Sure, I’ve been a die-hard Tribes fan going on ten plus years (and am still an active member of the community), but what was there left...first impressionsTribes: Ascend First Impressionsposted 3 months agoE3: Medieval Moves: Deadmunds Quest Hands-onOn the last day of E3 I stumbled upon SONY’s meeting room, upstairs outside the West Hall, and it was like hitting the jackpot. They had all of the latest and greatest in there, PS Vita, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, and some other toys I didn’t even get a chance to try.

Hands-On PreviewWhen I first saw Orcs Must Die! the graphics reminded me a little bit of World of Warcraft, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I knew I had to get my hands on this game during E3.
