It's pretty cool that games like Rayman Origins and Tintin are 3D on 3DS. I wouldn't really be interested in them, but they seem like handheld sort of games and there's room for them in the system library at this point.

In The Adventures of Tintin: The Game, play as Tintin, the intrepid reporter and hero of the action-packed movie The Adventures of Tintin directed by Steven Spielberg. Developed in close collaboration with the filmmaking team, the video game offers an authentic immersion into the movie’s enchanting environments and characters.


Players will experience non-stop action and adventure as they investigate the mystery of a lifetime that may lead them to one of the greatest sunken treasures. But the quest won’t be easy and players will need to join forces with the quick-witted dog Snowy and the grumpy Captain Haddock to beat greedy art collectors, kooky arms dealers, and other crooks to reveal the truth behind the Secret of the Unicorn ship.

BTW if anyone wants to import Xenoblade Zavvi offers free shipping to the USA and is a reputable company many have used before.

Thanks man.

Wow those pics of Batman look great. Batman AA kind of reminded me of Bioshock as well. They have similar art, and similar atmosphere.

My back is killing me, so no more news from me for a few hours.

There are plenty of stories out there if someone else wants to look about.

Played tons of Fallout: New Vegas last night....up to the Ghouls flying into space part. This game has really grown on me, its gotten really good to the point where I think it may be better than F3. They didn't start it off strong, but a few hours in it just takes off....much more impressive weapon selection and such in this one, and they really nailed the dark humor and comedy of the old Fallout games much moreso than F3.

Told you, its awesome. Wait till you get to the Strip.

DmC getting good impressions at the show???? It seems to now have heavy platforming in it as well, interesting...

“They’re pulling me into Limbo!” Dante shouts as he draws his sword. The angles of the city change, becoming something out of M.C. Escher’s nightmares. Buildings crowd oppressively over the street. Apartments that looked normal, if disheveled, take on a grim hue as their stonework facades adopt a tinge of corruption. The people walking the streets fade away, replaced by translucent silhouettes that phase in and out of sight. Only the girl’s voice remains. Only she can talk to Dante when he occupies this other world – why? Capcom won’t say just yet, but did admit that the unnamed young woman plays a pivotal role in Devil May Cry’s story.

With his unstoppable sword, two iconic handguns, and the new spectral axe and scythe weapons he has access to in his demon and angel personas, Dante obliterates the skeletons that spontaneously take shape on this monstrous plane. After spreading them in an even layer along a city block, our hero uses his chain to traverse the crumbling balconies that front along a street that no longer offers a path – the pavement has fallen away, leaving only a twisting formlessness calling Dante into the void. The same chain used for traversal (and, naturally, whipping enemies helplessly about during combat) spikes the demonic eyeball and rips it from the camera with a wet slurp. This section of the demo ends as the city reverts to its normal proportions and Dante returns to the mortal sphere.

Another scenario served as an even more impressive indication of the direction Ninja Theory and Capcom are taking DMC. Dante is once again pulled into Limbo as he enters a cathedral, but this time it’s not the undead he has to fear – it’s the city itself. The floor falls away, revealing another glimpse of horribly roiling netherspace. The walls slam in, closer, closer, trying to crush Dante as he sprints toward a sliver of daylight in front of him. Prominently featuring the chain and his angelic-powered air dash, Dante’s mad dash through the possessed cathedral (which keeps elongating in front of him, refusing to let him go and twisting Euclidean space beyond its natural limits to do so) is almost parkour. Finally, he reaches the stained glass window that offers escape, only to have the wall tilt away from him as the cathedral extends its grasp as far as it can. Dante slides down the animated structure and shoots out the window to allow his weight to clumsily crash through the glass, ending that section of the demo.

The element of the demo that makes me so enthusiastic for DMC is the hardest thing to put into words: the sheer sense of physical threat that the city projects. Walls don’t just grind together in their quest to paste Dante; they slam toward one another in fits and starts. The cathedral toys with Dante, flinging the floor in front of him suddenly out of reach as he sprints away from the malevolent architecture and playing games with the player’s perspective as an exit that seemed so close is yanked away at the last second. The techniques used in DMC are part of successful horror cinema canon for good reason; they evoke gut-twisting reactions by turning around our intuitive grasp of spatial reasoning.

I'm a bad boy...

...and I should have my ability to edit news articles taken away this very moment!

Hmm I have got 9 days to finish Skyrim... well it looks like I will stop midgame. Probably not play for like 2 weeks then come back to it forgeting where I was, and what I was doing.

I put in a vacation for the week before Zelda....oh well. Still, too many games coming in November. I'll be lucky to finish 2 of them that week.

Why would NOA make a ludicrous statement that the Wii Slim is not going to be released in North America?

I guess they want to clear current inventory (or get close) for they announce it?
