I just posted and deleted a story GameInfomer repeated from a NEOGAF thread about an IGN thread. This one is as ludicrous as the "Playstaion Phone" story.
These pics really are the worst fakes ever (which is how a Bungie representative described them). Please don't post this in the news as I mistakenly did.

Who is this Tom fellow?
I'm also of the opinion that the DC controller was a pain in the ass to use. I never was able to comfortably hold it. It was especially a nightmare for fighting games if I recall correctly.
Seriously AWESOME!
I love the kind of dedication Street Fighter always inspires!
It must be the day for awesome images!
^ Robio approved?
Do I hear Endless Ocean talk?
Glad you are enjoying it ASK, try out the first game too, it probably has more interesting and memorable environments, although it doesn't have the gamey structure of the second game.
Oh yeah, Epic Mickey.
Pretty Epic now.
The game takes a while to get going but it's most definitely worth it. If you loved Rare's N64 platformers, you will eat, this, up.
It's a much larger, deeper game than you imagine, but it opens up fairly slowly. Also, like Mr T would say, I pity the fool who plays this on an HDTV. You will miss the rounded, soft, clean look and not be able to appreciate some of the stunning art on display. And also, this is a game you will play twice to see what you could have done before.
Yep. I approve and I'd hit it with the ferocity of Meta Ridley.
Spector wants to make Duck Tales desperately
I'll go ahead and write Spector a letter recommendation to the good folks at Disney. That's an idea that I think a lot of people have bounced around for a while and it absolutely should happen.

if they make a duck tales game i'd buy it on day 1, capcom needs to work it out with disney to release there games on the VC i miss them
What's funnier is that there is a Duck Tales comic book which people say Inception copied the plot from.
wow lately Famitsu been giving out high scores like candy lately they are starting to lose any creditably they may have had with me
Capcom had a bunch of great licensed games on the NES. Duck Tales 1 & 2, Willow, and Little Nemo were all great. Even games like Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, Rescue Rangers, and Mickey Mousecapades were quite good.
Witcher 2
So no one here has Kinect yet?
Take the bullet, I want to hear your impressions.
EDIT:
No one has Move either?
WTF is up with Eurogamer and Metro, these British reviewers seem to have a bug up their butt about Mickey mouse in a dark world.
Metro:
"Maybe it's just us but the idea of taking Mickey Mouse and making him 'darker, more mature' is just a step too far. As seemingly every kid's property is transformed into a glum, violent pastiche of its earlier self we'd at least thought Disney would be immune to such trends. But here he's press-ganged into a Nintendo-esque platformer with a Mass Effect style morality system. How that ever could've seemed like a good idea we don't know…"
Eurogamer:
"Fundamentally, Epic Mickey misunderstands what people love about Mickey Mouse. He simply doesn't fit in this grim, post-modern dystopia, dripping with bitter-sweet nods to forgotten corners of Disney lore, nor does he need to confront his dark commercial heart to stay relevant in 2010.
He just needs to be Mickey, with blue skies, wholesome adventures and bright primary colours. A game with the breezy aesthetic and technical polish of Super Mario Galaxy, starring Mickey, Donald, Goofy and friends would do more to rekindle our affection for the mouse than this admirable but flawed attempt at forced reinvention."
It seems like this is some sticking point which ruins the whole game for them, giving 5/10 and 6/10 respectively.
EDIT:
WTF, another reviewer says there is no lock on when there is you just hold down C. Motherf***** That's IGN, Eurogamer and Metro - there IS a lock on dumbasses!
Metro:
"There's no lock-on for combat either, which given the camera's propensity for getting caught on walls or generally staring in the wrong direction is just as irritating."
