Only a few times in any generation of consoles do we get a title like Yoku's Island Express, a game full of charm, but coupled with fantastic unique gameplay that makes you realize you are playing something truly special. One part Metroidvania and one part pinball, Yoku's Island Express balances both ideas perfectly. Team 17 has created and published something truly special, and they deserve a ton of praise for it!

E3 2018 is over. That's it folks. It went by so fast! And I have a lot of mixed feeling about this E3. I'll get into that, plus who I thought won E3 and what my favorite games were. Lets get to it. Final E3 column of the year!

Warner Bros did not disappoint at E3 2018! I didn’t realize it until my booth tour was over with WB, but villainy was definitely the theme. I only played two titles, but I was a Hitman in one and a DC villain aiding the Joker in a prison escape in the others. I am now realizing how infrequently play villains, and I have say, I loved it. Another delightful surprise, both of these games will release before the end of the year, so players will get a chance to try on the feeling of being wicked in not too long.

Cyberpunk 20177 is here folks, and the hype begins! While you might best no the team from CD PROJEKT RED because of their work on the Witcher series - including the Witcher 3 which might be one of the best games of this generation! - the team has closed the door for the time being on a large open world Witcher title, and have instead set their sights on a new adventure. While still an action RPG open world experience, Cyberpunk 2077 will be much different in terms of environment, characters, and story, but perhaps could take some of the same mechanics that ...

Farming Simulator 19 is being shown off at this years E3, and the good people at Giants Software have just released another trailer detailing the biggest new addition to the franchise: John Deere. John Deere might be the biggest name in farming tractors, and until today, have rarely had their licence in any popular farming simulation games. Now that is all changing, and Giants has landed the big whale when it comes to it's competition with other farming simulation companies. Here's hoping more surprises like this will come to the game!

When Justin Farren walked out on stage to show off some of the gameplay you can expect in Skull and Bone, people were understandably blown away. Although cautious optimism swept the theatre and those watching online, the feeling that this could be something special is still quite high!

The dark and dreary setting of World War 1 London wasn't something I thought i would ever enjoy, but when you factor in vampires and an intriguing story, perceptions begin to change. From beginning to end, Vampyr was a story I constantly was engaged with, and although the lackluster and clunky combat almost held me back a few times, the running story and character progression kept me focused on the end game.

While most companies are ditching the toys to life genre of games, Ubisoft Toronto is planning on embracing it with their newest title, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which will be available this October on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. The team at Ubisoft went all out during the event today, even bringing up a Nintendo legend to detail some unique features coming to the Switch version of the game: the ability to play the entire game as Fox!

While we knew it was coming, most people thought Ubisoft would end their show by showing off Beyond Good and Evil 2. Instead, we got an early look at this prequel to the outstanding original title, Beyond Good and Evil. While most details are still hidden in mystery, one major detail was announced today that looks fantastic: using community art, music, and stories within the game itself, thanks to Hit Record, a company owned by Joseph Gordon Levitt.

EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda have all had media conferences now. Today, at noon, was Square Enix’s turn. I watched the event and…well…it could have been better. A lot better. Square Enix did not hold a press conference today. Instead, they had a video. It was basically like a Nintendo Direct. A poor man’s Nintendo Direct… Game after game was shown by Square Enix with very little extra talking. Unfortunately, there were very little surprises too. We knew about most of…
