So, E3 will be descending upon the world starting this Monday and we’ll be doing our best to keep you posted in two key ways. Firstly, we’ll be liveblogging all three major E3 press conferences to give you up-to-the-second news as it is revealed during said conferences. Secondly, we’ll be resurrecting the Usagicast in all of its glory and be hosting one each major night of E3 (from June 14th to 16th) to recap the awesomeness of the day and just have fun while doing it.
Conference times are as follows (liveblogs will be featured on the foremost post on the main page of Game Usagi when they’re going on so as to provide easy access and will start 15 minutes prior to the beginning of each conference):
Microsoft E3 2010 Conference — June 14th @ 11:00 am CDT
Nintendo E3 2010 Conference — June 15th @ 10:00 am CDT
Sony E3 2010 Conference — June 15th @ 1:00 pm CDT
This year’s shaping up to be the biggest E3 since the unveiling of the Xbox 360, so make sure to tune-in and see what cards these gaming giants have been hiding up their sleeves for their conferences this year.

I haven’t posted a link to a webcomic in a while, but this one made me laugh a whole bunch and still does whenever I think about it. Enjoy.

There has been an image floating about the internet over the last couple of days, supposedly leaked through an FCC filing, of the development kit motherboard currently being used to test 3DS games. It’s not of a terribly high resolution, so I enlarged it a bit and examined it in detail to see just what we can learn about the 3DS from this image if it turns out to be the real deal.

Game Usagi has been undergoing a lot of changes in anticipation for our 3rd birthday on May 1st. The first and biggest change is that logging in to comment on Game Usagi has been significantly stream-lined. You can now use your Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, OpenID or Windows Live ID to log-in and it will automatically set you up with a GameUsagi account and enable one-click logging in from then on. It’s good to know what’s been going on, so here’s what else been changed at Game Usagi recently:

With the gaming market trending very quickly to HD audio and visuals, we find ourselves in need of a lot more equipment to get the most out of our games. I myself have purchased HD TVs, surround sound systems/headphones, PC gaming rigs, and video game systems all to take advantage of the higher resolution and clarity offered with cutting-edge technology. Well, even if you have all of the fancy gadgets, you’re still going to need a ton of cables to hook everything together. With all of the cables to buy, it’s best if you can get them on the cheap, as long as it doesn’t risk reducing the all-mighty clarity that your system will produce in the end. We recently had a budget-priced HDMI cable (that of course works on all HDMI-compatible devices) sent to us for review, so read on to see how it fared.

Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Genre: 3rd-Person Action-Adventure
Players: 1
Console: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Hours Played: ~ 30 hours
Progress: Completed main story, discovered The Truth, collected all weapons/armour, stabbed a bunch of people in the face
The first Assassin’s Creed, even though riddled with bugs and repetition was a unique and deep enough experience that it sold quite well and brought a good amount of solid gaming hours to everyone who played it. Looking to fix some of the mistakes of the past, Ubisoft Montreal set out to make a more fleshed-out Assassin’s Creed experience while continuing the intriguing (and somewhat convoluted) story-line and helping us discover The Truth. You can find out about whether or not their efforts were in vain after the jump.
