PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) Hands-On Impressions | E3 2011
PS Vita was shown at this years E3. The line and wait was one of the longest only matched and sometimes outdone by the lines to see Wii U and Battlefield 3. Many fans waited over three hours for hands on time with this new Sony device. The first thing you notice about the PS Vita system is that it is not small. Do not expect to carry this in your pants pockets. If you are wearing cargo shorts then...[Read More]
Wii U Hands-On Impressions | E3 2011
Nintendo’s announcement of the Wii U was not entirely surprising as rumors of a new controller with a screen had already surfaced in the weeks leading up to this weeks E3 announcement. When announced the focus was entirely on the Wii U controller itself leaving the console details vague. After the press conference I was able to get some hands on time with the controller. The Wii U controller...[Read More]
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Hands-On | E3 2011
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 was shown only behind closed doors this year at E3. The initial presentation consisted of the section featured in the Microsoft Xbox press conference. Its the section where the marines infiltrate the sub and escape on the rafts. After that we got a chance to watch them play through a section called “Mind The gap” which went through an urban industrial area...[Read More]
Battlefield 3: Hands-On Impressions | E3 2011
Its no secret that Battlefield 3 is one of the most anticipated games of this year. The line to see and play a portion of the game was as about as long as the line to see the newly announced Wii U and PSVita systems. Games typically do not garner lines as long as hardware so that says much about the hype level for Battlefield 3. On hand to talk about what was being shown at E3 was Lars Gustavsson ...[Read More]
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition Impressions & Video | E3 2011
Konami had their newly announced Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition for PlayStation 3 on deck. The HD edition runs in full 1080P and fortunately does not look blocky. The textures are also upgraded to match the 1080P visuals though do not expect Metal Gear Solid 4 visuals as this is still a port. As you can see in the video below the game looks nice though it is still more akin to the visual...[Read More]
Skull Girls Gameplay Video & Impressions | E3 2011
Skull Girls is a 2D fighting game by Autumn Games and Reverge Labs featuring art by Alex Ahad, whose work has graced UDON’s Tribute books, and Scott Pilgrim. The game is fast paced and had an deco style that borrows from old school cartoons. See more at the Skull Girls official website. The game was interesting to watch and pretty fun to play. One of the surprise hits of E3 for sure. Its always go...[Read More]
Crysis 2 Impressions
Crysis 2 is presented with claims that its “the best looking console game” and other similar claims of graphic sorcery. I found the Crysis 2 multiplayer demos and betas underwhelming both in terms of graphics and gameplay. The favorable reviews that came out launch day reignited my interest and at the store looking for iPad 2 cases I ended up buying the game for PlayStation 3. VISUALS ...[Read More]
Transformers War for Cybertron Impressions
Transformers War for Cybertron is now in stores and there is no movie in sight. That was the first indicator to me that this game might be worth checking into. Also Reviews for this particular Transformers game has been pretty good so I had to give it a shot. The art style in the game is very good. The characters all appear to be inspired by the Generation 1 cartoon designs which will please many ...[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: Spec Ops Impressions
I got a chance to see a demo run of Spec Ops. It’s a game by 2k games that is a third person shooter. The over the shoulder perspective is reminiscent of Gears of War and Resident Evil 5. The game takes place in Dubai after a huge sandstorm has wiped out most of the city. Most of the action takes place in and out of huge opulent buildings. The game initially at least revolves around a missio...[Read More]
