Namco Bandai has a handful of exciting videogames set and ready to be put on display at this year’s E3, but Splatterhouse is not one of them, oddly enough. With the game’s development being the clusterf**k that it was, I suppose it might do Splatterhouse some good to sit this one out until it’s best suited for a major showing.
What exactly is the company showing off, then? I’m glad you asked. Here’s the line-up:
- Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (Xbox 360, PS3)
- Dead to Rights: Retribution (Xbox 360, PS3)
- Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny (PSP)
- Active Life: Extreme Challenge (Wii)
What am I personally most excited to see more about? Active Life, duh! But seriously, if we shot video of Hamza doing a demonstration of that game, it would be pretty funny, I’d like to think. For any of you attending E3, there’s also going to be a Tekken 6 tournament complete with prizes.
Check after the break for more details on that.
