Bungie, no show at E3?

Well, if you visit the Bungie.net website, you’re confronted by a popup message, which reads:

“For the last several months, we’ve been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on. We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.

We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment.

When the right time comes, we look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.

Guitar Hero World Tour - More Details!

So, they have announced a few new things. Things which have been announced are:

• Previous Guitars will be compatible, although the functionality of some of the new guitars won’t be included. Like the tone changing buttons at the end of the guitar.
• The drum kit is touch sensitive, hit it hard, it sounds louder, hit it quiet, it sounds quiet. It also meant to be fully wireless and to be really robust.
• The microphone is wired, to reduce latency, and it is meant to be very robust as well, seems like the GH crew have designed their equpiment to last.
• The drums have inputs galore: two standard input ports on the back (so you can plug in two kick drums if you want), plus a MIDI input, so you can run your Groovebox or similar piece of kit through the game’s music studio software. Future-proof? Check.
• Travis Barker, the drummer from +44 (and former Blink 182 drummer) was an advisor in the design and feel of the drum kit. He will be a playable character in the game, as will Hayley Williams, the singer from Paramour.

Call of Duty: World at war:

Jack Bauer has lended his voice to the new CoD game. New additions to the gameplay included bazookas, flame tanks and flamethrowers, which offer massive destructive potential at the risk of equally massive danger to your character – it’s like walking around with a bomb strapped to your back.

The game will also feature a co-op mode, supporting four players online or two players locally via split screen. The co-op mode will keep track of each player’s individual statistics and scores, adding an element of competitiveness to the action.

CoD: World At War is due to hit the shores in November.
