It was a very pre-mature knock out for Britain's Ricky Hatton in his "fight" against the Pacman, Manny Pacquiao, and I say that's a darned good way to end this week in gaming news (the astounding fight, I mean, not Hatton's shocking cuddle time with the floor), which, in itself also saw an intense fight in and out of the ring. From big games' updates to last-minute reveals, this edition of the QuickJump QuickPeek is a definite winner. And we've got it all stored here for you. Quick as a flash, like the Pacman's deciding left hook.

Ever feel like you've never been cool enough to enter a club, or that you're too sober to get into Alcoholics Anonymous? We can tell you right now that the emotional blow is like being hit by lead pipe in the back: excrutiatingly painful but it straightens you out some.

The E3 Media and Business Summit, once proudly seen by fans everywhere as The E3 Gamer's Gankfest and Freeplay Galore, seems to be firmly in the hands of game makers at large. Doug Lowenstein, President of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), told folks at GameSpot that the ESA will be more hands-off in the invitation process for next year's event. Instead, the list of people who will get an invitation will be based upon recommendations made by ESA members rather than by the the ESA itself.

What does this mean? In business terms, Lowenstein is quoted by GameSpot as saying, "[T]he point is for attendees to be the people participants want to see in one-on-one meetings...[but] that is not for me to say or influence." In practical terms, it means that because the members of the ESA is comprised of big-name game and console makers from Activision to Ubisoft (is there a company starting with a "Z" somewhere?), the people who will be visiting the event will either be big names in media, important members of the gaming press, or possibly PR people for the different companies.

Darn.

Guess we'll just have to visit the other E3 then.

Pterry the Pturtle OWNS you! Just kidding. He's just going to roll you over with his charm.

Pterry is the star of Freeverse Software's upcoming game TotemBall, one-quarter music game, and three-quarters opportunity to do crazy gestures on the the Xbox Live Vision Camera. How come? Well, it's because you control Pterry with your movements on the camera. It also has a bunch of game modes, as the Gamerscore Blog happens to mention:

• TotemBall – Camera-controlled platforming gameplay – gamers control the characters in the game by moving their hands in the air and gesturing in front of the camera
• Juggling - Co-op juggling game with one player using Xbox Live Vision and the other player “juggling” totems with the controller
• Pinball - Play any of the bonus pinball tables that have been unlocked through regular TotemBall play
• Freeplay – Explore the game with no time pressure and infinite lives – great mode for kids
• Super Challenge – Play the entire game with one life and a time limit in each level
• TotemJam – Freely mix and match the game’s musical totems – another fun exploration game for kids
  

If you're patient, and you watch the clock, you can start downloading the game as part of Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, starting at 1 am PST. Good luck, gamers, and enjoy!
