Nintendo's 3DS

Now here's something you gamers might find interesting: Nintendo's newest handheld will come with 3D capabilities. And you won't even need any glasses! Check out this preview from E3 for some more info:

This new handheld will also have a 'background connectivity system', which can automatically seek and connect to wireless networks sending and downloading information in the background while in sleep mode or while playing a game. This connectivity system will also allow fellow 3DS owners to exchange and share content automatically in a 'Tag Mode' - similar to having a Pokewalker without having to wip it out each time you find someone else who has one.

Some of the games currently listed for release on the 3DS are:

Animal Crossing

Assasin's Creed: Lost Legacy

Kingdom Hearts 3D

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Paper Mario 3DS

Star Fox 64 3D

and many more. Just check out the 3DS page on Wiki.

Being an avid handheld gamer myself, the entire idea of this console is mind blowing. This is the future, people! Sony and Microsoft are going to have to bring their A-game if they want catch up to Nintendo at this season.

I don't know about you guys, but you'll proabaly find me lining up for the midnight release of this thing - and I don't do that unless I really want it.

Cheers,

Jess

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I'm a fan of the Assassin's Creed game franchise, so I was quite excited to see the new trailer for the next game, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, released at the E3 conference the past week.
For those of you who are interested, here's the above-mentioned trailer.



The game is a direct-sequel to Assassin's Creed II and its story will take place shortly after the ending of the previous game, with Ezio returning as the main protagonist. It's the first game in the series to feature multiplayer mode. The game is set to be released on 16 November 2010.
