Submitted By: Janx
21 Mar 2006 06:54 | Xbox 360
Banjo 3, the long rumoured sequel from Rare has been confirmed to be in development by the April issue of Game Informer (p26). Sequel to the N64 classics, its development was put in doubt with the announcement of Viva Piñata last week. After working on the N64 sequel the team went to work on the first Xbox Rare title 'Grabbed by the Ghoulies', and then reportedly went to work on Viva. For this reason alone, doubt has been cast on the information Game Informer has given, with the possibility that this is simply another April Fools joke, as with the Halo:Forerunner rumour that was debunked last week.

Test Drive Unlimited Preview
Submitted By: Lost Alley
20 Mar 2006 08:00 | Xbox 360
Some game franchises have been around for so long that they outlast the company that first made them. A good example is the venerated Test Drive series that began with Accolade, which was later bought by Infogrames and then folded into the Atari umbrella. While Accolade has gone away into video-game history, Test Drive has continued rolling—though with plenty of ups and downs that threatened its popularity. Atari, however, isn’t willing to let it also fade into becoming a has-been memory. The distinct hope is to bring it back with a big bang with Test Drive Unlimited on Xbox 360 and PC.
