Friday update 13/6/14

E3 has been and gone, and one of the only new things that I was interested in was the Master Chief Collection. The other things being Halo 5 (which there were not many details of, because it is so far away from release), and the Dark Souls 2 DLC (which I am intentionally not looking into because I've not even…

Halo Xbox One

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I'm curious as to why they didn't straight up announce Halo 5 on Xbox One at E3 the other day. The announcement was for a Halo on Xbox One, there was no sign of a 5 anywhere. Even on the Waypoint forums, it's just Halo Xbox One. Maybe it won't simply be "the next game in the series: Halo 5",…

Child of Eden

I'd been looking forward to the spiritual successor to Rez for a long time, from when it didn't exist and was a mere pipe-dream, to when creator Tetsuya Miziguchi said that a sequel was not an impossibility, to E3 last year and our first glimpse of it, and of course, the weeks leading up to it's release.

Well, that was a bit of a let down. The only things that stood out for me were one brand new (and kinda unexpected) Halo game, and one kinda expected (and brand new) Halo game. I'll start with the kinda expected one, Halo Anniversary. It looks utterly beautiful in stills, but I'm sad that they've not updated the animations at…

E3 is here again

It seems like only yesterday I was lapping up the Halo Reach details, salivating at the thought of Crackdown 2 (which I've still not gotten around to, I do apologise), and falling deeply and madly in love with Child of Eden (which still isn't out - so it's not my fault I've not played it!). And here we are again.…

E3 vs Lost – FIGHT!

Yesterday I posted links to two different subjects on GRcade, just to get a little traffic boost. One link was about E3, the other about Lost. I was very surprised when I came on and saw that even though E3 is current and Lost finished ages ago, Lost came out on top with 29 hits. E3 only got 7. I…

I guess most of the announcements and big reveals have been made by now, so it's safe for me to write up my thoughts on the event. I usually don't bother with E3, but I had a bit of time on my hands this year, mostly because Jane was in Newcastle, so I sat at the PC looking at new…
