Double Fine and Ron Gilbert have put together their next original title The Cave and are promising an adventure they describe as odd and compelling. The trailer video teases a good bit of platforming action as 3 adventurers stumble upon a subterranean amusement park and a medieval castle as well as a intercontinental ballistic missile. An adventure game at heart the team at Double Fine believes this title might be something special once it is launched in early 2013...

EA Sports sure has been busy. What with the changes that they are making to FIFA 13 (written by yours truly here), and with the NHL playoffs currently in the Semi-Final stage, EA is currently working hard on bringing the most realistic ice hockey experience that can be delivered.

E3 is right around the corner, so it is time to start with my E3 predictions. Last year, my predictions were actually pretty spot on, predicting the existence of Dance Central 2 and YouTube on Xbox 360.

All I know is they will focus more on stuff releasing in 2012 and there will be a major focus on the Xbox 360 as an entertainment...

Innovation in games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band has now been reduced to,”Let’s see what band we can lock up for this month’s DLC”.
