Hype for
Home may be pretty dead right now, but there are still a few aspects of the service that intrigue us, like Game Spaces. A couple of these were shown off in trailer form at
Sony's E3 Press Conference, but we had a chance to have an in-depth look at the
Uncharted and
Warhawk spaces with a Sony representative. Most of the presentation was seen through the lens of a camera, so
check out the gallery for plenty of snapshots.
The
Uncharted Game Space takes the form of Sully's bar, complete with "photos" of characters from the game on the walls. The space is made up of several rooms and rull of relics and mounted animal heads. There's a chance that something in there might be indicative of where the series is headed (a
diver's helmet?
Uncharted 2: Quest for Atlantis confirmed?)
The
Warhawk space is similar, featuring assets from the game. The best things about these Game Spaces are the interactive elements.
Uncharted has a locked door with a keypad input. The number can be found by carefully looking around and this will open another room for you to explore. There's also an
Uncharted-inspired
platforming mini-game. The
Warhawk space has a
sandtable for you and your clan to plan out your method for the upcoming match before jumping into a game.

If you've been able to make it out to any of the
i am 8-bit exhibitions in the past, then you've seen some incredibly cool artwork from the 8-bit movement. If you haven't, then just check out the
scads of pictures from their past two shows, or
pick up their book featuring high-quality photos of the pieces.
If you're in the Los Angeles area from August 14th through September 7th, then stop by the
World of Wonder storefront gallery at 6650 Hollywood Blvd. They're having an opening night party, and we'll be on hand to get plenty of pictures of the new art to pass along like we did
last time. Hopefully, we'll have more
Evil Mario this year.

One of the most overlooked aspects of E3 is a chance to look at the
Into the Pixel selections from each year. These are huge pieces of art inspired by and created for different video games. They often feature much deeper looks into the games they represent, just check out
this piece from
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood as an example.
Our favorites are probably the simple yet fun
Mokeskine-notebook from
Rayman Raving Rabbids, or the
Little Big Planet-esque
Puzzle World Twilight landscape painting. Check out our gallery below of images from the 2007 and 2008 shows and pick out your favorite. There's some really good desktop wallpaper fodder in there if you click the high rez button.
For more Into the Pixel art, check out the galleries on their
site. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the exhibition will be open to the public during this year's E for All, from October 3rd through the 5th.

After a long
bout of denial, Namco finally confesses to an English language version of
Eternal Sonata for the PS3. Formerly an Xbox 360 exclusive, the PS3 version will include brand-new content such as new cut scenes and characters.
Playable characters include Serenade and Crescendo, and players can now customize the look of members of their party with a variety of new outfits. New dungeons and different endings should add some flair to a tried-and-tested J-RPG.
Eternal Sonata is set for a Fall release for North America.

In anticipation of
next week's E3 Media and Business Summit, we've prepared bingo cards for each of the big press conferences, filled with some likely (and some not-so-likely) predictions for what each of the big three console makers intends to announce at arguably the biggest trade shows of the year.
Today's card is for Nintendo (special thanks to
Wii and DS Fanboy). Our fingers are crossed twice over (trust us, it's painful) for the no-brainer
Pikmin sequel. Click on each of the slides above for more information about our predictions. The folks at NWF and DSF got a little carried away, so check out their full predictions (
Wii,
DS).
Nintendo's E3 2008 press conference begins Tuesday, July 15, at 9:00am PT (that's 12:00 pm Joystiq Time / ET). As always, we'll be liveblogging the event, so you can play along in real-time with us. (Also: check out
all our press conference bingo cards, including some for Microsoft and Sony!)
