Yes, I’m a racing game whore, so almost any racer screens get me going. But what really gets my gears shifting is shots from a rally game. Filthy. Codemasters’DiRT 3is such a game, and these new screens do it for me. City stuff is pretty, but I want mud and rain and sloshing and sliding. Judging from these screens? Check. There’s 50 cars that’ll rip through Europe, Africa and US rally stages....

During a demo today at E3, Freestyle Games busted outDJ Hero‘s “DJ vs. Guitar” mode, giving us a look at the odd-sounding mode for the first time. It is exactly what it sounds like — a battle in which a DJ (using theDJ Heroturntable controller) goes head to head against a player using any compatible guitar peripheral. The song we saw was a mash-up between Foo Fighter’s “Monkey Wrench” (on guitar) and The Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage....

Plus, with the next Bond film on hold this is all I’ve got....
This year’s E3 was full of amazing things, and while Nintendo clearly came in second to Konami when it came to press conferences they did have many epic moments. No moment was more epic than Reggie Fils-Aime getting lit on fire by Bowser. This happened in the greatest Nintendo commercial ever: the commercial for the 3DS. Nintendo has had a long history ofepic commercialsthat have been appreciated by fans for various reasons....
Last night, EA held an event to showcase some of their new titles coming out for the coming winter and spring.

Activision has been boasting that it made millions out of theModern Warfare 2“Stimulus Pack” DLC. Fellow publisher and bitter rival Electronic Arts never misses a chance to criticize Activision, and has been quick to state that the financial celebration was in poor taste, following theInfinity Ward decimation. “This is kind of like announcing: The race horse I shot last month has won the Triple Crown!”, retorts director of corporate communications Jeff Brown....

So Xbox really had its claws into me, and I just never boughtHeavenly Sword....
While Project Natal will be infinitely cool if it works as promisedandgames are made specifically for the device and not simply forced to adapt its motion controls, but there is one thing I cannot stop thinking about: first- and third-person shooters. How exactly are they going to work in a meaningful way using Natal? I couldn’t say. Epic Games, that one company that kind of maybe knows a thing or two about making successful shooters, seems to agree....
It looks likeEpic Mickeywill appear on more than just the Wii. Don’t get too excited here — we’re talking books.NeoGAF(viaKotaku) recently discoveredtwodifferentAmazon listings for books that seemingly tie into the upcoming game’s narrative. The first of which appears to be a kid’s book dubbed “Epic Mickey — It’s Your Call.” The other is titled “Epic Mickey Junior Novel.” Both are being published by Disney Press. The latter is the more interesting of the two as it (1) again seemingly, might just be a novelization of the game’s events and (2) will probably have bigger words than “It’s Your Call,” meaning we’ll look more sofisticated to hot chicks while carrying it around....
