Tritton Gaming Headset hands-on at E3 2009

Posted on 09 June 2009 by ClassicMoments

Whether you’ve noticed it or not, gaming headsets are more common than ever. Not only do gamers want to hear the sound, but they also want to communicate with the people they’re playing online with. And if you’re playing a certain genre of games, sound can be a crucial part; with current audio technology, you can literally [...]

Posted on 08 June 2009 by ClassicMoments

Sorry if we’re late on the articles. We still have more E3 coverages to come.

Wet @ E3 2009: Rubi takes on the world

Posted on 07 June 2009 by Andrew

One game I haven’t had a chance to discuss yet is WET, centered on a blade-wielding, gun-toting, wall-running, frequently-acrobatic “problem fixer” named Rubi Malone. Now, Rubi hasn’t exactly had an easy time of things. She gets crossed, double-crossed, and then some, until the only thing keeping her safe is her own weapon-filled hands and sprinting [...]

We’re changing our layout

Posted on 07 June 2009 by ClassicMoments

This is probably one of the worst time for us to change our layout, since so many more E3 posts are being written by our editors. But somehow the current layout is breaking and it’s shifting faster than Michael Jackson’s face. We gotta spank it and then some for the new layout so even if you [...]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Mixed thoughts

Posted on 05 June 2009 by Andrew

While there were many announcements Nintendo didn’t quite provide us with at E3 (Zelda for Wii, anyone?) they certainly came through on another major first-party front: Mario. Mario vs Donkey Kong, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, etc. It is the latter that I myself had [...]

Droplitz: Hands-on at E3 2009

Posted on 04 June 2009 by Andrew

While I may not fully agree with the recent “casual games” terminology that has emerged as of late, I do acknowledge the fact that there are some games with widespread, general appeal. I am here to tell you that Droplitz is one such game. While it was merely one of many games available for hands-on [...]

Darkest of Days: E3 2009 Impression

Posted on 04 June 2009 by ClassicMoments

When we received a showcase invitation from Phantom EFX, a highly successful online casino game publisher, it struck me as odd. I knew them only as focusing on online casino game publishing, with two of their games placing in the “Top 10 Sellers of the Year” in the PC gaming category in both 2006 and [...]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: First impressions

Posted on 04 June 2009 by Andrew

Kingdom Hearts as a series came about from the most unlikely of alliances, and it continues to head in unexpected directions to this day. I have to admit that I had serious doubts about the series moving to the DS–Chain of Memories on the GBA set out to be something different from the very beginning, [...]

Some things to look forward to: – WET (Slick female protagonist takes on scores of enemies with blade and bullets alike) – Brink (Smoothest drop-in/out I’ve [...]

Darkest of Days – E3 2009 Day 1

Posted on 02 June 2009 by Andrew

Time travel may be a plot device we’ve seen before, but Darkest of Days puts a great spin on it by encouraging players to take advantage of and enjoy the anachronisms it produces. Change the tide of history with a little help from future technology? Sign me up! Purposely stick with an older weapon for [...]

Rock Band Beatles!

Posted on 02 June 2009 by Andrew

So, we’ve just gotten our first look at Rock Band Beatles, and we’re solidly impressed. Beyond the fun of unreleased tracks and a new Rock Band built from the ground up, it’s clear that they have gone out of their way to make this game one everyone can enjoy. Things to look forward to: – [...]

Fun Gaming Facts

The Little Sisters from BioShock didn't start their life as little girls at all, but rather tiny mole-like creatures who scuttled around Rapture collecting Adam. Early concept art also shows them as retro '50s-style robots, too. We think they made the right choice.
