The Xbox/Bethesda event was today and…well, actually it was really really good! Let’s talk about it! I had high hopes going into the Xbox/Bethesda event and guess what? They mostly delivered! I say mostly because I didn’t feel like there was anything too surprising during the event and they did make one misstep, which I will talk about later, but otherwise… The event started with Starfield. It was just a CGI trailer with no gameplay but it looked amazing. I…

After watching the trailer for Far Cry 6 on today's E3 Livestream I can't help but wonder if Ubisoft has found the perfect blend of elements and setting for a Far Cry game. I know everyone has their own opinions on what the best story has been in the Far Cry franchise (but if you think it was anything other than FC5 you're just plain wrong) as well as their favourite setting. But this trailer showed me something exciting - something fresh. 

Ubisoft had their E3 event today and…well…look at the title. I mean, I know that kind of sums things up, but let me go into more detail. Ubisoft’s E3 event was today and…well technically its still going on as I write this. They have a post-show event about this Rainbow Six thing. I do not care. I have it on anyway. Let’s back up. What did I think of the pre-Ubisoft show? Um. It was not much of a pre-show…

Summer Game Fest, the Geoff Keighley pre-E3 event, happened today. I watched it all and now I have some thoughts on it. I thought that Summer Game Fest would never end. The Geoff Keighley event lasted a long time and after that was an indie game focused Day of the Devs event. Let’s talk about the main Summer Game Fest event first. Geoff Keighley is the host of the Game of Awards an also the host of Summer Game Fest.…

Its E3 weeeek! Well E3 technically starts later this week but its sooon. And so begins my final craZy E3 predictions column. In this one I talk about Microsoft and third party developers like Square Enix. What will they show?! E3 week is here! Though it officially starts on Saturday, there will be announcements throughout the week. You can bet on it. And Summer Game Fest is on Thursday! Whew. But before everything gets too crazy, lets get craZy and…

Nintendo of America announced their E3 plans today! Let’s take a look and talk about it some. Nintendo will have an E3 Direct on June 15th at 11:00am central time. Following that they will have a Nintendo Treehouse Live. The Direct will be about 40 minutes long, focused on games ” mostly releasing in 2021″. and the Treehouse will last for about three hours! Whew. 40 minutes for a Nintendo Direct is pretty long. You have to especially consider how…

We still have a few weeks to go but I figured, hey, why not start my crazy E3 predictions!? Today I’ll throw out some never-will-this-happen Nintendo E3 predictions, next week will be Sony, and right before E3 I’ll talk about Microsoft and third parties. Let’s a goooooo! Nintendo has not officially announced their E3 plans yet (unless they do and I have to rewrite this). So I am going to guess their plans… On the Thursday or Friday before E3…

Last year there was no E3. It wasn’t a great year for games. This year so far has been better but developers are still struggling a bit. And E3 is returning. I want to talk about E3 and why gamers shouldn’t set their expectations too high. E3 is returning this year. It will be an all virtual event though, so there will be no show floor for press, developers, and celebrities’ to attend. Most of the big publishers will be…

As we all know by now, Nintendo loves to surprise its fans. Today, out of nowhere, a brand new game that we knew nothing about was announced: Game Builder Garage! This new game will let players build their own games. Check out the trailer below and then come back here for some thoughts on Game Builder Garage for Nintendo Switch. Game Builder Garage isn’t the first game by Nintendo to let players create their own games of course. Warioware DIY,…
