Guitar Hero III Good News and Bad News
Posted by inpheaux on May 30th, 2007 at 11:49 pmUpdate: 31 MAY 2007 @ 19:46:55

Smash Bros. Dojo website launches
Posted by inpheaux on May 22nd, 2007 at 3:00 amFor the past month or so, Nintendo has had a teaser page up at SmashBros.com, telling us amazing new things would be coming. It's up finally, but it's just a bit underwhelming compared to the nuclear strike launched by Blizzard over the weekend.

Nintendo announces their Summer Lineup
Posted by inpheaux on May 21st, 2007 at 1:00 pmNintendo has been rather tight-lipped about when things are being released lately, and on a normal year I'd say they were holding stuff back for E3 but . . that isn't an incredibly applicable excuse these days. Looks like they were just holding back for their Late-May Press Day, which is actually two days, and [...]

Blizzard dusts off the old Hype Machine, announcement next weekend
Posted by inpheaux on May 13th, 2007 at 1:07 pmA couple weeks ago, Team Liquid translated a Korean article claiming that Blizzard would be announcing a new game at the World Wide Invitational tournament in Korea on May 19th.
