If Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr keep meeting like this, we’re going to have to start rumors of a Beatles reunion. In Los Angeles for the video game industry’s E3 Expo, our roving reporter Seth Schiesel sent us this report from an event Monday where the Fab Two and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison were on hand to announce more details of their coming video game, The Beatles: Rock Band.
Forza 3 brings 100+ tracks to the table, has a ridiculous 400 cars from 50 different manufacturers, includes more than 200 events for single-player, and allows for customizable multiplayer game rules with an all-new editor.
Also, it’s goddamn gorgeous. To rephrase that in a more eloquent and nerdy way, the game has 10 times the amount of polygons as its predecessor. If my eyes could talk, they would probably say “wow.”
When Bungie left Microsoft, the developer expressed an interest in expanding its horizons beyond the Halo universe. Despite that, the developer will be returning to its signature series at least once more, as Microsoft today revealed the Bungie-developed Halo Reach during its 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing.
The game was announced with a teaser trailer at the end of a segment dedicated to this year’s Halo: ODST, which will arrive with an all-new co-op mode on September 22. The trailer showed a planet–ostensibly Reach, the planet where Spartans are trained–with a variety of radio chatter in the background. The radio chatter grows appropriately panicked as the planet is apparently “glassed”–or bombarded with plasma weapons–by the Covenant.
The trailer concluded with a notice that Reach falls in 2010. After the trailer, a Bungie representative announced that gamers who purchase Halo: ODST will be able to access the Halo Reach multiplayer beta on Xbox Live Arcade.
