With the E3 Expo just around the corner and hype starting to build, Microsoft has tapped the early excitement for the event by announcing that it will broadcast high-def E3 coverage to Xbox 360 owners via Xbox Live. “E3: Bringing It Home” will offer video updates, game trailers, themes, gamer pictures, and even demos. The list of games Microsoft will cover includes:

  • "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation" (NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.)
  • "Assassin’s Creed" (Ubisoft)
  • "BioShock" (2K)
  • "Blue Dragon" (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • "Burnout Paradise" (Electronic Arts Inc.)
  • "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" (Activision)
  • "FIFA Soccer 08" (Electronic Arts)
  • "Guitar Hero III" (Activision/RedOctane)
  • "Lost Odyssey" (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • "Madden NFL 08" (Electronic Arts)
  • "NCAA Football 08" (Electronic Arts)
  • "Need for Speed: ProStreet" (Electronic Arts)
  • "Project Gotham Racing 4" (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • "The Simpsons Game" (Electronic Arts)
  • "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08" (Electronic Arts)
  • "WWE SmackDown® vs. Raw 2008" (THQ)

You’ll have to tune elsewhere for titles that aren’t going to show up on a Microsoft system at some point, though. And PC gamers – you’re out of luck. The best you can do is check Microsoft’s Xbox Live calendar to see what your console brethren are watching… or check one of the thousands of other Web sites that will offer E3 coverage.

Modern Warfare 4 brings Call of Duty back to its glory days. I hope the streak lives.
Infinity Ward’s latest campaign goes back to Call of Duty’s roots and recaptures what made me a fan more than a decade ago.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
