Terais an upcoming MMO action RPG that press got to see behind closed doors at E3. Now what the press saw behind those closed doors is ready for public consumption. Who knows why it took so long to be ready for consuming by the public, but I suppose beggars can’t be chooser. That statement does presuppose the fact that people were begging for this. After watching the video you might be wondering why you weren’t begging for this....

Yep, that’s right, within an interviewwith GamestarZenimax Studios confirmed the existence of a monthly fee. So why go this route? According to Zenimax Studos president and MMO legend Matt Firor, it’s to avoid “sacrifices and changes we weren’t willing to make....

My personal game of the show When I first heard that Nintendo was planning to focus exclusively onThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildfor its E3 2016 booth, I triple-checked the wording. Only hands-on withZelda? Really? That can’t possibly be right! But it was, and it sounded ridiculous — up until the show floor opened. Less than oneminuteinto E3, the line to play was already hours long, and it never let up all week....

What’s this week’s Kusoge doing with that chair!? The Nintendo 64 and original PlayStation basically lived their lives during the “Attitude” or “Monday Night Wars” era of wrestling. If you’re unfamiliar, it was this incredibly tacky time where cartoonish machismo was replaced with edginess and sexuality. I’m not much of a wrestling fan, but when I do watch oiled up muscle men hug each other in their underwear, I prefer the Golden Age of the ‘80s where superheroes won out against unambiguously evil athletes using the power of believing in themselves....

You can see how the Joy-Con detach here....

E3 2014 impressions from Max Homefront: The Revolutionpresents a future in which the Greater Korean Republic has successfully invaded the United States. Philadelphia has been lost, and that’s where you’re living, so naturally it’s on you to lead a revolutionary force in the region. There’s a feature that lets you modify weapons on the fly without the use of menus. That looks useful. And I like guerrilla warfare in open-ended games, generally....
