During their E3 Digital Event earlier today, Nintendo finally revealed the long in development Legend of Zelda for Wii U.
There were quite a few gems from tonight’s Sony press conference but one in particular stood out to me above all others.

I made friends over PlayStation Network as we played against and killed each other in multiple free-for-all Survival matches. You can imagine my delight when Ubisoft showed off a multiplayer alpha demo of Rainbow Six Siege. The demo displayed a lot of the cool next-gen tricks that developers are incorporating...
