ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY [E3 2018]: The ‘Wonder’ of It All.

Another Assassin's Creed already? Say it ain't so. Instead of Egypt, fans of the longtime Ubisoft franchise are getting Greece. With a choice of male and female protagonist ala AC Syndicate, include some instant Wonder Woman comparisons. I joked with the hands-on dev about female protagonist choice Kassandra's slight resemblance to Diana Prince of Themyscira, …

HITMAN 2 / LEGO DC SUPER-VILLAINS [E3 2018]: The Mystery Swirling Around WB@E3.

Hitman returns after a 4-year break which led to a full-on reboot in 2016, and, now, new publisher in Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment. Many fans of the series were surprised by the sequel announcement just a week or so ago via IGN. In case you missed the series return, Hitman (Now) had an episodic format with …

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, …
