The biggest surprises of this year’s E3 came in form of impromptu interview opportunities that popped up during our appointments at the show. One of these happened when we stopped by Square Enix’s spacious booth for a showing of their JRPGs. Instead of the usual demo and information overload that everyone who writes about games at…
There’s no trying to deny that I’ve always been a fan of the Mafia games. The first one made its way to PCs shortly after Grand Theft Auto III, and even though that other game went on to become a huge hit, Mafia had its own devoted fan base, who like me, really got into…
Multiplayer focused games are kind of my personal curse. When I really like the mechanics of one in particular, I tend to get really interested and excited in playing it, then, after a few weeks with it, I stop playing. It’s been like that for years, probably due to the way I play games and…
In a surprising bit of news at the beginning of the year, Electronic Arts announced that they would not be part of E3 this year. The plan was to host an off-site event instead, right next door to the show proper, in downtown Los Angeles. EA Sports was there in full force, with a trio…
Square Enix prepared a cavalcade of Deus Ex games to show at E3, and the last one I got to check out during my appointment was Deus Ex GO, the newest entry in the GO series, which so far I’ve sorely missed playing, to my own fault, according to the many raving reviews I’ve read….
Coming in as a little surprise bonus to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Breach is a free add-on mode that will come with all copies of the main game when that’s out in August. Breach plays a lot like the main game, but takes place inside a virtual reality, in which a hacker, who’s just joined…
Deus Ex saw a resurgence when Human Revolution made its way to consoles and PC back in 2011. It was a fantastic upgrade to a series that left its mark in the late 90s, only to suffer through the growing pains and developer shifts that it did when the whole gaming scenario shifted at the beginning…
The idea of playing as a sniper in World War 2 makes for an excellent premise for a videogame, one that could possibly give space to a host of different stories and titles. Sniper Elite 4 still has little in the way of story, but its setting is probably one of the franchise’s potentially most…
Boss fights can either be a high or low point in videogames. A really good fight is tough to create, a series of them even more so. Furi, a game that’s nothing but a series of boss fights from The Game Bakers, seems to understand the qualities that make a good boss battle work. The…
… because if you lose it, there’s no more game to be played! But before we get into silly noggin’ jokes, I should probably explain what Headlander is all about. Double Fine’s newest is a platforming puzzle game all about knowing where your head should. The thing is, you play as a guy who somehow…
