With E3 2012 looming and the confirmation that no next generation consoles are going to be announced, we’re getting a bit antsy to see what will be shown off at this year’s expo. Sony has thrown us a bone with a bit of info on their official E3 2012 page; they promise to “announce the future

  One Blockbuster employee in the United Kingdom decided to search the computer system for “WIIU” titles. What returned was the screen you see above.

The possibility of the presence of a new Super Mario title for the Wii U during Nintendo’s E3 presentation this coming June was initially brought up yesterday in a Spanish interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, famed designer from Nintendo.

In case you were heating up and hoping to see Microsoft reveal their next gaming system at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, it’s time to chill out. It’s not happening, according to David Dennis, Microsoft Product Manager. In a statement with one Bloomberg reporter, Dennis reportedly said that the company will not be showing

Mark Rein, the Vice President of Epic Games, has openly discussed his excitement for Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U before. The outspoken VP likes what he’s seen from the platform, and now he’s gone so far as to say that he’ll be “shocked” if it’s not a success for Nintendo. Eurogamer talked with Rein about the Wii

While gaming fans and communities may already be clamoring for new home gaming hardware, both Sony and Microsoft have now officially shown signs that we shouldn’t expect anything from them anytime soon. Sony’s Kaz Hirai denied the PlayStation 4′s presence at E3 this year back during CES, and Sony’s Phillipe Cardon said that his company

Overview 2011 was an incredible year for gaming software. The industry’s titans, both indie and corporate, got together and collectively created a slew of unbelievable software that pushed the boundaries of interactive entertainment out on all sides. Two pieces of brand new gaming hardware also hit the market, albeit one did so only in the

Kaz Hirai, one of Sony’s top executives, has come out and explicitly said that Sony will not be showing off a new console at this year’s E3 conference in Los Angeles. Hirai was asked about the PlayStation 4 and its potential unveiling during a roundtable at this year’s CES. Andy House, another Sony exec, had

MCV is reporting that Microsoft and Sony both plan to bring the PlayStation 4 (we assume they’re calling it that) and the Xbox 720 (we hope they avoid calling it that) to the E3 expo in June of 2012. We must say that MCV doesn’t make too much effort to link these two assumptions to

Nintendo‘s follow-up to the Wii, the Wii U, will be available for media to check out during CES 2012.

Over the span of two minutes and 24 seconds in the video above, one marketing voice on behalf of Sony will rundown a laundry list of the PS Vita’s upcoming capabilities.

Back at E3 in June, THQ and Sony announced that exclusive Saints Row: The Third content would be heading to the PlayStation 3 upon the game’s fall release. It was, supposedly, to be set around the game’s signature weapon. Well, so far, that hasn’t happened. In fact, given that the title released this past Tuesday and

The Simpsons has famously thrown up a number of hilarious parodies over the years, my favorite being Lisa’s visit to the Mapple Store where there is a special announcement from Mapple founder Steve Mobs. The cartoon’s latest target is Rovio’s multimillion dollar Angry Birds franchise. In an upcoming episode, Bart, Lisa, and Homer visit E4,

The upcoming first person shooter reboot of the fan-loved X-COM franchise has been met with a fair amount of fan backlash. That’s understandable, although maybe not 100% warranted, given the fact that 2K Games and 2K Marin elected to take the full host of gameplay mechanics from the original games and flip them on their head.

Dear readers, I suggest you block out the next available twenty minutes of your day for some in-game Elder Scrolls action. This Skyrim demo is presented by Bethesda‘s Todd Howard. If my memory serves me correctly, though it may not with more than three months gone by since the convention, this is roughly the same demo given

If you’re a PlayStation guy like myself, you’ll have experienced that painfully long wait between Call of Duty map packs launching on the Xbox 360, and the same map packs launching a month later on the PS3. It’s okay, then, for titles to launch exclusively on the Xbox for a limited period, but launching your

XCOM is the reinvention of a franchise approaching 20-years-old. This first-person, strategy, squad-based shooter is 2K Marin’s, the studio behind BioShock 2, shot at reinvigorating the series with a brand new take. Of course, moving from an top-down, turn-based, strategy genre to the world of the shooter, regardless of its tactical merit, would completely flip
