What is Hello Games up to!?
It has probably been awhile since many of you have heard anything about No Man’s Sky (NMS), but things have not been quiet in the [multi]verse. Since the game was released, a lot of people complained and felt like they had no received what they were promised. There were issues with Hello Games (the developers) not communicating, and many people got very upset. HOWEVER, and I mean HOWEVER, Hello ga...

E3 2017 – Nintendo Showcase
Nintendo didn’t have a presentation on a stage, but rather a series of pre-recorded videos which were streamed. I guess it helped with the English subtitles for the Japanese speakers. It was also the shortest presentation of the lot and only went for half an hour. I was expecting a lot of Nintendo Switch games, but the entire thing was just Nintendo Switch games! Not that I was complaining. ...
E3 2017 – Sony Press Conference
I wasn’t so hyped for the Sony Conference as I thought I would be. They were in the theatre again this year, so I thought, oh yeah, it’ll be a bit exciting. But once they started, oh my goodness! Arabic music was played live on stage and then behind the seated band a real waterfall starts to fall! Nope, not animated on screen, actual water was falling from the ceiling! They had a water...

My main takeaway from the presentation of the Ubisoft press conference, was that it had the most crying and the most swearing. But anyway, let’s get into it. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Despite the rumours this caught me totally by surprise. But now the Mario and Rabbids crossover is official. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo joined Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot on stage to announce the collaboration. M...

E3 2017 – Microsoft Press Conference
After an impressive opening video showing fancy schmancy “what the Xbox feels like” visuals, Phil Spencer walks onstage with a t-shirt bearing an Xbox controller and the words “Player (1)” Project Scorpio Project Scorpio was given a name: The Xbox One X. Kareem Choudhry, the head of Xbox Software Engineering, came and spouted a lot of numbers to the crowd’s delight. A...
E3 2017 – EA Press Conference
Madden 18 EA starts the show by deafening the front few rows and sending a drum line dressed in American Football gear in front of the stage. I was prepared to wait through the release of the new Madden game, but when I saw the trailer I was intrigued. I’d played the NBA 16 story line and was impressed that such a thing was … a thing. But the new Madden 18 campaign Long Shot looked like it ...
