NGC/PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Shadow the Hedgehog'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: 3D Action/Adventure
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Release Date: November 2005
The day Sega gave a hedgehog a Desert Eagle was the day the world went crazy.
Even if Shadow was a supposed “evil anti-hero” version of Sega’s mascot, giving him a gun, not to mention featuring pictures and videos of him displaying one prominently, was a move on the company’s part that’s been given many words. “Bold,” “gutsy,” “crazy,” “nuts” and “blasphemy” have been just a few of them.
A lot of people, a lot of Sonic fans, fear and loathe this game, and have already written this off

'Stargate SG-1: The Alliance' (PS2/Xbox/PC) - 3 New Screens

The game uses a heavily modified and graphically enhanced Unreal 2.5 engine, and fans of the series will immediately recognize certain areas from the TV show.
All of the classic multiplayer modes like Death Match, Capture the Flag, and team variations will be integrated, but there will also be more innovative modes which make use of the unique Stargate setting. The SG1 team is at the heart of Stargate SG1: the Alliance, so co-op is naturally one of the most exciting options available for the game.

NGC/PS2 Preview - 'Super Monkey Ball Adventure'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2006
Genre: Action/Adventure
Publisher: Sega
Developer: Traveler's Tales
Release: July 2006
)
The Monkey Ball franchise – which honestly, is one of the best ideas anyone ever had; it's monkeys in balls, for God's sake; it wins by default – is about to be taken in a new direction.
Traveler's Tales, the developers behind LEGO Star Wars and Crash Twinsanity, have been tapped for the newest Monkey Ball game. Before, this series has mostly revolved around multiplayer party gameplay; now, it's acquiring a "robust" single-player mode to go with it.
In the story mode, you control the four "named" monkeys

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance - E3 2005 Trailer (15mb)
Stargate SG-1: The Alliance will be an action-based game playable in the first- or third- person perspective. Depending on the mission, there will be other tasks that have elements of team tactics, puzzle-solving and stealth. First and foremost, you will never walk alone – your team will be there to look after you, but you will also have to look after them, so it differs from most "straight" shooters.

PS2 Preview - 'Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: Action RPG
Developer: Racjin
Publisher: Square-Enix
Release Date: July 2005
FMA2 was one of the only five games that Square-Enix was showing off at E3, along with Kingdom Hearts 2, Radiata Stories, Romancing SaGa, and Dragon Quest VIII. All of the titles looked impressive, but FMA2 won out as our choice for preview thanks to an in-depth preview session of the game with the producer, Tomoya Asano, alongside with publicity manager Koji Taguchi. One of the greatest parts of the E3 experience is getting shown a new game by the guys who've been working on it, and with
PS2 Preview - 'Guitar Hero II'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2006
Genre: Rhythm/Puzzle
Developer: Harmonix
Publisher: Red Octane
Release Date: November 28, 2006
Take one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rhythm-music games to ever enter the market. This is a game that lets you act like a virtual rock star, using an innovative controller that really makes you feel like you're on stage playing a guitar. It's got tons of songs that have universal appeal, and difficulty modes that challenge even expert guitar players, yet are still accessible to the complete newbie.
Take all of this guitar perfection… and now, pretend as if it were just practice
PSP/PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Justice League Heroes'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2006
Genre: Action/RPG
Publisher: Eidos/Warner Brothers
Developer: Snowblind
Release Date: Fall 2006
)
This is Snowblind’s last hurrah on the PS2 and Xbox, and they’re trying to go out with a bang. Justice League Heroes is a two-player beat-‘em-up running on the fifth version of Snowblind’s famous beat-‘em-up engine, allowing you to step into the shoes of the members of the Justice League of America.
The game’s more based upon the comics’ version of the Justice League than the cartoon’s; for example, the JLA’s Watchtower is a lunar station rather than a satellite. You’ll be able to play initially
PS2 Preview - 'The King of Fighters 2006'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2006
Genre: Fighting
Publisher: SNK-Playmore
Developer: SNK-Playmore
Release Date: Q3 2006
)
SNK's playing a sort of three-card monte game with their games' titles. The King of Fighters 2006 began its life as the sequel to last year's KOF: Maximum Impact, SNK's slightly underwhelming first entry into the 3D realm. In Japan, KOF2006 is, simply, Maximum Impact 2.
As such, KOF2006 features a slightly larger cast, with MI's boss Duke becoming playable, 14 hidden characters, and the 3D debut of KOF favorites Billy Kane and Kula Diamond.
What does this all mean to you, the casual player? A classic fighting
