Before E3 there were very few in the gaming community who knew anything about Contrast. After the show this has changed rapidly and furiously. This intriguing mystery/puzzle game was being shown at few locations on the E3 floor and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Of course the game was being shown at the Focus Home Interactive booth, but the amazing part for the devs of this title is that they were also playable at the PS4 booth as well as the PSN couch. With...
Bungie has just recently released a boatload of new Destiny screenshots showing off what we saw during their E3 Presentation, I figured I’d take the time to break down what some of them are for the uninitiated. Clicking on any screenshot will give you the full-size HD version. – – – – – – This is a “Devil Walker” (commonly known as Spider Tank). It has a large cannon on top that fires high explosive rounds, and two small...
Now that E3 is over and I have had some time to take it all in it has dawned on me that this was the pinnacle of gaming conferences. We saw so much. From the huge leap we are making to the next generation to the not so playful jabbing from one console maker to another, it truly has been an epic event. Each year players get extremely excited for this particular expo, but this year was something so entirely different. There we so many questions surrounding both Sony and...
At E3 this year, one of the most eagerly awaited games among Nintendo fans was Mario Kart 8, the next big Mario Kart game set for release in Spring 2014. The new game keeps what everyone loves about Mario Kart with the addition of HD graphics and anti-gravity. I got my chance to race on three courses from the upcoming game. The first thing I will say is that this clearly is a Mario Kart game. It plays exactly like past games. Everything from the boost...
One of the most anticipated Nintendo games this year leading up to E3 was the 3D Mario action game Nintendo promised they would reveal at the show. When Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed Super Mario 3D World, fans were quite shocked. It’s a little different than we all expected, but my short hands-on time with the game proved that it is a Mario game with a lot of promise. Super Mario 3D World looks and plays exactly like Super Mario 3D Land on Nintendo 3DS...
Being a fan of the Pikmin series since its debut in 2001, I was very excited to get my hands on the latest Pikmin game coming out in August on Wii U. Pikmin 3 may not contain any old characters aside from the Pikmin, but contains a brand new control scheme, pretty visuals, and new ways to command your Pikmin army. I got to play co-op in one stage of mission mode. The level I played is one Nintendo has shown in the past. It uses both red Pikmin and the new Rock Pikmin...
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has always been one of my favorite Zelda games to date. It was also the game that introduced me to the entire series. I was very excited when Nintendo revealed that an HD remake of Wind Waker would be arriving this year. I was even more excited to actually go hands on with a small portion of the game as well. When seeing the game running for the first time, I was in awe of how pretty the game looks in high definition. The visual...
Seriously y’all we saw some awesome announcements yesterday from EA, Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft. We saw great trailers from games we already knew were coming, we saw gameplay from games just announced. Some of the press conferences were great others were really… not so great. Ubisoft was one of those bad conferences, straight up. Aisha Tyler is great in Friends, bad in E3 press conferences. When your press conference is known for being awkward, #girlwood, maybe...
Well, this is pretty funny. One of the biggest call-to-arms of the PlayStation 3/4 is it’s free to play online, but now it’s been confirmed that you must have purchased a $50 subscription to PlayStation Plus in order to use the online gaming features of the PlayStation 4. “PS4 gamers who aren’t Plus members can still enjoy single-player games for free…and access to media services won’t require Plus” — PlayStation (@PlayStation) June 11...
Sony today announced at their E3 briefing that the PlayStation 4 will be retailing for three-hundred-and-ninety-nine US Dollars. That’s $100 less than the Xbox One.
