Microsoft big cheese Shane Kim has said Rare is working with Xbox 360 motion-sensing technology Project Natal.

Nintendo will stop accepting user-generated content for Super Smash Bros. Brawl from 30th June.

Sony has announced SingStar: Take That for release on PS3 and PS2 later this year.

As Sony's latest poster child for user-generated content, it's hardly surprising that people are already likening ModNation Racers to LittleBigPlanet. But it's not as similar as you initially suspect. Although United Front's PS3 game aims to do for kart racers what Media Molecule's did for platformers, allowing you to customise characters and cars before building and sharing your own tracks, it's approaching things from a markedly different perspective - letting you get things up and running extremely quickly with tools that favour accessibility over precision.

Microsoft may well allow developers to retrofit their existing games with Project Natal controls, according to Xbox Live and services boss John Schappert.

Xbox boss Don Mattrick was washing his hair when we came to call at E3 this year - perhaps wary of spectacularly putting his foot in it again - but Eurogamer's Oli Welsh did get to speak to the affable John Schappert, boss of Live and services, about the company's various announcements, including Natal (yes, again), the games-on-demand service and other Xbox subjects. What does 'exclusive' even mean these days, for example? Read on to find out what Schappert reckons. - Tom.

Nintendo has updated the WiiWare store with Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which costs 800 Nintendo Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8 approx) to download.

Link's latest magical ability is the power to summon queues. Long queues, in fact. Queues that snake patiently around Nintendo's pristine white E3 booth while a lot of the other games on-show can be played with little or no waiting. After a strangely muted response to its unveiling at GDC 2009, the latest DS Zelda title appears to be picking up steam again: business as usual, then, as the mild-mannered pixie folk eclipse most of Nintendo's other offerings.

The highlight of Microsoft's E3 press conference - apart from Gepetto Molyneux and his talking boy - was undoubtedly Project Natal. As you'll know if you've read our hands-on preview, it allows you to play games using your whole body and invisible controllers, via a camera that sits under your TV.

Sony is selling the PS3/PSP port of Final Fantasy VII for GBP 7.99 / EUR 9.99 on the PlayStation Store.

(Available in Japan as Gomibako (reviewed) and in Europe as Trash Panic.)

Gearbox Software plans to release action RPG Borderlands this October on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Namco Bandai has unveiled a beat-'em-up campaign mode for Tekken 6 at E3.

At the end of our E3 Borderlands preview, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, who's been talking for the last 20 minutes at an insane rate of knots without, apparently, ever needing to take a breath, asks if anyone has a question. Someone does, as it happens, right down at the front of the group. It's Cliff Bleszinski. And he wants to know what engine the game's using.

Konami will release the original Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation Network on 18th June.

Sony begins to realise the grand vision of PlayStation Home today as photo-sharing is added to the virtual world.

Scottish developer T-Enterprise has scrapped work on Xbox 360 game Rendition: Guantanamo "as a direct result of the extreme reaction" against it.

Xbox 360 bigwig Aaron Greenberg thinks Sony's motion-sensing wand for PS3 will share the same "fun" space as Wii, but believes Microsoft's Project Natal is "leapfrogging" them both.

Ubisoft's Jade Raymond is working on Assassin's Creed 2 as executive producer.

Codemasters has trampled an Overlord II demo into Xbox Live Marketplace.

Microsoft's racing studio Turn 10 wants to make the "best simulator on any console", and one that a child of six could play. It wants to get 65-year-old classic car restoration enthusiasts playing videogames. It wants to make the biggest racing game the world has ever seen. It wants to be the first to bring you tyre flex and deformation at 60 frames per second. It wants to foster the most vibrant user-generated-content community in all gaming.

Microsoft has decided to end Xbox Originals and so pave the way for the new games-on-demand service announced during the platform holder's E3 conference.

Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves beta went live a few hours ago, and the clock-watching Digital Foundry was amongst the first to download the 1.2GB-sized sampler of what we reckon could well be the most technically impressive game of the year.

Bungie has revealed that Halo: Reach will be a first-person shooter and launch in autumn 2010.

You can usually rely on Valve to do the unexpected, even if the unexpected is exactly what you'd expect any other developer to do. Valve isn't known for its haste in following up successful games, and you might have thought it was high time for more Counter-Strike, never mind Half-Life or Portal. But with Left 4 Dead recently reissued in a Game of the Year Edition and still selling like shotgun shells in a zombie apocalypse, Valve has uncharacteristically decided to strike while the iron is red hot.

You can read far too much into an E3 demo, and we'd be wrong to assume that the finished Gran Turismo PSP won't feature much, much more than the version we've played in Sony's suite. But the early signs are that this will be a slenderer game than its home console counterparts - hardly surprising, given it will be a flagship launch title for the download-only, UMD-free PSPgo.

Rockstar's PS3 espionage game Agent will show us "a whole new way of experiencing videogames", according parent company Take-Two.
