E3 2011
E3 2011: Indiecade
At E3, you can expect to see long lines of eager gamers waiting to play a small slice of that really great game. You expect to see the cosplay and intricately themed booths. You don’t expect to put Fixodent and a magnet on your tongue. Or have a brief bit of panic while blind and underwater, hiding and hunting an invisible enemy.
Review: Akimi Village (PSN)
For several months PS3 owners have been most jealous of their 360 counterparts as they’ve been the recipients of all the NinjaBee goodness. Fortunately for the Sony lovers, NinjaBee heard their cries and recently released Akimi Village. As a game that I like to call Keflings version 1.5, how does it hold up to previous offerings?
E3 2011: Nano Assault
This year being my first at E3, I sought to find a definition for the experience. After some thought, I realize it’s about the discovery of gems. Those games you weren’t expecting to see but leave a mark long after the expo doors close. For me, this is one of those games. Majesco’s Nano Assault was, surprisingly, among my favorite games of E3.
E3 2011: Razer
This years’ offering at E3 by Razer contained a little of their current offerings with a little of some interesting new devices. I’ll be highlighting their new products, including new mice, keyboards, headsets and even discuss the Switchblade project, which holds much promise. Fans of the Portal or Star Wars franchises will be catered to quite nicely with the peripherals on offer.
E3 2011: Sonic Generations
Last month I was privileged enough to get my hands on the Green Hill Zone remake in Sonic Generations, both in Classic mode and Modern mode. Everything I had been hoping to see in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, but was ultimately not provided in that abysmal title, was now in my hands with Sonic Generations. The sense of wonder and enjoyment that I have long been missing from Sonic games is set ...[Read More]
E3 2011: Luigi’s Mansion 2
If you can believe it, it has been ten years since Luigi “won” a new mansion and had to rescue his brother from the clutches of the nefarious spirits within using a modified vacuum cleaner, a Game Boy Horror and a flashlight. Luigi’s Mansion for the GameCube earned promising remarks and scores from critics; so much so that it almost begged for a sequel, but word of one never came...[Read More]
E3 2011: Kirby Wii
Pop Star’s pink puff-ball will be returning to the Wii, nearly one year after going 2-D–traversing hazardous stitching and weaves–in Epic Yarn, in his newest title: Kirby Wii (tentative title). Kirby Wii maintains the traditional Kirby gaming experience while adding on new-ish features to the mix. Kirby’s newest escapade in Pop Star heralds yet another one of Nintendo’...[Read More]
E3 2011: Nyko
In addition to all of the crazy games debuted at E3, gaming accessories are a must-see. From the larger, well-known companies to the smaller ones ready to make a big splash, you never know what surprises are in store. I was thrilled when I had to chance to book an appointment with Nyko, as I absolutely love the Charge Station for our 360 controllers, and was excited to see what goodies they had to...[Read More]
E3 2011: Captain America: Super Soldier
Superhero video games do not exactly have a reputation for excellence. For every X-Men Arcade, there are two Superman 64s. When you get into superhero video games that are released as tie-ins to superhero movies, it gets even worse. For every Spider-Man 2, there are five games like…well…Spider-Man 3. So while I await the release of any superhero game with great anticipation, due to the...[Read More]
E3 2011: SSX
The biggest fear I had walking into E3 was seeing SSX going the way of many sitcoms…serious. SSX has always bordered on the line of parody as far as sports games go: vibrant characters with their own definable styles, mountains had their own flavor, and the tricks that made the game what it is are still burned into my brain. But after seeing the pre-E3 teaser trailer it began to seem as though we ...[Read More]
