Kinect-exclusive cartoony scrapper Kung Fu Panda 2 lands its first blow on Xbox 360 today, launching across North America.
One big party
We're under two weeks away from Sony's E3 press conference now, and those expecting a short in-and-out affair might be surprised that the event is set to last five hours.
You've heard the Mario theme played on a Chipophone. A Japanese beatbox version? Heard that too. But a dude creating the whole Mario theme tune experience on his own, with drums, sound effects and more? That's new.
Might not be quite as pretty though
The PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter is an awesome-looking piece of kit, with stacks of buttons, sliders, stocks and triggers, but it's also a pretty costly $40/£40. There must be a cheaper alternative, right?
So CV says
According to a pair of CVs posted on LinkedIn, Zombie Studios is in the process of creating a new title for Kinect.
It was beneath the bookcase
Wii find 'em adventure Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident (formerly known as Mystery Case Files: Dust to Dust) is out in a month, but you can gear yourself up for the hidden object action with the game's opening video.
NGP or PSP support rumoured
If you've got a PSP 3000 or PSP Go you can already use your DualShock controller to control the games, but for games where you need to get a bit more physical, this newly unearthed patent might interest you.
Cross your fingers
PlayStation Network services have been online for a little while now, but the PlayStation Store is still missing in action. It might not be gone for much longer though, as rumours point to restoration later today.
Motion gaming in your hand
NGP already contains some pretty impressive motion-sensing technology, but a new Sony patent suggests the new portable could receive PlayStation Move support in future.
Event invite drops hints
Last year we caught the briefest of glimpses of Kinect Star Wars, but this year it looks likely we'll see much more of the upcoming sensor lightsaber fest, as it features heavily on Microsoft's E3 2011 invite.
