No, this isn't in the sub forum. Sorry Haru. Don't be mad. I've put it here for all to see. Plus, it seems hardly anyone visits the sub forum either. I've also put it here, because I'm seriously going to be dedicated to bringing you all the news there is in the video game world. Every couple of days, or perhaps once a week, (I'm not sure, I haven't figured out how many times a week I'll be posting news, maybe everyday?) I'll be posting tons of video game information here in this thread. I'll be covering everything from Xbox 360 to PS3 to the Wii. Not to mention the PSP and the DS and it's many, many iterations... Oh, you silly Nintendo.
If any one wishes to help out, I'll certainly let them. Feel free to post video game news yourself and if you have any questions about when something comes out, or something like that, I'll be happy to answer.
Now if only we could get more people to join this guild and post...

Ok, with E3 just behind us I'm not sure how much video game news that will be in this post will be new. Anyone who loves video games probably watched E3 and doesn't need a recap. So, to the best of my ability, I'll search for some new news that everyone hasn't heard of yet. http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14354733/metroid-other-m/videos/otherm_spc_rewind_051709.html If you haven't seen the trailer for Metriod: Other M then you can check it out here. However, it's not just the trailer. It's a rewind theater. Two of IGN's journalists break down what goes on in the trailer step by step. Could this game be a prequel? It seems to also be mostly 2D gameplay with 3D character models. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/995/995571p1.htmlHere's a fun little article on the top ten worst video game dads ever. This is not so much video game news as it is fun to read. None the less, it still has to do with video games. I must say I pretty much agree with this list. Especially number 10. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996206p1.htmlThe Xbox 360 is getting another memory upgrade, but not a huge one. The Jasper models will now come with 512 MB of internal memory. If you ask me, I believe all of the SKU's on the market should come with a hard drive instead. The arcade models could be the 20 gigabite hard drive while the Pro gets the 60 gig and the Elite gets the 120 gig. I've also heard rumores a while back that MS will be releasing a 160 gig hard drive. Just how much space do people need? http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996216p1.htmlCould a new Xbox console already be on the way? Possibly. A "new" console is slated to hit the market in the fall of 2010. However, I believe that it is not a new console, but rather a new SKU with Natal either packaged in the box or built into the the 360 itself. In other words, it will most likely be just another upgraded 360 just as the Elite was an upgrade of the Pro. If this is indeed what I think it is, it could be serious competition for the Wii. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996172p1.htmlSplatterhouse has been delayed until 2010. It's a remake of an old side scrolling game that came out loooong ago. Ok, it wasn't THAT long ago. Did anybody besides me ever play that game? So what's the delay? Namco Bandai is just taking this time to polish the game. That's an awfully long time to polish things up, but as long as the game is good when it comes out, then by all means, take all the time you want. Just bring it out before the end of my life time. http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/995/995618p1.htmlWell, I was unaware that XBL Marketplace was recieving issues with people downloading a certain game or games. Quote: Following yesterday's Xbox Live maintenance, some downloading issues have cropped up today affecting those attempting to download the new Xbox Live Arcade release Magic: The Gathering -- Duels of the Planeswalkers. Though the game can be purchased, the download itself will not progress beyond a low percentage of data transfer before failing out and bringing up an error message. We've experienced this issue along with a number of others over in the Wizards of the Coast community. A forum post by a WotC employee stated that, "We've received word from Microsoft that there is an issue affecting all the games that were set to release today, Duels included. The download function is live throught the Mrketplace and the XBLA site, but the game gets stuck at 1%. They are working hard to correct the issue as soon as possible." A request for a comment has been put into Microsoft and we'll update when we receive a response. Fortunately, everything has been fixed. Which is good, because I don't want any problems when I go to download Marvel vs. Capcom 2 when it comes out. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/995/995483p1.htmlThe PSN title Pain will be hitting store shelves in the UK on June 25. It will come with all the add on content for 24. 95. I can't seem to find an American release unfortunately. Curse it all! I have to leave for the time being. I'll be back to post more news.

I have one piece of advice for you all.
It was going to be, 'Do a Barrel Roll', but that'd be stupid.
If you ever play a Megaman game, make sure your controller is padded in case of TV/controller altercation.

