Ubisoft are generally known having bonkers E3 press conferences with excitable hosts as well as the occasional bizarre indulgence in musical numbers and even onstage laser fights. This year was a little shorter and sweeter than usual, but was no less outlandish than usual with Aisha Tyler reprising her presenting role once again, this time sporting […]
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 […]
Bethesda’s first E3 press conference was a lean and focused event. No celebrities, no concerts, no weird comedy skits, none of that. Just games. Not many, but what they lacked in quantity they more than made up for in quality, at least from what we saw. The Pre-Show The night started with a small pre-show […]
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 […]
