Announcement

One thing was clear from watching Sony’s PlayStation E3 2015 Press Conference: they have games for everyone on the horizon. From action titles like Uncharted 4, to fighting games like Street Fighter V, to the incredible announcement that the most universally acclaimed role-playing game of all time—Final Fantasy VII—are all coming to PlayStation! 

January is a big month for new product announcements. In early January there was CES – the largest trade show for consumer electronics. Many companies keep their new products a secret so they can excite and surprise consumers with their announcements during the conference.  Late January has the NAMM show – the largest trade show in the world for musical instruments. Just like at CES, attendees at NAMM often keep the products they will present under wraps, until the show. What will be the biggest news in musical instruments for 2014. Best Buy will be at the conference to find out for you.

In the wake E3, as gamers we got a big dose of information on our favorite things. I made a list in favor of the Xbox One, now its the PS4’s turn. With no less interesting content, and perhaps more, depending on your taste, Sony and the PlayStation 4 aren’t lacking for good reasons to head in their direction for your console needs. Have a look.

The longest running EA Sports franchise is back for edition #26! Madden Football is the first to officially kick off EA Sports Game season in August, and this year’s edition plans to give you a much more stabilized defensive system, recreated environments (on the next gen consoles) and more!  When you Pre-Order Madden 15, you’ll also get access to some free Ultimate Team content!  Read on to find out more.

Even though I’ve been here before, NAMM is exciting, overwhelming, thrilling and exhausting. The first day was a hit-the-ground-running experience even though my brain and gear-geek self were asking my body and schedule to slow down. My francophone co-hort (Marc-Andre) and I caught up on each others’ past year, took a spin through the exhibit floor, saw a lot of new and familiar faces and, most importantly, took lots of photos, videos and notes on lots of interesting things!      

Get ready for another huge month for video games with tons of highly anticipated titles coming to Best Buy stores and BestBuy.ca. We’ve got games like Tom Clancy’s The Division, Mortal Kombat XL, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD all releasing in March, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Come check out the great games available very soon.

The Capcom Showcase was filled with exciting news on upcoming games such as Dragon's Dogma 2, Pragmata and more! Details inside!

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.
