How A Killer Heroes Of The Storm Combo Is Born
The most devastating attacks in a MOBA are the ones a team executes in unison. But that also means they’re all the trickier to pull off. After weeks of practice, one Heroes of the Storm player finally nailed a new ultra-powerful maneuver he’s calling the “Prison Bus.” Rekt. Heroes player and YouTuber Woundar posted his…

Things Are Looking Grim For Beyond Good & Evil 2
Shenmue III? Check. Final Fantasy VII remake? Check. The Last Guardian? Check. Beyond Good & Evil 2? Well, it’s complicated, but it’s not sounding good. The last official footage released from Beyond Good & Evil 2 was a teaser trailer at E3 2009: A few years later, leaked footage from the game seemed to surface.…

Everything 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? Good thing I had a half hour with the game’s producer to find out. Meet Kensuke Tanabe, veteran producer and designer…

Street 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. People are remarking that because Chun Li’s breasts act as if they were made out of jello, Street Fighter has gone “full Dead or Alive” in the upcoming sequel. This is not actually the case,…

Everything About LEGO Dimension‘s Portal Trailer Is Really Great
I would have said awesome, but she’s watching us. She’s always watching us. Oh GLaDOS, it’s so good to have you back, even in LEGO form—perhaps especially in LEGO form. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to lie directly to Batman’s cowled face, one of the many highlights of this trailer for LEGO Dimension’s Portal pack.…

Dark Souls 3 Isn’t The Last Game, Devs Say
When Bandai Namco announced Dark Souls 3, it called the sequel the “final episode,” suggesting Dark Souls was coming to an end. At E3, however, the developers said it wasn’t true. Though Dark Souls 3 isn’t coming until early 2016, a brief gameplay snippet was shown to press at E3. Additionally, series creator Hidetaki Miyazaki…

Final 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…

Diablo’s King Leoric And Monk Join Heroes of the Storm
Plus a treasure goblin. And I’m pretty sure that Blizzard just revealed a third new hero as well.

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…

Rock Band 4 Preorders Begin, Time To Hunt For Old Instruments
The next generation of Rock Band launches October 6, and instrument bundles now up for preorder—$130 for the guitar and $250 for guitar, mic and drums. Sounds like a good time to hunt for used instruments! I know, I know—stop preordering games. While Luke Plunkett hates the practice with a passion, I still find it…

Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event Sure Disappointed Lots of Folks
It’s not just in the English-speaking part of the internet that felt letdown. The Japanese-speaking part wasn’t exactly blown away, either. This year, Nintendo held a Digital Event for E3. There was news (like here, here, and here), and while some fans were happy (puppets!), many were not. No wonder Kotaku named it one of…

E3 2015 Winners & Losers: Day One
Welcome to the first actual day of E3 2015! Unlike the battlefield that was Day Zero, today was a little more chilled. Despite this, things still happened. Some of them were great. Some of them were not. Today’s events included press conferences from Nintendo and Square Enix, along with the first (and maybe last) dedicated…
