Submitted By: mreeds

There are two graphs, one for absolute, and one for relative pricing.
One interesting point of note, is that the trend over time indicated that the higher priced consoles (even if technically superior) ALL FAILED!!!
Could this be an omen for the PS13...errr PS3??

Huxley Extended Trailer in High Definition
Submitted By: Lost Alley
17 May 2006 18:11 | Xbox 360
Huxley is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter, but an MMOFPS tag fails to describe what this next-gen game truly is. The proper way to describe Huxley is as a first-person shooter set in a persistent world, featuring role-playing elements.

During E3 Club Skill sat down with Guy Wilday, the studio director, from the new SEGA Driving Studio based in the UK (just round the corner from our very own Rob Rymond in Solihull), which is developing an all-new Sega Rally game for next-generation consoles and PC, called “Sega Rally Revo”.

Viva Pinata Preview
Submitted By: 360Monster
17 May 2006 17:47 | Xbox 360
If you put those two words in one sentence, you come up with Viva Piñata of all things. No, before you say it, I am not having a bad case of cheese dreams, but I get the feeling that maybe RARE are having a few. When people think about UK Developer RARE they think N64 and Goldeneye or maybe Banjo Kazooie but one thing people know about RARE is that they are not shy when it comes to making odd but strangely addictive games. Many are still waiting for that old-school genius to appear on the 360 and even though Perfect Dark: Zero was good, it was lacking that Rare flare. This is where their next project comes in: Viva Pinata...

Now you see UT2007, now you don't!
Submitted By: Swifty
16 May 2006 09:18 | Xbox 360
Today we were informed that Unreal Tournament 2007 has quite literally dissapeared from the Xbox website. It was there a few days ago, but it has recently been removed by the Microsoft admin team. Could this mean that the game will be a PS3 exclusive title, if that is the case then it will be a great shame as games like Unreal Tournament 2004 were brought to life using Xbox Live.
For now the game is still to be announced on the Xbox 360, we will keep you updated on what Epic have to say about the dissapearnce of UT2007.

Could this be the desktop behind the most anticipated Xbox 360 title. This is 'suposedly' the menu screen for Bungies Halo 3, granted everything seems to be there like the Campaign mode, Xbox Live and options, but could this be just one very skilled photoshop artists idea of a prank. If it is then kudos to the bloke as it would have taken quite a while to create something like that.
