Twisted Metal is back and it looks better than ever.
In my opinion, Sony's biggest surprise of E3 was the reveal of Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3. I've enjoyed the series in the past, and a new entry in the series is quite welcome as it has been dormant for far too long.
The follow-up to The Conduit seems to be a step up from the original.
In my opinion, The Conduit was a mediocre shooter at best. It lacked a lot of the polish that you see in most shooters today, and it suffered from a number of bugs that could often make multiplayer very frustrating. From what I saw of The Conduit 2, the developers are addressing some of the concerns I had with the original game.
FlingSmash is an enjoyable, simple sidescroller that Nintendo brought back to the show this year, renaming last year's little-talked about game, SpanSmasher.
When I picked up FlingSmash, I didn't know much about the game, despite its presence last year. From the name, I knew it had something to do with smashing, and perhaps a flinging motion, but that was about all. I spoke with the man in charge of the demo station, and shortly after, began playing the first stage in the game.
The crew reunites post-E3 to discuss the end of the show and what you can expect in terms of coverage going forward.
Nick, Chessa, Jason R, Chris, and Rob are all present for a bit of post-E3 discussion and a general wrap-up of the show.
Some titles were mentioned on the show floor, others weren't. Here's an incomplete list provided by Nintendo on their E3 press site.
Keep in mind this list is partial, by Nintendo's word, and most titles are tentative, if even that.
Brotherhood is much more than just a multiplayer mode for Assassin's Creed.
There's no denying that I love the Assassin's Creed series. Assassin's Creed 2 was my personal Xbox 360 Game of the Year, thanks to its focused missions, faster paced combat and overall better composition from its predecessor. As I've come to learn at E3, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a full-fledged sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 that also happens to include a mulitplayer mode.
There's not much that can be said about Super Meat Boy that fans and gamers interested in the title don't already know.
While I, personally, didn't receive hands-on time with the game, I can say it looks like it'll play a lot like the flash-based version of the game plays. That means quick, reflexive platforming, wall-cling-jumping, and lots of blood every time Meat Boy dies. New features include instant replays of every attempt to complete the stage all at once, a newer, sharper, sleeker art direction for Meat Boy and the gang that looks great and fluid in action, and even boss stages, though I didn't get to see any in action.
Golden Sun, how I’ve missed your warm embrace.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn cycles to a familiar rhythm, but a brighter presentation makes it all the more inviting.
