E3 Games You May Have Missed

On 06/25/2013 at 01:55 PM by Matt Snee

In the flurry of E3 news, some games were of course lost in the shuffle. I've summarized these exciting releases below.

Silver Surfer versus the Space Felines of Sector Epsilon-2

Ah, who wouldn’t want to play as a depressed, sexless, silver dude longing after his long lost planet? Oh yeah, he surfs through space, too. This game involves visiting planets and doing quests on them as you try to save the population’s souls before Galactus devours the planet. Kind of a weird concept, but ThatGamingCompany is responsible for this one.

Optimus Prime’s Autobot/Decepticon Mini-Game Mayhem

In Nintendo’s first foray into licensed games, we get a kiddie mini-game package starring everybody’s favorite giant robots, as they hula hoop and bumper car their way to high scores. This game involves Megatron with a cute little bow on his head.

AD&D Returns

Yeah, this will happen.

Elder Scrolls: Dune

Barter with Fremen, have sex with Harkonnen, and do all the spice you want. Travel though space. Travel through time. Murder innocent people. Fetch stuff out of dungeons.

Castlevania 4: Dawn of Inevitable Rage Quit

Finally, a true sequel to the NES Castlevanias!

Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation”: A JRPG for the Whole Family

Complete with androgynous telepaths.

I thought castlevania 4 was on the SNES

06/25/2013 at 02:00 PM

anything after the NES versions is apocryphal.

Wait a minute, you're telling me Castlevania stories are what make up that book of the Bible they added into my Catholic Good News version? Well shit, I should read that more often.

Good Gonzo journalism here, by the way. I want that game with Megatron in a bow.

So all of the GBA and DS games might not actually be Castlevania?

06/25/2013 at 02:18 PM

yeah all those DS and GBA games were made by people, not God himself.

06/25/2013 at 02:27 PM

On another note, wasn't SotN somehwat based off of Simon's Quest?

06/25/2013 at 02:29 PM

I've played SoTN but it seems very different from Simon's Quest. I played a lot of Simon's quest when I was a kid but never got very far. I was in love with the game, but it hasn't aged well and everyone agrees it's a broken game. I'm not the Castlevania expert though.

06/25/2013 at 02:30 PM

I remember being in love with SImon's Quest when I was younger. I used to have the pasword for the best equipment memorized. Never actually beat the game though.

06/25/2013 at 02:37 PM

i was in love with it too. I never beat it either.

I sadly admit that I totally fell for the Silver Surfer bit. I wanted to believe, LOL!

06/25/2013 at 02:20 PM

me too, man. That game would be an awesome next generation title. Sigh, in a better world....

He who controls the spice....controls the universe! Has the best villain,too. Baron Harkonen is just disgusting. I know I will destroy a few controllers while playing that Castlevania game. Rage On!!!!!!

Best SCIFI series EVER..... And I love the David Lynch movie. "Fear is the mindkiller."

You could use Kinect to actively resist Baron von Harkonnen from pulling your heart plug out.

06/26/2013 at 10:12 AM

ha! Damn that Baron!

After playing Silver Surfer on NES, I'm not sure I'd EVER want a new SS game lol. Castlevania 4 would be a must buy! Wait.. I can actually buy Castlevania 3 now that my NES is working again. WOO HOO!

06/25/2013 at 04:57 PM

you know I was talking to someone today about Castlevania 3 and I had totally forgotten it exists. I never had it as a child, so it left no impression on me. I'd love to play it though.

Dude, if they made that Dune game, I'd finally have a reason to play Elder Scrolls

But Asimov's Foundation series deserves a good point-and-click adventure.

yeah man Dune games: awesome.

I think there's a lot of potential for a Foundation game. It's too bad it will never happen.

Dune, heard about it but I haven't read the books or watched the movie. Should I watch the movie?

06/26/2013 at 10:11 AM

it's kind of a love it or hate it story. I recommend checking out the movie, because it's not a big commitment. I love the movie, but I love the series. It's worth watching, definitely.

Since you know i'm reading Dune, I aprove of that game. Hell, I could even get Skyrim before, just to get a grisp on the mechanics of the Elder Scrolls.

06/26/2013 at 10:13 AM

yeah I would love an open world Dune game. that would be sick.
