Unfortunately, I haven't had much of an opportunity to familiarize myself with the animated series "Afro Samurai". After a little bit of investigation I learned that the lead character on the show is voiced by none other than Samuel L. Jackson and, according to Wikipedia, each episode costs an estimated One Million Dollars to create. I don't know what you think but that's a lot of coin to spend on a show that not many people know about. I must be in the minority because it appears this series is popular enough to warrant a new video game being made of it. After watching the trailer to this new game it appears that they spared no expense when it came to this incarnation of the show, and thats a good sign.

I admit never playing the almighty Prince of Persia series "Hey give me a break there's 12 of them" (2 in development). So I can't talk personally from experience regarding series but if I remember correctly when the discussion arose people gave it nothing but astounding reviews. Especially The Sands of Time series which included three games - The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones. Well Ubisoft is back at it again, and this time giving Prince of Persia a whole new look to the series and judging from the video your about to see it looks amazing.

E3 is an amazing time for gamers as every minute of every day theirs something new being released and well, I'm proud to say I have another one for you. Have any of you heard of of the game "InFamous"?, I know I hadn't until today but I admit after watching the trailer this game has some promise. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment America it looks to be hitting store shelves sometime in 2009 for the Playstation 3. Check out the trailer and press release below.

Well unless someone has you locked in a closet or if it's just you haven't had a chance to check out the internet much these days. You might not have known that Microsoft on Monday showed off it's brand new interface for the Xbox 360. It's ok if you missed it because Gametrailers just released a great walkthough giving you all of the details you need to know. The video is hosted by Xbox Lives chief of staff Steve Willett. Let us know what you think of the new dashboard...The video after the jump.

Let's go back to 2005 if we may, during the E3 trade show in 2005 the video game Killzone 2 was announced. Sony decided for the announcement what better way to show of the game then unleashed a trailer. Well this trailer ended up creating a major stir in the market place. Critics and gamers alike argued that the trailer was nothing but a pre-rendered video and didn't show off an ounce of actual gameplay footage. Hell, I'll be the first to admit I was in the same camp as everything else. The level of visual detail was just unheard of and seemed almost impossible to do in real time. Well if you have listened to the latest Down in Front radio show #36, Josh and myself talk about this in-game video and it's nothing but mind blowing experience... Enjoy...
