Everything we saw at the Xbox Showcase
Following last year’s decision to host their wares off-site, Microsoft once more housed their games — and a selection from third-parties — at the Microsoft Theater next door to the convention center. We had some time to check out what they had, and here’s what we were able to see: Creature in the Well Any […]
Darksiders: Genesis takes the series in a Diablo-inspired direction
Darksiders has had a lot of ups and downs over the years, in no small part due to the closure of THQ essentially leaving the series in limbo for a while. With the founding of THQ Nordic, the series has been able to continue. While Darksiders 3 wasn’t quite the hit people were hoping for […]
Cris Tales headlined a diverse and entertaining showing for Modus Games at E3
With the E3 show floor looking more barren these days due to some of the bigger publishers pulling out of the show or just moving their wares off-site, it’s nice to see other places like Modus Game pick up the slack. Modus packed a lot into their modest space, providing a nice variety of games […]
Super Crush KO brought feel good action to E3
Vertex Pop is a studio that specializes in “feel good action games.” What that basically translates into are game that look, feel, and sound as pleasant as they are to play. Graceful Explosion Machine, the studio’s last game, is a prime example of this. What that game did for side-scrolling shooters, Super Crush KO looks […]

Though the demo didn’t last long, Link’s Awakening’s looking like a very faithful remake.
E3 2018 – Team 17’s indie lineup continues to impress
Team 17’s had one of the more consistent lineups year after year. Their electric mix of games always provides some fun surprises (such as the excellent Yoku’s Island Express last year), which makes it a worthwhile visit year after year. Here’s what we played: Overcooked 2 I love a good local multiplayer game, and Overcooked […]
E3 2018: Highlights from the Xbox showcase
While E3 has always been a weird show, recent years have seen it evolve in some unexpected ways. Between companies leaving the show to hold their own events adjacent to E3 proper (EA), and the public being let into the show, this year and the last have been a strange time. Off-site demos were something […]
From E3 2017: Highlights from Gambitious’ lineup
Devolver Digital may have its name on the parking lot it rents out each year, but it always ends up host to a variety of games and publishers. Gambitious Digital Entertainment was one of them, hosting a wide variety of games on the lot. Here’s what I saw: Machiavillain Like Aven Colony from earlier in […]
From E3 2017: Highlights from the Devolver lot
Though Devolver’s never been at E3 proper, their own showcase across the street from the convention center always hosts a wide variety of games, ones that often provide a nice change of pace from the usual crop you find on the show floor. Here’s some of the highlights we saw from Devolver themselves. Absolver Absolver […]
