E3 2012 has come and gone, and while there were plenty of great games at the show, there were some high profile titles that were notably absent from this year’s conference.
While everyone seems to sort of agree that this year’s E3 was fairly lacking of any epic announcements, that doesn’t mean everyone had a bad time. Say what you will about the rest of E3, but for the SimCity reboot, it was a good week. This …
I came to Sony’s E3 booth hoping that Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale would be a fun (if unoriginal,) multiplayer brawler. It wasn’t. Instead, I found myself repeatedly playing the demo for God of War: Ascension’s multiplayer, which seems like it will be the fun, innovative, unpredictable …
Ever since Resident Evil 4, RE fans have been divided between (smart) people who saw RE4 as the savior of the rapidly aging franchise and those who saw it as the game that killed that the traditional survival horror genre. Personally, I loved RE4; as much …

Epic Mickey always looked pretty amazing to me, but I never actually went out and bought the game. This mostly has to do with the fact that I haven’t touched my Wii in two years and I don’t own a Kinect or Move. With that being …
Pikmin 3 was the highlight of Nintendo’s mostly bland E3 press conference, so I made sure that it was the first game I played when I visited Nintendo’s booth this afternoon. As you’d expect from a game created by legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, the game …
