Throughout the year, gaming conventions offer a great opportunity for publishers to unveil and highlight their upcoming lineup for the months ahead. While these anticipated events are often few and far between, each one presents a unique opportunity to showcase the titles fan should keep an eye on, and choosing which games to focus on can often be an overwhelming task. Fans’ desires will rarely line up with the actual schedule for a game’s development and ultimate release, leading to lengthy periods of radio silence followed by a disproportionate amount of details to share that can coincide with equally intriguing releases at the same time. This balancing act is a constant struggle to maintain, particularly due to the unpredictable nature of game development, leading to the inevitable outcome that certain press conferences will prove to be less memorable than others due to the availability of news and announcements.
The tournament and the final in particular did not disappoint, with arguably two of the best teams in the world squaring off against each other. EDward Gaming took out SK Telecom T1 in a close 3 to 2 series to give the Chinese the victory over the Koreans. SK Telecom certainly didn't make it easy. The team's best player, and one of the top mid laners in the world, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok nearly won the series for SK all by hims
Dean Evans, creative director of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon spoke to Polygon to share some of his other, more crazy game ideas he had before Ubisoft let him construct the lovable retro downloadable spinoff we know as Blood Dragon . Evans says he's working on a “dream project” with a “dream team” - something they've all wanted to do and now finally can. It's based in a “compelling and unique universe” and because of the success of Blood Dragon, Ubisoft is giving him plenty of creative freedom. Read the great interview at Polygon for m
The game is set on the island of Tsushima in the Korea Strait, right in the middle between the westernmost tip of Japan in Kyushu and the Korean peninsula. The backdrop is the first Mongol invasion of 1274, led by Genghis Khan's grandson Kublai Khan and culminated with the Battle of Bun'ei where the term “Kamikaze” was b
In cased you missed it in late January, Naughty Dog confirmed that there will be no more story DLC coming for The Last of Us.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has finally entered the realm of the stars . The big budget MMO which failed to last long with the traditional monthly paid subscription model before going partly free-to-play launched its Galactic Starfighter expansion in December for subscribes and this week it's now available to everyone, even the FTP play
ESL is well-known as one of the biggest eSports leagues in the world, which is why it was big news when it was reported today that Swedish media group MTG purchased Turtle Entertainment, ESL's parent comp
Last Wednesday night, a rather interesting post went up on the Hearthstone subreddit . User MattCauthron made a post claiming that he had just purchased 2,700 card packs for a total of around $3,400. Not surprisingly, he added that he was a bit tipsy at the time of the transact Over the past few years, Sony has been able to maintain a consistent level of expectations for fans to set for themselves, with E3 and PSX being the two standouts to look forward to for the biggest announcements and updates, and smaller news pieces being shuffled in throughout the year. After a couple of noteworthy E3s, Sony’s middling press conference at this year’s event left a lot of fans underwhelmed and anxious for more. In a moment of seeming panic, Sony set forth a chain of events that pushed forward a few of their key PSX announcements, including the reveal of Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima, up to the Paris Games Week press conference, an event that, in the past, had rarely been used for major reveals such as those. Teased as the “second half of E3” , the Paris Games Week presser, while distinctly more filled with new trailers, also ended up being fairly standard and middling, leaving fans to wonder what Sony had left up their sleeves for PSX.

One of the surprise hits of E3 2013 and a game we quickly fell in love with was Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare . Think Dungeon Defenders but with far improved and polished graphics thanks to it being built on the Frostbite 3 game engine. We found out last week that on Xbox One, click here! EA is delivering fans an exclusive mode called 'Battle for brainz.' The strange part is that this is the only splitscreen mode in the game, pitting two plants against waves of incoming zombies. That's right, only one platform will have splitscreen for Garden Warfare . Next-gen? Why wouldn't the game support splitscreen multiplayer for all its modes on all consoles? Especially a super simple wave-based survival mode we've seen in dozens of game
