  • News: We made a game in only 20 minutes with Microsoft's Project Spark

    LOS ANGELES--Project Spark is the most intriguing game Microsoft brought to E3, because it really isn't a game at all--it's a toolbox for making your own games and sharing them with others.

  • News: Hordes of zombie games overrun E3

    LOS ANGELES--If there's one thing we can take away from this year's E3, it's that zombie games have overrun the show--almost like a horde of zombies. There are zombie adventure games, zombie third-person shooters, zombie MMOs, and even zombie strategy games. It's been difficult to walk more than five feet on the show floor without bumping into another game infested with shambling undead monsters.

  • News: Square Enix provides more questions than answers at E3 Q&A

    While Sony and Microsoft duked it out with over-the-top press conferences this week at E3, Square Enix's talk with the media took on a more low-key feel. The company held a small gathering at a nearby hotel to show us more trailers for its upcoming releases and answer any questions we might have had. Still, while the trailers did their job at holding our attention, some of the answers we got from Square Enix were less than satisfactory.

  • News: Heck no, Ouya won't go. Even if E3 calls the cops

    The company behind the Android-based console Ouya is at E3 this week to show off its wares and make announcements along with the rest of the gaming world. Unlike most of the industry, however, Ouya Inc. isn't playing by E3's rules, and the trade show's management reportedly doesn't like it.

  • News: Touring Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online

    LOS ANGELES--It was a productive afternoon: I rescued a pig, solved a murder, and foiled a regicide--not bad for a sell-sword who's 90 years-young. At this year's E3 I scored some time with a beta build of Bethesda's new MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online. I explored the lands of Tamriel as a decrepit mercenary, bent on stealing anything and everything that wasn't bolted down.

  • Opinion: Drifting down memory lane with Mario Kart 8

    They say you never forget how to ride a bike; I'd imagine the same is true for go-karts. Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Wii U had only just been announced, but within seconds of picking up that quirky tablet-controller at Nintendo's E3 2013 press briefing, I'd fallen into the old ways--drifting expertly through unfamiliar curves, scooping up coins, and smiling genuine smiles with gamers I'd never met.

  • News: Hands on with ARMA III and DayZ, PC gaming's E3 vanguards

    E3 has never been a bastion of PC gaming, but the pickings are incredibly slim at this year's show. Sure, there's a virtual cornucopia of console titles destined to land on PCs as part of a cross-platform push, and yeah, Sega is showing off the PC-exclusive Rome: Total War II, but after walking the floor for a couple of hours, it's clear that pure PC gaming is pretty much relegated to two locations at E3: The IndieCade and the Bohemia Interactive booth.

  • News: Hands-on: Saints Row 4 is the most bombastic game at E3

    E3 isn't just a showcase for shiny new hardware and DRM debates; it's also packed with great games, including a few that will come out this year for current-gen consoles. A playable version of Saint's Row 4 is tucked away in publisher Deep Silver's E3 suite, and the demo showcases the sort of over-the-top action and ridiculous characters that make the Saint's Row series stand out.

  • News: Keep your eye on these three great PlayStation 4 indie games

    Every year the Electronic Entertainment Expo is dominated by giant booths showcasing big games from big companies. It's overwhelming, but between the aisles and in the quiet corners you can find hidden gems; indie games that are smaller, cheaper, and less bombastic than your average Microsoft game--I'm looking at you, Halo--yet far more interesting. After only a few days at E3, we've already found a ton of great indie games coming next year to PlayStation 4 that you should know about.

  • News: Eyes-on: Oculus Rift VR headset ramps up the resolution

    At first glance, the tiny conference room tucked away in a back corner of the L.A. Convention Center's West Hall seemed like any other: cramped, with white walls and gray carpeting, under the unrelenting glow of fluorescent lighting.
