E3 Quick Hits

With E3 going on this week, we have decided to just highlight a few games that we think are going to be hits or something that you should look into.

Black Ops 2 Leaked & A New Fighter from Sony.

It seems like the rumors of Black Ops 2 are true after a leaked photo of pre-order cards from Target appeared online.  IGN broke the story and now we just have to wait for the official announcement on May 2.

In other news that I'm excited about, last night on Gametrailers TV they announced a new fighting game from Sony: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.  This is going to be a fighting game in the vein of Super Smash Brothers Melee, but obviously with PS3 characters. 

So far, only a handful of characters have been announced: Kratos, Parappa, Sweet Tooth, Sly Cooper and Fat Princess to name a few.  According to the interview last night on GT.TV, 3rd party characters are going to be in the game, but will not be announced until E3 later this year.  The game is scheduled to come out this holiday season and I am pretty excited about this one.  Check out the video from the official PlayStation Blog and tell us what you think.



One of the coolest things in the game is that one of the stages is a Little Big Planet level that is being created while the characters fight.  This game seems like it's going to be fun to play.

Video Game Time 6/14 Edition with Bonus!!

This week we get a couple of classic franchises returning and a movie tie-in that looks pretty good.

Video Game Week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Last year after the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Jimmy Fallon dedicated an entire week on highlighting some of the biggest games that were announced and revealed them on his show.  This year he's doing it again and he chose some great titles to highlight each night.

Video Game Time 6/7 Edition

This weeks games include:

• Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
• Infamous 2
• Operation Flashpoint: Red River
• Red Faction: Armageddon

Many new games were announced these past few days at E3 and be sure to read our post about some of these titles.  We have a few items to giveaway, but we are trying to create a contest to give these items to our readers.

Here's a sneak peek at one of next weeks releases.  Can you guess what game it is?

Microsoft Announcements

Hey everyone, I'm busy being more of a dad and less of a fan, but I was able to watch the Microsoft special today and I just wanted to touch on a few of the announcements/demos while the little monster angel is taking a nap.

• Kinect
• HALO HD
• HALOs 4 through 6
• MW3
• Gears of War
• Fable (The Journey)
• GHOST RECON
• MISC

So, the most exciting news has to be the remake of Halo in HD right? Oh wait, how about official confirmation on another trilogy of Halo games. Awesome.

The Kinect demos were quite impressive, the games looked interesting and it actually looked responsive. I might have to cough up the dough and get one this summer. I was especially intrigued about being able to scan in objects and use them in the virtual world. Baby Serafina in a fighting game? Yes please! How would you feel about getting beat up by a ten month old, lol. Throw yourself in Halo and those post victory umm...let's say cups of tea, start feeling just a bit more uncomfortable.

I really liked seeing how the voice recognition stuff worked, the Ghost Recon demo using Kinect was awesome. I'm sold. Modern Warfare 3, Gears of War 3, the New Tomb Raider, lots of stuff was demoed. The new Fable game didn't do much for me, but we'll see how it turns out.

Well, E3 has just begun and if you asked me it started with a bang, can't wait to see what else these brilliant minds have in store for us. Oh by the way, is it a good thing that names like Peter Molyneux, Cliff Bleszinski, and Dan and Sam Houser are like household names to me now?

Have fun with all of the E3 news!

Video Game Time 5/31 Edition

These are the new releases for the week of 5/31.

• Hunted: Demon's Forge

It's a slow week for game releases, but next week there is one release that I'm pretty excited about.  Can you guess what game this is?

Video Game Time E3 Edition

Where to begin, there was so much announced today that today's Video Game Edition will pretty much be just bullet points of what was announced.
