Does upcoming multiplayer shooter Hawken need a story? It’s multiplayer-only, so maybe not. I know I liked it better when I could pretend it was just based on some obscure, bleak manga where the only things that mattered were money and staying alive. This rather expensive-looking trailer – directed by Jerry O’Flaherty, the art director…
Unless a giant, naked and mechanical Miyamoto crashes down the aisles during Nintendo’s E3 presentation, blaring a cover of Tori Amos’ cover of Raining Blood, this is likely to be the strangest thing we’ll see from the company at this year’s E3. And it wasn’t even shown at E3. It was shown before E3, during…

In a video shown during a pre-E3 conference, a user on the console jumps onto the controller and consults a GameFAQs-like service, while at the same his friend is monitoring Tweet-like messages on his…
