360 Spring Showcase Highlights

Here we'll just give you some video links and news about some of the 360's upcoming titles.


Gears of War 2 Interview: 

It's a great little interview with Cliff Bleszinkski on some of the new additions to Gears of War 2. Some we've been expecting and some new. What really stands out is the scale of this game, So go take a look.

Bango & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts:

It's been a long time since we'd had any news on the third Bango & Kazooie title but at the Spring Showcase we finally got some footage. What I love about it is the rich color palette and simple yet effective style, making it easy on the eyes. There's been a shortage of family friendly titles for the 360 so here's hoping that drought ends.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise:

The sequel to the hit title Viva Pinata will build upon what made the original so lovable. The title will include some new features like controlling the weather, local cooperative play, and the use of the Vision Camera. The camera will be used to scan in barcodes found on cards which will place that pinata onto your land. I was very skeptical when the first game came out but it grew on me. Once again a rare family friendly 360 title so it should be a great addition to the collection.

Ninja Gaiden 2:

Not a lot o news came out except for showing us more screenshots of severed limbs and gameplay of beating the crap out of monsters. By now you know if your a fan of the series or not I'm sure. The game is to be released exclusively on the 360, June 3rd.

Too Human: 

Release date set to August 19th in the US and everywhere else shortly after. I have to say I have almost no interest in this title but hey we'll see if it works out come August.
