E3 2012

Shedding Some Light on Metro

E3 finished a little over a week ago, and there are so many games to catch up on and learn more about. How many new games are you excited for? How much are you looking forward to? Honestly, speaking for myself, there were so many announcements that I know I won’t have enough money to purchase all of the games and accessories that I want to get my hands on, and that’s just talking about...[Read More]

E3 2012: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth

When Ubisoft pushed out PowerUp Heroes last year, I immediately saw it as a shovelware title. There was little promotion in the lead-up to it, and it was just suddenly released at a budget price point. When the title showed up at my door, I gave it a try, and found myself pleasantly surprised. I immediately felt like I was back on the playground during recess, running around pretending to be super...[Read More]

Marooners’ Talk: Episode 032 – “The Most Authentic Podcast Ever”

Initially, “The Most Authentic Podcast Ever,” the 32nd episode of Marooners’ Talk, was going to focus solely on the wrap-up of E3 2012. The day before we recorded, however, Tom McShea’s “interview” with Greg Goodrich on Medal of Honor Warfighter for GameSpot came to our attention. Tom McShea is a “video game journalist” holding the position of “...[Read More]

E3 2012: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

See, because it’s revenge…and vengeance…Revengeance. Ok, so ignore the fact that “revenge” and “vengeance” are synonyms with nearly identical definitions. Think of it as just a really badass sounding name, and when you think of it that way, you’ll realize that it doesn’t HAVE to make sense, it just HAS to sound badass. Which it does. Regardless...[Read More]

E3 2012: Pro Evolution Soccer 2013

Last year’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 was a strong effort on Konami’s part, but fell just short of its perennial competitor, FIFA, in terms of polish and gameplay. With Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, Konami seems to be making a determined effort to close the gap and match, if not overtake, the monster in its closet. Their E3 2012 showing for Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, due this fall, has re...[Read More]

E3 2012: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate

Like I said, my first look at the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 trailer came with no knowledge of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate’s existence or storyline. I was certain that the warrior challenging Dracula at the end could be none other than Alucard, and as I did a bit of research, I discovered similar speculation revolving around a title called Castlevania: Lords of Sh...[Read More]

E3 2012: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Even now, nearly two years after its release, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a beautiful game. I watched my wife play through the entire game, through the ending (which I have to assume has been sufficiently spoiled by the new Lords of Shadow 2 trailer released by Konami in the lead-up to E3 last week). Since 2010, I have been slowly making my way through the game, a chapter at a time. As we touc...[Read More]

E3 2012: The Elder Scrolls Online Teaser

Zenimax released the new teaser for the anticipated online version of their popular franchise, The Elder Scrolls. Admittedly, the tease doesn’t show much but take a look for yourself. We get to see a Nord, an Elf, and someone that looks like they could be in the Dark Brotherhood or the Thieves’ Guild, and that’s about it. It’s one of those “blink and you’ll miss...[Read More]

E3 2012: Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Announced for PS Vita

For the first time, a full Assassin’s Creed experience is making its way to a handheld device: the PS Vita. Announced at E3 2012, Assassin’s Creed III Liberation takes place in 18th century New Orleans, chronologically, if not quite geographically, similar to Connor’s journey in Assassin’s Creed III. Another first for the series is the female protagonist, an assassin of Fre...[Read More]
