E3 2012: Ubisoft Supporting Wii U With 8 Titles Through First Half 2013
Ubisoft has easily been one of my favorite developers over the last couple of years. They have been consistently strong with their major releases, if you exclude their shovelware titles, and have shown fantastic support for new hardware launches. Their PS Vita launch support included some absolute hits, along with a dud or two. Regardless, Ubisoft committed to five launch titles for the PS Vita mo...[Read More]
E3 2012: Star Trek Details Revealed

While I’ve had to deal with depressingly disappointing news in the lead-up to the release of Star Trek, I’ve enjoyed everything else on the path. Today is, short of my discovering the ga...[Read More]

E3 2012: SimCity
I’m going to come right out and say it: I don’t care about SimCity on Facebook. I’d rather load up my Special Edition of SimCity 2000 and play that for hours than play it on Facebook. In fact, that’s not a bad idea…I’ll just have to dig my CD out of my games box and get it installed for some weekend play for the next year until I can get my hands on Maxis/EAR...[Read More]
E3 2012: Ubisoft Gives Me More Rayman with Rayman Legends
Last year’s Rayman Origins was one of the most surprising and refreshing titles I’ve played in a very, very long time. It was a perfect platformer; simultaneously the best platformer of its entire console generation and one of the best platformers of any console generation to date. Part of its success was its return to classic 2D platforming roots, but a larger part of its success, in ...[Read More]

E3 2012: Harmonix Announces Dance Central 3
If rhythm is a dancer, then call me rhythm. Oh, snap! Now that I feel incredibly old for making a musical reference that only about 20% of you will understand, let’s get to the point! Last October, about a week before my 29th birthday, Dance Central 2 was released to critical acclaim. Today, at the Microsoft E3 press conference down in sunny, clear skies Los Angeles, CA, Dance Central 3 was ...[Read More]
Review: Diablo 3
Nearly a decade in the making, Diablo 3 finally decided to grace the gaming public with its presence, and after all the login errors settled, what were we left with? A solid Diablo experience that saw upgrades to many of the core systems and a pretty, though not overwhelming, visual presentation. In the end I was satisfied but still wanting more; read on for more details.
