SPIDER-MAN [E3 2018]: Sunset SpideyDrive.

Getting Spidey’s aerodynamic exploits right is one of the hardest aspects of video game knowhow and --miraculously-- Insomniac nails it. Swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper in a robust photorealistic New York is breathtaking; it nearly gives you the feeling of air rushing past you with every leap in that Marvelous red and blue suit. Point …

RAGE 2 [E3 2018]: Fun AF.

Man, this was fun. While Bethesda's E3 floorspace had epic lines around the entire booth for Fallout 76 (not even to play, but just for some swag), I came upon a neat little discovery around the corner: a 7-minute behind closed doors look at the publisher's next big hit Rage 2, another 15-minutes hands-on with …

SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE [E3 2018]: Christmas Is Coming.

I guess being an early bird -- or early Pikachu to be precise -- has its benefits. Day Two of E3 started off with a bang, as I was able to jump into arguably the Expo's most praised hands-on game, Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Indeed, it was an ultimate experience, given the choice to play …

METRO EXODUS [E3 2018]: Don’t Die!

Metro Exodus had some big shoes to fill after the can of whoop ass delivered at last year's E3. So I went into E3 2018 with Deep Silver's post-apocalyptic survival shooter high on my list. Thankfully, I walked out of this hands-on-demo even more excited for its release. Metro is an open-space mission world game, …

JUMP FORCE / SOUL CALIBUR VI [E3 2018]: Anime Fight Club.

With the newest anime fighter from Bandai Namco, I got the best of both worlds at E3 2018--having, yesterday, a pair of hands-on matches at the Xbox E3 Showcase, and, today, learning more detail with a roughly 20-minute behind closed doors panel at Bandai Namco. Both got me psyched for the game. Jump Force is …

FORZA HORIZON 4 / ORI AND THE WILL OF THE WISPS [E3 2018]: For All Seasons.

As revealed at the Xbox E3 2018 press conference, Forza Horizon 4 will showcase seasons. Recent Forza installments from Turn 10 and Playground Games -- to which the Horizon publisher was recently acquired by Microsoft -- had pouring rain and sandy winds; now we're getting into extreme weather conditions that affect the drive throughout the …
