This is as close to an official 'winner' so it does matter on some level.
The winners of E3 2015 have now been announced with Fallout 4 taking the big prize Honestly, there is nothing very surprising going on here There are a lot of safe choices being made throughout and nothing I'd quite call a[...]
Nintendo didn't have a great time at E3. The developer got the snot kicked out of them by their fan base for announcing spin-offs like Metroid Prime: Federation Force without a new main game in the series. Add on top of that, Zelda: Wii U was absent and no other major announcements, it just made […]
Nintendo's E3 Digital Event was somewhat lackluster this year, but where the game content wasn't thrilling, the puppets they used in between announcements were charming. There is something indicative of Nintendo and how odd yet wonderful they are about how they had Jim Henson Studios create puppet versions of the companies Business executives. I don't […]
Another week has gone by and that means it's time for another Category: Video Games. If you are joining us for the first time, this is the podcast where me, Laura Kate Dale and Andre Miller sit down to talk about the video game news of the week. Sorry for taking last wee off, but you will learn, there is […]
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 how to make the sufficient improvements, this could be a very good game indeed. Having said that though, I saw the game at E3 and it didn't […]
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 Final Fantasy, which is also coming to PlayStation 4. Sony totally haven't forgotten about the handheld though. They promise. To prove it, they released this trailer quietly on the internet […]
I’m saying, at E3 2015 this was the game that sticks in my mind most prominently Maybe I am just a sucker for the ocean or I have a real soft spot for games like this, but in a year as good as this, being the one that made me feel the most is no[...]
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 never quite realised its potential to stand next to the Halos or Call of Dutys of the world that it so desperately wanted to. One […]
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 fewer modes than the last in the series. (The greatest irony here being that we all know that this game may well end up being one of the best selling […]
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 on the title was over in mere seconds, to chorus of commentators saying: "Hey, woah, woah. What was that?!" That was exclusively down to the game's incredible art style. […]
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 and at absolute max capacity video games. I'm not actually sure I could fit in any more video games, as my brain is […]
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. Maybe I just missed it, but the buzz seems a little subdued for such a big title. Maybe that is down to the lack 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. It's what a lot of people want though, and on some levels, it's what I'm after. Even if my workload and sleep hours suffer. That's why […]
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 fake-outs, it finally happened. I have a hunch we are still around five years away from the game's release, but we you know, it is at […]
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 drab, brown and grey colour pallet. Fallout 4 on the other hand has a real sense of colour and vibrancy about it. Game director Todd […]
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 them emotional problems and turbulent relationships to deal with. I really was impressed. It seems Halo 5 is going to follow that trend too. In an interview with […]
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 proceedings. There's a reason for the game didn't show too, and you aren't going to like it. It seems Zelda is pretty far off. For what was […]
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 pass, it would be a bundle of that franchise. I have some bad news though. It doesn't look like it's happening. Speaking to GameInformer, […]
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. It seems that game is getting impossibly bigger due to the partnership too. But that game isn't a console exclusiv anymoree. During the PC Gaming Show, Hello Games […]
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 point though and it was worth it. Honestly, I didn't think we'd even see this game, but we got a pretty decent length look at the title during […]
