Microsoft’s E3 presentation, despite being a fairly stacked affair, still had some conspicuous absences in it’s lineup. Some prominent titles that hadn’t been mentioned in a while went unmentioned again, prompting many to speculate that they were being held back for discussion at Gamescom. Well, they were just about spot on. Microsoft held their press conference today […]
Some series are huge and everyone knows they will continue and get new games. Series like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Mario will always have new games coming out. But other franchises are not as certain. Some game franchises have gone dormant or faded away. And now people are wondering: Will we get […]
Going into this conference I was concerned EA might not have enough to show or that they would repeat the mistakes of past conferences. Awkward moments, forced humor and long dragged out segments. And sadly all of this came true. The EA conference was an abysmal trainwreck that felt long with very little to actually […]
It’s press conference day once again for E3 and Microsoft opens the show with expected announcements and also some surprises. Claiming that this upcoming year is “the greatest lineup in Xbox history” is quite something, did Microsoft back that up in a big way? Halo 5: Guardians started things with a co-op campaign demo. 343 […]
Recently, Microsoft and 343 Industries released Halo 3: ODST for The Master Chief Collection. Going back to this game after years away from it, I was surprised at how different it felt from other Halo titles that Bungie made. At the time I remember loving the game, but firing ODST up in 2015 on an […]
E3 2015 is coming soon and so is the Square Enix E3 Conference. Square-Enix is a strange company. Known primarily for their hugely successful and long running Final Fantasy series (and other JRPGs), the company has expanded more in the last few years. They now publish all sorts of games from different studios around the world. […]
E3 is that time of the year where all the big game publishers and developers put on their nicest clothes and awkwardly announce what we will be playing in next year or so. Ubisoft will once again have a media event and once again Aisha Tyler will be the host. I like Aisha, but sadly […]
E3 will soon be here. Tons of developers and publishers and other companies crammed into the LA Convention Center, all of them there to discuss games and gaming related stuff. It is a hellish nightmare. But also, its one of the most exciting times in the games industry. EA will once again take to the […]
For the first time ever, Bethesda will get up on stage and have their own press conference at E3. In years past the company has brought games to E3 and has even had games like Fallout 3 on stage at other companies’ conferences. But now Bethesda thinks they have enough big and exciting news to warrant […]
With every new year inevitably comes a new installment in the dependably monolithic FIFA game franchise. It’s become an annual routine for your average sports game fan, dutifully marching out to the shops and picking up the latest iteration regardless of how much has actually changed from last year’s version. Every now and then though it is perceived […]
