E3 Report: Xbox 360

So with most of the major announcements taken care of, I figured that I'd talk about E3, starting with what's coming for the 360.

Brutal Legend
Coming from the creative minds at Double Fine, we have Brutal Legend. This is your epic heavy metal hack and slasher, staring talents such as Jack Black and Lemmy Kilmister. I had a hell of a time with Psychonauts and I look forward to doing the same with this.

King of Fighters XII
I love me some old school fighters and KOF seems to be of old school awesomeness, akin to what we saw in Street Fighter IV.

Metal Gear Solid Rising
Kojima-san announced MGSR with a brief trailer showing of a new render of Raiden, the game's hero. Since it's now "Lighting Bolt Action: Metal Gear Solid" I'm guessing were going to get the freaky (but awesome) love-child of Ninja Gaiden and the other MGS games.

Halo 3: ODST
It's Halo, what can I say? But, what draws me to this is how this will be told through the flashbacks of other characters, leading to some very interesting storytelling.

Halo: Reach
I know what this is already, an adaption of the book, "Halo: Fall of Reach". It's going to be a good game none the less, but I smell some franchise milking.

ABP
Home + Guns = Awesome

Bayonetta
Seeing that this is basically a DMC rip-off doesn’t matter to me because it going to be a rip-off done right. Mainly because DMC's creator is leading the project.

Final Fantasy XII
The demo footage that was shown during the press conference was amazing and defiantly tells me that there are really no graphical differences between this and the PS3 Version. Also, the trailer got me hyped up. It was said that Lighting was designed to be a female Cloud and it looks like we’re getting a female Sephiroth too.

Assassin's Creed 2
Everything that has been shown so far is great. From trailer to the demo, it's looking up to be something awesome. I'm just wondering what’s going on with Desmond now.

Project Natal

The big part of the Microsoft press conference was Project Natal. I can't really explain it, but If Steven Spielberg says it’s good, I'd listen to him

That's it for now, I'll have more to come soon.

Figma Meiya Mitsurugi



Whoa, she might end up being my first figma. No, it's not because of the skin-tight battle-suit (although that's not bad). Besides that the design is great, mainly because of her Katana. Anyways I don't think we've seen any good looking girls with katanas lately.

Meiya is coming out in July, Toodles

P.S. Meiya is from some series called "Muv-Luv". I heard it was some kind of dating game that spawned into a big franchise (as with Fate/Stay Night).

Arise, Dragonzord!

Yesterday I picked up an MIB Dragon Dagger for $15! Yay! I was so happy about it, decided to make this!

Black is Back! ... and so is Otoya

It's has recently been confirmed that Kamen Rider Black himself, Minami Kotaro otherwise known as Tetsuo Kurata is returning for the Decade Movie! Along with the rumors and scans with/about Shadowmoon, makes me think that Black is going to playing a bigger role than just "a cameo". I think a celebration is in order



Also in Decade News, Otoya Kurenai/Dark Kiva otherwise known as Kouhei Takeda is returning for a few episodes. Appearantly, he has something to do with how Decade gets Complete Form.



Decade just gets better and better, Toodles

I think I just died



Holy crap... This morning, Igadevil dropped some pictures of Kuuga's and Decade's New Forms, Rising Ultimate Form and Complete Form respectivly. Starting with Kuuga, this form is frigging awesome. It definatly deserves an SIC figure or something with metal in it. I love how they recycled some of Kuuga's concept drawings for this... Now from Kuuga, we go on to Decade.



Now Complete Form is very nice looking, but many have called it fugly. I don't see why, but I agree with them on one thing... why the heck does he have cards all over him! I just don't get it, but hey they said the same thing about Den-O's Climax Form. I very much perfer Decade's default form to this. Well, I'm gonna go hide in a cave till my SIC Zeronos and Deneb gets here.

The Power Rangers Answer your Questions



This is a cool little shot at Tokusatsu from Power Rangers RPM (but you already knew that). This makes me kinda want to watch Power Rangers again.

I Need New Pants


As the title says, my pants just exploded due to the awesomeness of this magazine scan for... the Decade Movie!(and it's not fake!) The movie appearantly has The Showa and Heisei Riders (Including ZO, J, Shin, and Diend) fighting it out against the evil Dai-Shocker. Now if they manage to get all (or most) of the orginal actors back, I'm gonna need a new wardrobe.

*Prays for an Movie badass as Forever Red*
