Daav from NoobFeed.com rounds up another batch of game ideas after a 'very productive period of film watching'. At least there's a justification for eating chips and sitting on your ass. Five more films get transitioned and compared with games like Zelda, L.A. Noire, Brink, Assassin's Creed and even Leisure Suit Larry.
"Last week’s Electronic Theatre Sunday Special was the run down of Top Ten Videogame Heroes; featuring the protagonist you loved like Sam Fisher, Sonic the Hedgehog and Link. So to prove that the games industry isn’t just a man’s game, this week we focus on the Top Ten Videogame Heroines.

I was expecting to head out to see E3's return to old form and perhaps get a peek at what Ubisoft has been working on, alas Russ discovered this heartbreaking news. Oh well, another year, more polish - better first impression, right?
"Among other goodies, Ubidays in Paris has resulted in a long awaited revelation: the sequel to Beyond Good and Evil is real.
Ubisoft President Yves Guillemot has just announced Beyond Good and Evil 2, showing a trailer named 1. The Pig. Gamersyde is the first sport new images and a trailer. The footage suggests a departure from the cartoon art style of the original, and though Gamersyde suppose the trailer is CG, it looks like in-game assets to me.

Surfer Girl, a almost notorious source which has a knack for fishing out the information the game industry doesn't want you to see has released a new batch of rumours. This time she claims a teaser trailer for PS3 title Heavy Rain is on the way, Next Level Games next project will be a downloadable title for the 360 and that Beyond Good and Evil 2 may be in the works
