PS3 version previewed Rarely do I see a game that, over the course of the demo, delivers as many unique impressions during the first ten seconds as it does the last five minutes. Seeing the Prince escort a thin female companion whilst trying to evade pools of black corruption immediately resurrected tearful memories of everyone’s collective art-house favorite, Ico. But unlike the virtually helples...[Read More]

King’s Bounty: The Legend Toward the end of the Atari interview, Eric and I were about to head on to Sega when I was stopped, if not dumfounded by a game. Being one of the biggest Heroes of Might and Magic fans on the face of the planet, I couldn’t help but notice a game that looked quite familiar to the recently released Heroes of Might and Magic 5. As I glanced a little closer, I noticed that th...[Read More]

360 version previewed Far Cry 2 was one of the most graphically impressive games I’ve ever seen. Atmosphere is a challenging component of immersion, but Far Cry delivered the balmy African savannah with remarkable success. It was probably a crisp 60 degrees in the suite, but I could almost feel the sweat rolling down my back whilst looking at the title. Visuals on the Crysis level of awesome was a...[Read More]

Nintendo Safety. It’s a luxury granted exclusively to the confident and victorious or, relative to our spectrum, Nintendo of America and their massively successful Wii and DS platforms. Their annual E3 Media Briefing, which had previously been witness to infamous acts of delirious journalistic atrocities, was relatively calm, cool, and, to put it bluntly; unflattering. Pre-show speculation was ram...[Read More]

Now here’s a title that I honestly never expected I’d be raving to you about. Ubisoft’s Shaun White Snowboarding for the Nintendo Wii is honestly one of the most fun titles we played all day today. Sure, the concept is rooted in the Wii Fit minigame original, but thankfully this title goes well beyond the functionality of that. Earlier today while meeting with Ubisoft, we were given the opportunit...[Read More]

Nintendo As is the case every year at E3, I get pretty excited going into the Nintendo conference. Maybe it’s my enduring love for the company that has been with me since my days of youth or it’s just the fact that I love their innovative ideas that keeps me hooked. Thus, last year I was pretty excited to see some of the stuff that Nintendo had up their sleeves. Unfortunately, seeing Nintendo with...[Read More]

I’ll admit that I have not yet played any of the more modern Prince of Persia remakes that have received so much critical acclaim. But I still got to spend time watching a live personal demo of the newest installment in the series today, and it looks to be quite the action title. To cover the basics, the gameplay is still rooted in the acrobatic explorative style of the original, except this time,...[Read More]

Today, Nintendo and Sony held their press conferences to show off their stuff. You’ve already seen them and you probably know all about what was shown, so I won’t go into painstaking detail about each and every title that was touched on (though we’ll go through the major announcements). Instead, however, I’m just itching to tell you how I felt about what we saw. Nintendo Nintendo’s press conferenc...[Read More]
