LittleBigPlanet 3 Announced
The Sack world has always been a nice place to visit, but it’s going to get that much better. At Sony’s E3 conference today, Media Molecule took to the stage to announce LittleBigPlanet 3. Not to rest on their laurels, they’ve added a bunch of new features to keep you coming back. Of course, the visuals are absolutely beautiful. The materials look more lifelike than ever, taking advantage of the PlayStation 4’s better visuals. That’s not nearly the biggest thing…

Rainbow Six: Siege announced, features robust 5-on-5 multiplayer
In the final moments of Ubisofts E3 Conference, The surprise game was not Beyond Good and Evil 2, as everyone suspected, but a new iteration of the Rainbow Six Series. Finally coming out of the Shadows (literally and figuratively), after Rainbow Six: Patriots was announced, Went Dark in the midst of development, and eventually had to be "Remade" (according to Ubisoft), Rainbow Six: Siege closed out the show in a hail of gun blazing and bullet holes.

Valiant Hearts The Great War Gets a New Trailer
Announced back in September of last year, Valiant Hearts: The Great War follows the story of four soldiers whose interactions with a German soldier will help him find love. During each character’s story, a military canine travels with them. I’m not sure what role the dog will play, but his cuteness is already pulling at my heart strings.
Star Wars: Battlefront is in good hands with EA
To this day, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is still one of my favorite games based in that galaxy far, far away. Just the idea of jumping into the Midst of the battle of Hoth or swinging a light-saber at my enemies in the lava-laden depths of Mustafar was the sort of thrilling experience I knew, being the huge fan that I am, that I could seriously keep coming back to over and over again. So when Lucasarts in its original form was swallowed by Disney, taking Battlefront III (as well as a number of other promising Star Wars games), to the graveyard with it, I was obviously a tad crushed. what little I had seen on the game had certainly been promising, and it was desperately about time that the experience was brought into the current generation of consoles.

It could have used about 120% more James Cameron, but other than that, what did our editors think of Ubi's showing?
EA Showcases The Sims 4
Have you ever wanted to create a world where you can have free reign over your characters’ emotions? Control their hearts? Define their personalities? EA proposes that, in the next iteration of The Sims, you can. The Sims 4 allows you to completely craft your Sims through traits and aspirations, which determine how they interact in their world.

NHL 15 Continues to be one of EA’s Most Impressive Franchises
Hockey is a religion in Canada. Unlike in the United States, where football, baseball, and basketball compete for viewers, Canadians universally place hockey above everything else. So it is no surprise that EA Sports NHL franchise continues to be developed in beautiful British Columbia, and the group there continues to innovate.
