Xbox 360 Weekend Warrior: E3 week, but this is not gonna be about E3

Weird that our Warriors won't be touching on the E3 event when that was undoubtedly the biggest news we had all this past week? No, not really. That's because we're having a separate QuickPeek Special Edition for that, so you watch out for that one as well.

Besides, there are other things that happened in the industry that's not necessarily from the E3. Compared to the dirth of information we harvested from LA, they may not be as much, but yeah. They're still very much there to be sure. And so this is the Weekend Warrior that will not talk about E3.

Nope. Not gonna be about that.

Gaming:

BioShock 2 got some new screenshots Link
Assassin's Creed 2:

Ending will give you yet another "Holy crap, I never saw it coming" moment. Link
And it's "always been planned to be a trilogy." Link
Oh, and there will be a Black Collector's Edition for it, too. Link

Finally, we got something on Crackdown 2. Thank God for their official website. Link
It's been rumored for a while now - a full year, in fact, and finally, we have confirmation that yes, Forza Motorsport 3 will indeed be coming in two discs. Link
Overlord was on a roll, too, this week, launching a Minionstrosity of Information video. Link
Splinter Cell: Conviction: Where in the world is Sam Fisher, you ask? You might wanna check out his official website to find out. Link
Another one lost would be Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection pre-orders. They suddenly were nowhere to be found. Link
Sorry guys, but there won't be a pre-release demo for Prototype. Maybe it's gonna be a post-release demo? Link

Online:

XBL garners the Guinness World Record's Most Popular Online Console Gaming Service. Link
Check out Overlord 2's demo, now up on XBL. Link
Wolverine went and slashed his way to the XBL with his Uncaged Edition for X-Men Origins. Link
Fallout 3's DLC #4, Point Lookout, is said to be coming in three short weeks. Watch out for it. Link
Perfect Dark will be coming to the XBL this Winter, but you can get the theme as early as now on Marketplace. Link

Industry:

Peter Molyneux got promoted, and it's not with Lionhead Studios. He's now Microsoft Europe's creative director. Link
Why was Rare not at E3? No new games to offer? Not exactly true. Shane Kim explains that the reason for their non-appearance was that the Rare team is "intimately involved" with the production of games specifically for Project Natal. Link
Electronic Arts exec Patrick Suderland weighed in on the presentations of the companies at E3, and his conclusion: Natal is great, Sony's got a lot of games, and the Xbox 360's 'maxed out'. Link
Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov also gave his two cents on Project Natal, and says it's "a very right step in a very right direction". Link

See, what did I tell you? It doesn't have to be all about E3. As I said, we're having a Special Edition for that. We hope you enjoyed the past week as much as we did, too, regardless of whether or not you were impressed by Microsoft's Press Conference.

We'll see you again next week, back to regular programming, but for sure with more post-E3 week affairs. Just keep jumpin'!
