I can’t believe I played the whole thing.

Continuing in the same vein as X-Men Destiny, Activision and Beenox have taken a detour off the path to potential greatness with their newest Spidey venture, Spider-Man: Edge of Time.

So, on our first day of E3, I got my hands on an up and coming Capcom title, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Being a fan of the Resident Evil series for many years, I can say that I was very excited to sit down with this game and kill some good ol’ fashioned zombies. While the idea of slaughtering flesh-hungry, super-virus infected people is not a new one by any means, this title looks like it will bring the RE series up to speed with nearly every modern day shooter by including basic gameplay elements that have been absent for the life of the franchise.

I got some hands-on time with Techland’s Dead Island at E3 this year and came away with a much better understanding of what up until that point had been a mystery to me. Exactly what kind of game is Dead Island, and what differentiates it from every other zombie game in a market saturated with decaying flesh?

Have you ever wanted to play an X-Men game where you don’t get to play as any of your favorite characters? Would you also like to be teased by having the original X-Men that you cannot play as, appear though out the game only to advance the story? If you answered yes to both of these questions then Silicon Knights (of “Too Human” infamy) has the game for you this fall with X-Men Destiny.
We got a chance to sit down with 505 Games and check out their latest projects — Michael Phelps: Push the Limit (Kinect), Grease (Kinect), Top Gun: Hard Lock, Supremacy MMA, Backbreaker Vengeance, and Blackwater (Kinect). Impressions after the break.
The release of Portal 2, much like the game itself, was a veritable overload of hype, frustration, and amazement. Those of you familiar with the original Portal remember the spectacularly positive critical response after its release, but no one could have expected the exceptional level of awesome that is found in Portal 2. As Doug Lombardi, director of marketing at Valve so eloquently put it, “Portal was a test bed. Portal 2 is a game.”

Mortal Kombat has returned in a big way. This ninth core title is a surprisingly robust package that completely lives up to the franchise’s once-great legacy. The game completely reinvigorates the series, harkening back to the easy-to-pick-up style of the arcade originals, while still packing in a wide array of modern fighting conventions to keep things fresh.
