Konami has announced it will pick up movie turned game Saw. It will be created by Zombie Studios, a company that I've found to be run by actual zombies. Like with all half done licensed games with no information on them, this had hit game written all over it and Konami was wise to notice.
HELL - In an attempt to make my first news post look good, EA and DICE have announced that they still don’t understand the word irony by announcing Bad Company 2. The first person shooter will be released this winter on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
EA has seen better days after having 1,100 (11% increase) layoffs and yet still lacking the money to make a great game. However, perhaps the company has hope in star title Mass Effect 2. It certainly convinced would be stock holders as EA’s stock has somehow managed to go up two dollars a share.
In other EA news, the company has announced the delay of Dragon Age citing “epic winz”, the delay of Godfather 2 because “the family wasn’t big enough for epic winz” and Sims 3 because “this will never be epic winz”. Why delay a great game when your company is falling apart? That’s why EA makes the tough decisions, because they excel at it.

During Microsoft's E3 Conference today, it was announced that the long thought to be PS3 exclusive, Final Fantasy XIII, would be released for Xbox 360 as well.
2BN's thoughts on the matter?
THANK YOU FOR SAVING US $400! Other than MGS4, Playstation 3 really doesn't seem to have anything to offer enough to make you buy the system if you already have an Xbox 360, and for one console homes (aka, losers), it's almost a no brainer to go with the Xbox 360 at this point, because even the multi-platform games have exclusive features on the MS system.
So, unless Sony pulls a rabit out of it's hat at their conference, no scratch that an army of rabits, wielding Wii-motes, this may be the death knell for the once dominant division of the multi-billion dollar company.
Electronic Entertainment Expo is nearly upon us and promises to slap us repeatedly and mercilessly in the face with news coverage of gaming awesomeness. There are many flavors involved and tons of events happening, butwhat do you want in your E3?
