooter featuring timeless Cops and Robbers gameplay.”
