Original Dead Rising Hinted At for PS4
Dead Rising 4 was announced as a timed exclusive for the Xbox One. For any PS4 players that feel bummed out with that news, Capcom may have a pretty cool stopgap for you. Exophase has released a trophy list for Dead Rising, the original Xbox 360 exclusive released in 2006. They have developed a habit for spoiling game releases very early on, so many are speculating this is more of the same. While ...[Read More]

E3 Impressions: Sony Conference
There is one trend that has propped up in recent E3 shows that I dislike. Once all the major conferences are concluded, various video game cognoscenti gather up and declare which company “won” E3, meaning what company’s conference was the best. I dislike it primarily because it implies that, despite any good things shown at other conferences, they don’t matter because one conference WON! I don’t t...[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]
E3 Impressions: The Last Guardian
After six years of development limbo, The Last Guardian was finally confirmed to be alive and well during E3 2015. Back then, it was set to release sometime this year. 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. My calendar is set, and I am ready. Of course, it’s...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Watch Dogs 2
With Watch Dogs 2, Ubisoft Montreal is hoping to inject more life into the series. It looks like they were successful for the most part. The sequel to the dismal 2014 open-world hacking game Watch Dogs has ditched the previous open-world sandbox game’s stomping grounds of Chicago, deciding to travel westward to the San Francisco The game’s protagonist is Marcus Holloway, an African-American youth ...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: For Honor
If you’ve ever wanted to pit hordes of vikings, samurai, and knights against each other Deadliest Warrior-style in full-fledged melee combat, For Honor is the game for you. If you love cleaving through dozens of enemies while dozens of other combatants fight around you, For Honor also has you covered. I don’t know how the meeting at Ubisoft Montreal went when brainstorming this hack and slash game...[Read More]
