E3 Quick Impressions: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Jun 23, 2010

I didn't play the first Kane & Lynch game, but I'm peripherally aware of it (at least to the extent it was rumored to cause a notorious disagreement that eventually caused Giant Bomb to be a website). I'm considerably more interested in its sequel, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, and checked out the demo at this year's E3. My demo was a single-player (with bots) version of the Fragile Alliance multip...

E3 Quick Impressions: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Jun 23, 2010

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is basically God of War but in a gothic horror setting. I'm tempted to end the blog post right there, because that's pretty much all you need to know to decide whether or not you'll want to play it. It's pretty blatant. You even get health from objects that glow the same shade of green. Though to be honest, the demo was short enough that I don't know what they'll do...

E3 Quick Impressions: NBA Jam

Jun 23, 2010

Would you be interested in playing NBA Jam again but with updated rosters? You're in luck, because EA Sports is releasing that very thing for the Wii. You can shove each other, throw out elbows, do crazy dunks, and if you get three in a row the ball catches on fire. I couldn't hear it that well on the E3 floor, but someone was definitely shouting out crazy stuff when we hit dunks. Also, at one...

E3 Quick Impressions: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Jun 23, 2010

One game I was really looking forward to seeing at this year's E3 is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I loved the last game from Ninja Theory, Heavenly Sword, and found the concept of this new game to be very intriguing, which is loosely based on a several hundred-year-old Chinese novel. Gameplay-wise, it's very similar to the Prince of Persia series, where you control a main character (Monkey) w...

E3 Quick Impressions: Dance Central

Jun 16, 2010

One of my goals for E3 this year, though to be honest it's a goal I've had for years, was to perform a synchronized dance with a small group of people to Bel Biv Devoe's classic song Poison. GOAL FULFILLED. Going into Dance Central, I knew I had to give it my all, as the previous group had been led by an adorable middle-aged Japanese man in a suit who gave it his all, and therefore sincerity in...

E3 Quick Impressions: Twisted Metal

Jun 16, 2010

You know it's a lot of pressure to play Twisted Metal with David Jaffe standing around watching everybody. We played a six-player death match, and it was very much a Twisted Metal game, except with beautiful graphics. I played as the helicopter, which the demonstrator said immediately after I selected it was the hardest vehicle to operate. The left and right analog sticks are used in conjunctio...
