E3 2011 - My Top 5 Picks for Game of Show

We all know about the Call Of Dutys, Uncharted's and Gears Of Wars being the stars of E3 this year, But here is my top 5 pick of games which might of just flown under the radar, But could just steal the show.


5 - Rage


Bethesda sure know how to make a game. So when Rage was announced a few years back, many people were curious as to what Rage actually was. It turned out to be an action first person shooter with driving mechanics. The game is set after an asteroid hit the earth in 2038 which prompts you and other survivors to re-populate. No idea yet if there will be any baby making in the game or just shooting people in the face. Either way this game looks very interesting indeed.

4 - Journey


"An exotic adventure with a more serious tone, Journey presents TGC’s unique vision of an online adventure experience. Awakening in an unknown world, the player walks, glides, and flies through a vast and awe-inspiring landscape, while discovering the history of an ancient, mysterious civilization along the way.

Journey’s innovative approach to online play encourages players to explore this environment with strangers who cross their path from time to time. By traveling together, they can re-shape the experience – creating authentic moments they will remember and discuss with other"


Its not often that a game tries something very different form the norm. So when thatgamecompany announced Journey, It felt like a breath of fresh air, Although that gust of air could be sweeping some sand towards your face, as the developers have created a stunning looking desert in which you will roam and investigate. I personally cannot wait to see more of this.

3 - Dead Island


We all like killing Zombies.... Right? Left For Dead, Dead Rising, Blood Drive..... Okay maybe not Blood Drive, But if Techlands Dead Island is anything as good as there now infamous trailer was, Then we could have something real special on our hands. A beautiful open world holiday resort is the scene in which you will decapitate various types of flesh eating zombies, With a range of interesting fire-power and melee weapons.

Dead Zombie girl... Can't go wrong with that.

2 - Battlefield 3


Of course Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is out this year. So should EA delay Battlefield until the COD series has gone away? No, They are not only trying to beat Call Of Duty, but they are looking to destroy it! After releasing several teaser trailers showing off there brand new Frostbite 2 engine which was simply developed for this game (Even using the animation system for Fifa) It is shaping up to be a destructive force in the Modern combat genre. Call Of Duty have a mammoth fanbase, some fans prefer Battlefield. If Battlefield 3 is anything like EA is saying it is, then a huge majority of people may well jump ship. EA will be showing off B3 multiplayer at there Press Conference so stay tuned!



1 - BioShock Infinate


My number 1 choice for game of show at E3. Irrational Games haven't released to much information about Bioshock Infinate,but its enough to show that this is shaping up to be an incredible experience. Fans of Bioshock will be truly excited that the series has taken a break form the depths of Rapture after the rather lacklustre Bioshock 2 pretty much exhausted what was so great from the first offering. Set on a collapsing air-city called Columbia in 1912, That change couldn't be further from the claustrophobic feel of the deep. The more information released on Bioshock Infinate, the more it shows that this is not just another Bioshock game. This game has a few tricks up its sleeve which will be revealed in its E3 presentation in a few days. Its my number 1 pick for a reason so make sure you do not miss it.

Daily Gaming News 03/06/2011 Pt 1




HD Collections

Nostalgia.. Its a wonderful thing. So when Sony released there much loved God Of War Collection last year with a sexy new HD look, Fans around the world rejoiced. Kratos showed that its not just for nostalgia value that we should delve into the back of our dusty cupboards and re play some of these classics, but that they can sometimes stand the test of time and still be relevant today. Seeing as it sold like hot cakes, It was only going to be some time before more beloved child hood memories were re-lived. The next shiny gems to get the HD Makeover is the Metal Gear Solid franchise followed by survival horror favourite Silent Hill. There is no news yet to how many games in the franchise will be released but for Konami fans, this is a wonderful thing to sink your teeth back into. With the Beautiful Japanese classic ICO and Shadow of the Colossus also in the works, Its hard to imagine why this stroke of genius wasn't thought of sooner.




Rage Trailer

Bethesda definitely hit some high notes with the Fallout franchise. One of them things sadly, was not the gameplay. At times it felt like the engine was unfinished and had aged over night. ID it seems does not share them problems when it comes to those clunky gameplay mechanics. Judging by the trailer, Bethesda looks to have a real winner on there hands in the form of Rage. In "The Well" ID and Bethesda take you into the town of Wellspring as its being terrorized by a bandit clan threatening to poison the towns water supply. The trailer shows us what type of gameplay we can expect and I for one am very expected about this September release.





Fifa 12 E3 Trailer

E3 is upon us and EA are treating us a little bit early with this brand new Fifa 12 trailer, showing of there new features. The Player Impact Engine was discussed in yesterdays blog so for more news on Fifa 12, Check it out.





Xbox History

Microsoft has announced that they have officially sold over 55 million consoles worldwide (Thanks to the red ring of death) So well done to them. This is seriously a fantastic achievement and it just goes to show that even though Sony are going through a hard time right now, Microsoft don't mind sticking up two rather large cash shaped fingers at them.




Tomb Raider Reboot

Alright. Okay. I’m not sure there’s any conceivable way that Crystal Dynamics’ forthcoming reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise could be half as arresting and gorgeous as this trailer. Tell you what, though. I’m looking forward to seeing them try. What I’m thinking, considering the first screenshots of the Tomb Raider reboot appeared back in January, the quality of this trailer, and that the game’s still slated for a release as far in the future as Q3 2012, is that Square Enix have given Crystal Dynamics a similarly sized budget. If that’s the case, this could end up something very special indeed.
