One of the main games that I was dying to get my hands on when I got to E3 was Borderlands 2. After playing the first game, I really fell in love with its FPS-RPG genre blend as well as the 3D cel-shaded graphics. Not to mention over 2 million different guns as well. In Borderlands 2, there’s even More >

E3 has come and gone, and many are still talking about it. The one question that continues to come up is where was Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V?

So, I got to meet a few of the guys behind the Joe Danger series, Hello Games.

Walking around E3, it can be easy to bypass a simple-looking game like Bullet Run; it builds upon the core gameplay of Call of Duty, while bringing a lot of its own style to the death match.

To be honest with you, Ubisoft isn’t known for delivering quality products on Nintendo products at launch. Red Steel, perhaps because it didn’t have the help of the gyroscope, turned out some of the worst review scores of the Wii launch bunch. However, while I can’t comment on the final quality of More >
