E3 is right around the corner, and Destructoid has been hearing all sorts of juicy rumors. A lot of things are being said, and among them a very reliable source has informed us that Valve and Electronic Arts are looking to reveal Left 4 Dead 2 at E3 next week.

L4D 2 will see four different survivors battling the infected horde as they try to survive the game's four scenarios. The game is said to be set during the same time frame and locations as the first title, but the four new survivors will be fighting off the infected in other parts of the same locations. To us, it sounds a bit like Ada sidequests from Resident Evil 4 -- while Leon was going through his mission, Ada was running around the same areas, doing her own thing.

We're also told to expect new guns, as well as a variety of melee weapons like a baseball bat, axe, and chainsaw. Players should also brace themselves to come face to face with at least one new special infected "boss" character... something big. And fast.

If what we're hearing is solid, Left 4 Dead 2 is planned for the PC and Xbox 360.

I totally don't believe it.. all the hints your dropping aside! It just doesn't make sense. A new add-on for L4D, an expansion, additional content... SURE! A sequel though? From Valve... announced less than a year out? Has hell frozen over?

There is no way people will fall for a sequel, dont get me wrong the game is great (im just back from the gym and about to fire it up), but it is hugely devoid of content.
They need to vastly expand the content in the first game before they thing about trying to rip us off for another 4 scenarios.

If it is just an addon at hugely reduced cost (£10 or so) then sure, i would bite, but not full retail for essentially a copycat of the first game.

Definitely agree with Grift. A full fledged sequel just doesn't make sense(apart from a milking perspective). Colour me confused. Deft how certain are you?

It's not a bad line-up, surely. Most interested in Brutal Legend and Dante's Inferno personally.. and cautiously interested in NFS and Bad Company. I would love to see some real shockers from DICE at the show. BF3? Nah.. that's not possible, right?

[Rumor] Sony has a "Megaton Announcement" for E3, says 1UP!

Sony has been quite the leaky ship, to say the least. Nevertheless, it's managed to keep what our source calls a "MEGATON ANNOUNCEMENT" (yes, they used all caps) under wraps to this point, something that's apparently so big that Sony personnel have been "agog" since hearing about it.

We've done our best to get more details, but all we've gotten is a, "Let's just say that Sony has been such a leaky ship that the fact that they've managed to keep this hidden blows my mind," type of response.

Sounds juicy. Our source remains tight-lipped, but we're guessing that this "megaton" will be making its debut at E3. We'll kick off speculation with, "Final Fantasy VII remake confirmed," and let you go from there.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174397

Follow the link for the full article, which contains all manners of speculation pertaining to E3

The possibility of a FF VII remake is pretty doubtful, considering how Squenix has its hands full with FF XIII and Versus....on the other hand, I can't think of any other announcement that can actually be termed as a "MEGATON"

Also, we've been hearing of these "OMG secret PS3 game" rumors for quite some time....whatever it is, we'll find out soon enough, provided Sony actually HAS something of this caliber up its sleeve

Till then, let your own speculations run wild

All this speculation is pointless, we had it last year about nintendo and all they turned up with was wii music.

MS still had the killer and it was totally unexpected when it happened, we'll see what next week brings, its sure to blow our socks off. MS, has been keeping mum for a very long time, sony hasn't moved in ages either, and ninty have had 2 pathetic attempts at an E3 in a row, surely they wont go for a third.

Say what? FPS, RTS, WestRPG ALL play best on the pc. and theres more than just that, plus the best multiplayer, the most features to the games etc etc etc.
For some reason ppl think pc gaming is expensive, which is false, since a pc you dont just use it for games...

Hulu is coming to Xbox 360 - presumably exclusively. Announcement as early as E3. Interesting if true. Between this, torrents and Netflix on 360, no longer a need for cable/satellite TV sub. Live sports would be about the only thing left, and since I could care less about those, I'm all set.

However with the SkyTV announcement in the UK, one wonders if something similar is also in the works for North America - perhaps a net simulcast agreement with the major sports leagues (MLB, NFL, NCAA, PGA, NBA, NHL, Nascar, etc.) to Video Marketplace. Should that happen, then cable/satellite TV would even be something unnecessary for even sports fans.

Mini-Ninjas

Gameplay

I absolutely love the voice of Hiro when he starts casting ninpo spells, makes it cute and funny. It actually reminds me of Naruto or Ninja Gaiden DS were they chant a ancient language before a ninpo is made, I love stuff like that (which I assume NGS2 will have if Ayane's ninpo is any hint, I would love it if Ayane, Momiji and Ryu did that).
This guys model also reminds me of a episode of Simpsons when Bart dressed up as a ninja in black :P

I won't buy Mini-Ninjas, but it sure looks fun for the younger gamers who are into ninjas.

Now that would be something worth looking forward to, unlike pretty much every other new services they've come up with thus far......at least from my point of view.
