Could a new Prince of Persia game be in development? Folks over at gaming forum NeoGAF are speculating that Ubisoft may be developing the next Prince of Persia game, but others guess that it could be an unannounced Assassin's Creed Vita title, or maybe something else entirely...

Only three pictures were posted, the one above and two more which you can check out via the NeoGAF post. If it is a new PoP game, it'll be the first since 2010's The Forgotten Sands, and it looks like our hero will be wielding a bow and arrow this time around.

The Ubisoft E3 2012 press conference will be live streamed on G4TV.com at 3:00 PM PST Monday, June 4, 2012 so we'll be able to confirm who exactly is in the picture then. For now, who do you think it is?

Microsoft will reveal the Xbox Smart Glass Tablet, according to the Examiner. The device won't be shown on stage at the Microsoft presser though. Rumors indicate this tablet will only be shown to a select group of people, most likely publishers.

Keep reading to see a bunch of the Xbox Smart Glass' rumored specs.

An interesting piece of Killzone news dropped this morning. Website SiliconEra reports that Sony Computer Entertainment is recording a teaser for a future Killzone game. We don't know much about the game, except that it takes place after Killzone 3. According to the source, the potential future Killzone could be Killzone 4, or it could be a PS Vita game set in the Killzone universe, or it could be something else entirely. Not much to go on, I'll admit.

Here's the dialog from the supposed teaser, though:

"My sons and my daughters, today we take the first step toward our imperial future.

For years, this once-great nation has stagnated in the shadow of its enemies. Governed by scoundrels who flaunted the ideals established by my father, these traitors… these enemies of our race have diluted and exploited the triad of Duty, Obedience, and Loyalty.

This regime, this corrupt regime, has been dissolved. In its place does rise an era of stability and strength. A time of opportunity born from a promise that we shall return our people to their proper sphere of dominance."

Can you make any sense of it?

Rabbids Rumble has been rated by the Australian Classification website, despite not actually being announced by Ubisoft yet. The listing does not reveal any information regarding release window, or launch platforms. It does say the game has "very mild crude humour." Sounds legit!

My guess is Rabbids Rumble is actually an N64 title designed to make use of the Rumble Pack. My second guess would be: it's a Wii U launch title and it will be officially revealed next month at 2012's E3.

What's your Rabbids Rumble theory?

The Avengers video game may have a title, Avengers: Battle For Earth, thanks to recently registered domain name. The address, avengersbattleforearth.com, was registered by Marvel Characters Inc and is currently listed on Ubisoft's nameservers.

The Avengers movie made $200 million this weekend, I think it's safe to say someone is going to capitalize on that hype, and soon.

Criterion, the developer behind Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and the awesomely destructive Burnout series is hiring for an all new action racing game.

• NEWS: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Getting Three DLC Packs

The company has posted listings over at EA's career site, stating they're, "hiring and actively looking to add the world’s top talent to a team that just delivered the highest rated Need for Speed title yet." They go on to mention that this, "is a very exciting time at Criterion Games and anyone that joins us will be working on top selling, world class games, on cutting edge hardware in an extremely creative environment."

George Lucas' corporate empire appears to be cooking up something called Star Wars 1313, based on an assortment of domain registrations and a newly filed trademark. It all started with the news from Fusible that Lucasfilm registered a variety of domains related to "Star Wars 1313" on May 2, 2012. No less than 20 domains were registered in all, some in different regions of the world, with WHOIS lookups pointing to Lucasfilm as the owner on all of them.

The initial assumption was that these domains related to an upcoming film project due to the Lucasfilm tie, but a subsequent trademark discovery by Fusible seems to indicate that Star Wars 1313 is some sort of video game-related project. Lucasfilm has confirmed nothing, but with 2012's E3 conference approaching very quickly now, we'll hopefully hear more soon.

Harmonix may be working on a motion-control music game, but that's not even the cool part. If rumors are to be believed, the game would have combat, explorable words and a narrative element. Don't get too excited though, this information is definitely unconfirmed, and even it it was true, it the game would be for the next generation of consoles.

The rumors come to us thanks to Superannuation, an internet sleuth extraordinaire. He found a few references that pointed to the new title. First, a job listing appeared for a software engineer which mentions “brand new IP and next-generation consoles.”

According to an email reportedly sent from Valve president Gabe Newell, the company won't be announcing anything at E3 2012. The company will be showing off, "Stuff everyone already knows about." So if recent rumblings about a potential Half-Life 3 reveal got you putting on your Hope Shoes, it's time to quietly slip them off.

Here's the full text of the email:

"We are not announcing anything at E3. Really. We are not announcing Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 or Left 4 Dead 3. We are going to be showing stuff everyone already knows about (CS:Go, Dota 2, 10' UI, ...)"

I understand the human capacity for hope, and I hate to crush it, so let me be as generous as possible and suggest that 1) Valve could change its mind between now and then. 2) The email is a fake!  3) Someone will go back in time and change things just enough so that Valve will change their minds. 

I don't think any of these things are likely to happen, but you never know! Keep Hope Alive! The cake isn't a lie!

Valve announcement or not, E3 2012 is going to amazing. I promise. G4 will be all over it, so set your television and internet to go on June 5-7!

Half-Life 3 is such an eagerly awaited game, that we'll report on anything that even suggests it's coming. We've got some intriguing recent tidbits that are enough to at least be aware of. This is very, very far from any kind of official announcement, but here's the rumor.  Website Inside Gaming Daily reports that a site with the URL http://orange.half-life3.com/apache2-default/ exists. And when you go to it, there's a message reading simply:

"It works!"

Valve owns that domain, and the part of the domain that reads "apache2-default" is the default created when you install Apache, a Website engine, leading to speculation that Valve is preparing Half-Life 3's website. It could mean absolutely nothing.

Rumor has it Sega has cancelled Bayonetta 2 before the game was even announced. The rumors come from SPOnG who claim to have a source "familiar with the situation." Bayonetta was developed by Platinum Games, the dev team behind Anarchy Reigns and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Considering Platinum Games seems pretty busy and SEGA is currently restructuring, I'd say it's possible Bayonetta 2 has been placed on the back-burner for now. Personally, I enjoyed Bayonetta and hope another will be released one day.

SEGA has not commented on these rumors.
