25/07/2008 : Si les jeux de combats ont toujours eu la côte, ces dernières années l'aspect humoristique des choses a été un peu oublié par des studios qui cherchaient soit le grand spectacle façon Soul Calibur soit le réalisme à la Fight Night. Sans renier ce dernier, Electronic Arts semble pourtant vouloir revenir à quelque chose de plus « déconnant » et impossible de ne pas penser à ce bon vieux Punch Out!! lorsque l'on pose le regard sur Preview de FaceBreaker sur Xbox 360, chez JeuxVidéo.fr.
25/07/2008 : L'opération séduction engagée par Microsoft sur le sol japonais n'a toujours pas été avortée malgré les échecs successifs. Preuve en est le développement toujours en cours d'Infinite Undiscovery dans les renommés studios de Tri-Ace, auteurs de la série Star Ocean. S'il est difficile de juger un tel jeu sur un salon comme l'E3, nous nous sommes tout de même lancés dans une première approche. Quelques parties assez avancées Preview de Infinite Undiscovery sur Xbox 360, chez JeuxVidéo.fr.
25/07/2008 : Après deux succès critiques (KOTOR II et Neverwinter Nights 2), il était temps pour Obsidian Entertainment de s'investir sur un titre totalement original. C'est en tout cas la volonté affichée du jeune studio californien venu présenter Alpha Protocol lors de la grand messe californienne du jeu vidéo. Flirtant beaucoup plus avec l'action malgré une dimension RPG bien présente, Alpha Protocol s'est dévoilé en détails tout au long d'une présentation très complète. Premier aperçu.

25/07/2008 : Franchise fatiguée depuis quelques épisodes, Mortal Kombat ne donnait plus signe de réveil. Et puis voilà que ce cher Ed Boon se pointe tout sourire pour nous annoncer un improbable cross-over avec les super héros de l'univers DC. Stupeur, personne ne semble vraiment comprendre où s'embarque le géniteur de la saga. Au point que l'on demanderait presque à John Preview de Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe sur Xbox 360, chez JeuxVidéo.fr.
25/07/2008 : C’est sous un soleil étouffant à Paris qu’on a pu mettre la main sur une version preview quasi-définitive de Too Human, le dernier projet de Silicon Knight qui est à l’origine entre autre du très honnête Eternal Darkness mais aussi du remake du premier opus de Metal Gear Solid sur Game Cube. Ayant traversé plusieurs péripéties malencontreuses durant tout son développement, Too Human est enfin prêt à atterrir en exclusivité sur Xbox360. Impressions.

25/07/2008 : What do RPG fans want? Rise of the Argonauts' lead designer Charley Price believes they want a strong, customisable character with choices to make. And beyond that, it should be simple. Price says he's been busy "discarding the baggage of Dungeons & Dragons" for Argonauts - due out on PC, PS3 and 360 later this year - because it's Preview de Rise of the Argonauts sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : It's not really in the room yet, but playing through a near-finished build of Too Human, Diablo III is certainly an elephant on the horizon. Cruising around the universe as a cyberpunk Norse myth splattering tinsel-covered robots with a big blue hammer, something Blizzard's Rob Pardo said the Preview de Too Human sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Mirror's Edge isn't your typical videogame dystopia, and that's exactly the point. There's no rust, no rubble, and no legions of storm troopers running through shattered streets. Instead there's gleaming cleanliness, a spotless high-rise environment of shining steel and glass without a leaf out of place. This is an altogether different vision of hell - a sanitised and well-kept prison Preview de Mirror's Edge sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Spare a thought for beleaguered developers at this time of year. Getting a major project out on time, on budget and up to scratch typically entails a superhuman commitment to the cause, marriage-wrecking long hours, and a sworn renunciation of selfish luxuries like sleep and personal hygiene.

25/07/2008 : Africa may prove difficult territory for Resident Evil 5, and not just because of Umbrella Corp meddling. The E3 2007 teaser struck an unpleasantly colonial chord by suggesting that - crikey! - you'll certainly be shooting a lot of black Preview de Resident Evil 5 sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : "I'm not a planner," Peter Molyneux is telling us. "I don't plan my life more than a few seconds into the future." We're sitting in a demo room in Lionhead's Guildford offices. There are timelines on the walls, and spreadsheets littered about the table. Controller in hand, Molyneux isn't admitting Preview de Fable 2 sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Well, it's the apocalypse again, but at least Darksiders: Wrath of War has the class to bring in the big guns. This time we get the Four Horsemen themselves, War, Death, Strife and Fury. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that the last two are new additions from the subs bench; that's presumably because it's hard to make Preview de Darksiders : Wrath of War sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Fifteen men on a dead man's chest! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!" No wait, that's pirates isn't it? Well, it's all seaman related and all equally safe harbour away from bald space marines and World War II shooters. Except of course it's not, but Preview de Battlestations : Pacific sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : The first thing you need to know about Banjo-Kazooie's expansive E3 demo is the one that's going to get the traditionalists shaking and sputtering with rage: you don't do very much platforming in it. The second thing you need to know, following close on the heels of the first, is that that's fine, because it's still great fun.

25/07/2008 : If it's any consolation to Cliff Bleszinski, we're forever picking on developers at E3, so he shouldn't feel bad that our first question is whether he was actually playing Gears of War 2 at Microsoft's conference. For those who missed it, the demo began and Marcus advanced towards a smoke-drowned Jacinto skyline before the video Preview de Gears of War 2 sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : The two Cryptic staff demoing Champions Online to us in a cosy meeting room in 2K's E3 suite are playing on Xbox 360 pads. They're playing on PCs, not 360s - the game doesn't have concept approval from Microsoft just yet, although the team are confident of it - but the pads are still a telling, Preview de Champions Online sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : My enduring memory of Casino Royale is the scene where Daniel Craig wades out of the ocean in his speedos. Apparently this vision of slick-skinned beefcakery caused some viewers to swoon, and understandably so. Me, I was simply staring in incredulity at the size of the man, thinking "bloody Preview de James Bond 007 : Quantum of Solace sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Where does DICE get its inspiration? Looking at the Battlefield series, you might guess the answer is dark and gritty war films, the latest developments in military technology, documentary footage of actual battles and the like. But the answer, of course, is ballet.

25/07/2008 : Arse is the new tits. That's just one of the trends I noticed emerging from this year's E3, which is to gaming what London Fashion Week is to people who make trousers for a living. Other trends include games set in post-apocalyptic American cities (I counted approximately 47,000 of these), and games about shooting mud-coloured Preview de Tomb Raider Underworld sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
25/07/2008 : Perhaps it's just bad timing. Perhaps it's unfortunate juxtaposition. Fallout 3 made its E3 debut in a demonstration at Microsoft's Xbox 360 briefing in close proximity to Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5. All of a sudden, in that contextPreview de Fallout 3 sur Xbox 360, chez EuroGamer.
