    E3 | Hands On – Muramasa: The Demon Blade

    While Modus was enjoying some of the new Samurai Showdown action at the Ignition booth, I took a step back to check out what else was on hand.  Right next to the new Samurai Showdown fighter was a terminal that had just opened up, with...

    E3 | First Impressions On Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash Up

    While digging through my swag and notes left over from E3, it donned on me that a couple of titles had slipped through the cracks and failed to get posted, momentarily lost amongst the awesome intensity of the show.  So, having found them, this will...

    Is It More Than Just Eye Candy?

    (Before we get started here, I think I deserve some credit for not going with the obvious ‘more than meets the eye’ pun on the title). While we were at E3, we took notice of a special area between the two main halls that had...

    E3 | Hands On – Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

    While moving through the massive setup Square Enix had put in place for E3, with my arms full of sweet sweet swag, I caught something out of the corner of my eye.  At the time, I had just finished watching the dynamite video SE had...

    Sexy Exciting Free Giveaway! Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta!

    While Team JRE was hitting E3, we got our thuggish little mitts on all the swag we could carry. And let me tell you folks, it was quite a haul.  We came back with tons of T-shirts, pens, posters, and booth babes (seriously, they just...

    E3 | Hands On – Dead To Rights: Retribution

    Upon arriving at this year’s E3, I had no idea that a new Dead To Rights title would be on the floor.  I didn’t even know it had been in development.  So seeing a booth with a 360 controller sitting free and the banner of...

    E3 | First Impressions – Alpha Protocol

    There were plenty of spy games making the rounds at this year’s E3.  And while many eyes turned to the demonstrations for Splinter Cell: Conviction to get their next dose of espionage and stealth, others took a gander at Sega’s upcoming title – Alpha Protocol....

    E3 | First Impressions on Bayonetta

    My E3 notes from the Sega booth, when looking at the extensive trailer showing for the upcoming game Bayonetta, read like this: “Really, really lame femme-fatal otaku nerd crap.  Over-stylized.  Ridiculous, lengthy chats between characters while they’re pointing guns at each other.  F’in butterfly wings...

    E3 | Hands On – Darksiders (Xbox 360)

    The setup THQ had established for their titles – namely Red Faction: Guerilla and Darksiders – was awesome.  Numerous individual stations had been set up, almost like  enclosed arcade cabinets, complete with a chair to relax in after all those hours walking the floor. When...

    E3 | Alien Vs. Predator

    Over at the Sega booth, videos and gameplay from the upcoming Alien Vs Predator game were being shown, and what they were showing looked good. Sega wasn’t allowing any one to play hands on, so instead, they had their own people there working through a...
