Welcome the latest in the Smashpad “On Point” Podcast series about the E3 2010 conference. In the E3 episode we cover all of the latest technologies (Kinect, PS3 in 3D, Sony Playstation Move, and Nintendo 3DS), Gran Turismo 5, Twisted Metal, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Kane & Lynch 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Mafia II, Halo Reach, [...]
One liner: The beefed up Wii-like wand feels less compelling than when it was first announced, especially in the wake of the 360 Kinect. Yes, we got to play all of the big technology innovations at this year’s E3 (Xbox 360 Kinect, Nintendo 3DS, and PS3 in 3D), and the most disappointing was (sadly) Sony [...]
One liner: Sonic’s latest attempt at the third dimension has just enough of a dash of the 2D to impress all. We got our hands on Sonic Colors for a few brief moments at E3 2010 last week. With demo kiosks just a few feet away from Sonic Adventure 4 and Sonic Riders for Xbox [...]
One liner: PS3 in 3D is definitely very cool, but it doesn’t exactly make for a great gaming experience. There was a lot going on at E3 2010 last week, but Sony’s 3D push was very apparent. They had an entire section of their booth devoted to 3D, and some big titles like Gran Turismo [...]
One liner: Easily has some of the coolest weaponry at E3 Eff this building. That’s what you want to say as your character tears away at the infrastructure of some 100-feet building in any of the most recent installments of Red Faction. Eff this building and this monster. That’s what you say after using the [...]
One liner: One of the bigger surprises at E3, the sequel to Kane & Lynch: Dead Men has an engrossing level of style and polish. For those of you who don’t know, there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Google it if you like). The aftermath led to mixed [...]
We definitely checked out more Sony content today including Move and 3D (we’re going to get our hands on Killzone 3 tomorrow). We also had the chance, however, to sneak in one Xbox 360 Kinect game and boy was it a blast. Check out these hilarious pictures of myself (Anthony Perez) and senior editor Alex [...]
One liner: Deus Ex is a classic series that’s looking a bit behind the times. Deus Ex is making a comeback this year with Human Revolution, the latest in the famed series that raised the bar for the first-person action adventure genre early last decade. In our time checking out a behind-closed-doors demonstration of the [...]
One liner: Gears of War on crack, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s been a trend in the past couple of E3′s that we’ve seen third-person shooters that feel like Gears of War with different window dressing. On the surface, Sega’s Vanquish seems like it falls in the category. After extended play time, it still [...]
I have no luck traveling. While traveling back to New York from visiting the family in Denver for Christmas, I found myself stranded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, unable to catch my connecting flight. I shouldn’t have been surprised when that same bad luck found me while traveling to E3 this year. Since you might like to [...]
