Gears of War 2 coverage at E3

Gametrailers.com is uploading new game footage like crazy from E3, and a lot of the games look really sweet! One of these games I'm really excited about is Gears of war 2 for the 360. The first Gears was amazing and it looks like they really pushed the gameplay to make it even more action packed. I'm not gonna go on and on about it but just share some of the links I found on gametrailers:

Nintendo E3 New Stuff to make you look weird

Ever since the Wii came out, Nintendo has been making games to make people look like complete freaks. Motion Control has turned everybody into maniacs swinging and flailing about in their own living rooms. I mean if you saw a bum on the street doing half the things the wii has you do, you'd think he was out of his mind or were on some sort of awesome drug.



So what's some of the new things from Nintendo's Wii to make you look crazy? How about first perfecting the motion controllers using a small device that clips on the bottom of the wii-remote. Now every movment is very accurate and precise so sword play games are gonna be coming out of everywhere. You can read more about this here.










Here's the new game that really shows off the new peripheral. Wii Sports Resort... well you don't look THAT crazy while playing, so to perfect that crazy homeless person look Nintendo created something called Wii Music.







Wii Music uses the MotionPlus peripheral along with the Wii Fit's Balance board and your drunk family/friends. There's really no explanation to what your about to see... Just watch it....here. Wii Music.




Why do I picture a bunch of wii-related deaths??

New Xbox 360 Dashboard announced at E3

Microsoft has announced a new look to the 360's dashboard this fall/winter. The new look also has a bunch of new features including creating your character/avatar much like the Nintendo Wii's Mii.

Now I'm not a big fan of this idea as of yet, because I have no idea what this means about the dashboard backgrounds/ gamer pictures people have purchased over xbox live. Are they obsolete now? Will I be able to use the themes I downloaded? I hope so!

Another change will be new trivia games and easier access to joining/ inviting friends to play over Live...... using your little miis.... But you will be able to chat, share photos, and do other fun things like that.
The movie library will be getting better as well since microsoft has a deal with Netflicks.

One of the changes I think looks really good is the guide change. Just really nice and simple and easy to use. It gives a bit more access to everything you want to do quickly.


Overall it looks pretty good for now. I'm not a huge fan of the new dashboard look but then again I don't care as long as I can use my gamer pictures/themes and I really hope this update doesn't brick my 360.... that would really really suck.
