E3 Impressions: Sony VR Games
In the race to bring VR to the gaming masses, I feel Sony has the most to lose. Based on the VR titles they revealed during their E3 conference, I think they may know that. That last paragraph is totally my opinion, but I will do my best to explain myself. Of the current console manufacturers, only Sony has fully hitched itself to the VR wagon. They did so by being the only one to actually announc...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Days Gone
Zombie games! For the love of all that is decent and holy, how many of these can we have? In my opinion, the zombie genre has been overdone to the point of nausea. Despite my feelings about the genre, however, it’s a really popular one. Days Gone is Sony Bend’s take on the genre and, despite my reservations about another zombie game, I have to admit that there are things about the gameplay demo So...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Mentioning Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare online tends to elicit very radical responses from “impassioned” fans. Many of the responses are negative, and some are vitriolic. I have prepared myself for these. I have my Kevlar helmet on, my bulletproof vest strapped on, and my AR-15 loaded and ready. Bring it! OK, I’m not loaded or armored; the only thing loaded in this house is me, and the most arm...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Detroit: Become Human
There are times when a mere name can change your opinion about a game. With Detroit: Become Human, a game that looked very interesting in its gameplay demo’s premise, the name was David Cage. As soon as it takes to say the name, my interest in the game became very murky. David De Gruttola, BKA David Cage, is the founder of Quantic Dream, the studio behind polarizing titles such as Fahrenheit/Indig...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Horizon: Zero Dawn
Every once in a while, a game pops up and intrigues you because of its sheer lunacy. Horizon: Zero Dawn is that game for me. Revealed for the first time during E3 2015, this game grabbed my attention and didn’t let go, despite the fact that I didn’t understand what was going on or how it made a lick of sense. It was the machines that threw me off. The vibe of the E3 gameplay demo was one of a post...[Read More]

At the end of this year’s E3, the release date was set: October 25th, 2016. With that news, I sighed with joy. Finally, Team Ico’s latest creation for the PlayStation 4 has a date.

E3 Impressions: Ubisoft VR Games
Ubisoft debuted two VR games during their conference at E3. One of the games was a great example of what VR can for players who want that experience in flight; the other was a dream come true for fans who want to recreate the fanboy/fangirl situation of their dreams. Both had tons of benefits, but one glaring flaw. The first of the VR games, Eagle Flight, is a game that shows the potential of VR i...[Read More]
