There’s a trailer of the customisation aspects of Forza 3 after the break, and very cool it looks too.

We’re still looking for a movie of the E3 press conference demo from yesterday, which was apparently amazing.

We’ll let you know when we get one. It’s out in October.

Below is the Lips Number One Hits trailer. The kidz playing it are too cool for school: esoteric hair, bright mish-mash colours being passed off as “funky” coupled with needless hair and body accessories; you know the type.

If that’s you, then you’ll love this.

Bit info-light this one, but according to IGN Ubisoft and Q Entertainment’s Tetsuya ‘Rez’ Mizuguchi will be partnering on a brand new project new project.

This was announced during Ubi’s E3 press conference last night.

Mizuguchi will be project lead on which is currently called codename Eden.

Eden promises to provide “new sensory experiences,” apparently.

No more details were given.

Yep, it’s called Milo and Kate. And it is a game. Peter Molyneux’ Project Natal title, announced yesterday in the Microsoft E3 conference, features a 10 year-old virtual boy and a dog. On a screen. That you talk to.

Kotaku’s posted some impressions of it here, and Eurogamer’s just gone live with an interview with Molyneux in which the developer confirms this is what used to be called Project Dmitri. So now you know.

Go for a read. Please.

Update – Here’s Joystiq’s take on it.

It’s E3, which means we bombard you will loads of stories about new screenshots, and Ubisoft’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is no different.

IGN has the images. It’s from the PS3 version.

The game is a PSN/XBLA release and should be here next month.

IGN‘s your place for these. They’re looking decent, actually. Not too shabby at all, in fact.

Game hits this “holiday season,” apparently.

Read all about it here.

IGN has them and they’re looking schweet.

Earth is where 100 percent of all fighting should take place, if you ask us.

Game’s out September 22nd.

Hit the link for them images.

UK asset site Gamespress has listed Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as a 2010 release for PSP overnight. This is almost certainly not bollocks.

The resource service also has Metal Gear Solid: Rising down for PC and PS3 as well as Xbox 360 until this morning, but this listing’s now been changed to 360-only.

Rising was announced in the Microsoft press conference yesterday.

Thanks, EG.

IGN‘s snapped some pictures of Nintendo’s E3 stage and there’s a huge curtain covering a rather large banner running across and above the stage.

Wii Fit Plus or a new Mario? We’ll know later.

We positively cannot wait.

You must watch this. It’s Peter Molyneux’s Milo project for Natal, the Xbox 360 camera announced in the Microsoft press conference yesterday.

You’d probably already seen it, but still. Bonkers.

That’s right, no frills, no pretensions, just guns, Nazi’s and erm, an unknown alien evil threatening to wipe us all out.

It’s after the break. It’s coming August 4. We want it.

Now go watch it.

Milestone: Alexey Pajitnov’s block building puzzler has sold one hundred and twenty five million copies in the last 25 years, reports Venturebeat.

Through the link is an interesting article about the man himself, the game’s development from as early as 1984 and everything else that surrounds the phenomenon.

Congrats Alexey. You’re a winner.

Microsoft’s released a movie of Joy Ride, the free-to-download Xbox Live Avatard racer announced in yesterday’s E3 press conference.

Looks fun. You can “drive your Avatar wild,” apparently. Fancy.

Take a look. It’s out this winter.

Rachel returns in Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 donning extremely tight, top-light leather and wielding a hammer a little bit smaller than a house.

It’s raining, there are are rabbid man-wolves, Rachel’s sexy.

Now watch it.

There’s a glowing preview of Kaos Studio’s Homefront over at Eurogamer that we thought we’d bring to your attention.

Here’s a snip:

We haven’t swung the high-concept bat around here for a while, so how about this: Half-Life 2 meets Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Valve’s love of first-person storytelling, high-end graphics and mysterious military occupation, and Ubisoft’s love of near-future weaponry, remote-control UAVs and current-day politics stretched to a fictional extreme. Kaos Studios’ Homefront will have to go an enormous way to live up to that billing – and the developers aren’t so immodest as to refer to either chart-topper when I visit – but the parallels are all there on the surface.

Interested? Full think through the link.

After the break. The James Cameron movie tie-in featurs aliens and humans mixing, apparently. Sounds unpleasant.

Cameron took up a good chunk of the Ubi conference last night. More on that here.

It’s out for all formats later this year.

Hollywood director James Cameron told the crowd at Ubisoft’s E3 conference yesterday that he felt the company was the best choice of creative partner for Avatar.

“Technically, we have a lot in common with Ubisoft and the game world,” said Cameron.

“We utilized highly sophisticated technologies in creating Avatar so, when it came to choosing a game company, I wanted a partner that would not only be inspired creatively by the world of Avatar but would have the capacity to keep up with the challenging demands of its technological needs. Ubisoft was that company.”

The game ships this December for high def consoles, PC, Wii and handhelds.

Full press release after the break.

It’s after the break.

Now here’s an offer you can’t refuse: how would you like to sit down and gorge on burgers, fries and gallons of Coke with Xbox Live’s Major Nelson? Ok, but you can anyway.

He’ll be at the In-N-Out burger joint, 7009 Sunset Boulevard on Wednesday at 7pm local time.

Seriously, it’s the chance of a lifetime.
