GFW Live Multiplayer Features Now Free, Marketplace ComingPosted 12:49pm Tue Jul 22, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: GFW Live, Microsoft, PC

Microsoft's Games For Windows initiative has caught a lot of anger from the gaming community for a variety of reasons, but some of those are about to erased, as 1up is reporting that a couple of big announcements regarding GFW Live have been made at Gamefest 2008.

First up is the news that multiplayer features such as matchmaking and cross-platform play with the Xbox 360 no longer require a paid GFW Live Gold account. Many gamers have been hostile towards Microsoft in the past for charging for these features, most of which are free on services such as Steam.

Next was the announcement that the long-overdue GFW Live Marketplace is coming, from which you will be able to pick up demos, trailers, and more. Microsoft plans to make it as functional and content-rich as the Xbox Live Marketplace.

E3 2008: Capcom's Booth to be Available to the PublicPosted 2:05pm Fri Jul 11, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: E3, E3 2008, Capcom

Even though E3 is now an invite-only event, Capcom is going to give the public a chance to check out their wares, as they've announced that their booth will be open to public for a limited time, according to 1up.

Because of limited space, you must RSVP in advance if you plan to attend. To reserve your spot, simply send a message with the title "E3" to this guy at Capcom's website. However, unless you receive a message in response saying "come on down!" you won't be allowed inside.

Sounds good, huh? If you can make the trip, it should be fun time to see some games.

New Mega Man 9 Trailer And InfoPosted 8:08pm Thu Jul 10, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Mega Man 9, Capcom, Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare, Playstation Network, Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3, Video, Trailer

It's not quite time for E3, but Capcom has given IGN some fresh details about Mega Man 9 in addition to the game's first trailer.

Perhaps the most interesting announcement is that Mega Man 9 will be hitting XBLA and PSN in addition to Nintendo's WiiWare service. Capcom had previously declared the game to be a Wii exclusive, but the end of the new trailer prominently displays logos for Microsoft and Sony's respective services.

Details about the story have also been unveiled: Mega Man 9 is set after Mega Man 8. Some of Dr. Light's creations are involved in global riots, and Dr. Wily blames him for the occurrences on TV. It's up to Mega Man to clear Dr. Light's name.

IGN notes that the game looks and feels like a classic Mega Man title, with character designs straight from Keiji Inafune, creator of the franchise. There are also over 50 new enemies and bosses, and an online leaderboard will rank you against other players worldwide.

Finally, the first two NES Mega Man games are set to be released on the Virtual Console sometime in the near future.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer, which shows off a variety of levels.