Ok 1) i voted for samus, 2) you mispelled chief.
And im really psycked (or however its spelled) about Lost Planet 2 and assassin's creed 2.
Plus americas army 3, did you all know the original americas army was distributed to boy scouts for free to encourage recruiting? it goes through actual Battlefield medic orientation's and such, and cause i was a boy scout i got the game 8 months before it was released to the public. Americas army 3 promises to be one of the most realistic FPS games to come out ever.
Woah, that got off topic

Americas army 3 promises to be one of the most realistic FPS games to come out ever. Woah, that got off topic Yeah, I always misspell Chief. Silly me. Lol. And yes, I knew that America's Army was made to encourage recruiting. Those dirty recruiters. Oh well. I suppose that we need to get people in the Army one way or another... Time for more news!!!!! http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/995/995280p1.htmlWant to know more about Halo Reach? The new Halo game that was just recently announced at E3 09? Addmittedly, there is very little known about the game so far, but I did some digging and found this little article. The game is reaching for a fall 2010 release according to the article and yes, it will be another first person shooter. Thank God. I can't imagine Halo being anything else and I'm still not too fond of the idea of it being an RTS. Bungie is working on this baby and anyone who buys Halo: ODST will recieve the multiplayer beta for Halo Reach. I'm interested. You can also watch the trailer here. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996516p1.htmlBlazBlue looks quite interesting. I have to admit, I just now learned of this game. Appearantly it follows the Guilty Gear series. Quote: BlazBlue, the hyper slick 2D fighting game from ARC System Works, is heading to store shelves in just a few weeks. The game follows in the footsteps of the cult classic Guilty Gear series by throwing wildly imaginative characters into fast-paced battles and giving players some of the most beautifully animated sprites around. The ariticle goes on to show the new faces of the game. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996316p1.htmlMass Effect 2 hasn't even come out yet and we're already hearing about Mass Effect 3? For those of you who don't know, if you've played Mass Effect your desicions in the first game will effect what will happen in the second game. And get this. It's actually possible to kill off Shepard in Mass Effect 2 if the player so chooses. He/She is the main character of the game! If you kill him off, then in ME3 he won't be in there. Quote: 'If your Shepard dies in the end of Mass Effect 2, that's the end of him / her' said Hudson, 'In that case, you can play Mass Effect 3 as "a" Shepard – just not "your" Shepard. As in real life, not being able to keep living is really the main down-side of death. So if you care about playing the next game with your character, make sure you survive this one.' Well, I like my character, so he'll be staying alive through out ME2. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996366p1.htmlSorry PS3 owners. Splinter Cell seems as if it's going to remain exclusive. Quote: "Splinter Cell Conviction is a true Microsoft exclusive title and there are no plans to have Splinter Cell Conviction on other platforms," said Ubisoft. What? Activision may stop supporting the PS3? Quote: In an interview with The Times, Activision Blizzard's CEO Bobby Kotick said 'I'm getting concerned about Sony; the PlayStation 3 is losing a bit of momentum and they don't make it easy for me to support the platform. It's expensive to develop for the console, and the Wii and the Xbox are just selling better. Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation.' This could be bad... http://ps3.ign.com/articles/996/996467p1.htmlMortal Kombat 9 will be rated M. Yay!! BLOOOOD!! After playing MK vs DC, which wasn't bad by the way, I'd like to have MK return to it's roots. Fighting, blood, and fatalities are such a gorgeous mix don't you think? That's all for now. I'll be posting more PS3 and Wii news next time.

Hay warrior, the original, prototype HALO: combat evolved, was an RTS, but the developers werent too sure about the unit classes used and the build for the RTS so they made it into a FPS.
Another fun fact is taht the original HALO was an RTS and a FPS, you had the ability in-game to switch between controlling the soldiers and controlling just master chief at will. Again, they thought it was just too confusing with that so they settled on FPS.
And HALO wars is fun.

