Random Gaming News

Found some interesting news so far today.

1) There will be a downloadable game to coincide with the release of Scott Pilgrim. It seems that you essentially fight as Billy against the evil ex's. However, it is going to be kinda 8-bit. Woohoo! The screens look pretty cool.

2) There will also be a downloadable prologue to Dead Rising 2. You play as Chuck, but 3 years before the events of the main game. Somehow, the creator has said that this will serve as a demo for the retail game as well. Intrigued.

3) Kinect has officially been priced at $149.99. Way to go Microsoft. You have priced your motion control peripheral at $50 under the Wii. So, to have motion control gaming on the 360, consumers need to spend a minimum of $200-$300 for the console and the peripheral. Smooth move. Here's hoping that controller-free motion control is worth it.

4) EA is cooking up a new, open world RPG. The names attached to this alone are reason enough to keep it on your radar: NY Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore, legendary artist Todd McFarlane, and Morrowind and Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston. There really aren't many details about it available yet, but just the announcement got a "GOO!" out of me.

Gnome, out
