Last night, Nintendo surprised fans and pundits with a startling announcement. At June's Electronic Entertainment Expo, there will be no grand display on the stage of the Nokia Theatre. The live orchestra will not be returning, and Shigeru Miyamoto will not magically pull a Pikmin from his pocket in front of hundreds of onlookers. Nintendo is trading up the pomp and circumstance of a stage presentation with opp... Read More.

When the PlayStation 4 was revealed in February, much was made of the redesign to Sony's iconic controller.

In order to provide us with a streamlined view of the new controller and its features, Sony has put together a brief v... Read More.

Capcom is letting NEVEC forces and the Snow Pirates go at it in Lost Planet 3's four multiplayer modes. The game also features six maps where combatants on either side will have to battle each other as well as the hostile elements of the planet E.D.N.

If you're a Minecraft fan with an ounce of curiosity and access to the Internet, you've undoubtedly seen some pretty insane things. The latest impressive build we've seen may not have the same geek cred as the USS Enterprise, BioShock Infinite's Columbia, or Jurassic Park, but it's no less grand in scale. As part of an exhibit on customization at the Oakland Museum of California, the Museum of Art and Digital... Read More.

Kickstarter is becoming a feeding ground for larger and larger game projects from already established developers, which is why I like to see that games like A.N.N.E. still have a shot . Judging from the pitch and its accompanying trailer, A.N.N.E. is also a rarity in that there appears to be more substance to it than just old-school visuals. Gameplay is divided in two halves. In on-ship sections, players fly... Read More.
