GameManx Podcast Episode 92: Nintendo & Sony E3 Edition
All about Nintendo and Sony at E3. We fight through technical issues to discuss as much as we can. Nintendo 3DS, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Playstation move and 3D playstation games are on the menu here.
Miyamoto Spotted Checking Kinect for Xbox 360
While checking out some of the Summer of Arcade Xbox Live titles such as Limbo and Castlevania Harmony of Despair I randomly saw Miyamoto and his posse checking out Kinect sports and a few other Kinect titles. Shigeru Miyamoto is the video game designer and producer behind Mario, Zelda, and helped on the development of Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Here are some more photos I took: Im pretty sure he was...[Read More]
E3 10: Redman & Methodman Hit Def Jam Rapstar Stage
Walking the floor at E3 I randomly walked into a set or performances by Redman and Methodman on the Def Jam Rapstar stage area. The songs the did were all good ones including many classics. The best part was that they were raw and unsensored. Here are some more photos I took:
E3 10: Castlevania Harmony of Despair
Castlevania Harmony of Despair is a “Metroidvania” type of game. A large castle to explore, platforming and 2D action. It looks like they took a Nintendo DS Castlevania game like Portrait of Ruin and ported it in widescreen to the Xbox 360. Fans of those games will have much to enjoy here. The art syle is pixelated but comes across as more charming than jaggy. There is a lot to like in...[Read More]
E3 2010: Limbo Impressions
I did not get much time with Limbo but what I did see and play was pretty interesting. Limbo is a puzzle platformer that will be released as a part of the “Summer of arcade” that requires the player to hit levers and objects to affect the environment creating a path that you can traverse to proceed to the end. The dark noir style is nice and I do look forward to playing this when it is...[Read More]
E3 10: Splatterhouse Impressions
Splatterhouse is a 3D blood heavy hack and slash beat’em up game. There was nothing about it that screamed out to me to really care or add it to my list of games to watch. Most likely a rental at best. Dude at the booth would not let me record video of the game in action because he said he was worried that people would see the footage and think the game looked bad. This was the only time I w...[Read More]
E3 10: Medal of Honor Impressions
After playing Medal of Honor I can safely say it is on my day one buy list. The game is by Dice who also developed Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it shows. The shooting and movement is very akin to Battlefield Bad Company 2 but Medal of Honor seems to be a bit faster. So for the most part Medal of Honor came across to me as a game sitting somewhere in between Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Co...[Read More]
E3 10: Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days Impressions
Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days does a lot of things well visually. When you take damage the visuals shift into a mode that looks like your looking at the game through a security cam recording or handicam. Its a very interesting and unique style choice. The characters also have a very nice art style though the combat is where the game fell apart for me. The guns I used had too much recoil. I dont min...[Read More]
E3 10: 3DS Games Announced
Here are the games announced for Nintendo 3DS at E3: Metal Gear: Snake Eater 3DS Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Resident Evil Revelations Mario Kart 3DS Starfox 64 3DS Paper Mario Pilotwings Resort Dead or Alive Kid Icarus: Uprising Animal Crossing DJ Hero 3D Super Street Fighter IV 3D FIFA Soccer Madden NFL
E3 10: Nintendo 3DS Impressions
I was worried that after standing in line for about an hour to see the Nintendo 3DS I would be a bit jaded and shit on it but that was so not the case. I guess this in of itself is a testament to how impressed I was with the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo 3DS now has an analog nub. Similar in design to the analog nub on the PSP but executed much better. The Nintendo 3DS analog nub is much larger and f...[Read More]
E3 10: Epic Mickey Impressions
What I learned from E3 this year in regards to Epic Mickey is that the screen shots released a few weeks back do not do the game justice. Epic Mickey is just one of those games that looks much better in motion. Not only that but there are many interesting things about Epic Mickey. It’s not a simple platformer. Epic Mickey gives players multiple ways to run through the game. The game has RPG ...[Read More]
E3 10: Killzone 3 Impressions
The playable Killzone 3 content at E3 this year included three main sections. The first is what begins as an on-rails ride on one of the ISA hovercrafts. You man a gun turret as you glide around Helhast bases destroying everything in your path. The explosion effects are great as expected and blowing up things is always fun. After a bit of fun with the turret you land and your on foot in some shoot...[Read More]
