News by Harvard L. I think this trailer recontextualises my understanding of Remedy Entertainment’s whole catalogue of games. They’re not fans of sequels, instead choosing to push new IP out whenever possible, and their games tend to be cinematic, narrative driven and somewhat underappreciated in the modern gaming canon. But…
Read MoreNews by Matt C. It’s easy to get jaded about E3’s obsession with violence, guns, blood, and gore—a trend that continues into 2018. Luckily, we have adorable games like Ooblets to balance things out, with a new trailer during the PC Gaming Show putting a spotlight on the game’s dance-based…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve hit my E3 wall and I’m burnt out; it’s unfortunate because I’m certain Nintendo deserves my energy. Smash Bros. is a given, but I think everyone is just waiting for a new Animal Crossing. I’ve heard absolutely nothing else…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. Sony! It’s time for Sony! We know that we’re getting deep dives on four titles: Death Stranding, The Last Of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Spider-Man. But the real questions remain. Will we actually see Life Is Strange 2, or is Captain Spirit it…

Read MoreNews by Harvard L. Metro has always been a black sheep when it came to the FPS genre. The original game released in 2010 and stood as a harsh counterpoint to popular design at the time: a melancholic world where guns were rickety, unreliable contraptions and proper bullets were valuable…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. It’s day three of four of our press conference coverage, and it’s the busiest yet! Starting things off with a hopeful bang is Square Enix; while all eyes seem to be on the developer/publisher for Final Fantasy VII, I’m actually most curious as to whether we’ll…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. We’ve seen our fair share of wastelands this E3, from urban, to nuclear, to zombified, but none could be described as beautiful until now. There are few games on show this year which are truly eye-catching, and then along comes Sable which expresses the simple joy…
