Not that it is much better.

It's just what I needed though.

They have also announced a new Destruction Derby - for mobile phones.

The PlayStation 3 version of SingStar is about to get a massive boost in track department, as Sony has announced that a future firmware update will allow for the ripping and playing of SingStar tracks from PlayStation 2 versions of the game. SCEE president David Reeves didn't go into too many detals on the 'how' and 'when,' but we have a feeling the 'why' is that they want the many SingStar devotees in Europe to graduate to the PlayStation 3 sequel to SingStar.

So is that for 60gb owners only?

I wish mobile gaming was dead, it's absolutely rubbish. Not that I'm hungry for a Destruction Derby game (Burnout & Motorstorm are here) even though I loved 2.

Something Fishy

Nothing much for this year, all about the future again?

Mind you, after LBP and the Rare games this year I can't think I'd need much else.

That's cruel. They knew I wanted a new DD game. KNEW. And what do they do? Release it on the poxy phone.

DD has kind of been owned by Burnout though. They probably don't think they can contend with the Burnout brand now. Although actual DD/arenas would be great from either franchise.

I want to know what the hell has happened to Broken Sword from Ubisoft. I mean, what are they waiting for?

Anyone else feel Leipzig has been more exciting than E3, okay so some of the hardware announcements are hardly exciting, but at least they are announcements!

I am also looking for more impressions of pes 2009 and fifa 09!

Does anyone know which day Microsoft will be showing off their behind closed doors demos and stuff?

Whilst i agree, the i-Phone (i-pod touch) could bring in a new era of mobile phone games. Its a solidified open source platform. All i-phones/touches are the same meaning game Dev's should find bring relatively decent software for it out little hassle. Should have a decent home brew, bedroom coder following also, indeed checking the APP store on my touch reveals most for the decent apps are made by lone individuals and not the big corporate games companies.

No, it has nothing to do with BC, you'll just rip the game-data not play the game itself.

Pretty cool.

That is a pretty cool feature. I was hoping this was hinting at some BC revival update.
