After finding a lot of success with the uDraw tablet on Wii, THQ has announced that they are bringing the device over to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this holiday season. The tablet will be redesigned, meaning it will probably lose the Wii remote holder and come in a hardcore gamer oriented black color scheme. Except I doubt they will be interested in Spongebob Squigglepants, so maybe THQ has a couple of core oriented uDraw games to announce at e3.

EA inadvertently revealed the Buffalo Bill's new jersey when they released a new trailer for Madden 2012 alongside the unveiling of Brown's running back Peyton Hillis as the cover athlete. Madden executive producer Phil Frazier took to twitter and had this to say about the mishap,"Also had to answer tough questions on prematurely revealing a team's new jersey." No word yet on what course of action, if any, the NFL will take- but they can't be happy. Catch the trailer after the break.
Gamers can sign up to beta test Bungie's new game by following this link. I wouldn't expect to get started playing anything until at least e3 however, they are being pretty secretive as to what it is they are actually working on. I will be very curious to see what their first project under Activision's wing will be. My guess is that it will feature guns, but I could be wrong. I would like to see a return to Myth, so dwarfs with Molotov cocktails would do just fine.
Is Rockstar borrowing a few pages from Nintendo's super guide? It turns out if you die a few times during an action sequence in L.A. Noire you are given the chance to skip that segment entirely and continue to advance the cinematic story. But are people really buying this to watch a movie? Why not save $50 and go see one in theaters or find a copy of Reservoir Dogs on DVD? No self respecting gamer would choose to use this feature, but I guess having more options isn't something you can really complain too much about.
RelyonHorror.com has translated a recent Capcom interview with Spanish gaming site MarcaPlayer, where the company makes a rare comment on Resident Evil 6. Capcom's Masachika Kawata had this to say about the future of the franchise:
”The series will see a complete renovation with the next entry on every level. But we can’t forget about all the previous entries that have led to the creation of many possibilities for the franchise. I can’t say if we’re going to make it (Resident Evil 6) survival horror or a shooter, but I can say that it’ll be totally different.” Does that mean puppies and rainbows? Or maybe an MMO? We might just find out in a little over a month at e3. Source: RelyonHorror.com Software

It supports voice and hand gestures on limited titles currently, meaning you will likely want to stick with your regular old controller for a while longer. Will this actually help at all? I generally have a lot of trouble using Kinect like a pointer and even more trouble selecting menu items, but that might just be me.
In a surprising move Capcom has announced that Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition will be available as both a $40 standalone purchase and a $15 dollar download. While that is pretty steep for a couple of new fighters and added balance I am glad the option is there for people who are interested. The new content, including this particularly evil rendition of Ryu, will be available for both Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 28th in the U.S.
Did you know that establishments like Sinclair Spirits and Robertson’s Tobaccoria in BioShock were named after staffers Scott Sinclair and Shawn Robertson? Irrational Games is launching a contest that might get your name in Bioshock: Infinite. You could end up as the namesake of a building, a character or whatever else their artists come up with. All you have to do is enter your name and e-mail on the webform located here.
Duck and Cover has gotten the exclusive scoop on new DLC for Fallout: New Vegas. There are a couple of small images and a logo available on their forums for your perusal. The new DLC, titled Honest Hearts, looks like it will once again strip player's items from them, much like the Dead Money expansion. That may be a potential downer for some, but how hard would fighting wasteland savages be if you could always run around in your Enclave armor? A new trailer is said to be coming soon.
