La demo di Rainbow Six: Vegas scaricabile dal Marketplace.

La demo del single player di Rainbow Six: Vegas è disponibile da oggi sul Marketplace di Xbox360. L'ambientazione è quella del livello giocabile in single player "Dante's Casino".

Players will Observe, Plan and Assault (O.P.A.) their way through the Gothic-themed casino that is under construction and believed to be a hideout for the terrorist leaders.
The game is set for release on PC, Xbox 360 and Ps3 (...spit!!!) in November

Ubisoft, have announced that the Xbox Live Vision Camera can be used in conjunction with the game to put your own face on the character. In just two simple steps, a head-on photo and a profile photo taken with the Vision Camera, gamers can create a custom head that looks exactly like the actual player. Once the custom head is completed, players can move on to customize their online character further by choosing weapons, clothing, camouflage and body armor.

"I played the OXM demo- which should be the same as downloading it off of Live...
I am hooked on this demo! Its the most fun I have had in a game in a long time! Kicks the crap outta' GRAW and Splinter Cell Double Agent..! -and this is just the demo without any options..
Im thinking this will give Gears of War a run for its money..? !! Gears of course will have better graphics, but the fun factor and options you have in R6 Vegas is going to be hard to beat.
The sound in R6 is amazing as well as everything else if I must say.. The background music is great, it really puts you in the mood to kick some arse!! Plus all the sound effects, from the weapons to the AI is alot better than anything before... more real than ever.
I love how they did the 3rd person view when taking cover (plus it changes into 3rd person when doing other actions as well-grappling and using quick ropes to slide down, ladders n such too). It makes the experience so, so, so much better than playing a regular 1st person shooter... Dont even compare it to PDZ!
Well I could go on about every little tid bit, but Im not.. I will say the IGN editors are saying that this game might be more fun and entertaining than Gears of War.....? HHhhhhhmmm. I will post that article later, will have to find it again!

Play the demo! As soon as you rope down from the chopper and the music starts in... well you'll see what I mean. " ....Deitrix

Forza Motorsport 2 First Look

What they say:
Forza Motorsport 2 Team:
Forza Motorsport2, the sequel to Microsoft Game Studios’ award-winning, fully customizable driving simulator Forza Motorsport, speeds its way onto Xbox 360 this holiday. With authentic simulation physics, bone-jarring damage, photo-realistic graphics, and licensed tuning and customization options, the franchise improves on the unprecedented features gamers enjoyed in its debut installment. Loaded with more than 300 of the world’s hottest cars for you to collect, personalize and tune, Forza Motorsport 2 gives you a complete racing experience.

Eurogamer (european release date March 27th 2007)
...even the grass is in 3D, and the shader detail on the cars makes them look as close to realism as anyone's managed to date. Regarding the inevitable customisation aspect, expect Forza 2 to be greatly enhanced, with the ability to customise up to 4000 layers per car - a big leap over the 600 layers in Forza 1.

IGN (US release date Q1 2007)
,,,expanded online capabilities, adding even more leaderboards, and stepping up the presentation and challenge set by Project Gotham Racing 3 at the console's launch. expanding

Review Samurai Warriors 2 (Xbox 360)

A third person action beat em up! Featuring 26 playable characters in all. Team up with friends for two-player Co-op play or compete with them at "Sugoroku," a bonus party game for up to four players. Challenge an opponent in two-player Vs. play exclusively through Xbox Live. Over 70 cinematic sequences supervised by Shinsuke Sato, director of the cult hit, "The Princess Blade" and new music from fusion artist Minoru Mukaiya. Despite all this the game only managed a paltry 56% from 16 reviews on Metacritic.com

Reviews Summary
A finely tuned beat-'em-up, thrilling, visceral, bombastically brilliant.
One of the dullest and most repetitive games played in recent memory.
Dull and predictable gameplay, stale gameplay, Avoid.
More compelling than "Ninety-Nine Nights," but that's not saying much.
Graphics are disappointing, audio should've been left in Japanese.
Over-indulge, and you'll get sick of it quickly.
The models and textures are very low rate,
Enemy AI knows only to attack or run

Star Trek Legacy First Encounter

Okay so the dogs in the street know the release dates for

Star Trek: Encounters (Ps2)This week
Star Trek: Tactical Assault(PSP DS) October 27th
Star Trek: Legacy (PC Xbox 360) November 7th

And by all accounts, (here, here) this appears to be the Official 360 Boxart, but I've been wrong before.

The release of the three titles coincides with the 40th anniversary of the series and promise to be the bees knees in authentic experiences. Bethesda Softworks employed all five of television captains to provide voiceovers. William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Scott Bakula, Avery Brooks, and Kate Mulgrew just in case your preparing a pub quiz.

Star Trek Legacy spans the history of Star Trek, following the challenges facing the Starfleet as an Admiral of a task force of warships. Gameplay campaigns play out in all of the Star Trek eras This time around the Federation face an entirely new enemy.

An ancient species called the Iconians have time travel technology that could change the universe, but everything goes predictably wrong when Vulcan scientist Sovac decides to create a logical utopia and align with the Borg, forcing captains from all Star Trek timelines to come together and defeat the ultimate enemy.
With full multiplayer support, players can choose from small-scale engagements to all-out war involving multiple star systems in addition to tracking stats and player rankings.

As I'm quite sure nobody ever payed to use the transporter.... let's keep it authentic Bethesda and don't charge us for downloadable Photon Torpedos.

Blue Dragon Preview and Trailer

The first of two epic RPG projects for Microsoft by Mistwalker , the studio founded by Square-Enix's and Final Fantasy fame Hironobu Sakaguchi. Set for release in Japan on December 7th with a 2007 relase planned for the rest of us.

Blue Dragon featuring characters by designer Akira Toriyama (Dragon Quest, Dragon Ball, Chronoquest), tells the story of a young boy named Shu who has special adventure with his two friends and a mythical blue dragon.

The setting is a planet that is abundant with ancient ruins from a past civilization. The main character is a boy named Shu who is only 16 years of age. A few of his friends will be tagging along on his adventures such as Kluke and Jiro. There is drama between the three as Jiro has feelings towards Kluke and feels Shu is his rival trying to earn Kluke’s affection. The rest of the cast is completed by Zora, a 20-year old mercenary who doesn’t place any type of trust in anyone, and Marumaro, who is only 14. Marumaro is from the “Devi tribe” and he expresses himself through his awkward dances.

Famitsu Scans: Infinite Undiscovery

No idea as to the storyline or gameplay details, which would make you wonder what sort of interview questions Famitsu were asking. Tri-Ace president Yoshiharu Gota, producer of Infinite Undiscovery bored with the tried and tested RPG did say that his team are endeavouring to develop a game that "pulls on the excitement of a true RPG" a game which seeks to "combines the slow thought of standard RPGs with the quick reflexes required of a battle system with time limits, and the strategy of real time gameplay."
