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.…

Summer Game Fest is unofficially kicking off the E3 season today, and it promises to be an impressive show. With new games to be announced and plenty of updates on other titles, there will be plenty to get excited about. The team at GamesReviews is going to be tweeting news and reaction through the show, so be sure to stay tuned through. Then you can expect our usual analysis afterwards – what worked, what didn’t, what should you be most…

Games always get overhyped before they come out and Elden Ring is no exception. While Geoff Keighley is promising 30+ games to be shown off during the Summer Games Fest - kickoff to E3 2021 - everyone seems to be focused on one thing: will Elden Ring be shown off today? While we cannot answer that with any certainty, we can talk about what we know heading into today's event!

There’s a lot of problems with the way Microsoft are seen in by parts of the gaming community – and the acquisition hype is becoming part of that. See how gleefully “Craig” was shared after the Halo reveal as proof of that. I’ve never seen a quarter second image shared so widely, even though it would be easy to do for just about any game you care to name. There’s another issue forming though. It’s become increasingly apparent the closer…

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…

After hitting PC and Nintendo Switch, Train Station Renovation makes its debut on Xbox consoles. It’s a simulator of a renovator who restores abandoned stations and old trains, which distinguishes itself through, among others, economic elements. The release date for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S is set for June 2nd this year.

Today Ubisoft finally pulled the curtain back a little more on the highly anticipated Far Cry 6. Also giving us a date after its initial delay to October 7th of this year, and some sweet in game footage as well. Below is the official statement from Ubisoft. Montreal — May 28, 2021 — Today, Ubisoft announced Far Cry® 6 will release on October 7 worldwide on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Stadia, Amazon Luna and for…

Last night, Square Enix had a Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary stream. I watched it on youtube and I was blown away, especially by one of the surprise announcements! I can’t stop thinking about it. And so now its time to talk about all the games that were shown off last night. It is the Dragon Quest series 35th anniversary this year and Square Enix celebrated it in style last night. They held a special stream on youtube that talked about…

There’s been a fresh wave of concern over the prospect of “cross-gen” games this week – or games that’ll come to both the PS4 generation consoles and PS5/Series X. It’s getting beyond old. Every few months it’s the same thing: “we can’t see what these devices are truly capable of until they ditch PS4 and Xbox One.” And while that’s partly true in some extreme use cases – situations where the game’s physics are tied to a better GPU or…

Covid, strange working conditions, a general feeling of overhype – the first E3 since 2019 is going to be the same as all E3s, but with added barriers. That means a little bit underwhelming, and 2021 has so much more to take into account. That’s not to say it’ll be unwatchable. It’ll be the usual combination of okay trailers, seemingly random mid-tier games being advertised like they’re AAAA and moments of insanity both good and bad. But gamers are famously…
