More crappy casual non-game by Ubisoft/EA for Wii. HARDLY surprising.

Although one of them probably have a chance of making it big and could be the next Brain Age or whatever. Being on GAF, you never really know seem they all look the same.

Table Tennis Wii looks cool though.

the Wii controls in Table Tennis look particularly slow. The gamer waggles, the character delays. Never really noticed it too much in other games, but I could in this.

It started. Welcoming words from Kunio Neo, President of Konami Digital Entertainment.
"We are planning to expand more in Europe." Big brands for Europe are of course games like PES 2008 and MGS4.

Two new Yu-Gi-Oh games : Yu-Gi-Oh GX Tag Force 2 (PSP) and Yu-Gi-Oh GX Card Almanac (DS). Yu-Gi-Oh Online was very successful in Germany, more than 14 Million duels were played in this country alone.

PES2008 on the stage.

BBC ran this a short while ago. Nothing really revealed in there, but some echos of previous reports and rumours.

Sony is primed to make key announcements for its PlayStation 3 and PSP consoles on the eve of the Leipzig games conference, in Germany.

The Japanese giant is expected to announce a tuner for the PlayStation 3 that will allow the recording and playback of digital TV.

It will also give more details of a video download service for the PSP handheld, developed with Sky in the UK.

Nintendo and Microsoft will push titles like Super Mario Galaxy and Halo 3.

Games on display at the show will include Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Crysis, Warhammer Online and the new expansion pack for World of Warcraft, The Lich King.

Multimedia functionality

Sony is also expected to give more details of a video chat and instant messaging system for the PSP, developed in conjunction with BT in the UK.

PES 2008 will have a new feature called Team Vision, which is basically learning AI.

PES 2008 for Wii as well. Early 2008.

Castlevania to mobiles. (probably a port of the original or something)

And Silent Hill too. Some sort of point&click adventure, featuring a new storyline. Sure must be scary, Silent Hill on a cellphone...

I never really understand those statements. Would they honestly ever say something like "Well, yeah, this version is pretty good, but you should really try the 2005 edition. That one was way better."
