I’ve made no secret of my saliva-enducing anticipation for this one. Judging by the comments on my last post, neither have you.

Now courtesy of GoNintendo we have our first look at the game in moving pictures. /drool. The soundtrack alone is making me moist in my areas.

Now where have I seen this imagery before? Can’t… quite place it.

Unfortunately the video is too lo-rez to actually view Sam Roberts’ stats.

Happy Canada Day!

Microsoft Game Studios and Rare have announced a new Viva Pinata game for release on Sept, 30, 2009 and it’s gonna be jam packed with lots more pinatas!

The game will be introducing two new realms in the Pinata world: Desert and Arctic lands, which will have brand new pinata types for you to capture and bring to your garden.

The storyline will also include Professor Pester from the cartoon show as he and his gang of Ruffians will have wiped out Piñata Central’s computer records. You will have to rebuild the computer database and thwart Professor Pester’s evil plot by sending piñatas at full candiosity to parties all around the world.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some more pinata incest, porn and cannibalism.

This I would play.

…and it looks pretty generic. The soundtrack seems pretty dead on and I’m definitely going to want to give this one a run through for the story (Akroyd’s been trying to get Ghostbusters 3 made for years, so he obviously has a story he wants to get off his chest) — but the gameplay? Looks disappointingly run-of-the-mill to me. Then again, anything with Bill Murray is worth whatever time it asks of you.

Full disclosure: I own Gran Turismo 5: Prologue and have enjoyed it, for the racing sim that it is. And how it is shown here is not exactly a totally honest portrayal.

Having said that: YouTube user JudgeRice put this little clip together, and you gotta admit, he’s got a point. I laughed.

At SCEE Playstation Day in London, EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) released a new trailer for their upcoming game, Mirror’s Edge. EA is apparently claiming the trailer is showing real game play footage and if that’s true, well colour me impressed.

Mirror’s Edge follows the story of a runner, who is lucky enough to be graced with awesome name of Faith and works as a delivery girl who delivers important information in an alternative reality future that has become ultra paranoid about using electronic communications. She becomes a target of mysterious government forces when the information she carries becomes too important for her to deliver to its intended party.

Of course, Faith isn’t some damsel in distress as she’s able to kick some butt and take some names with some killer Matrix style moves. DICE also opted to not have Faith use guns in the game, but her enemies do, so gamers will have to choose between fight or flight tactics when faced with the oncoming projectiles.

The trailer sports a moment where Faith is balancing on a pipe as she makes her way across it and I’m thinking the developers might use moments like this to use the SIXAXIS controls for the PS3 version, much like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune did. God, I hope not.

No release date has been announced for the game yet, but the game will be available on PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows when it does hit the market.
