Prior to E3’09 I listed 22 games gone Missing In Action (MIA) that I hoped to see at E3.  Well in this update you will see which ones re-appeared, which ones remain lost, and which ones are stuck in production waiting for a publisher to help out.  For more details about each game see the full-write up by clicking here for Part 1 and here for Part 2.

In the meantime, if you’re like me, you’d like to see some of the big publishers enter into the buyer’s market and pick up some of these new and interesting titles that aren’t just safe sequels or offshoots of existing IPs.

In a year full of talk of twos (Bioshock 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Killzone 2, Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2: Drakes Fortune etc.) it is the newer IPs like Alan Wake and Heavy Rain (for PS3) that have me the most fascinated.  Sure, those twos, threes, and fours are some really great IPs that I have or will be picking up, but creative new ideas and games give diversity, and the little studios could use some help to get their vision to full potential and market.

Here is the list and current status of each game as we know it: Full List Here. . .>

xboxoz360_icon581.png This has been a game I’ve had on the radar and the 360 Games Listing since early 2005. When it appeared on the net with some outstanding screen shots everyone was debunking as “real” photos, and saying it’ll never appear. Many claiming my facts were most certainly wrong, and I was misguided in believing such a game could appear on the 360.

Yesterday, news rose of an “Exclusive” preview of the PS3 and PC title 2 Days 2 Vegas with no mention of the words Xbox 360, thus fueling heaps of PS3 lovers who loved fanning the “Nah Nah Nah it’s OUR Exclusive Fire” . . . In fact, it was that PSU were having an “exclusive interview” with the developers and omitted the mention of the 360 in their article/announcement. That of course lead to the net ‘assuming’ the game was definitely not coming to the 360, after all, it couldn’t handle such a game in the first place.

It wasn’t as if he was misleading anyone, simply relaying the facts as he knew them at the time, it’s how some “fans” take things out of context, and fan them into a roaring fire. I find PSU a great site, and while they are primarily a Sony Playstation site, they support most platforms relatively unbiasedly unlike some who claim to be multiplatform, yet show a distinct bias towards their platform of choice.

After some confusion, PSU writer contacted Steel Moneys, and they assured the writer that yes, the game is definitely coming to the 360 . . . irrespective of the comments that have been made n the net to the contrary.

From Steel Monkeys:

Some Game Background

The storyline is based around you, Vinny who’s just been released from Rikers Prison after doing a nice 3 year stretch, and has thoughts of leading a nice, quite life now he has ‘done his time’ . . . However, it seems his younger brother Tony has other ideas. Vinny has just been told his younger, and rather inconsiderate brother Tony, has gotten himself into a right shit load or trouble in Vegas. Vinny has to run against the clock to get to his brothers aid, and has just 48 hours in which to get there.

Hence the title 2 Days to Vegas. (more…)
