Does GameTrailers know something we don't?


I was on GameTrailers and came across a photo of Mass Effect with a PLayStation 3 logo on it. Does this mean something, it would be rather odd to say this is a mistake because the photo would have to be edited. Here is the photo

Boss Level writes:
I'm sure we all know that Bioware is very consistant with their Mass Effect DLC...
But XBox.com assures us that they will be releasing DLC in some form or another for Mass Effect 2.

Rumor: Halo 3: ODST Trailer Confirms Halo: Reach is a Prequel

11 days ago at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009, Bungie Studios showed off their most recent product; Halo 3: ODST and announced Halo: Reach. Since then many h gamers have been analyzing the Halo: Reach teaser trailer and many have found certain clues that hint that the game will be a prequel to other games in the series. Some of those clues are things like the fact that some beleive it will follow the storyline of a novel based in the "Halo" universe titled "Halo: Fall of Reach". Some other people have speculated that it is a prequel due to the fact that an unidentified voice says "Spartans on the ground" notice that the mysterious figure said "Spartans" in a plural sense. Why does it matter that she was referring to multiple Spartans? Well becuase at the beggining of "Halo: Combat Evolved" Master Cheif was the last known living Spartan. Those things are not what I am here to talk about though. I am here to talk about a new theory of why Halo: Reach will be a prequel, thats reason is becuase if you watch the E3 stage demo of Halo 3: ODST(viewable here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSrOkk7jRbk&NR=1 ) than you can see about 35 seconds in it says "Remember Reach" written on a wall.
Since Halo 3: ODST takes place before Halo 3 and it is very hard or impossible last I checked to remember something thats hasn't happened yet.

Xbox 360 to soon become a "Virtual Console"

After Microsoft's E3 announcements about "Project Natal" and "Games on Demand" it would seem as though soon your Xbox 360 will become a "Virtual Console", no it won't be able to play N64 and Genesis games, that's the other virtual console. But it will let you play your games with nothing but the system itself. How? I'll tell you how, once both of these features launch you will be able to use the voice command function of "Natal" to download a game compatible with "Natal", meaning you can play Xbox 360 titles of the future without a controller and without a boxed, physical, retail disc. This is a huge landmark in gaming and in technology in general. We will just have to wait and see.

Zune HD to play Xbox 360 games, To be shown at E3

There have been rumors of a Zune HD for awhile now. There have also been rumors of a Zune being able to play Xbox Live Arcade titles for quite some time now. What if i told you both of those are true? "Impossible" you say? It might not be as far fetched as you think. There are new rumors emerging of a possible Zune HD that not only plays your Arcade titles but may let you install retail games to the Zune as well. How would this work? Let me show you through my magical skills at Paint.


The bottom of the Zune would connect to the Xbox 360 controller with a "Connector/Holder" peripheral. Microsoft is also rumored to incorporate an NXE-ish interface. Now the retail games that you would install to your Zune HD(which may only be available in 80 Gb and 120 Gb models) would play your games in the same quality as on your Television set if not better due to the HD function. If they could also incorporate a Hot Spot service similar to the iPhone/iPod Touch than it would be compatible with LIVE. More clues indicating truth behind this rumor is Microsoft recently promised Zune owners that June would be a big month for them. Also one last feature that is rumored is since all 360 titles are compatible with Custom Soundtracks you may be able to import your Zune music library in the same fashion. Another story awhile back mentioned Microsoft hiring for a "Mobile Halo Team." E3 is only 16 days away, until then I'll leave the speculating up to you.

APB dev, Realtime Worlds, teases showing at E3

Realtime worlds has been rumored to be making a Microsoft E3 appearance for a long time coming now, it now seems that those speculations might just be true. Eurogamer seems to have asked Realtime Worlds if they are making it to the Expo in June and Colin MacDonald had this to say,"if we happened to be going, I'm sure we would make it known before too much longer, and we'd certainly give Eurogamer a shout to try to meet up." Well there you have it, you developers love to tease us don't you? I'm surprised this news wasn't though Twitter. If you are unfamiliar with Realtime Worlds' "APB" it is a cops 'n' robbers MMO, quite an interesting premise if you ask me. We will just have to wait for an E3 showing from Realtime to see if the idea can be pulled off.
