At first glance, Rush Bros. looks and plays a lot like many other great 2D platformers, such as Sonic, Mario or Super Meat Boy. The designs are simple, but fun, stylish and elegant.

One of Nintendo’s WiiU’s early claims was that they were gonna get bigger in the action genre. Their boldest attempt will be tested when Bayonetta 2 hits shelves this December.

Fans of TellTale Games’ award-winning The Walking Dead anxious for something to tide them over while waiting for Season 2 can look forward to a bridging story DLC entitled The Walking Dead: 400 Days.

With Matt Stone and Trey Paker dropping by the booth, you knew this game was something to behold. We made our ways to see the glorious
Months after its initial announcement, Microsoft has finally stepped back from the brink. In the aftermath of a lukewarm (at best) E3 reception, Microsoft’s President of Interactive Entertainment Business Don Mattrick announced the reversal of the embattled XBox One’s most onerous DRM features.

E3 2013 is sadly behind us, and my feet have finally returned to working order. One of the highlights of any E3 is checking out what the 3 bigs have to offer. (Well, that and Nintendo always has the most cushy of carpets.) Before even getting near the booth you could feel the energy and
