David Cage and his Quantic Dream studio have taken the stage at Sony’s E3 press conference to unveil a brand new game called Beyond Which is exactly what we were expecting them to do.

There was a theme running throughout Ubisoft’s press conference today, and being a French publisher, it’s not terribly surprising to see that theme was the wholesale murder of as many British people as possible.
Here are some new screenshots for Watch Dogs, Ubisoft’s original new action-adventure game that looks absolutely spectacular thus far. No word on which consoles Watch Dog will be on.
A rarity this E3: a brand new game. Not a sequel, not a reboot, but a brand new game based on brand new IP. And it looks amazing Taking place in an open-world city (so, think Grand Theft Auto), players in Watch Dog will have the power to control an entire city’s infrastructure via powerful…
EA’s 2013 revival of SimCity will sport one of the more controversial features of modern PC gaming: an always-online requirement, even in single-player. Developers of the game confirmed this during a recent demo of the new title for Kotaku “This is a mutiplayer game,” producer Kip Katserelis at EA development studio Maxis said, explaining the…
The new SimCity, set for release on PC early next year, looks delightful. It doesn’t look like it plays all that differently than the old ones, just updated, as they might say, for modern times. You draw some roads; paint some zoning lines, watch homes and business sprout. You connect power stations to power lines…
“The Dead Space experience that people know and love is intact,” Dead Space 3 art director art director Ian Milham recently told me and a bunch of other reporters for whom he was demoing next year’s sci-fi action game. Isn’t that the kind of thing you say only when you’re changing a ton of stuff?…
This morning in Japan, respected newspaper Nikkei ran a story that Nintendo is unveiling a new 3DS. According to the Nikkei, the new 3DS will have a 4.3 inch screen, which is far larger than the current model’s 3.02 inch screen. It could go on sale as early as this summer. What’s more, the report…

In a major presentation during its E3 press conferrence, Ubisoft has shown off several Assassin’s Creed III clips, highlighting both story sequences as well as combat. And when I say combat, I mean not only hero Connor stabbing British men in the kilt, but also animals. Lots, and lots, of animals.
Weapons don’t rust and enemies killed at checkpoints stay dead, but that’s not what makes early September’s Far Cry 3 so different from Far Cry 2 Nah, what makes it different is that this year’s Far Cry is about maybe losing your mind on a remote jungle island, where a brother and sister pull you…
The developers of this fall’s Assassin’s Creed III swear that the game’s protagonist, the 18th century half-Native-America/half-British assassin Connor won’t just kill redcoats in Revolutionary-era America. He might fight colonists… they even have Connor acknowledge that in a new E3 video demo, but they still aren’t showing it. So, for now, watch more redcoats die.…
Here’s a first look at Avengers: Battle for Earth, which Ubisoft will release this fall for Wii U and Xbox 360/Kinect
Remember Killer Freaks From Outer Space, Ubisoft’s quirky Wii U shooter that was shown off last year? Yeah, it’s basically been entirely retooled, and is now called ZombiU. It also got one of the most impressive trailers – complete with a stirring rendition of God Save the Queen – I’ve seen in a long time.
Here’s Rayman: Legends running on the Wii U. It supports up to five players using the Wii U controller, the new Wii U Pro controller and Wii Remotes. Not only does it look just lovely, but did I just see bits where it turned into a rhythm action platformer? Very, very impressive.
Seen today at Ubisoft’s press conference, here’s another look at Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Here’s a great trailer for Crysis 3, shown today at EA’s E3 press conference. Crysis 3 is out next February for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
