Minecraft is at 1.7
Haven't visited your Minecraft world lately? Got bored making random things? No reason to boot up your world? Well now you do. Team Mojang has now updated Minecraft to 1.7 and now we have pistons!
Pistons may not sound like much to you at a glance, especially with how simple it looks but people have already done some incredibly creative things with it. My favorite is the transforming entrance.

Bioshock Infinite E3 gameplay demo coming soon..
During this year's E3, Bioshock Infinite made an appearance but only revealed a new trailer to the public, not a new demo. A 15 minute demo was showcased in their E3 booth for people to try out but was hidden in closed doors. Now, their finally revealing the demo shown at E3 2011 in Spike TV on July 7th, and together with that announcement, they give us a small teaser of that 15 minute demo.

oh the hype! the game looks amazing. The creators of Bioshock has left Rapture for now and created a whole new world again but instead of an underwater city, a floating city up in the air called Columbia.

Sadly this is set for a 2012 release so we'll have to wait months before we get our hands on Bioshock Infinite. It's cool though, since we have tons of games to keep us busy this 2011. But if you haven't played Bioshock 1 or 2, you guys should definitely check it out. You won't regret it, especially the first game.

Nintendo! Localize these games! NOW!
We all know the Wii is on life support now, especially with the announcement of the Wii U. Nintendo claims that the Wii U will coexist with the Wii but aside from Skyward Sword, there seems to be no other big name Wii title coming out this year... in North America at least.
This has led to Operation Rainfall, a campaign started by Wii owners to try to convince Nintendo to localize The Lasy Story, Xenoblade, and Pandora's Tower. I myself want these 3 games localized too as they look fantastic.
The Last Story is a game headed the legendar Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy.

Xenoblade has 'Xeno' in it so I bet you're all thinking about Xenogears and Xenosaga right now. Oh by the way, Xenoblade looks incredible too.

Pandora's Tower is a sort of action brawler Castlevania looking thing which I have to say I am also very interested to play.

Help out the cause so that Nintendo will finally get a fucking clue and localize these games! I doubt it'd even cost them that much in the first place. If they claim that the Wii will coexist with the Wii U they'd better prove it.
I heard that Xenoblade will be localized in Europe, they weren't allowed to announce it at this year's E3 because Nintendo of America handles stuff there. If Nintendo of America still doesn't get their act together, I'll have to import the game. But what about the other 2?

Limbo is Coming to PSN... and PC too
Limbo is a puzzle platform game that was first released in July 2010 exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade, until a speculation about a PC release was leaked, and now a hint about a Playstation Network release comes out.
A rating that was posted on Korea Rating Board confirms that Limbo is coming to PSN. It is also rumored that Limbo will be also released for Microsoft Windows, because of a trailer that appeared on Steam. Though there is no official statement yet, I take this news as legit because it is not the first time that this happened, Braid was also a XBLA exclusive for months until it was made available for Playstation Network and Microsoft Windows.
Here is a translated version of the rating from the Korean Rating Board:
Wonjemyeong LIMBO Hangul expulsion LIMBO (Limbo) Sincheongsa Sony Computer Entertainment Korea Date of Classification 2011-06-29 Classification Number CC-NV-110629-003 Determining grades Rated MA15 + Sincheongsa Address 4-dong 869-9, Seocho-Gu, Seoul, Bangbae Spirit Building, 4th Floor Phone number 02-6001-6200 Representatives Shiroi Kawa Lodz (KAWAUCH SHIRO] Nationality Denmark Genre Adventure
Cave Story 3D scheduled for November
Cave Story 3D has been scheduled for release on November 8. This is actually because of a delay for "Additional game improvements." When it was initially scheduled for release, I don't know and I'm too lazy to research it lol.
"We are currently undergoing improvements to enhance gameplay," says NIS America producer Jack Niida. "Changes are in the small details, but in order to satisfy both the fans and the new players we need to make sure the game is done right."
Lots of good games coming out this holiday season, let the wallet rape begin.
