Y you should be Xcited for the new Pokemon

Jun 12, 2013

Pokémon X and Y have got their own little trailer in the Nintendo Direct E3 edition (first game in the video). More than just a new batch of Pokémon, you’ll also see the new 3D visuals and the feature everyone was asking for… the ability to feed and pet 3D versions of your favourite Pokémon using Pokémon-Amie. As for how it looks, well the...

Things get hairy in Bayonetta 2

Things get hairy in Bayonetta 2

Jun 12, 2013

Bayonetta 2 is on its way to Wii U as we all well know, but the E3 edition of Nintendo Direct showed us just that little bit more. Considering there are some people that either already have bought or are to going to buy the Wii U specifically because this game is an exclusive there we’d say it’s a pretty big deal that they’re showing it...

Microsoft’s Killer Instinct Rape Joke Apology

Microsoft’s Killer Instinct Rape Joke Apology

Jun 12, 2013

During the Microsoft E3 conference there were some rather mean-spirited bits of trash talk during the Killer Instinct announcement and demo. The demo was played on-stage, live but scripted, between a man and a woman. While the man was winning by quite a large margin, he spouted the words “Just let it happen, it’ll be over soon.” Incredibly poor...

The real e3 has yet to be released

The real e3 has yet to be released

Jun 11, 2013

That’s right, the most important e3 has yet to be released. Picross e3 is headed to the 3DS eshop. Unfortunately it only has a 12th of June release for Japan, which is perhaps just a little disappointing, but considering the lack of dialogue or anything particularly awkward to translate it should make the cross to European and US eshops relatively...

An armchair view of E3 2013: Sony

Jun 11, 2013

Sony Conference: June 11th 2:00am GMT   This is Sony’s big chance to do everything right. There are advantages to going last and it will be interesting to see where they go with this. That new Killzone game will probably be shown again and we already know Destiny will be, but anything else is a mystery. The show opens slowly, seems to be taking longer...

An armchair view of E3 2013: Ubisoft

Jun 11, 2013

Ubisoft Conference: June 10th 11:00pm GMT   Ubisoft may well be the most interesting publisher conference this year. I suspect heavy focus on Watch Dogs (though they revealed the trailer they’ll be showing here a few hours early) and more on Assassin’s Creed 4. Don’t you steal your own thunder if you release a trailer for one of your big...
