More Screens (Thanks Eirik Olsen!)

Remember the plots that Rare stated could be the story for the next Banjo? Now we may find out soon which is real!

“We haven’t revealed the gameplay mechanic yet,” George Kelion, Rare community manager, told Eurogamer. “It’s not a racing game, and people are honestly better off waiting until tomorrow when we are going to be talking about it extensively before drawing their own conclusions.

“The honest truth is that people don’t know the half of it yet. The game is not just a graphical showcase.”

Thanks to everyone who sent this in… sorry it was a bit late:

Hey Everyone

On behalf of everyone here at GoneMicrosoft I just want to wish you all and your mom’s a happy Mother’s Day!

I will be away today visiting my mom who is in town this weekend as well as my grandma so updating on my part will have to wait until later. My apologies for any inconvenience, but I need to take care of family business.

Have a fun and safe day and make sure you all give your moms a big hug!

GTA fans had their moment. It’s time for the GoW fans to shine!

Scheduled for release on May 23rd, Top Spin 3 is shaping up to be a great looking tennis game to get us through the summer, and perhaps give Virtua Tennis a run for its money.

Top Spin 3 also includes plenty of tournaments, exhibitions, a training school, a player creator and online play.

You may have seen this if you had the internet last night and your eyes were open. Now, Xbox 360 Fanboy breaks down what we saw.

Things Learned From Gears of War 2 Gameplay Trailer
• The Locust now have the ability to sink entire cities with giant emergence holes.
• To defend against the Locust onslaught, the COG transport vehicles called Derricks bring tunnel machines called Grind Lifts to Locust occupied areas. Underground combat ensues.
• Campaign level act one, chapter three is named “Assault”.
• Reavers are back for GoW2 and they are trouble.
• Both the cover system and active reload look to stay true to their Gears roots.
• Overall combat is much more open and expansive, it truly looks like you’re in the middle of a war.
• Brumaks are back and yes, you will be gunning them down. Take that Gears of War PC!
• The ability to generate hundreds of Locusts on screen looks (as we expected) to be used to set the mood of the battle and make it more frantic. Think of these hundreds of Locusts as interactive decoration.
• We’re introduced to a new Lancer style weapon that shoots ammo in bursts.
• We’re also introduced to a new pistol weapon that sort of looks like Halo 3’s Brute Spiker.
• When a Locust falls to his knees you’ll be able to use him as hostage cover.
• Locust neck snapping is now an option.
• They’ve added a new chainsaw animation that was seen in the teaser trailer. Basically, the chainsaw is flipped over, stuck into a Locust’s back and is forced up vertically through the torso. Bloody disgusting.
• Chainsaw duels are real! The chainsaw victor is the one who can press “B” the fastest in the mini game.
• Assault Derricks pack a lot of firepower and do a pretty good job at running over Brumaks.
• Gears of War 2 is going to be incredible!
