The Xbox One announced that it was getting a 1TB consoles a few weeks prior to E3. A 500GB hard drive just isn't big enough for the size of next

The Last Guardian remerged this E3, meaning the now mythical game that had retreated into hiding, finally poked its head out to smell the air once again.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided could be a very interesting game. Human Revolution was a very solid base from which to build on, and if Eidos Montreal figure out

The Vita got one solitary mention during the Sony E3 Press conference, but I'd be surprised if you remembered. It was name dropped alongside World of

We learnt a month or two ago that we likely won't hear from Cyberpunk 2077 until at least 2017.That doesn't mean it isn't progressing though. The game

Regrettably, I didn't get any time with Rise of the Tomb Raider at E3. I really wish I had, but sadly, there is only so much you can do. There is a way to

So this was unexpected, just as much for me as it probably is for you. This year's E3 has everyone I know somewhat excited about AAA games again. It seems

Killzone just never revved my engine. It always felt a little bit like a B tier shooter parading as an A grade one. The concept was sound, but it just

There has been a lot of criticism of Star Wars: Battlefront since it was outlined at Star Wars Celebration, following the announcement of fewer maps and

Cuphead has been one of Microsoft’s most interesting, accidental successes. The game showed up last year at E3 as part of the ID@Xbox montage. The focus

This almost feels obligatory. Of course Fallout 4 is going to get nominated for game of the show a few months before it comes out. It's Fallout 4. This

So, as most of you couldn't escape this week, it's been E3. The show came to a close yesterday and all of us out at the expo are tired, hungover, worn out

When Dark Souls 3 was announced for early next year, it raised some eyebrows. With Bloodborne only out in March, how could From Software have the time to

For a game that is out in just a few months, I was surprised how little Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain crossed my focus during this year'ss E3.

One story I didn't get to during the PlayStation press conference was the a new Hitman game had been announced. It was simply called Hitman and is out

Nintendo were probably the first major game publisher to jump onto the VR wagon back in 1994 with the famous VirtualBoy. That was an absolute mess of a

A few months ago I was bemoaning the length of the Witcher 3. I adore big adventures, but they can become huge a hassle when they monopolise your time.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is easily one of the biggest single game announcements of this year's E3. The game has been long asked for by fans, and after a few

One of the most surprising things about the Fallout 4 reveal was that the game actually has a lot of vibrancy about it. Fallout 3 was almost iconic in its

Halo 4 was easily the most accomplished narrative in the Halo universe, in my book. It did a great job of humanising these iconic characters and giving

One of the biggest stories of E3 was undoubtedly that the Xbox One was going to support Xbox 360 games. The feature has been long asked for, so it's good

Zelda Wii U was one of the clear absentees of E3. In a Nintendo Digital conference that could have sorely needed it, the game could have really livened up

People complain about remasters a lot, but quite a lot still ask for Mass Effect to get a revamped treatment. It seems that if any game was going to get a

There are sure to be a ton of pretty neat special editions out this year, with such a packed holiday. For me Halo 5 is probably one of the most important

Mirror's Edge is about parkour and melee fighting, meaning it's had a pretty strict no guns policy thus far. Some fans had worried that in order to make

So I'm not quite sure what is happening here, but it is interesting. Beyond Good and Evil 2 has long been one of the most asked for games by a very vocal

No Man's Sky has been one of the poster children for PlayStation 4, after the publisher snapped up the game when buzz first hit around its announcement.

Microsoft's announcement that the Xbox One would be backwards compatible was one of the biggest stories of the show so far. Which is a little sad when you

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 is a very interesting project. It has the chance to completely revamp the long dormant series. That is exciting. However, I can't

Square Enix had a whole lot of fun of faking people out about a Kingdom Hearts 3 announcement during their press conference. Eventually they got to the
