Yet another game series that has made its way across from Sony. Namco’s beat ‘em up, Tekken 6, has just been confirmed as a multiplatform game, releasing simultaneously on the PS3 and the 360 at launch.
I would go into how all the good series seem to be going multiplatform if they were PS3 exclusive, but that’d be fanboyish of me. Seriously though, with Tekken having been a mainstay to the Playstation arsenal, this is almost as big of a blow as FFXIII going to the 360.

Dare I say that I am not interested in the slightest in this game?
The developers Phantagram and Q Entertainment are banding together once again to create a sequal to the lacklustre hack-and-slash Ninety-Nine Nights. No mention of anything that will be featured in it, although one can expect the multiple stories and the difficult gameplay to feature, without a doubt.
I bought the original game for £12, and I wasn’t impressed with it at that price. Who’s to say that I will pay £40 for a sequel if it’s equally bad? With a lack of hack-and-slash titles available for the 360, let’s hope this one has promise, and isn’t another gaming faux-pas.

The Tokyo Game Show 2008 is in full swing with the news already pouring out, luckily your friends here at GameOnYou UK, are here to report it to you as it happens.
First off, the “New Xbox Experience”, after lots of speculation about it’s release date, Microsoft decided that they could not contain themselves any longer and revealed that it will hit consoles worldwide on November 19th.
So it may not be in time for the release of Gears of War 2, it arrives in plenty of time for Christmas. If that wasn’t enough, Bungie decided end speculation of their latest project, well, sort of.
Halo 3: Recon, announced for late 2009, will be a Halo 3 adjacent campaign where you will take control of an “ODST”, better known as a “Helljumper”. That is all told us and the video shown didn’t help us find out anything else.
The video for Halo 3: Recon can be found on the Xbox Live marketplace, but we urge you to see it through to the end, it uses the “Keep It Clean” teaser as an intro, causing people to turn off before the good stuff happens.
Keep coming back for the latest from TGS 2008.
