Destructoid Event…or Frat Party?
We capped the evening off (thanks to Nintendo’s early ass conference the next day) by attending an open bar (and open kitchen) event hosted by the team at Destructoid. It was at a place called Cafe Brass Monkey (does every E3 party venue have to have a bizarre name?) Upon walking up to the event I noticed a barrage of drunkards hanging out in front of the door slurring their words and yellin...[Read More]
Sony Playstation Blog Event… Tamales Anyone?
Wassup people…it’s ya boy SpaceBarZ. I’m out here in L.A. with Brooklyn covering the E3 Convention. I’m going to be doing a blog that recaps the day’s festivities to keep you all up to speed on what Game Informer refers to as “the seedy underworld of the gaming industry.” I’ll keep things as real as possible and let you all know what’s really going on. I landed at LAX...[Read More]
Kotaku’s Golden Gopher E3 Event
After we left the Sony epic fail we headed to a Kotaku open bar mixer at an off the beaten path L.A. bar called the Golden Gopher. While we waited in line I observed this weird industry hierarchy here that I’m really not feeling. It seems like the upper epsilon of the gaming community doesn’t wait in lines! They just roll up to parties with their leather jackets on and transition lenses and ...[Read More]
Stop Being Greedy: Swag Giveaways
There are few words that seem to annoy me more than “swag” has lately. So over used and was maybe kind of clever to say for a few months three years ago. Now its my swag this, swagga like us and its all so tired. In any case our swag can be your swag. And by swag we mean Stuff We All Get (SWAG). We will be randomly giving away what we get here at E3 so stay tuned right here. This Uncha...[Read More]
King of Fighters Tournament Wrap-Up
The event was a good time. The amount of people that showed up was just about perfect and you didn’t really have to wait long to play. There were lots of beat downs being handed out and plenty Playstation 3 consoles on deck. Actually there were no Xbox 360 versions of the game at the event. I am pretty sure that the game build up for play was not the final build as there was a particular sta...[Read More]
Discovering First Person: Burnout Paradise
This video is no longer available. So I had a “OH SHIT” moment yesterday as I realized that I had been missing out. I have been playing Burnout Paradise in third person mode. Yes, 20+ hours just to find out had been denying myself of some great fun. Then again maybe its like I am getting extra hours now. HA! Do you play your racing games in first person or third person view?

Infamous Demo Quick Look Video
This video is no longer available. I must say right off the bat that this game was blast to play. Infamous is very fun and I found myself even wanting to play after recording. I will be buying this game. I really did not expect much and was blown away by the tight controls, art style and presentation. This video is of the first 15 minutes and keep in mind that the demo can be played for over an ho...[Read More]
