NYCC 2013: Dark Souls II Hands On Preview + Interview with Namco Bandai Community Manager J. Kartje

Austin and I got some hands on time with Namco Bandai’s upcoming death simulator Dark Souls II and I for one couldn’t get enough of it. This new entry in the Souls series looks to have everything people loved about both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls combined, along with a few new tricks up its sleeve.

NYCC 2013: Preview: The Legend Of Zelda – A Link Between Worlds

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the new spiritual successor to the SNES classic A Link To The Past, was on display at NYCC 2013 and from the preview on display, it’s going to be a fun time.

NYCC 2013: Hands On With Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, may be a mouthful of a title but it looks like it’s going to be a handful of a game. I was able to snag a hands-on 15 minute demo on PS Vita as well as 3DS where I tracked Catwoman through the Gotham city skyline and walked away liking what I saw. Developed by Aramature Studio, a team comprising of former members of Retro Studios, Blackgate is an adventure that is it’s own entity. Not simply a gimped version of its console...
