E3 08: Best (and worst) trailers

While there’s plenty of griping around the internets about a piss-poor E3’s boring press conferences and lack of big announcements, we saw plenty of great trailers for great games that we can’t wait to play. ... » Read More

E3 08: The Most Excruciating Moments

Wii Feature | Wii

E3 may be getting smaller and smaller, holding fewer and fewer surprises, but you can still count on the show for one thing - horrible, horrible press conferences. When a bunch of corporate suits and publicity flaks try to relate to gamers, while still hitting all their boardroom selling points, the results are never pretty. 2008 is certainly no different. After only two days, we've already suffered through an agonizing gauntlet of ... » Read More

E3 08: E3 in numbers!

Wii Feature | Wii

So there’s this book knocking around E3. It’s produced by the (yawn) Entertainment Software Association. It’s green. It’s full of, and I quote, “Essential facts about the computer and video game industry. It’s quite dull and probably only of use to marketing types who like pleated trousers, wear ear-piece phones (ACKKKK!) and talk in serious tones about “fiscal years.” Either way, we ... » Read More

E3 08: Nintendo E3 98 Vs Nintendo E3 08

Wii Feature | Wii

We're so depressed by Nintendo's E3 line-up that we've gone to all the bother of digging up a list of the games that Nintendo was actively promoting at E3 in 1998, just so we could compare them with this year's official line-up and subsequently have a moan about how things aren't as good as they used to be 10 years ago. ... » Read More

E3 08: E3 Then and Now

Wii Feature | Wii

If you've been following the games industry for any length of time you're keenly aware of E3. It was once the biggest show we had, a time of year when the entire world focused on the LA Convention Center and put on the loudest, craziest, busiest trade show video games could muster. Some loved it, others couldn't stand the shoulder-to-shoulder, body-odor addled conditions. Doesn't matter now, as the once proud and mighty E3 has shrunk like a ... » Read More

E3 08: Nintendo Press Conference

Wii Feature | Wii

As we did with Microsoft, we jotted all this down as it happened.Nintendo's big day, where they'll allegedly announce their biggest games for the rest of the year, began with a Shaun White Snowboarding reveal. As expected, it's all about the Balance Board, leaning and tucking to race down a rocky mountainside or pull off tricks in a halfpipe. Based on what we saw, Mr. White himself didn't do much other than simply lean to execute ... » Read More

The more open, the more reactive you can make it, the better the player experience.” ... » Read More

Homebrewing for all

Wii Feature | Wii

Sony’s great new mod-friendly game LittleBigPlanet is the most notable of a new breed of videogame about to sweep through the market. And we don’t just mean games populated with girly looking sack creatures. It has no discernible story, no bosses and, bucking the current trend, no cutscenes. In it, you will race through levels built from scratch by you. Or by your mates. ... » Read More
