UncategorizedEverything We Could Find Out About That New Metroid Game
E3 2015’s top head-scratcher so far: Why would Nintendo bring back their dormant Metroid franchise, a series known for fairly quiet, careful solo sci-fi exploration, with a multiplayer shooter that’s also a sports game?

UncategorizedStreet Fighter’s Ridiculous New Breasts Are A Glitch, Capcom Says
If you’ve seen recent Street Fighter V footage from E3 you’ve probably noticed something a little different about Chun Li.

UncategorizedFinal Fantasy VII Scenes That Would Look Crazy In The Remake
The announcement trailer of Final Fantasy VII’s remake showed a slightly darker and more realistic world compared to the 1997 game. And with an aesthetic like that it’s almost impossible to imagine how some of the crazier parts of the original game would look. Take Cloud’s cross-dressing scene for example and compare it to the…

The Six Most Interesting Games I Played On E3 Day One, Ranked
At its worst, E3 is like a restaurant where the chef makes you watch a video of the meal he intends to make and then asks you to come back next year when it’s ready. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the chef will prepare a sample of the food and then let you watch him eat…

Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event Sure Disappointed Lots of Folks
