With E3 being the big show that it is, it still manages to hold many surprises, if you look out for them. In my case, most of these usually come from a visit to the Los Angeles Convention Center’s Concourse Hall, where smaller developers show their wares and aren’t as in-your-face as the booths in the other two…
Tekken has been around for a while now. If you consider it was one of the PlayStation’s first games ever, one could parry the success of both products throughout the years. Everyone that owned a PlayStation probably played Tekken at some point or another, mainly because it was by far the best fighting games out in…
Last time I saw Manifold Garden it went under the name Relativity. The game hasn’t changed much since then. The demo this year showed same level from last year, only more fleshed out. I didn’t mind, though. I’ll take any chance I get to poke around in its stunning world. Manifold Garden is a puzzle…
The original Outlast was one of the most disturbing games I have ever played. It wasn’t just because of its subject matter and how it was mostly set in the dark, but due to just how well all of its horror elements played together and scared the hell out of me all throughout my time playing it. Or…
It should be no secret to anyone that adventure games have played a significant part in my gaming career. Although I’ve had my up and downs with the genre, I could always count on European developers for their unique takes, such as Microids’ Syberia series. Even though it’s been well over ten years since I’ve played Syberia…
Supergiant Games has built an interesting collection of work. First they began with a traditional action role-playing game in Bastion, then a strategy/action game hybrid in Transistor, and now a role-playing game/sports hybrid with Pyre. You can never tell what they’re gonna make next, but if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that…
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…
