GC 2007: Halo 3 Forge Editor
Remember that Halo 3 news that we thought was gonna be hyped by a parking lot ferris wheel? Well, we got it! Bungie has announced a map editor for Halo 3, called Forge. Except this map editor doesn't work as a traditional one would.
Generally, there is one player during a forge map who can change the course. Though, this "forger" isn't a part of the in-game combat. This map editor won't allow you to change terrain either, it will stay how Bungie wanted it to be. Instead, you can create and delete spawn points, weapons, vehicles, and more throughout the course. These can be added and deleted by the "forger" as the match goes on.
To prevent overuse of memory, the "forger" will get a certain amount of currency (not real money) in the beginning of the match, so anything that is added will use up some of your currency, and once your out of currency, then that's as much your 360s memory can take. Remove objects and you'll get currency back as well. Hmm.... I imagine we could have some fun tournaments in this game mode....
As for spawn points, a certain amount must stay intact. Vehicles and weapons also cannot be removed while in use by a player either. That goes without saying. I'm going to admit, it's a very interesting feature. But is the "forger" just gonna be sitting bored watching the match, or playing jokes on people by deleting a warthog just as your about to get in? We'll have to see how that plays out....

GC 2007: Halo 3 Parking Lot :P
Well, Microsoft hasn't said much about Halo 3 at GC 2007 yet, but we can guarentee something huge will be announced. I mean, if they got a giant Halo 3 Ferris Wheel just lying around at the Leizpig Convention Center, then they're bound to cough up something.
Unfortunetely, there are no Halo 3 demos playable on the show floor, but there's still chance we'll find out something. Just don't lose hope just yet....

GC 2007: Super Mario Galaxy News
UPDATE: If you look closely at the Super Mario Galaxy trailer from E3 2007, you can see Mario's Boo form for a couple seconds. In case you missed it, here's the trailer again:
Apparently, in Super Mario Galaxy there will be high emphasis in transforming into other creatures. At E3 2007, we found out that Mario will be turning into a bee. And now, at GC 2007, we found out that Mario can turn into a boo. Yes, that's right a boo.
In past Mario games, such as Paper Mario, by using by Boo you could become transparent and go through walls and enemies. However, in Paper Mario you couldn't move while you were invisible. So, I'd bet this ability would be use in a very similar way in Super Mario Galaxy.

GC 2007: Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity Announced
A sequal to Sonic Riders has been announced at GC today. It has been dubbed Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It will be coming out for both the PS2 and the Wii next February at an MSRP of $49.99. This time around, nothing has yet been said about a PC version, and apparently Sega continues to endorse the PS2, as with many other developers. Strange, isn't it?
As of now, the Wii version will be using the controller's motion sensitivity instead of the Wii Wheel, which should be available by the time this game ships. But, we'll continue to keep you guys posted.
