The recent tactical strategy game Frozen Synapse has had quite a bit of success amongst fans of tactical strategy, but those same fans now have something else to be excited about. A new Jagged Alliance game! Jagged Alliance: Back In Action is a “Contemporary remake of the latest game in the series” but the website also says that it’s a remake of the original so exactly which Jagged Alliance game its a remake of is a bit unclear at this point.
Prototype 2 was unveiled at last year’s VGA awards but E3 is the first time gamers got their chance to see the game in action. While the Prototype had you playing as Alex Mercer, the sequel sets him up as the game’s villain and you play as Sgt. James Heller, a new character who blames Mercer for the deaths of his wife and child, and is set to take him down.
The pre-requisite Call Of Duty game for this year’s E3 is Modern Warfare 3, but it might as well just be calledCoD: The New One given the predictable release schedule for the series. In fact, Activision should probably adopt the Madden naming system, and just go with Call of Duty 2011. Regardless, CoD: More Of The Same still looks quite good, and with the E3 video below, you can take a peek at thirteen minutes of the single-player campaign.
The Neverwinter Nights games are still some of the best Dungeons & Dragons games around and a trailer showing the gameplay of the new game Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter was released in time for this year’s E3.
It was a big surprise to see the 3DS launch without the obligatory Nintendo lineup of revamped classics. No Mario Kart 3D? No Super Mario Brothers 3D? No Link, Zelda, Pikachu, or Metroid? Inconceivable! But don’t worry, just as you’re getting bored of Super Street Fighter IV, Nintendo has announced the inevitable titles you’ve been waiting for.
Proving that they are determined to find the worst possible names for all of their products, Nintendo announced that their next console will be called the “Wii U”. Get it? “We, You”? I am not making that up. If you can get over the silly name, there are three important things to know about the new pronoun.
Kingdoms of Alamur: Reckoning is one of my most anticipated games of this year’s E3. The CEO of 38 Studios, Kurt Schilling came on stage and and showed off a new gameplay trailer at the EA press conference. For those who haven’t heard of 38 Studios and Reckoning before, It’s a fantasy action RPG where the story has been written by bestselling fantasy author R.A. Salvatore, while the art style has been developed by Todd McFarlane and the game has been designed by the lead designer of Oblivion and Morrowind.
