We are only a couple of days away from the madness of E3, so you know what that means… press releases, teaser trailers and rumor-baiting galore! Just the other day, I received word from Namco Bandai about their featured games at the show, to include Tekken 6, Dead to Rights: Retribution, SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny and Active Life: Extreme Challenge. The company is really covering its bases this year - with stuff all along the fabled hardcore-to-casual spectrum. We’ve got fighting, action and an exercise game (it’s totally a genre now), covering most of the major platforms.

From the press release:

“The main event for show-goers will be hands-on gameplay time with the company’s exciting new titles releasing later this year.  Attendees will have a chance to enter the latest King of Iron Fist Tournament with TEKKEN 6 and play an exciting new game mode for Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 system, experience the brutal world of Grant City as both a vice cop and his canine companion in Dead to Rights: Retribution on Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, find the most robust and feature-packed portable fighting game with SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny on the PSP System, get an extreme workout with Active Life: Extreme Challenge for Wii and much more.  With games covering all genres and platforms, there’s something for everyone at the NAMCO BANDAI Games booth.”

There will also be an extensive Tekken 6 tourney, so get your virtual warm-up in now.

I’m actually curious about this Active Life title - I’m wondering where it will fall on the list of Wii Fit wannabes (of which EA Sports Active is the reigning champion). I’m also very interested in seeing a good Soul Calibur experience on a handheld. The PSP is looking sweeter by the minute.

In any event, stay tuned for gamertell’s E3 coverage!
