May was a relatively quiet month for new releases (it’s the calm before the storm of E3,) and while the industry suffered an overall decline in both software and hardware sales once again, a few companies did manage to generate some respectable sales during the month: WB Games’ Injustice proved that people never get tired [...]

The best week on the gaming calendar has come and gone. There was no shortage of great games at this year’s show, and when all is said and done, I think we’ll look back on E3 2013 in a few years and remember it fondly as one of the best years in the expo’s history.

Let me get this out the way first: I didn’t like the first two Final Fantasy XIII’s, so I’ve been pretty pessimistic about Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the final episode in the XIII “saga.” While I still have my doubts about the game, the brief demo I played today was impressive enough to give [...]

Of all the incredible titles on display at E3 2013, I have a soft spot in my heart for Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead: 400 Days. Absolutely one of the best arcade titles to come out of the current generation, the episodic adventure game forced players to make brutal, life-or-death decisions that equally impacted both [...]
