So E3 is well and truly over. Every company has shown their wares, and there is a lot to pour over. I saw a ton of games out at the LA Convention Centre, approaching over 50, and there is a whole bunch I want to give recognition to. As is seemingly mandatory, in the wake […]
I'm not really a 'Zelda guy'. I have vague memories of playing Link's Awakening on my GameBoy a couple decades ago, but other than that, I've only dabbled in the series. That isn't anything to do with the franchise's quality mind, more I have just never found the time to play the classics. The idea of […]
ReCore has been somewhat illusive in terms of unbroken gameplay. There has been a lot of wondering about what the game actually is and how it would play, but worry no longer. While this isn't ideal footage, GameSpot have taken some offscreen video of the game in action. It looks like a third person action […]
By Madeline Ricchiuto https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=8yL88PejOh8 "Its basically Dark Souls meets Spelunky" was how this game was first described to me, and I have to say it lives up to that comparison. Necropolis is a roguelike third-person action game in which you (and up to three friends, or none) play as a thief trying to find the […]

The 1 v 4 asymmetric game style should be familiar for those who played Evolve, for Dead […]
E3 is a time when the whole community talk about games in a massive way. Anyeone with even a passing interest in games, will sit down, watch a couple press conferences and talk about it on Twitter or Facebook. That is the focus of this new release from Brandwatch. Taking into account social media presence, the […]
While I will most certainly will be doing longer form previews all this week, especially for the titles I know you want covered, time is short right now and I won't get time to sit down until later. With that in mind, I thought I'd just share all my reaction tweets from the games I […]
The Xbox One S looks like a really clever redesign of the hulking Xbox One. It's compact, takes away a lot of nonsense, and is supposedly even more powerful than the first console. One thing the Xbox One S doesn't have though is a Kinect port. For a console that was once bundled with the […]
While I wish there was much more to Mass Effect's Andromeda's showing at E3 this year, what was shown was pretty stunning. I can't wait to get stuck into the title, as far away as it still seems. One domino has dropped on that game over Twitter though. Producer Michael Gamble has revealed the lead's […]
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has had a rough go of it in terms of fan perception, becoming the most disliked trailer of all time on YouTube. This is largely due to the game's predictable future war setting, which hasn't seemed to mesh with what fans are wanting. . Infinity Ward did try and go quite […]
Crash Bandicoot news has been circling for quite some time now, so people expect to hear big things from this year's sony press conference on the bandicoot front. Well, we can at least say that there is 'some news' here. It's been announced that Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped […]
Bend Studios has quite a cult following in the Sony community. Syphon Filter and Uncharted: Golden Abyss certainly has some major cult fans, and the developer looks to have just been called up to the big leagues. It got not just one but two showings at E3 this year with a short trailer to show […]
Marvel have been pretty tepid about getting into AAA games in a major way over the last few years. People have begged for quality titles featuring their characters, but it rarely came to pass. It looks like they are getting in big now though as they've announced that the often brilliant Insomniac Games are taking […]
So, it looks like Hideo Kojima has certainly been busy. Many thought he wouldn't show up tonight on account of not having much time to make a game, but he has indeed come with the goods this year at E3. His new game is called Death Stranding, and it got a weird and wonderful cinematic […]
Quantic Dream are developer known for their choice based gaming. They've made a name on it, and, if nothing else, generally put out fascinating titles based on the idea of narrative choice, for good or for ill. In the trailer, it's hard to know if anything has changed during Detroit Become Human's production, but what […]
Rocksteady said they were done with Batman after Arkham Knight, but it looks like they are dipping their toes back into the franchise at least once more. It was announced at Sony's E3 conference tonight that the company is working on Batman VR. Not much more was said except that it's coming in October and […]
As had been long rumoured, Resident Evil 7 was announced tonight at Sony's E3 Press Conference, but few would have expected it to land quite like this. Many thought the game would get a reboot in terms of themes, but this looks like a hard reboot. It's first person, properly survival horror, and also, to top […]
Horizon Zero Dawn has shown us a lot of its concept, environments and story thus far, and I' fully on board. I can't wait for it. One thing that has remained illusive though is how it actually plays. That was rectified in tonight's E3 Press Conference. We got a really extended look at how the […]
There isn't a lot to The Last Guardian this year at E3, after the game's triumphant return last year from development hell. Honestly, I think that is great. The trailer shown at Sony's E3 conference didn't show too much gameplay. Honestly though, the less we see of the game at this point the better. It […]
Being in the room for the PlayStation conference and the God of War reveal as pretty special. I have little history with the franchise, and I have to say I didn't much care for the leak of the game that had hit a few months ago. What was shown was not like usual God of […]
