Gamers lucky enough to attend PAX Prime in Seattle this past weekend were treated to a lengthy gameplay demo of The Last of Us. That demo was the same one that was being shown to press at E3 in June. Now, Sony has turned it into a full-blown, 16 minute gameplay trailer for the world's enjoyment. Dig in. The trailer showcases the AI work being done in the game, the environmental...
The gameplay clip of Metro: Last Light, released by THQ, rocked a lot of the media and attendees at this year's E3 convention. As the video indicates, the eyes-on, live demo brought in 20 awards from different publications. "Welcome to Moscow" created some all-too-valuable buzz for Metro's next. Now, you can find out why. You'll also catch a glimpse of the borrowed-time dynamic in...
Since launching in the spring of last year, the Nintendo 3DS has enjoyed one major release from The Legend of Zelda catalogue. That game, of course, was Ocarina of Time 3D. It was a remake and remaster of what most gamers would consider one of the most important quests in the medium’s history. Nintendo will be making another Zelda title for their newest portable, but they haven’t...
Ubisoft showed off a little gameplay segment for their upcoming openworld shooter based on insanity, Far Cry 3, during their E3 press conference last week. The video you see above is a condensed version of that playthrough that features a little commentary from the game's producer, Dan Hay. How about a little warning? The clip itself contains moments of brief nudity, rough language and...
E3 is a spectacle. It's a show that opens up with more than a day of fanfare and insanity put on display by the gaming industry's heaviest hitters. We see each company parade out stars, rappers, musicians, pyrotechnics, sexy dancers and a slew of sizzle reels meant to titillate and excite. The problem? That doesn't work anymore. A desperate cry for attention. Six years ago, when...

E3's constant aural and visual onslaught cannot, in any way, shape or form, be effectively captured or described. Walking into the LA Convention Center this week was like walking into the world's biggest club on New Year's Eve with all the biggest/loudest bands on the planet playing at the same time. Only, the bands were companies like Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony, competing for the...
The familiarity of playing any side-scrolling Mario game is like riding a bike. Or, perhaps a more fitting analogy, like running into an old best friend. No matter how long it's been since you've rescued Peach, the time away from the Mushroom Kingdom is immediately insignificant. The formula, colors and Goomba stomping is the same. However, it's the little things Nintendo does that...
Project P-100 is a temporary name. It's also a Wii U game that Nintendo hasn't said much about. It was a no-show during both Nintendo's presser and their developer round table. P-100 is a title from Platinum Games, the studio responsible for Bayonetta and Vanquish. No, P-100 is nothing like either of those titles. This cute title features super heroes determined to save the world from...
Among the excitement of Resident Evil 6, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Dead Space 3, we lightened the mood a bit by getting our hands-on LittleBigPlanet for the PS Vita. And much to our delight, the overall experience and insanely whimsical charm is still very much in tact. Sony is taking what made Sackboy's adventures so darn fun and amplifying it through the Vita's touch technology,...
