E3 2013 – Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
This is my shortest time spent with a video game at E3 2013 this year, and it saddens me greatly because it was Donkey Kong Country. With that said, the time might have been short, but the addictiveness of it was great. Let's get right into it.
E3 2013 – Mario Kart 8
This was the first demo that I tried out in the Nintendo Press area at E3. I've been a huge fan of Mario Kart since my introduction to it on the N64 (sorry SNES peeps, I was a Sega guy until the bitter end -- thus, my first MK was on the N64 after the Dreamcast crapped out).

E3 2013 – The Wonderful 101
What if Pikiman and Viewtiful Joe got together, went out for some drinks, became great friends, decided that friendship wasn't enough, got married and had a baby? You would get The Wonderful 101. And a 'wonderful' child it would be.
E3 2013 – Disney Infinity
The first time I saw this game from a distance I thought 'Skylanders' with Disney characters. It comes with a base, figurines to use on it and some kind of flat objects that resemble pogs from the 90s. Some cynical gaming media would probably stick with that label and move on. Thankfully, Disney Infinity is something more.

GRID 2
Codemasters has made a career of perfecting driving games. From GRID to F1 to DiRT, the developer has certainly done its best work when it comes to players behind the wheel of a mean machine. Sometimes their quest to produce the best ends up outshining some major big budgeted driving simulators.
