Announcement

A bevvy of beauties that missed the Big Stage, there have been so many things to be excited about that some just don’t get the attention they deserve.  It’s time to fix that.  Many standout titles, intreguing games, and subtle hints of things to come have been shown since this whole thing kicked off, and it’s very easy for worth games to get lost in the shuffle.  So, here we have a collection of E3 2014s Best of Games not in the press conferences (or that we simply havent been able to talk about yet).

It might just be one of the best things the Social Media and Youtube age have brought to us. Thanks to live streaming tools like Twitch, gamers can sit and watch other gamers play for hours on end to help them decide upon whether or not to buy the games themselves. Developers and Publishers have listened, and they now put out these longer videos too, either by themselves or through the help of other gaming websites.    What are some of these good reveals thus far at E3?  Read on to find out.

There can be no denying that Ubisoft is one of the big boys now. From the Triple A to more unique and indie spirited, there seems to be no stopping them.  Whether you like to drop from roofs with hidden blades up your sleeves, drive cars really fast over an immense game world, tactical shootering, or perhaps something a little less flashy with a little more depth, Ubi brought it this year.  Compiling an impressive list to bring on stage, here’s the highlights of Ubi’s press event.

During their huge digital event away from some of the glitz and glamour of E3, Nintendo came out swinging against its competitors, confirming some major new editions of titles like Mario Party, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox and even Mario vs. Donkey Kong!  They also shed some more light on previously announced titles like the new Smash Bros, and Hyrule Warriors!  Read on to find out more.

The other one, the other big ole name in gaming. They had something to prove, quite literally. People were waiting to see what they had to say for themselves, a misstep would have been disastrous; It seems they figured that out. I don’t doubt the wave of social media bile and hate following their last E3 showing had something to do with it. Angry nerds in numbers are pretty good at making themselves heard. At any rate, they had a killer show with a lot of great things to tell you about.

EA Sports UFC releases for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 next week, marking their first major sports title this year.  This should be a huge year for next gen sports gamers.  NHL will make its next gen debut, NBA has been completely re-envisioned, and the PGA Tour is back, along with presentation enhancements for FIFA and a new playcalling experience with Madden.  Want to find out more about what EA is doing this year?  Read on to find out.

  The two big consoles have been circling each other since last year, a year that found PS4 as the clear victor in the fight. This year, and at opposite ends of a very long day of a whole lot of great gaming news, Sony and Microsoft once again made their cases and drew their swords, but what was the result?  We’ll start at the end. Presenting last, the Sony Presser capped of what might have been one of the most interesting days of gaming information I’ve been a part of. How’d they do? Read on friend!  Read on.

Oklahoma City Thunder (RIP Seattle Supersonics) superstar Kevin Durant factors heavily into NBA 2K15, and you can get some KD inspired wares, along with a nice headstart for your created superstar if you pre-order the game online now.  Want to know what they are?  Read on to find out.

You ready? I certainly am. E3 time is fast approaching and its shaping up to be a good year. Fresh on the heels of the latest hardware generation there are a lot of folks clambering to make their case this year. Sony seems to have pulled ahead of Microsoft who have to make a big splash if they hope to make up the ground, and let’s not forget about Nintendo. While these two ‘Titans’ have clashed in the past, Nintendo have quietly switched things up before and changed gaming as they did. Regardless, there’s a lot of reasons to expect interesting things. Without further adieu, here is a list of some of the big players this year, and some of the cool stuff on display.
