Dishonored’s Gameplay Stabs Anything That Moves
Most of what we’ve seen of Bethesda’s Dishonored thus far has been in the form of trailers. If you’d prefer to see someone actually playing the game, check out the clip above. Just…you might want to mute. The commentary grates almost instantly. Hardly ideal, I know, but “hardly ideal” should be the motto of E3.

Next-Gen Engine Shows What Future Final Fantasy Games Could Look Like
Using a Final Fantasy motif as a showcase, Square Enix has revealed at E3 its Luminous Engine, which it describes as being for “next generation quality games”. The next generation of consoles may not be at this show, but their graphics certainly are. Everything you see in this video – dubbed Agni’s Philosophy – and…

It’s Time for Pictures of People Looking Like Idiots Playing the Wii U
Lifestyle photography. The art of making models look like they’re actually using a product, and are either enjoying it or at least doing it properly. Some call it a lost art. I call it one impossible to master. But bless companies for trying, because were it not for that, then we wouldn’t have comic relief…

Star Wars: 1313 Looks Good Enough to Rip the Ears Off a Gundark
We saw a pretty muddy clip yesterday, but today Lucasarts has released official media for its upcoming Star Wars title 1313. And, yeah, at least visually, the thing looks great I’m not sure the world, let alone this E3, needs another third-person, cover-based shooter, but just seeing the “classic” Star Wars universe make a video…

See Nintendo’s Hardcore Wii U Controller in White
Earlier this week, Nintendo showed off a new Pro Controller that’s designed to be used when playing titles that are ported from other systems, and not necessarily designed with the Wii U’s unique capabilities in mind. The first model shown was in black, but you know, since the console is also sold in white the…

Oh Dear, the Wii U’s Controller Battery Only Lasts For 3-5 Hours
Here’s some E3 buzzkill for you: it seems the battery in Nintendo’s Wii U control pad only lasts for 3-5 hours. That’s…wow. That’s less than a lot of you would spend during a serious session with a game. This is going to be a problem given the nature of the controller; it’s one thing to…

See Mario’s Creator Act Like a Goofball On Stage at E3
The highlight of today’s E3, for me at least, was seeing Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto take the stage at the company’s press conference and finally take the wraps off Pikmin 3 The reveal itself was welcome, but what I really liked about it was seeing the dude go crazy with it. For many people, his…

Wow, Final Fantasy XIV, You’ve Changed
Final Fantasy XIV’s launch was so terrible that Square Enix had to pull the game and promise to not bring it back until it was fixed. I don’t know if their gameplay tweaks have had any effect, but I do know the game is at least looking a lot nicer. Stay tuned later tonight for…

Oh, If Only This Majora’s Mask HD Trailer Had Been Real
Earlier today, pranksters tried to pass this video off as official. Something Nintendo would actually be showing at its E3 press conference. It didn’t, of course, because it’s fake, but just because it’s fake doesn’t mean it’s not terrific

That Very Strange, Very Japanese Pokémon Game is Still Coming Over
Just in case you thought it was a bad (or good!) dream, here’s a trailer to remind you that, yes, Pokémon Conquest – otherwise known as Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition – is inexplicably seeing a Western release

Japan’s Wonderful Animal Fighting Game is Still Coming to the West. YES.
Tokyo Jungle, Sony Japan’s game about post-apocalyptic fighting animals in a devastated Tokyo metropolis, may seem like the most Japanese thing ever. And it is. That’s not stopping the game from coming to Western PS3 consoles, though. While the game was originally revealed for European PS3s all the way back in 2010, the resulting silence…

Of Course There’s a Rabbids Game for the Wii U
It wouldn’t be a Wii launch without a Rabbids game. And so here we have the trailer for Rabbids Land. Has the charm worn off these once-quirky Ubisoft mascots? I’d say the charm worn off long ago. Sorry, little guys.
