I read that Project Natal is having some Cirque Du Soleil show. Seems a bit strange that it's "as imagined by" not "Actual gameplay". Very suspect, more smoke and mirrors.

Nice!

drekkard · 7 June 2010

I'm stubbornly focused in one thing only: The last guardian. Everything else is secondary.

I agree 100% Drekkard. This is the most important game of the show. Cant wait!

mjsmith2k · 7 June 2010

I'm playing Shadow of the Colossus as I type :LOL:

.

Really looking forward to The Last Guardian too!

jaygrim · 7 June 2010

ICO was best.

jaygrim said:

Yep, agreed. SoTC was the only one I didn't get around to finishing as I got stuck on one of the giants, so I'm replaying it now I have a bit more spare time.

drekkard · 7 June 2010

Stuck on the geiser colossus maybe?

Yep, that's the one. Youtube has been very helpful though

drekkard · 9 June 2010

That was the hardest one for me. From then on, it was quite easy... and awesome too!

tobi · 10 June 2010

mjsmith2k · 12 June 2010

Cheers Billy.

So many FPS games out this year and next though, probably only a couple there worth the effort.

No problem. More updates coming later. Just a bit busy with something called the World Cup.

Way too many FPS games being released. Need to see more genres and new original titles at E3.

LATEST NEWS - JUNE 13TH 2010:

YouTube Teams With IGN To Broadcast E3, Continues To Ramp Up Live Streaming

Next week, the world’s leading video game makers and throngs of fans and press will unite for E3, which is generally regarded as the most prominent annual gaming-focused news event. And this year, fans will be able to watch live, thanks to a live stream that’s being broadcast through a partnership between YouTube and gaming portal IGN.

YouTube will be live streaming the main press conferences (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft) and content from IGN’s E3 booth which will include game demos and interviews. All of this will be available on the channel YouTube.com/E3.

IGN has of course been covering E3 for as long as I can remember. But this is new territory for YouTube, which has been gradually ramping up its live streaming efforts in the last year or so. YouTube live streams used to primarily focus on political events, but it’s since streamed a handful of concerts, the Tiger Woods press conference, and the Indian Premier League’s cricket tournament.

We also recently found evidence of a live stream button available on some YouTube accounts, though the shot in question was of CitizenTube which regularly broadcasts livestreams. Still, Max Haot, the CEO of Livestream, felt that the button was “strong evidence” that YouTube was planning to launch a live streaming feature.

I’ll be surprised if YouTube launches a live streaming option for individuals in the near future (it would be a huge liability). But clearly the site isn’t afraid of working with trusted partners, and I expect we’ll continue to see more deals like this one.

Update: It’s also worth pointing out that Ustream will be broadcasting content from E3 through partnerships with G4 and 1UP. Their channel is ustream.tv/e3.
