Tribes: Ascend First Impressions
When I first heard that the rights to the storied Tribes gaming franchise had been picked up by Hi-Rez Studios, it was little more than a blip on my radar. 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 Impressions
E3: 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. One of the games that did catch...E3 2011hands-on previewE3: Medieval Moves: Deadmunds Quest ...
E3: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ImpressionsThere were lots of amazing games at this year’s E3, but I think the one that stands out the most for me is “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim”. Just the sheer size of the game and the detail that was put into it were enough to leave you speechless after watching the demo. Skyrim takes place two hundred...E3 2011first impressionsE3: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Impr...
E3: The Darkness II First ImpressionsWhile at E3 we had a chance to check out the sequel to “The Darkness”, which released back in 2007. Although not perfect the game did spark enough interest in the gaming public to warrant a sequel. The game which was original developed by Starbreeze, based on Top Cow’s Comic Book series now has a new master,...E3 2011first impressionsE3: The Darkness II First Impression...
E3: XCOM First ImpressionsDuring E3 this year, we had a chance to stop by the 2K Games booth and check out a demo of XCOM. Currently in development by 2K Marin, XCOM is the reboot of the franchise which was started back in 1994 by MicroProse. When 2K Marin found out they were going to make an XCOM game, they were pretty excited...E3 2011first impressionsE3: XCOM First Impressions
E3: Orcs Must Die! 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. And boy, am I glad I did. For me, this game actually turned out to be one of the better surprises of the show as I found myself...E3 2011hands-on previewE3: Orcs Must Die! Hands-On Preview
Bioshock: Infinite First ImpressionsWe had a chance to catch Bioshock: Infinite in action backstage at the 2K booth and it looks quite intriguing. The demonstration was pretty uptight… no photos, filming or even audio recording (god forbid I have some audio to reference in my notes), however it was still very exciting to see it live.

Need for Speed: The Run Hands-On PreviewEarlier today while I was hanging around EA’s busy booth, one of the booth babes asked me if I was interested in trying out the game. Since she was really pretty it made it that much harder to say no, and since I’m nice I told her sure, I’ll give it a shot. She then told me that if I can complete...E3 2011hands-on previewNeed for Speed: The Run Hands-On Pre...
The Sims 3: Pets Creator Tool Hands-OnWhile hanging out at the EA booth today, we came across The Sims 3: Pets demo and hooked up with King Choi, the Assistant Product Manager, who gave us a preview of what’s to come in this fifth expansion pack for The Sims 3.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hands-OnEarlier today, once E3 officially opened up, I actually had a chance to meet-up with the guys at Square Enix and got a little face time with the game which I have been interested in for quite some time now – Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
