  • News: Nintendo's Super Mario 3D World: fun but what's new?

    Nintendo's Super Mario 3D World is the first multiplayer 3D Mario game and the goal, as ever, is to get from one end of the level to the next.

  • 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.

  • News: The Evil Within aims to make horror games scary again

    LOS ANGELES--Bethesda wants to bring the survival horror genre of games back to its roots. The company's upcoming title, The Evil Within, places you in a nightmarish world with little hope for escape.

  • News: No Internet access? Microsoft advises you to skip Xbox One, stay with aging Xbox 360

    LOS ANGELES--With the thunderous applause that came after Sony's E3 press conference ended still ringing in its bleeding ears, Microsoft came out in full damage control mode to try and explain to consumers why its more-expensive, less-consumer-friendly console is indeed the better choice.

  • News: PS4 release date in UK, specs

    Here's where we take a look at the PS4's release date in the UK as well as its confirmed specs and what it looks like.

  • 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.

  • News: Yes, there's a trade show for augmented reality, and its demos are enchanting

    Across the street from the Great America amusement park, a small gathering of augmented reality enthusiasts were building an amusement park of their own. Armed with iPads, Android phones, and high-tech headsets, the people of the Augmented World Expo set about creating a more exciting reality.

  • News: Ubisoft delivers a meaty game lineup

    Last year we saw our first glimpses of Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 3, and ZombiiU, all promising games that went on to achieve critical and commercial success. Judging by how great the games on display at Ubisoft's 2013 E3 press event looked, lightning may just strike twice.

  • News: EA sticking to the franchises it's famous for

    I hope you're a fan of Electronic Arts's current franchises, because you may be playing them for a while. EA's press conference at the E3 expo Monday was severely lacking in new games and series. Still, that's not necessarily a bad thing: EA is bringing some of its most well-known titles to next-generation consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, though most won't launch until sometime next year.

  • News: Ubisoft's racer The Crew blurs the line between online and offline worlds

    EA ain't the only company capable of cranking out enticing-looking racing games. Mere hours after EA showed off the cloud-connected world of Need for Speed: Rivals, Ubisoft announced The Crew, an open-world racer crafted by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections (which you may know as the tandem behind Driver: San Francisco.)

  • News: Sony drops the mic: PS4 to cost $400, no used game restrictions

    On Monday night, the hammer fell. Here at E3 2013, Sony took the stage hours after an admittedly impressive Microsoft presentation, looked directly into its competitor's eyes, and reminded us all of the PlayStation's vaunted heritage.

  • News: Tom Clancy's The Division may be the best Ubisoft game announced at E3

    The country is in collapse, brought to its knees by an apocalyptic plague distributed via bank notes on Black Friday. New York lies dreary and devastated. Everyone--well everyone who's left--is a ravenous threat.
