Yeah I've been wondering about the recent spat of 500 errors I've been getting.
Nice Vanquish vid, this game looks like it's going to be a total blast to play.
Enslaved is looking pretty fantastic as well.
Haven't checked out the latest Infamous 2 pics but will take a look later.
Here's the list of what Capcom will be showing off at E3:
--Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
--Okamiden
--Bionic Commando Rearmed 2
--Sengoku BASARA: Samurai Heroes
--Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
--Dead Rising 2
--Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
--MotoGP 09/10
Huh? That can't be right. Where's Super Street Fighter IV Hyper Turbo?
Cannot wait for Fable III after missing out on Fable II.
And what's nto to love about that shot.

Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
I was using thewaybackmachine.com to look at some old versions of gaming websites and came across this story. Firstly, wow, Pachter has been around for a while, I thought he had only come to prominance in the last 3 years. And Secondly, I had completely forgotten about EA's stake in Ubisoft: (from Jan 1, 2005)
Just five days before Christmas, with many game industry staffers already on vacation, Electronic Arts dropped an explosive bit of news on the wires. In a short press release, it acknowledged having purchased an estimated $85-$100 million worth of Ubisoft shares.
The move--a surprise to the vast majority of industry observers--gave it a 19.9 percent ownership position in one of its fiercest competitors. Wedbush Morgan senior analyst Michael Pachter told GameSpot, "I think EA is interested in Ubisoft's development talent and in its Gameloft investment [in wireless games]."
But is that all? "I don't know if EA wants to take them out," Pachter said, "but given that Ubi has a pretty strong set of licenses and great development--with a more Euro-centric sales profile--it's a combination that makes sense from EA's perspective."
Pachter assessed the stock acquisition as something clearly less benign than what EA had portrayed it as. "EA is not in the business of making passive investments in public companies," Pachter concluded.
I hope I didn't come off as trying to belittle your comments. I guess I joke around a lot and the smileys like this
and this
aren't always helpful. Sorry.
Anyone hoping for a new Resident Evil at E3?
So many scans, yet so little that interests me.
The art style is kinda weird in a good way. It's sort of halfway between being HD gritty but then it has searingly bright colours, which I like.
Ugh, what's with that Spiderman trailer. I'm midway through season 3 of the 1995 cartoon series and it's like the perfect representation of the character to me. On reflection (also at the end of season 3 of the X-men 90s series) Spiderman is a much better series than the X-men when you go back and watch them.
Reminds me of a couple of months back when there was a freaking bird fight and they smashed against my windows and flapped about.
Do you remember last E3 in the conference thread? Football guy was there a lot.
Only Dead Rising 2 interests me, well and Ghost Trick by the Phoenix Wright writer. Is Dead Rising case zero going to be like that Dark Void 8 bit game?
This also from 2005. Can you imagine/ remember?
"The GameCube is shut out of the console top 20 as Gran Turismo 4 retains pole position"
I have no interest in any of them. Maybe Okamiden. Maybe.

Oh great, you'll flood out my awesome stories
Actually they were not that great today, 'cept for Iwata Asks.
If GI gave Alpha Protocol a 6.5 it must be utter garbage. I guess they must have reviewed Split Second last month.

Is this an actual screen from Mario Galaxy 2?
Considering your bad connection, you do very well on updates thanks.
From the IGN Podcast story above, "Level-5 wants to publish Professor Layton in North America/Europe"
That's interesting. There are five of them out in Japan, here we only have two. And the Level 5 CEO said that in order to become like EA and Ubisoft they would have to start being more agressive in the west (which is pretty ambitious for a company that only does Inazuna and Layton) -- but good for him.
Ooooops.
