E3 2017 Predictions

It’s that time of year again. E3 is set to kick off Saturday with EA’s Press conference and then there’s a series of others from the big guys like Microsoft and Bethesda Sunday, Sony and Ubisoft Monday we’re in for quite a show this year. I’ve compiled a few predictions I have for what we may see announced in the coming days. EA will likely show off all their sports games and announce a partnership with Sony for Fifa as well as more Esports competitions with BIG BIG money to be had. I also think they just might announce a remaster/re-release of the supremely popular series from Bioware, Knights of the Old Republic and a new IP of some sort from Bioware. While we’re on…

Solstice Chronicles: MIA Releases the Best 10 Second Trailer of all Time

Close the competition. The single best 10 second trailer of all time has made it’s way online today from developer Ironward for their upcoming twin stick shooter title, Solstice Chronicles: MIA.

Previously set for an August 22 release date, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions have announced the upcoming Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been delayed. The sequel to the critically-acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will now arrive on October 10, 2017. I know. What a freaking drag is that right?

Everspace Review (Xbox One)

Everspace is a new sci-fi space shooter epic from German game developer, Rockfish Games which got its start as a Kickstarter campaign. The game sets players in the shoes of Adam Roslin’s clone(s) who also happens to have a severe case of amnesia. While progressing through the game, you’ll begin to unwrap pieces of your past through flashbacks. Soon after the game’s setting is revealed, the player is throw out to the expanses of space and into a tutorial teaching you about the intricacies of Everspace. Each stage has multiple sectors and paths to reach all leading to dungeon style levels of space. I say dungeon style because there’s no other real way to explain it.

Friday the 13th The Game – Review (XBox One)

I should preface that this review is based off of approximately 20 hours of gameplay over the course of the weekend and while I’m fully aware of the ongoing server issues, I didn’t really use them as a factor in reviewing this game because I was able to get a solid 20+ hours in of playing via private matches and searching for gamers option on XBox (really a saving grace this weekend) What is there to say about Friday the 13th? Watching these movies is easily one of my most beloved and cherished memories growing up in the 80s. My best friends and I were horror movie junkies and Friday the 13 was a cornerstone of our youth. I even had the original game for…
