E3 10: Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days Impressions
Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days does a lot of things well visually. When you take damage the visuals shift into a mode that looks like your looking at the game through a security cam recording or handicam. Its a very interesting and unique style choice. The characters also have a very nice art style though the combat is where the game fell apart for me. The guns I used had too much recoil. I dont min...[Read More]

E3 10: Nintendo 3DS Impressions
I was worried that after standing in line for about an hour to see the Nintendo 3DS I would be a bit jaded and shit on it but that was so not the case. I guess this in of itself is a testament to how impressed I was with the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo 3DS now has an analog nub. Similar in design to the analog nub on the PSP but executed much better. The Nintendo 3DS analog nub is much larger and f...[Read More]
E3 10: Epic Mickey Impressions
What I learned from E3 this year in regards to Epic Mickey is that the screen shots released a few weeks back do not do the game justice. Epic Mickey is just one of those games that looks much better in motion. Not only that but there are many interesting things about Epic Mickey. It’s not a simple platformer. Epic Mickey gives players multiple ways to run through the game. The game has RPG ...[Read More]
E3 10: Killzone 3 Impressions
The playable Killzone 3 content at E3 this year included three main sections. The first is what begins as an on-rails ride on one of the ISA hovercrafts. You man a gun turret as you glide around Helhast bases destroying everything in your path. The explosion effects are great as expected and blowing up things is always fun. After a bit of fun with the turret you land and your on foot in some shoot...[Read More]
WTF: E3 2010 Edition
E3 would not be complete without a few WTF sightings. The picture above is of a group that marched around the South Hall and unless you stopped to ask you would have no idea what they were marching for. Not only that but they marched in circles and looked unhappy doing it. Here are a few more.
E3 10: Spec Ops Impressions
I got a chance to see a demo run of Spec Ops. It’s a game by 2k games that is a third person shooter. The over the shoulder perspective is reminiscent of Gears of War and Resident Evil 5. The game takes place in Dubai after a huge sandstorm has wiped out most of the city. Most of the action takes place in and out of huge opulent buildings. The game initially at least revolves around a missio...[Read More]

Please Note: The twitter account name is different so you may need to update your twitter apps. changed from @iGameManx to @brooklyniteOne I updated it late latest night. The links and feeds on this website have all been updated
E3 10: Marvel vs Capcom 3 Impressions
Marvel vs Capcom 3 looks much better in person than it does in the screenshots Capcom released a few weeks ago. It plays like Tatsunoko vs Capcom and looks as if it has a watercolor filter on the character models. You can choose a squad of three characters and there are fighting systems to choose from for each character just like in Marvel vs Capcom 2. The game is fun and over the top for sure.
Socom 4 @ E3 2010
Socom 4 is on display and playable but the Killzone 3 line around the corner from it is much longer. Granted Killzone 2 is in 3D as well and lets not forget Medal of Honor another first person shooter that looks excellent.
Dead Rising 2 @ E3 With Caged Zombie
Yes, Capcom has a poor soul in a cage at the Dead Rising 2 demo area. Funny.
E3 2010: Motorstorm Apocalypse 3D Impressions
The 3D version of Motorstorm Apocalypse was on display and of course I stopped dead in my tracks to check it out. I spent some time first viewing others play the game in 3D with the Stereoscopic glasses on. After that I played a few times. The 3D really does add to the experience of the game. I kind of hate to admit it because the thought of buying an expensive 3D flat screen television makes me q...[Read More]
