PS2/PSP Preview - 'Jak X: Combat Racing' and 'Daxter'

Release Date: Spring 2005
The new Jak and Daxter game is a racer? Yes, this appears to be the case. While limited scenarios for Jak X were on display on the show floor, we were able to go behind closed doors into a meeting that showcased some of the special, still-developing features of this title. Developers from both Naughty Dog and Readybydawn were on hand, and answered a lot of questions about how the games were made, how
PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Destroy All Humans!'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005

Publisher: THQ
Developer: Pandemic Studios
Release Date: June 17, 2005
Destroy All Humans! is a game that lets you kill people with psychokinetically thrown chickens.
In a perfect world, that would be all you need to hear. I wouldn't have to mention the ability to hypnotize cows into dancing the Funky Chicken, the weird retro-'50s ambiance that makes posters for "The Friendly Atom: It's Working for YOU!" seem a natural fit to the world, the ability to cloak yourself as public officials and make speeches decrying communism, denying alien invasion and blaming mutant radioactive zombie cows for the
NGC/PS2/Xbox/PC Preview - 'Ultimate Spider-Man'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005

Genre: 3D Action/Adventure
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Treyarch
Release Date: TBA
Ultimate Spider-Man, at its core, is a re-telling of the classic Spider-Man story with a slightly younger cast and a contemporary spin.
You all know the gist of it by now: a nerdy kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider, gets super powers, and uses both them and his mind to solve crimes while at the same time possessing the ability to upstage just about everyone on Def Comedy Jam without even trying. The Ultimate line of comic books puts the Spidey stories in the here and now, with today’s
PS2/Xbox/PC Preview - 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005
Genre: Action
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Seven Studios
Release Date: Q3 2006
In case you missed the memo the first time around, here’s another copy of it:
Pirates Are Cool.
Heck, just go ask Guilty Gear X’s Johnny, or the entire cast of Skies of Arcadia. Pirates are always fun to play as in video games. There’s just something about being able to break all the rules, play dirty, and fight as underhanded as one possibly can whenever one feels like it that translates wonderfully to the genre.
Few pirates are better at all of this than one Jack Sparrow, and he’s going to
PS2/Xbox Preview - 'Castlevania: Curse of Darkness'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2005

Genre: Action/RPG
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami
Release Date: Fall 2005
If nothing else, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness answers one question I’ve had for a while about the Castlevania series. Simply put, it’s this: when you leave and come back into a room in a Castlevania game, where does the fresh wave of monsters come from? Is there a hidden wing of Dracula’s castle that’s entirely dedicated to the care, feeding, construction, and breeding of new monsters to replace the ones you’ve been hacking to bits?
Apparently, there is, and it’s staffed by people like Hector. As a Devil Forgemaster, Hector
