Lara's new look does a lot for her character, but has any progress really been made?
When asked to name female video game characters that embody some aspect of stereotypically exploitive depictions of women there are a few that almost anyone would name, but the name that almost always rolls off the tongue first is Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame.
The show is over and so the PixlBit staff discusses the games that gave them the most thrills this year.
This year was a bit thinner than what we were expecting, especially with Nintendo supposedly pulling back the curtain on the Wii U. But while we were left a bit underwhelmed and with more questions than answers there were still plenty of games on display to get us excited for something.
Take a look back with us for an honest reflection of this year’s E3.
A lot of people are down on this year’s E3, but were the games really that bad? We think not. In fact, all of us are in agreement that the games looked fabulous this year. So why was E3 so bland? Find out on this special of edition of PixlTalk: E3 Post Mortem.
How long can you survive?
Ubisoft is showing up big on the Wii U. With eight different titles either being ported to, or developed specifically for the system, the publisher has laid down a heavy bet on Nintendo’s next console’s success. With so many titles being produced, you’d be forgiven if you thought that perhaps games were being rushed and that not anything terribly unique would be delivered, but one title in their arsenal, ZombiU, seeks to prove you wrong.
We built this city with LEGO bricks!
Lego City was announced at last year’s E3. Initially the concept was a curiosity; gamers and journalists alike were unsure of exactly what we would expect from the title once it was formally revealed. Nintendo’s press conference on Tuesday gave us all some clarity and presented an open world, story driven game that will be the Lego brand’s most ambitious video game title yet.
Tank! Tank! Tank! is a Party! Party! Party! game.
One of the new Wii U games that Nintendo showed off in a quick reel at their E3 Press Conference on Tuesday was a little title called Tank! Tank! Tank! from publisher Namco Bandai.
Shhhh...It's dead wabbit from Hell season...
Back in February Sega announced a downloadable title simply called Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit from Arkedo Studio. Now, with E3 here they’ve pulled back the curtain on this gem of a title and given us all reason to get behind this title, screaming hell yeah all the while.
Zombies take to the sea in Dead Island Riptide
After denying its existence on several occasions, Deep Silver has announced today that a sequel to the zombie killing hit, Dead Island, is in development.
We can all rest easy now.
Since the Wii U’s unveiling at last year’s E3, many have wondered just exactly how many Wii U GamePads the system would support. Initial showings of the system and game demos always showed just one person using the tablet-like controller, while others playing along used the classic Wii remote controller, which lead many to believe that Nintendo’s new machine would only support a single GamePad. Today those concerns were wiped away.
Micro-gaming coming to Nintendo's next system.
Project P-100 wasn’t the only Wii U title that Nintendo chose not to reveal at their E3 conference. A new WarioWare game is on the way to the new console in the form of Game & Wario, a Wii U launch title.
