[E3 - Star Wars 1313] Jesus Christ This May Actually Rule

June 5th, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

I don’t want to like Star Wars 1313. Despite loving the Universe, the original trilogy, and pretending I can open automatic doors with the Force, my bitterness for Uncle George runs deep. Somehow the gameplay trailer for this newly-announced title has managed to pierce my scabby heart. reigniting my Star Wars  loins. I wouldn’t bet on the game being good, for far too many titles in the Universe have aroused my interest only to let me down. I’m looking at you, SWTOR, KOTOR 2, and The Force Unleashed.

[E3 2012 - Watch Dogs] Ubisoft…brings it?

June 4th, 2012 by Budrickton

Big-hitters Microsoft and EA really threatened to sabotage expectations for the rest of the show with their media briefings today.  Brown-grey shooters nearly impossible to discriminate from one another, QTE gameplay that privileges the spectacle of a cutscene over freedom of gameplay, and gimmick bullshit that flexes a tech muscle over a truly practical one; it was all over the place.
