Don Mattrick, president of interactive entertainment at Microsoft, released this statement
Bullying online isn't a matter of fun and games.
June 18, 2013 New Challenger Approaching!
That's the sign that you're about to face a new character in Super Smash Bros.
One of the funnest parts of the Smash Bros. series is seeing what video game characters will join the party and become unlockable. They're usually from Nintendo games, but there have been others, in the past, from other companies like Sonic the Hedgehog, Solid Snake and the recent announcement of Mega Man joining the party. Although the new game's announcement did have two new characters, more are yet to be announced. Here are nine characters in the Nintendo universe I hope join in the fun in the new Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
E3 2013 has come and gone, but there's still quite a bit of fallout to cover from the show. Angelo will have more game previews up shortly. In the meantime, here are some images from the show floor that snapped while walking around looking for coffee and a game to play. The show this year was definitely a lot calmer than shows of the past. The companies didn't even try to out "booth babe" each other this year. Nope, this year's E3 was all about the games and the new systems. And giant statues.
Though most efforts to transfer video games into feature-length films have been a bust, it's no surprise that Ubisoft is looking to bring their most popular titles to the big screen. The company already has 'Assassin's Creed,' 'Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon,' and 'Splinter Cell' in the works, but they're now working on 'Far Cry,' 'Rabbids' and 'Watch Dogs' as well.
June 11, 2013 I decided to start playing a game I got last Christmas... and have just been too busy to start, and since that's my plan... I might has well celebrate Timmy's Basement with the "lil blue lady" from that certain game
June 11, 2013 In case you missed the 'Nintendo Direct' conference for E3, here it is in full.
June 10, 2013 With all of the talk of Xbox One now allowing lending games to your friends, Sony decided to release this video on how to share games using the new Playstation 4.
June 10, 2013 The E3 is happening right now. You'll find a lot of news of upcoming games but one stand-out already was the annoucement of the new Killer Instinct game made exclusively for Xbox One. Here's the preview.
June 5, 2013 If you look at most Nintendo games, from NES all the way to Wii-U, you may find this Nintendo Seal of Quality. It's something Nintendo does to prove approve all products for quality of the games and other accessories they release. There were a few NES games that must have slipped through and received this stamp of approval as they're terrible for various reasons. I'd like to challenge on their so-labeled 'quality'.
June 5, 2013 I very rarely play video games! I am too busy. But when I do, it is Tetris for me!
