E3 2012
E3 2012: Assassin’s Creed III
With Assassin’s Creed III due to release just days after my birthday, I’m definitely looking forward to an early review copy arriving before/on the 30th anniversary of my birth (hint hint, Ubisoft). I had already been excited with all of the information that we had been exposed to since its announcement, but the content featured for this title at the Ubisoft and Sony press conferences ...[Read More]
E3 2012: Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Screenshots Released
I enjoy my fair share of fighting games. It’s been a while since I’ve played a Tekken title, but E3 2012 has been a great vehicle for Namco Bandai’s attempt to reinvigorate my interest in the series. New screenshots have been released for an upcoming fighting title from Namco Bandai: Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Everyone knows the original, and there will definitely be a great deal o...[Read More]
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
Falling just short of Lord of the Rings in its race for the top of my geekdom list, Star Trek had an incredibly wonderful E3 2011 showing, and seems to be gearing up for an even better E3 2012 showing. 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: Microsoft Media Briefing Round-Up
When it comes to Microsoft, I’ll admit I’m a huge fan of what they bring to the table. Today, Microsoft brings lots of new things to Xbox, and here is the big round-up of what has been announced. Below will include some small details and personal thoughts along with videos to each game. Enjoy, and while you’re at it, give a comment below on your thoughts towards these major annou...[Read More]
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Release Date Revealed
As much as I was hoping that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive would be included as a Summer of Arcade title along with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, making Summer of Arcade 2012 one of the best downloadable events EVAR, I can at least take solace in the fact that we finally have a solid, confirmed release date for this trip to my past. If only I didn’t have to wait until AUGUST 21 to get ...[Read More]
E3 2012: South Park: The Stick of Truth Coming March 5, Favoring 360
While the fate of the South Park RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth, was considered up in the air by many due to THQ’s recent problems, Microsoft has made an effort to assuage our fears and reaffirm our hopes during their E3 press conference today, as they had Trey Parker and Matt Stone present the E3 2012 trailer for their title. Why was this multi-platform title presented at the Microsoft...[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]
Star Wars 1313 Announced
At the end of last week, we were told that a new Star Wars video game franchise would be announced/revealed/teased over the course of this week and E3. The preliminary information is in, with the new franchise taking the name of Star Wars 1313, confirming rumors caused by LucasArts’ registration of the starwars1313.com domain name earlier this year. We have information and one piece of high ...[Read More]
Tomb Raider – Crossroads Trailer Revealed
Depending on the content, length, and quality put into it, there are times when a video game trailer can be considered a short film, in my opinion. Such is the case with the new Tomb Raider trailer, called Crossroads. You know…there was a full length film about an attractive woman finding her way through life called Crossr…OH MY GOD. THE MARCH 5TH, 2013 TOMB RAIDER IS NOT A REBOOT OF T...[Read More]
