Straight from The Behemoth’s blog, we can expect to see it soon (at Microsofts’ discretion, I’m going to gander the release will be around the 27th - one year since the initial release).

Hit the jump for more details, the posted image is the new content.

We’re simply waiting on more Pro models to be phased out.   At work today I took a look at the new box for XB360 Elites, it DID NOT include the Pro model on the side table any longer nor did we get shipped any additional XB360 Pros (Also, the Elite will no longer come with HDMI cables…just AV).

#1 - The Triforce

(From The Legend of Zelda series, this legendary item grants wishes to
those who touch it)

This is my easy everything in one item….seeing as it grants wishes - I just can’t conceive of what exactly I’d wish for at this point.   Obviously though, having wishes granted is top notch.

#2 - Portal Gun

(As seen in Portal - creates two portals, an entrance and an exit)

If only trailers could always be of the caliber portrayed on Bioware’s Dragon Age site.   As they have produced a spoof trailer which essentially features live-action-roleplaying.   While the game in its’ own right is extremely promising the spoof trailer linked after the jump is worth at least a watch as it’s the sort of thing that’s ‘awful’ enough that much humor can be found.  Hit the jump for the rest of the article and follow the link to check it out especially if you have ever enjoyed watching ‘C’ movies or otherwise.

We may be poor college students/unemployed college graduates and thus unable to go to E3, but through the magic of the internet we can see the big press conferences IN REAL TIME! Thus, like every other gaming site on the internet, we will be live-blogging the big press conferences. Why watch our liveblog instead of a so-called “professional” site’s? Because we’ve got Nate Gamer, dammit.

Here’s our liveblog schedule:

Monday, June 1st:
Microsoft’s Press Conference: 10:30 am PST (1:30 PM EST)
EA’s Press Conference: 2 pm PST (5 pm EST)

Tuesday, June 2nd:
Nintendo’s press conference: 9 am PST (12 pm EST)
Sony’s Press Conference: 11 am PST (2 pm EST)

I’m a glutton for RPGs. Also, I have a decidedly unhealthy habit of gaming in chunks of approximately 8-10 hours at a time. Having heard of the time suck that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion presented, I opted not to hop on board at the 2006 release for the sake of my social life and my GPA. This year, I said “Fuck it.” Despite my arrival three years late, Oblivion is among the best games I’ve ever gotten my RPG whorish hands on, both within the genre and in general. So if you also passed up Oblivion, or even if you have played and have let it collect dust on your shelf lately, here’s why you should consider putting your social and academic life on hold for a while.
