Posted by PSU on Jun 19, 2013 | Leave a Comment
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was the very last game I saw at E3 last week.
In a week full of surprises, where each day put a new game at the top of my list for "Best of Show," a 60-minute developer demo was all it took to sell me on The Witcher 3’s lovingly handcrafted fantasy world and the rich gameplay unleashed within. The Witcher 3 is absolutely, unequivocally my game of show and the next-gen RPG to beat.
At first glance, it’s easy to draw parallels with Skyrim–open world,...

Square Enix shocked everyone at Sony’s E3 press conference by announcing two future juggernauts: Final Fantasy XV (formally FF Versus XIII) and Kingdom Hearts III. While both games are a long way off, it’s worth remembering that Square is repackaging the original Kingdom Hearts, plus Re: Chain of Memories and cinematics from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days in high-definition in the U.S. and Europe this fall.

The thrill of first-person parkour can be a game changer to zombie-killing action games, but developer Techland needs to work out its technical kinks.
Dying Light is quite a surprise; it blends the first-person free-running mechanics of EA’s Mirror’s Edge with a zombie apocalypse open-world concept. Combining the two may seem unorthodox, but the game’s day and night cycle gives it a good reason to do so.
While your player character is out in the day, he performs a supply...
