E3 2011: Witcher 2 On Xbox 360 Is Awesome, PS3 Players Pray For Port

PC gamers were graced with The Witcher 2 about a month ago courtesy of CD Projekt RED. Upon release, the game received numerous commendations for its graphics, storytelling, combat system, and superb RPG elements. Up until now, the game has been a PC exclusive. Now, lucky Xbox 360 owners get to enjoy the rich tale following Geralt of Rivia on their console later on this year.

Don’t fret just yet PS3 gamers. There’s still hope for you yet. We were told that Witcher 2 isn’t a Microsoft exclusive and the only reason they aren’t currently working on a Playstation version is that they like to focus on one project at a time. They did convey interest in expanding their fanbase by bringing the game to more consoles in the future however.

Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 will come out before the year ends.

Has Final Fantasy Versus XIII become the next Duke Nukem Forever?

The lack of information in the space of six years, will be very worrying for fans. 

Product-Reviews writes: The lack of information in the space of six years, will be very worrying for fans. Dare we say it, but has Final Fantasy Versus rolled into development hell and become the next Duke Nukem Forever? It now looks like Square-Enix will release Final Fantasy XIII-2 before they push Versus XIII out, which again will be met with considerable frustration by patient fans. 

Some of you may have forgot this, but Versus XIII was actually unveiled SIX years ago at E3 2006. Since then, we have heard very little facts about the game’s storyline, with only a few trailers released in that period of time. This is backed up by producer Yoshinori Kitase’s reluctance to commit to a release in 2011, although we can’t really criticize them too much as they never gave a release date in the first place.

Sony and Nintendo missed something big at E3

Gaming Irresponsibly's Josh Knowles writes: I’ve been giving this some thought. There has been so much talk about who won or lost E3, some say Microsoft while others say Nintendo and even others claim Sony came in last. When it comes down to it, your system of choice came in ahead and likely it’s competitor’s show was a joke. There really was a loser this year at E3 though and ironically, they do not hail from house Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft but from your own.

I am an equal opportunity gamer, I play most multiplayer games on 360 due to the social environment and I play the Playstation for almost every single player title. Nintendo is played for it’s exclusives and not much else. Something, though, that I noticed was the fact that everyone but Microsoft doesn’t support the indie dev. Now, this isn’t anything new, Sony and Nintendo have made statements before relating to the fact that they don’t plan any support for garage devs or the indie market. However, E3 is one of those times where these platforms can take the opportunity to rob one another of marketshare. For indie devs and fans, the choices are very clear, PC and 360.

Submitted by Feckles 4h ago | news Why Infinity Ward Isn't Talking About Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer

NowGamer has been speaking with Rob Bowling from Infinity Ward about Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and in particular why it hasn't shown anything of the multiplayer game yet.


Bowling explained, “It’s up and running. We play it every night but multiplayer is that thing that at this point in development, it’s changing every day. We’re constantly putting something in, trying it out, taking it out, reshuffling things for balance… it’s changing every day."


Rumour has it that Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer will be detailed in September at Gamescom.

E3 2011: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Longer than Predecessor; 360 Version Might Have 3 or More Discs

We all know the fact that Final Fantasy XIII is a huge game as the Xbox 360 version has three discs. With the sequel coming out in Japan by the end of the year and early next year for North America, Xbox 360 owners can expect another FF game that will have multiple disc.

From what we played today, some of the sidequests to expect are similar to what FFXIII has to offer. The L’Cieth will be there in each dungeon to give the player quests and the objectives will pretty much slay the monster. Since what we played are just a demo, it could change on the final version. However, the representative mentioned that sidequests will be a lot better and meaningful than XIII.

Last night Sony showcased all of what we’re supposed to look forward to in the coming months for the PlayStation brand, and they truly had a solid conference.

Sony E3 Press Conference: Exclusives, Biggest Rumours and Expected Announcements

GamingBolt.com previews the Sony E3 Press Conference stating the biggest rumors, expected announcements and exclusives that gamers can expect. There are also some unexpected predictions from Sony's conference.

GB: "Sony is in a mess. 2011, so far, has been nothing short of a nightmare for them.Their online service, PlayStation Network recently got hacked, and was down for a MONTH. Nobody could play any games online, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, all PSN users’ credit card information was at risk. When PSN finally did manage to come back up, the PS Store was facing problems, and it’s only now, a week after PSN recovered, that the Store is back up.   

So it’s kind of obvious that Sony have to have a stellar E3 conference this year so that they can win back the confidence of their fans and followers. Fortunately, they look all set to deliver one of their best conferences in recent memory- they’re set to shows the lineup of the NGP, the price, release date and final name of their new handheld system, no...

Mortal Kombat – CFD! Review

Sage Knox from CFD takes a look at the revival of classic Fighting Franchise.

The success of Mortal Kombat ultimately lies within the fighting mechanics. Instead of relying on the overly complicated combinations and insane frame counting of other fighting games, a player can survive the story mode and hold his own against other average players by learning a few key combos and attacks for each character. As with any skill-based game, the more time someone spends to learn a specific character’s tendencies and moves, the greater proficiency they’ll have against other players.

G4TV - Saints Row: The Third Story & Gameplay Preview

What type of genre should be given to Saint Row, I don't know what you people are thinking about this game may be my thinking will be much different from that of yours but this game reminds me the memories of PROTOTYPES. I don't know why but this game is too far from the reality as the PROTOTYPE was. Could you tell me the name of any game like this. However, We are waiting, when we'll convert Humans into Cannonballs.

G4TV - Dildo bat? Check. A car capable of turning people into human cannonballs? Check. Engaging in a shootout while riding a helicopter-hoisted bank vault? Double check. The only game that could ever feature these elements? You guessed it: THQ’s latest open-world absurdity factory, aka Saints Row: The Third. Volition’s follow up to the top-to-bottom bananas Saints Row 2 aims to push the sophomoric, blithely bizarre formula established in the first two titles to its absolute limits, and from what we saw at THQ’s recent pre-E3 showcase, there is no doubt the developers are well on track to do it.
