These are all the videos from the Microsoft press event, minus the staged introductions from the executives.

Enjoy, and post your thoughts about any of these videos in our comments section!

This is the first official image from the set of Iron Man 3. The movie is written and directed by Shane Black and will feature returning stars Robert Downey Jr, Gwenyth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Jon Favreau. Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ashley Hamilton, and James Badge Dale join the cast.

This image of course reveals nothing about the actual movie, but does get us back in Stark’s garage with his collection of suits. If you’re looking for spoilers, the movie is supposedly heavily based on the Extremis story from the comic series, so you can read that. In the mean time, this looks cool and the movie opens May 3, 2013.

The Covenant you thought you’d stopped at the end of Halo 3? They’re not done yet. If anything the survivors have an axe to grind with John 117 for taking away their great journey.

The on stage demo from the floor of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 E3 event starts with a live action short showing the launch of the UNSC Infinity, the largest ship ever constructed by man and intended to be a peaceful ship for exploration. On the surface of an unknown planet, Master Chief and Cortana watch this ship barrel over head ready to crash. As Chief treks to catch up, you’ll see Halo 4’s new Heads Up Display, now with Cortana’s face displayed when she talks to you. After taking out a small Covenant scout party, Chief runs into a nasty bunch of Forerunner AI. He’ll pick up a new Forerunner rifle and a Forerunner shotgun, both of which disintergrate enemies.

The demo ends with Chief surrounded by these Forerunner AI, and then a quick montage of scenes from other parts of the game. Cortana was put into service 8 years ago, and UNSC AI only have a lifespan of 7 years. She’s dying and going crazy, and some voice from beyond announces “I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer.” Reclaimer is the title given to Master Chief by the Forerunner AI in the first Halo game, when it was thought he was activate the ring and eliminate all life in the galaxy.

Ironhide fends off Decepticons as others evacuate in the ark, The Dinobots and Jazz take on Bruticus, and Optimus Prime is cornered by Starscream, Shockwave, and Megatron. Guess what happens next?

The MTV Movie Awards are apparently something that still happens and some new The Dark Knight Rises footage was shown last night. This is not really a trailer, its more of a montage of a lot of action with a few story bits sprinkled in.

The official running time for the movie has been announced as 2 hours and 45 minutes, so be sure to go to the bathroom before you settle into your seat on July 20. Here is the official synopsis of the movie as well:

Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes.

And here are two new ads running on TV for the movie: [Read the rest of this entry…]

L.A.Noire was one of Rockstar’s most ambitious projects. Developed by Australian group Team Bondi, L.A. Noire is a detective story taking place after WWII. Playing as Cole Phelps, you set out to solve a series of crimes in post-war Los Angles, among them being a series of killings inspired by the real life Black Dahlia Murders. L.A. Noire’s gameplay and graphics make this a unique open world experience. It’s just too bad that we may not see much more from the developers.
