Pillars of Eternity is looking to live up to the vaunted legacy created by classic Infinity Engine games. If the opening stages are any indication, it's well on its way.
We get a first-look at Hunt: Horrors of a Gilded Age; a third-person action RPG set in the late 1800s, where players band together to seek out and kill supernatural creatures.
Yoshi's Woolly World and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse are showing off how Nintendo's great art direction can get even better with a little texture.
Battlefield: Hardline pits Police against Criminals in an all-out war on the city streets. We put our skills to the test in the beta and see how well the game upholds the Battlefield name.
E3 2014 has come and gone, and we're still processing all that we saw and did at the big show. One way to get it all out in the open is a nice long chat, and you can listen in. Hear four of us talk about some of our favorite games, our disappointments, and our take on who "won" E3.
We talked to some people on the E3 show floor about Oculus Rift, and here's what they had to say.
The Alienware Alpha was recently announced, and it's a genuine Windows PC designed to work as though it were a console gaming system.
There were some great games at E3... but some conspicuously were missing...
E3 has come and gone, and with it came some fantastic showpieces for the coming year and beyond. Like everyone who attends the annual spectacle, the Shack staff had its own standouts and favorites. Each of us picked a handful of games that knocked our socks off, and you can see the aftermath of our de-socking below. Check them out, and let us know which games caught your fancy in Chatty.
Little Orbit showed off two games at E3 that borrow mechanics very directly from existing games, but in wildly different ways. We take a look at Adventure Time: Secret of the Nameless Kingdom and Falling Skies.
