Before E3 started earlier this month, I made a list of ‘dream game’ announcements that I would love to have seen happen. But did any of them happen?

Dream Number 1: New Kojima IP

No. Kojima-san announced that he was working on a new PSP game – Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and a 360/PS3 game based on Raiden’s story – Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Despite a little bit of disappointment that Kojima isn’t trying something new, I am looking forward to seeing more about Peace Walker’s story which is set in 1970s Costa Rica during the height of the Cold War.

Dream Number 2: Final Fantasy 7/8 re-make, or re-release

There wasn’t any hint of a re-make at E3 but I correctly predicted that FF7 would be released on the PS Store during or on the day of Sony’s press conference. This game is sure to sell A LOT on the store, and hopefully will push Square to release more of their PS1 classics.

Dream Number 3: The Elder Scrolls V

Nope. Bethesda is hard at work on Fallout 3 DLC, Fallout: New Vegas, WET, Rouge Warrior and Brink.

Dream Number 4: Mirror’s Edge 2

It’s happening. While strictly not at E3, Mirror’s Edge 2 was announced to be in development a couple of days ago. Hopefully it’ll retain the original’s amazing art style.

Dream Number 5: Bully 2

When Mr. Jack Tretton, Sony Computer Entertainment’s CEO, came on stage on the 2^nd of June and announced the PS3 exclusive Agent, he briefly mentioned Bully. Awesome, I thought, he’s going to announce a new Bully! But alas, it was not to be. Still; Agent does sound good.

1.5/5 isn’t that bad…oh well, maybe next year.

It's been two days since Linford posted the Modern Warfare 2 Extended Gamplay trailer, and today for my first article I'm going to bring you two minutes more footage. Posted last night on IGN, this new trailer is much longer and seems to depict another global crisis with the ultranationalist Russians at the center - the story ties in with Call Of Duty 4 with references to Zakhaev, the ultranationalists and a quest for revenge.

In terms of gameplay, things seem better than it's predecessor, Call of Duty 4. Gunplay looks to have come on leaps and bounds since the first, with a faster pace and much meaner-looking enemies. The single player is looking as though it will be longer this time round, with the bigger set pieces and further-polished environments. From this trailer, it's certainly looking like Modern Warfare 2 is set to compete with other big titles due for release this year.
