So the folks at Eurogamer have taken it upon themselves to do the entire gaming community and the world at big a favor, and have conducted detailed framerate tests on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Grand Theft Auto IV.
But Eurogamer took it one step further, conducting the tests not once, but twice. The details of the tests can be found here, but the general results are shocking and conclusive:

Don’t think we already forgot about those mysterious “Lips” that were supposed to be unveiled as part of today’s Gamer’s Day announcement. But, as you’re well aware, there has been absolutely zero “Lip” talk coming from Microsoft’s, erm … lips. Is it a new game? Is it a new voice accessory? We aren’t sure, but hopefully an explanation will still be coming sometime today. Though, as the minutes tick by, we’re beginning to think that “Lips” is no longer a Gamer’s Day announcement and may now be E3 talk.

More Gamers’ Day goodness as we continue to dig through the assets provided by Microsoft. Perusing the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts fact sheet, we’ve uncovered a few tasty bits of info. First and foremost, the game will feature multiplayer modes. Stated modes will be available online, though the fact sheet is unclear if they will be offline capable as well. Given that Rare’s other large game for 2008, Viva Pi

Achievement fans rest easy. Thanks to the crack team of soldiers (pictured above) we’ve found the full list of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars accomplishments. The elusive accomplishment list was hiding out at Xbox360Achievements.org and have since been rescued from danger. Promising to soon line your Gamerscore pockets, these points cover everything from completing the multiple campaign modes (North America, Europe, Africa and Pacific) to on the web ranking achievements that most of us will never get.
As for these guys? If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them … maybe you can hire, the Quake-Team.

Good lord. So many Ninja Gaiden II images. Adding more the already huge pile of Gamers’ Day 08 media, we bring you 40 new images of Ninja Gaiden II. We’ve got character renders.

Caress each image lovingly with your eyes. Your eyes work very hard, and they deserve the treat.

Cinematic. That’s the one word we use to describe the new Alone in the Dark trailer because that’s actually what it’s called, “Cinematic Trailer”. How very original. Name aside, the trailer is a pretty decent look at what the game has to offer, complete with man slapping, rope climbing, perilous taxi driving and some interesting music. Also, after you’ve finished your trailer viewing, hop on over to X360A to view the recently released Alone in the Dark accomplishments. Though, we must state that the recycled accomplishment artwork makes the devs look a bit lazy.

Gamers’ Day news just keeps pouring out, and now we’ve got some brand new shots from Fable 2 and (finally) a scheduled release for Holiday 2008. Allowed, it’s not too specific, but at least we’ve narrowed it down to somewhere between October and December. Included in our new gallery below are screenshots, character renders, concept art, and the official (and awesome) Fable 2 box art. We particularly like the image of the evil heroine seen above. We’re not sure if all evil characters will receive the pale, vampiric look or if our evil hero simply spends too much time indoors. Either way, she looks badass, and frankly we don’t think we’d have the courage to ask. Check out the gallery below.

Update: It was just brought to our attention that GSB’s Gamer’s Day video features previously unseen footage of another execution. Look for Marcus fist punching the snot out of a Locust at around 30 seconds in.
After digging through today’s new Gamer’s Day Gears of War 2 press kit, on what we initially thought to be an unsuccessful mission to find something new, we stumbled across an interesting feature reveal. Listed on the official GoW2 May 2008 fact sheet comes mention that the “overall tone of ‘Gears of War 2′ is more badass - replete with new weapon-specific executions, chain saw duels and shocking boss fights.” Weapon specific executions? SUH-WEET! Maybe that’s why the recently released gameplay video didn’t show the option to curb stomp Locusts which lead us to think neck-snapping replaced the iconic foot to the back of head, head to the curb move. We can only envision what other weapon specific executions will be included when Gears ships and what twisted execution the crew over at Epic will think up for the torque bow.
