    SG E3 2011: You’ll Want to Play with these Aliens

    This game can be summed up in one sentence: it has aliens and guns… and it looks great! Aliens: Colonial Marines looks like it’s going to turn out to be a great experience filled with constant saliva falling from the ceiling and scared soldiers looking in the wrong direction before its too late.

    SG E3 2011: Anarchy Reigns Camera Ruins the Fun

    For this year’s E3, I was wondering if SEGA and Platinum Games could surprise me again like they did with Vanquish. I had not even heard of the game until I was at last year’s expo and the trailer caught my eye. When the game finally released, I loved the fast-action gameplay and it was…

    SG E3 2011: SEGA Games Worth Downloading

    I’m not one to pay much attention to arcade and PSN titles (well, unless they’re somehow related to Batman) since I’m usually focusing my attention on getting my friends to lend me their disc games.

I personally do not want motion control shoehorned into every game in the future, although that’s something Microsoft has stated may happen with all its first-party titles. However, I also won’t deny that there…

    I will admit that I was a little skeptical about Gotham City Impostors when I first heard about it. I believed it was just riding on the coattails of the Batman name to garner attention for another bland first-person shooter. But the girl dressed up as a fake Joker kept urging me over to try…

    SG E3 2011: Mass Effect 3 Brings on the Tears

    If you don’t know the general story of the Mass Effect universe by now, that means you have yet to play at least one Mass Effect game. Therefore, we can no longer be friends. Mass Effect 3 finally brings us to Earth to see the destruction the reapers are reaping upon our futuristic planet. It’s…

    SG E3 2011: Vita Bends Gravity & Makes Sweet Music

    While Lono snuck into the conference rooms to get some hands-on experience with the Vita, I was able to go to Sony booth’s VIP (thank you friends in high places) to also see if the Vita was worth the buzz it was receiving. Two games stuck out for me because of its interesting mechanics and…
