Killer Instinct 3 May Be Xbox 360 Exclusive
It's been rumored by EGM that Killer Instinct 3 is in the works and headed exclusively to the Xbox 360. Rare's popular fighting series that once appeared on the SNES and N64, may also be in 3D.
This is coming off a string of hits for Rare such as Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Pinata, and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. However, with the upcoming Banjo Kazooie appearing to be drastically different than it's N64 BJ Kazooie predecessors, many are speculating that KI3 may be geared more towards homosexuals. We'll keep you posted!

Great Job on Ninja Gaiden II!
The scores are starting to come in now for Ninja Gaiden II on the Xbox 360, and I must say they are rather impressive. It seems to be averaging about an 8 out of 10, and thankfully it appears that not much has changed. I love how they decided not to improve upon anything but the graphics because, after all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Die hard fans will be happy to hear that the same ridiculous difficulty level that made you want to punch your first Xbox has been left intact for this game as well. With IGN comparing it's plot to the new summer smash hit, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, what's not to look forward to?
This is just what Microsoft needed to combat the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out for the PS3 on June 12, 2008 at all major retailers. Great job, Xbox!

Comparing Banjo Kazooie to Little Big Planet
A lot of people have been trying to compare the Xbox 360's upcoming title, Banjo Kazooie, to PS3's Little Big Planet, at least in the graphical department. Here's a little video showing the two together.
Clearly, Little Big Planet is a bit overrated. I think it's obvious that Banjo is in a whole new class of it's own.

You're Never Too Fat To Play The 360
One obese gamer decided to give Wii Fit a try, only to find that he was too fat to play it. The unnamed man is 6 foot 8 and 350 pounds. Apparently, the board that comes along with Wii Fit can only withstand 300 pounds.
To make a long story short, he threw a little tantrum about it and complained to Nintendo, not realizing that a plastic board that costs less than $90 is probably going to have some kind of weight threshold to it.
My advice is to trade that gay board for a 360 controller. Xbox does not discriminate against obese gamers. In fact, many 360 gamers are well over their target weight range, so he'll fit right in!

No Blu-ray for Xbox 360
For awhile now, there have been some rumors of an Xbox 360 coming equipped with a Blu-ray player in the near future. Of course, this wouldn't be for game purposes, but for watching movies.
Well, thankfully, Microsoft's Shane Kim has laid those ridiculous rumors to rest. Kim, the head of Microsoft Games Studios, was quoted in an article on Home Media Magazine as saying that while Blu-ray “provides some visual boost for people who want a physical HD format”, Microsoft does not see “that format taking off, in general.” He also stated that Microsoft is not working on any kind of Blu-ray add-on for the 360.
I for one would much rather have games on a few different disks, than on one Blu-ray. Ever heard of file compression?
