E3 2012 Impressions: Astro A50 Wireless Headset
Sometimes it’s hard to know when you have a bad headset until you’ve listened to one that’s better. It’s not something you think much about as a system like the Xbox 360 will often come with one or will have one that will come bundled with a necessary peripheral. So moving from a free headset…

E3 2012 Impressions: DmC: Devil May Cry (Microsoft Xbox 360/Sony PlayStation 3)
I’m of the opinion that franchise reboots are wholly unnecessary and only succeed in alienating the fans that enjoyed the source material of what was being altered. How many people do you know are excited that Devil May Cry is hitting the reset button? Tomb Raider? Castlevania? What successful video game series has ever gotten…

E3 2012 Impressions: Dragon Ball Z Kinect (Microsoft Xbox 360)
Call me crazy, but when Namco Bandai announced that they were making a Dragon Ball Z Kinect, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps this would be the game that would make me want Microsoft’s motion peripheral. It has everything going against it: the motion controls might not work right, the game might not have…

E3 2012 Impressions: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (Sony PlayStation 3/Vita)
When screenshots for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale were first leaked, I thought they were fake. They looked very much like a Super Smash Bros. hack to me. Then, when the officially announcement came and there was actual footage of the game in action, it almost looked even more fake to me. Having come away from…

E3 2012 Impressions: Persona 4 Arena (Microsoft Xbox 360/Sony PlayStation 3)
I’ll be blunt: I suck at fighting games. This isn’t to say I won’t play them, I just don’t go into them expecting to best anyone particularly seasoned at it. Since I had an interest in the Persona titles, particularly the fourth entry, I figured I’d at least give the fighting game spinoff a try…

E3 2012 Impressions: Code of Princess (Nintendo 3DS)
One of the most frustrating things about Treasure, as a company, is that despite being incredibly successful at introducing new IP’s that are well revered by fans, they always seem to choke when concocting follow up games. There are exceptions, of course. I felt that Sin & Punishment: Star Successor was pretty decent, and I…

Review: Tomba! (Sony PS3/PSP)
Tomba! Publisher: MonkeyPaw Games Developer: Whoopee Camp Genre: Platformer Release Date: 06/19/2012 Tomba! was one of those cult classic games that I completely missed the boat on, mostly on account of not owning a PlayStation when it was first released. I had heard good things about it, but by the time I had worked up…

E3 2012 Impressions: New Super Mario Bros. U (Nintendo WiiU)
The other major game from the Nintendo booth that I couldn’t wait to try out was New Super Mario Bros. U. I was a huge fan of its Wii predecessor, so I was anxious to have the opportunity to see what kinds of new things they had done with this version. And the truth of…

E3 2012 Impressions: Pikmin 3 (Nintendo WiiU)
Of all the games that were discussed during Nintendo’s press conference, Pikmin 3 probably made me the most giddy. Here was a game that had been discussed long ago as being in development for the Nintendo Wii and just never surfaced for one reason or another. Now it’s one of the launch titles for the…

E3 2012 Impressions: Legasista (Sony PlayStation 3)
Fans of the Cladun series of games should feel right at home with the upcoming Legasista by System Prisma and NIS America. It’s an action RPG with dungeon crawler elements played from a top down perspective, though not quite as retro looking as its predecessors. Legasista takes place in a world that has abandoned science,…

E3 2012 Impressions: The Witch and the Hundred Knights (Sony PlayStation 3)
The Witch and the Hundred Knights had the rare honor of earning my interest based on name alone. I mean, think about the potential of a name like that. You know there’s going to be a witch involved. Is it a good witch? A bad witch? Do you play as her? And then there are…

E3 2012 Impressions: Bellator MMA Onslaught (Microsoft Xbox Live Arcade/Sony PlayStation Network)
One of the biggest challenges when trying out a game that belongs to a particular property, such as UFC, MMA, or even something like WWE, is that most of them are built as simulators. What I mean by that is they are constructed primarily for the fans, and random onlookers who may not have much…
