in Video Games
E3 is sometimes a time of discovery, playing games you’re only familiar with via names, and maybe a picture or two. Pid was one of those games for me. All I knew about it was that it’s a 2D platformer, and that the main character is able to create force beams (or portals that shoot out gravity More >

Sonic 4 Episode 1 had plenty of buzz, since it was a new Sonic game that followed the original Genesis style, but in 3D. Sega teased the game for a long time under the code name “Project Needlemouse,” and we learned that Sonic would be the only character in the game, or so we thought.

If you’re tired of the Xbox Live scene only rewarding twitch gaming skills, and words are your forte, “Quarrel” may be what you’ve been looking for.

A look at UTV Ignition Titles

When the name Ignition came up, I wanted to be the person to preview one game that has caught my attention for some time, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.
