E3 2015: A Postmortem
E3 is over and we are all tired and less than human now. Specifically Jason, who is now a Sith Lord apparently. Kirk, Jason and I caught up over breakfast this morning (the eggs were delicious) and talked about the games and our experiences over three days of E3 2015’s showfloor. We answered your questions…

You Can’t Play Zelda: Triforce Heroes With Only Two People
You can play the newest Zelda game alongside two other people. You can play it by yourself. But you can’t, according to director Hiromasa Shikata, play Zelda: Triforce Heroes with a party of two. Bad news for anyone who was hoping to plow through the co-op dungeon game—announced for 3DS during Nintendo’s conference on Tuesday—with…

The PlayStation-Activision deal for the next Call of Duty will grant PlayStation owners 30 days of exclusivity to DLC before it comes to other platforms, Sony’s Adam Boyes told us at E3. That’s across the board, including PC, so basically this is the old Xbox CoD deal with Sony swapped in.

How To Download Xbox 360 Games If You’re Not A Preview Member
Microsoft might close this loophole eventually, but for now, it seems to be working. If you want to get in on backwards compatibility right now, this method comes courtesy of Gamingbygamers on YouTube. It only seems to work with digitally purchases on Xbox 360.

Angelic Diablo Is A Walking Contradiction
Hey there big guy. What the heck happened to you? Aren’t you supposed to be a Lord of Hell? Heroes of the Storm doesn’t have the best character skins in the MOBA game, but they’ve been getting a lot better recently. Exhibit A: the new “Angelic Diablo” skin for the classic Blizzard villain, which was…

Players Are Pissed Over Guild Wars 2 Expansion Pricing
Earlier this week ArenaNet announced preorders for Heart of Thorns, the first major expansion for Guild Wars 2. Then all hell broke loose over the upgrade’s $50 base price tag.

The Most Interesting Games at E3, Day 3
I played 59 video games, demos and prototypes at this year’s E3, a mere 16 of them on the expo’s third and final day. Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst or Just Cause 3 would have made it an even 60, but EA took close to 90 minutes of my two-hour booth tour to get me through Star…

Eight Things You Should Know About World Of Final Fantasy
Moments before stealing the show at Sony’s press conference by announcing the Final Fantasy VII remake that may make it in time for the PS5, Square Enix whipped out World of Final Fantasy, a chibi-sprite game that promised to be “adorably familiar” and looked like something made for kids. On Monday night, most of us…

25 Minutes Of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Here is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s entire E3 gameplay demo. It’s pretty hot. Normally in order to view this demo before, like, a week from now, you’d have to go crawling through E3’s vents and stain your sensation-less mechanical arms with the battery acid-infused blood of countless Square Enix employees. But not now, not today.…

Dishonored Player Might As Well Be A Human Killing Machine
It is such a joy to watch one of the best Dishonored players in the world perform incredible feats of murder. In this montage, Dishonored player StealthGamerBR is basically saying ‘Screw stealth. Chaos route is way more fun.’ And after watching this, I’m inclined to agree. Damn!

Fans Are ‘Fixing’ The New Doom‘s Colors, Speed
The new Doom looks like a cartoonishly over-the-top romp through gore hell, land of infinite sorrow (and gore). But I don’t know. It kinda feels like something’s missing. Some players have taken to imagining what the long-in-development Doom reboot would be like if it stuck a little closer to its roots. Linkzaki sped it up…

Even Without The Option, Heroes Of The Storm Players Still Surrender
“Just let them win, it’s over” one of my teammates typed. “Not yet,” I responded. He didn’t listen. Blizzard formally announced that its new MOBA Heroes of the Storm wouldn’t come with a surrender option back in April. While I originally disagreed with their reasoning, I now realize it was fairly sound. “We believe the…
