Super Bike announced

While no where near as catchy a name as Excitebike, Super Bike seems to have a noticeable bumb in the graphics department. It'll be released on plenty of gaming consoles and handhelds, though Nintendo fans, well, they'll be stuck playing NitroBike (which looks more intense and fun in my opinion, maybe because it's being made by the peeps behind Excitebike 64!). The consoles/handhelds include Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, and PC, and will be available in May 2008...

Penny Arcade Adventures to be released in 2008

Blue Dragon ships...

Blue Dragon, while apparently not the greatest RPG for the 360 as everyone had hoped, is still a decent game with classic RPG mechanics. Well, Microsoft just announced that it's been shipped today (shouldn't have been shipped yesterday?), so if you've been looking forward to the super long game, then check it out!

FIFA Street 3 announced for PS3 and 360

Most of the Street titles are pretty decent - the NBA Street series was obviously the highlight and NFL was pretty fun too. However, the FIFA series is the one that stands out as the lowlight, and oddly EA is coming back to make a threequel for the PS3 and Xbox 360 (sorry Wii fans, no FIFA for you..., or atleast no FIFA Street for you). No real information was given via the small mention of it in a press release, though it has been confirmed to be in development by EA Canada.
