On December 31, 2011, Microsoft will release the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle, which includes a white R2-D2-themed 320GB Xbox Console, a white Kinect sensor, a gold C-3PO-themed wireless controller, and a copy of the Kinect Star Wars video game.

You can pre-order this limited edition bundle now! And seriously, if this is something you’re looking at now and thinking “WANT!” then definitely pre-order, as I’m sure this will not only sell out, but most likely get put into backorder before the release date.

Oh, and if you’re worried about the price going down after you pre-order, Amazon has a “Pre-order Price Guarantee” where if the price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price.

See below for more details on the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle.

Another big title making a big appearance at this year’s E3 convention is, of course, BioWare’s trilogy-making Mass Effect 3.

We’ve seen the first cinematic trailer for the game, but now Casey Hudson and the team at BioWare are ready to show off their gameplay…which comes with promises of a great story, phenomenal combat, and gigantic scale. But what’s totally unexpected is the announcement that some features of the game will be compatible with Kinect.

Continue reading to see the first gameplay trailer for Mass Effect 3, an intense demo and extended walkthrough, and how the unexpected usage of Kinect will work.

Fable has turned into an interesting franchise for Peter Molyneaux and his Lionhead Studios. Each game has come with unbelievable promises, and each””while still enjoyable for many players in terms of basic entertainment””has failed to live up to a lot of the overall hype.

That’s not stopping Molyneaux from continuing to try and reach beyond the stars for the next installment in the Fable franchise, however, with the not-so-surprising announcement of a Fable 4, more officially titled Fable: The Journey. The new game takes a major turn from its predecessors, and it’s this move that will see it gaining (and perhaps losing) many fans.

Be sure to continue reading to learn much more and to see not only the first cinematic trailer for Fable: The Journey, but to see a gameplay demo as well, so you can decide whether you’re in, out, or undecided.
