How awesome was the Sony show? It really did have a bit of everything in Shenmue III, The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy VII Remake. But at one point I made the observation on Twitter that “hey guys, it looks like Miku’s not happening on stage today.” And I was…

E3/E3 2015/Sony

Microsoft had one of its best shows in years, showcasing both games and some mighty impressive technology. So how will Sony respond? Will it be all games, or will we even get a sneaky hint of a new hardware device? Say, a new handheld to replace the “legacy” PlayStation Vita?…

Way back before the PlayStation 4 was released, in my first hands-on time with the console, I got to play an early build of Blast ‘Em Bunnies, the next game in the works from Aussie developers, Nnooo. Blast ‘Em Bunnies is a fast-paced, arcade action game. Players play as a…

Obviously we’ve seen a lot of big blockbuster games through E3 so far, from Assassin’s Creed to Fallout, Halo to FIFA. But as far as I’m concerned, it’s a little indie platformer that’s winning the show (at least, as far as games from the presentations that have already been completed…

Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect, Mass Effect. We’re kinda looking forward to one particular EA game. And were we impressed with what we saw (and some of the other games that the publishing giant has…

E3/E3 2015/Microsoft/Microsoft Xbox One

After Bethesda’s big show comes Microsoft, the first of the hardware manufacturers to put on an E3 show. And what are we looking at this year? Halo? Gears of War? New IP (we hope new IP)? Microsoft has got a history of doing some odd things at E3, like the…

Of course, in between all the blockbuster stuff, E3 also brings with it all kinds of indie goodness, and Skyshine’s Bedlam is an leading an early charge yet. Basically if you’re think of a roguelike crossed with a tactics strategy game like The Banner Saga, you’ve got Bedlam. There’s a…
