PAX Links

I'm going to be grabbing links here and there for things that catch my eye from this year's PAX Prime coverage and throwing them in here throughout the weekend ... or however long the decent coverage lasts. My comments will be in red:

12:20pm - Kotaku: New Platformer Is Ikaruga Without The Spaceships

"Ubisoft, when you show a game that is essentially Ikaruga reimagined as a platformer, congratulations, you have our undivided attention."

I want to see this in motion.

12:20pm -  Kotaku: Duke Nukem Forever Spotted At PAX 2010

"As this year's PAX convention is just about to start, photos from the Penny Arcade Expo show floor confirm that Duke Nukem Forever—now with more Gearbox Software—will have a strong presence at the show."

1:26pm - Kotaku: Your First Look at Duke Nukem Forever in Action

"Yes, Gearbox Software really is turning the perpetual vaporware Duke Nukem Forever into a real live video game bound for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360."

Do we really consider this to be DNF though? Is this the game that's been done and redone for the last decade or is this just the game that Gearbox made to satisfy Take Two's need to continue the franchise?

1:36pm - Joystiq: First Mega Man Universe gameplay footage revealed

"The Mega Man Universe teaser trailer hinted at all sorts of cross-game franchise madness when it debuted earlier this year, and the first gameplay trailers do little more than stoke our curiosity all the more. Three teasers (courtesy of 1UP, GameSpot and IGN) each begin with an introduction from creator Keiji Inafune, and then launch into gameplay footage of this prettied up side-scrolling Mega Man title."

Yeah ... still not sure what to expect from this. That initial trailer a couple weeks ago was AMAZING though.
