3DS in NYC Previews: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition

Probably the easiest game to discuss that was playable is SSFIV 3D. It's very literally exactly the same as the console versions you are likely already familiar with. The same 35 characters (still my Ibuki, of course!) and all the moves you know. The characters all come unlocked from the get-go, and each character has an alternate costume that you've seen, bought, or fought against in the console version.

Bulletstorm Demo Impressions

First person shooters are like action movies: they’re flashy, lacking in substance, and you can’t walk down a hallway without tripping on one these days. Occasionally, you’ll find a Matrix or a 300 in titles like BioShock or Deus Ex, but the majority of them are your typical Van Damme or Stallone flicks. Bulletstorm, at first glance, would appear to be the latter. It’s flashy to the point of comedy, but carries a distinct humor and a unique gimmick that you will not find in most shooters. With the release of the demo this week on the PSN and XBLA, I sat down with the game and tried to determine if the insane people over at People Can Fly have a winner on their hands, or just another short-lived firecracker.

3DS in NYC: Combat of Giants Dinosaurs 3D Preview

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D is an excellent launch window game to get kids interested itching to get a 3DS early. It's a combination of game types. When you start up, you can choose which type of dinosaur from a few different kinds: predators, hunters, chargers or defenders. Each family of dinosaurs has a different combative advantage over another. I was feelin' rather predatorial this time around. You could also customize your dinosaur fully in tons of different colors and stripe colors, etc. It's your very own rather personalized piece of the Jurassic world.

3DS in NYC: Asphalt 3D Preview

The first racing game to hit the streets with the 3DS (very likely to be a launch title) will be Asphalt 3D. Published by Ubisoft, and developed by Gameloft, a name known for their prowess in both mobile and portable gaming, it's already nearing the gates with reputable backing. Gameloft pushes boundaries day in and day out on the iPhone with the gyroscope functionality and stunning graphics, and now they're bringing that promise to the 3DS.

Of all the games present at the 3DS event (and there were many gorgeous games), Kid Icarus has the most colorful, creative, and inviting visuals and art design.

[Details Leaked] Everything We Know About Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim So Far Thumbnail

[Details Leaked] Everything We Know About Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim So Far

The game is set 200 years after Oblivion's end. This new environment is called Skyrim. It's north of the Imperial City, and in that bitterly cold habitat where the Nords live. Gamers will get to tackle the god of the dragons, his kin, and the usual assortment of common pissed off wildlife creatures like the were-yeti. Your character himself (or herself) is a dragon-born dragon hunter living in a world of civil war between people who like the Empire and people who don't. That sort of thing usually comes about when kings die. The game will take place in five massive cities, and more than just two variations of caves like the previous iterations contained.

A few of the trailers were teased before the awards show (Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Resistance 3), but there were still some surprises. Forza Motorsport 4, Portal 2, Elder Scrolls V and SSX: Deadly Descents were just a few of those surprises.

Resistance 3: Everything We Know So Far

This Saturday, exclusively at Spike's Video Game Awards, Insomniac will be premiering a trailer for Resistance 3 that promises to show off some gameplay. It's about time I say. Sure the live action teasers were effective in getting the point across, thus setting the stage for the atmosphere and mood of the upcoming threequel. A gameplay trailer, though, will definitely get people talking and raise the degree of anticipation for this PlayStation exclusive. We're just a few short days away from the Video Game Awards, so let us put time to good use and re-cap everything that is known so far about the Chimera-infested shooter.

Tomb Raider Reboot Described as Emotional Survival Adventure Game

After the past few unremarkable Tomb Raider games and movies, the name Laura Croft probably doesn't inspire thoughts of adventuring like the original classics did. In the most recent issue of GameInformer Crystal Dynamics explains how the reboot will change how we see the franchise.With the new character design, a new open world environment and a more emotional story, Tomb Raider looks to be one of the most impressive reboots of a game to date.
