Oh look, screens of Fable 2.

Man, I'm sick of the sight of that bloody town square now...

Yak will like one of the Corporeal attacks; Horny!

I think Ace Combat 6 is rather good, even though I'm not that into flying games. I wasn't 100% sure if there was an actual mission in the demo, as I shot loads of planes and helicopters down and still got 'mission failed' at the end, and no indication of why. Still, missile fun for 30 mins.

I don't know much about JRPGs but I gave Blue Dragon a quick go too. Somewhat confusing to me with menus and numbers everywhere. I tried to explore but it kept stopping every 5 seconds to start a turn-based fight. I'd rather just hack away in real-time, so I think this isn't for me. Graphically the lighting style reminded me of Lego Star Wars 2 though, which was nice.

But Horny is not allowed. I was specifically told that I could not have the Super Horny Bull achievement in Space Giraffe.

I think PVB meant 'Horny' as in his description of the large bull that accompanies the Corporeal attack.

We approve of large bulls.

Ohh looking lovely

Missed the MS press conference, but are we to assume Fable 2 this year given all the rest of the stuff they've shown was "out in 2007"? If so it's going to be an expensive time for 360 video games what with Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass effect, GTA 4, Army of Two, Battlefield Bad Company, Blue Dragon (possibly) and no doubt plenty of others I've forgotten

Cheers

New single player Halo 3 shots. Seems to be shaping up very nicely indeed, certainly looks way better than the multiplayer beta did. Not that the graphics will be terribly important, fingers crossed that Bungie have got the campaign pretty much spot on this time.

Hello friendly Arbiter

Fable 2 isn't out this year, which is why we weren't a part of the press conference.

I finally sat down and watched the Lionhead Diary thingy last night and Fable 2 really does look nice - looking forward to that now, although I realise we've got a while to wait.

I also managed to get a few demos and other bits down last night. Ace Combat is, erm, well, ace - really enjoyed that so I suspect i'll pick that up when it comes out. Not had a chance to play Blue Dragon yet but I watched some of the trailers for various games and I really really think I need to start saving some cash up. There's a huge amount of decent titles coming out for the 360 between now and Christmas.

Downloaded the Ace Combat 6 and Blue Dragon demos. Not had a chance to play either yet, but probably will have a bash tonight. I did have a go on Golden Axe, though....hm. Not quite as cool as I remember