Again, they thought it was just too confusing with that so they settled on FPS. And HALO wars is fun. Yeah, I knew all that. I just didn't feel like typing it all. But thanks for the contribution. Time for More News!!!! http://ps3.ign.com/articles/996/996837p1.htmlAny one here about that Playstation Cloud rumore going around the net? Well, if you haven't it supposedly lets you access all saves files from any PS3, take pictures and upload them on Youtube and such. It's all fake. Says so here. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/997/997471p1.htmlThe PS3 gets another firmware update and it's available right now. Appearantly all it's for, according to the article, is to improve some of the quality of the software playback. Hey, if it makes it better than it already is, that's a plus in my book. http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/143/14332801/imgs_1.htmlI'm not nor have I ever been a fan of Max Payne. However, these screen shots do look rather nice I must say. I can't wait to see what it looks like in motion. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/997/997281p1.htmlWhat? Dr. Dre may be featured in DJ Hero? Has he ever done anything DJ related? Sorry guys, I'm not a fan of rap so I wouldn't know. Secondly, I'm getting a little sick and tired of all these music games. I saw we boy cott them and make these developers come up with something new! Who's with me?! Anybody...? http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/886/886158/imgs_1.htmlIs any one else excited for God of War III as much as I am? Here are some screens to tide you over untill the game is released, hopefully by the end of this year, but don't hold your breath. It'll most likely get delayed untill 2010. Oh well. I'd rather it get delayed and be made into a better game than come out on time and have it suck. Also, if you haven't seen this game in motion via the demo at E3, you really missed something amazing. http://psp.ign.com/articles/996/996667p1.htmlLooks like the DS's GTA China Town Wars is coming to the PSP. Don't care myself, wasn't a fan of that game, but for all the people who love GTA and don't have a DS, but do have a PSP and want this game, rejoice! It'll be out later this year. http://psp.ign.com/articles/997/997056p1.htmlYou guys, if you didn't know already, Final Fantasy VII is insanely popular. This article says it's only been released for two weeks and it's been downloaded over 100,000 times already. Sooo... I wonder if they're going to work on that remake? Hmmm... Only time will tell. Whatever the case, Square Enix knows that if it's ever in a bind, all they have to do is re-release FFVII. Lol. That's all for now. I know I said I'd get some Wii news, but honestly, there isn't anything worth reporting at this time. If anyone stumbles accross some interesting Wii news then by all means, go ahead and post it. I also sort of need some help with the PSP and DS news. Who wants that job?

gingerkidnumber2 i have visited the subforum... OMG THERE A DEVIL MAY CRY ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you made my day Wow, I'm surprised someone came to the subforum. This means I'll have to post more news! And yes, there is an anime of Devil May Cry, however, I've heard that there are only 12 episodes and that's it. I haven't personally seen the anime myself. I wonder if it's canon to the DMC universe? News Time!!!! Kingdom Hearts 3 has been announced!!! Just kidding. IGN thinks that this is the way to go about the third entry. See if you agree. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1008582p1.htmlI grew tired of the Guitar Hero games after Guitar Hero 2, however, GH5 might just bring me back for more. Here's the complete track list for the game, which by the way will be completely unlocked from the start. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1002273p1.htmlFEAR 2 is getting another downloadable add on. It's titled FEAR 2 Reborn. You take the perspective of a replica foxtrot 813 solider in four single player missions. I haven't played this game myself yet except for the demo, which I really enjoyed. I was a fan of the first game though. http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/100/1008718p1.htmlIs Gearbox working on Halo 4? I'd certainly like to see a Halo 4. Bungie has said that after Halo Reach, they're stepping away from the franchise, but that doesn't mean it'll be like that forever. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1008683p1.htmlUnlike a lot of hardcore gamers, I am actually excited for Project Natal. Looks like it'll be launching late next year. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/100/1008628p1.html

OK, Lost Planet 2 is looking promising, including 4 player co-op, the ability to drop a shield point-blank in front of a rocket-wielding player and having him own himself.
On a PC note, Guild Wars 2 is going to be out in less than a year, or so the developers have said, and it promises to have some VERY intersting races and creatures.
Haruhi, get over tio my house ASAP, cause i gots some concept art of GW2 that will make you interested, if not, fire monkeys will burn your socks, and hit you with baby leprachauns.

Okay, let's look at this logically.
Lost Planet has:
Robots
and
the occasional Drill.
OCCASIONAL is not enough.
EVERY robot must have a big-a** drill somewhere in its design unless it is Dark Gundam.
