Explosive adjectives are great, but improved controls is the keyword we were looking for in this latest E3 trailer for Super Scribblenauts. Having found hope and promise in the pitch, the only thing missing is some much needed hands on time this week.
In the meantime, catch said trailer after the break.
Back at E3 2009, Bioware’s cinematic glimpse into The Old Republic stole plenty of attention, almost entirely by offering fans hope that the franchise could regain some cred after years of abuse. This year is no different, except that the latest cinematic take on the game might put expectations through the roof.
Catch over five minutes of what is undoubtedly the only Star Wars game you need to care about this week, after the break.
UPDATE – EA went and yanked the video, see, I’ve been telling you those guys are no fun for years and there’s more proof :/
UPDATE 2 – Video is Back
What a day yesterday, with Project Natal getting rebranded as Kinect – see it’s like it connects you even more to your 360, but also hits on Kinetics! Get it?!
Okay, so maybe I haven’t been blown away by the games so far, which may or may not work very well, but as one Editor reminded me this morning there’s still the Minority Report styled menu controls.
As much fun as I might have poking fun at this device before Microsoft’s Press Conference reiterates why everyone should run out and buy it this fall, I feel obligated to warn you about some very disturbing video I saw this morning – detailing what became of one unfortunate family with the device in question.
Video evidence after the break.
Of all the photos you might be catching of the Convention Center before E3 begins, and all the gaming imagery gloriously plastered across the building and the city, Epic Mickey is the sharpest bit of marketing I’ve seen in quite a long time.
Since the show hasn’t started yet, I really have no idea what to expect – or how much of the game has been reworked since the initial reveal – but someone has done a terrific job with the art on this campaign, and it’s deserving of a seldom given nod as far as I’m concerned.
Catch a bit more Mickey after the break.
As expected, Los Angeles is one crazy and buzzing place today. Microsoft’s strange and possibly surreal Natal event goes down tonight, and Hideo Kojima was on the town signing autographs earlier today – hard to believe the Convention Center doesn’t officially open the showroom doors until Tuesday.
Our own Aileen Viray was just down that way, and being much smarter than me brought a camera along with her – allowing for the revelation that a giant poster of Kevin Butler will be looking down and swinging a Move controller over everyone this year.
Catch a quick glimpse after the break.
After watching some rough footage for Konami and Arc System Works’ Hard Corps: Uprising, I don’t know if every Contra fan is going to readily get on board – if you’ve met any you know they always bring high expectations and a well warranted hesitation to new entries in the franchise.
Even with the poor quality of the video, the game looks to offer plenty of what I’m after however – speed, gorgeous backgrounds, and character designs and animations that pop with a pulse. Show me some bosses this week and I’m ready to enlist for this anime nostalgia trip.
You can catch footage of a single and co-op run after the break. Let me know if you agree, or if you think I need to take my meds before the show starts.
As agents of Team Sugar disperse throughout Los Angeles, it seems appropriate to put together a list of what’s topping our radar before the mad rush begins.
We’ve weaved together a list of studios that seem poised to steal most of our attention – as well as some others that we’re cautiously optimistic about – and present it for your reading pleasure while standing ready to be proven completely wrong by the time this yearly dance plays out. More Perfect Dark or Rez 2 or something from Grasshopper or Level-5 could turn us around pretty quick, just saying.
Catch our favorite contenders after the break – and be sure to let us know your own early picks for E3 2010.
