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...

An armchair view of E3 2013: EA

EA Conference: June 10th 9:00pm GMT   EA! What could you do here not to annoy anyone else? I hope they talk about how successful SimCity was. The show opens with a rather loud trailer of a bunch of title names to terrible music and a giant EA logo. I keep forgetting Peter Moore is their CEO and every year I hate him more. He’s on stage, either...

Microsoft Conference: June 10th 5:30pm GMT Another year – another E3 armchair write up as I suffer through multi-million dollar companies completely missing their mark thanks to the lazy ones amongst us mistaking a game console for Netflix delivery device. Guesses for what’s on show this year should be easy enough to correctly assume. Microsoft will be...

Sherlock Holmes solves some Crimes and dishes out some Punishments (maybe)

Jun 7, 2013

Crimes & Punishments, the new Sherlock Holmes game from Frogwares hasn’t had all too much said about it. They had this tech demo a little while back (which looks mighty fine), showing off how the game will look using the Unreal Engine 3. Now you can also check out four *gasp* new screenshots, which as you can see are just as fantastic as the tech...

Company of Heroes 2 wages war in Open Beta

Jun 5, 2013

You might of heard already that Company of Heroes 2 is out later this month; June 25th to be exact, but it announced and released shortly thereafter its Open Beta. Having played the Closed Beta already we thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was only multiplayer on a few maps. This new Open Beta will hopefully have all the balances and bulletins available, as it...

Blood Bowl: Star Coach scores Early Access

Blood Bowl: Star Coach scores Early Access

Jun 4, 2013

Blood Bowl: Star Coach released today on Steam Early Access as a free to play game. Like the main games it’s being made by Cyanide Studios; and given their reputation is somewhat marred by the fact that their games give off more than a certain roughness, this one kind of emphasises that particularly well. As mentioned before it is Early Access and it...

Some unsupported predictions for the next three years

Some unsupported predictions for the next three years

Jun 3, 2013

I blog about videogames. This means that I have a right – nay, a duty – to make unsupported predictions regarding the future of the industry and the products within it. Having made sure that I have absolutely no evidence or insider knowledge to hand, I decide to plot the course of the next generation of consoles over the next three years using nothing more...
