E3 2013

Unfortunately, dear reader, it seems that our press passes to E3 got lost in the mail. And so we’re not going to be there in person to see Sony’s presentation, due to start very shortly. But never fear! Thanks to the wonders of the Internet we are able to watch…

Ubisoft’s presentation was filled with stuff we had already seen plenty of before. We know what to expect with Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed, and we know there’s a Just Dance game on the way. They are exciting games, but not edge-of-the-seat stuff. Then, right at the end of the…

Microsoft’s E3 2013 press conference was mostly Xbox One with a little Xbox 360 sprinkled in. Most importantly? It was almost all games.

As we recently argued, Apple’s snub of E3 is a bit of a downer for the convention’s credentials as the “go to” show for the year of gaming ahead. Apple of course holds its own event at the same time, and an announcement over there has, essentially, kicked E3 where…

Dark Souls/Dark Souls II/E3 2013/Trailers

While I’ve voiced my concerns regarding Dark Souls II in the past, and those concerns have been related to the increasing budgets and sales expectations of the franchise, I can’t deny that that increased budget has generated a rather lovely trailer. Dark Souls II is one of the most impressive…

E3 2013/Microsoft/Opinion/Xbox 360/Xbox One

I will start right off by saying this one left me feeling much better about the direction of the Xbox One than Microsoft’s initial conference did. When one of their opening comments is “it’s all about the games” – well, I feel like is back on the right track. About…
