Well, I feel like introductions are required, don’t you? I’m Blake, your old man in front of a fireplace and this is a column about games for the poor gamer. Or the cheap gamer, I suppose.

I wonder which of these categories shall we see first?” Let me kill the suspension. Gem! Nope, just kidding. Shit. By the...

We got exclusive tours of Sega and Natsume’s Booths! We talk about the big titles from each developer and what we thought really stood out.
Sega had an extensive line up of games, as well as some stands for older titles. “Vanquish” was a particularly interesting feature and probably their largest. We got hands on with it, feeling the fast-paced action for ourselves. Here are a few screens for those who’re curious!

Lost In Reviews got a hands on demo with Bethesda’s new title “Brink” as well as trying out Seven 45′s new music game “Powergig: Rise of the Six String”.
Brink is a fast paced first-person shooter, which uses a class based system of abilities. Although, it’s not quite as restrictive a class system like “Team Fortress 2″, it’s much looser and easier to switch around. It’s something that we’ve been looking forward to since we arrived at E3 and the demo we...

So we were lucky enough to get an appointment with 2K (Take-Two Interactive) at E3 this year. They took us behind closed doors to show us some of their big upcoming titles: XCOM, Mafia II, Civilization V, and Spec Ops: The Line. We weren’t allowed to take any pictures or video, so we tried to write down everything we saw and what we thought about them, and have it all here for you in a video recap. We do have a ton of great pictures given to us from 2K themselves, so they’re below the recap for you.

Ah, the distant crackle of M16 three round bursts…the rumble and squeak of rolling tanks…the lightning crack of sniper fire…a nearby death cry…the thundering booms of anti-aircraft guns. Is there any sweeter music to the ears of first-person shooter fanatics? I think not. While Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (BC2) doesn’t quite deliver this complex cantata to it’s audience with the finesse...
