According to Time Magazine, a much loved franchise is coming back to the Wii U. In a conversation with Nintendo prior to the beginning of E3, Time Magazine was able to get valuable information on Nintendo's latest project: Star Fox for Wii U.

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 ...

Ubisoft is traditionally the least interesting of the four day one conferences, although this year they seem to have turned things around, focusing less on extended musical interludes and more on actual game footage. It could have used about 120% more James Cameron, but other than that, what did our editors think of Ubi's showing?

Ubisoft launched Assassins Creed to much fanfare and hype, and it was generally received very well. It was different, innovative, and had an intriguing storyline. As the franchise progressed, the games began to roll out steadily; of all that stayed the same, only one good thing could be found throughout: the story.

At the end of EA’s conference, we were given a detailed look at the previously leaked Battlefield Hardline. It looked a lot like the Battlefield we're familiar with but with a simple twist: cops and robbers. While this small change might just seem like a big company trying to differentiate itself from the competition, we think it's more than just a gimmick.

With one press conference down, and a few more to go, it appears as if downloadable content is going to once again be a big thing at E3 2014. DLC comes with its own praises and criticisms, but in general, it is a idea that has worked out for both developers and gamers. Developers can extend the life of their titles while also gaining more revenue, while players get more content for the games they love. There are a few issues that have always, and will always, surround DLC.

The third party pressers are never as interesting as the first party conferences, but this year we knew EA had a lot to show us. Did they manage to live up to the potential of Mass Effect 4, Star Wars: Battlefront and a brand new Mirror's Edge? Our staff pass their verdict.

Last year, Microsoft didn’t show me a reason to buy an Xbox One. They have been outsold by the Playstation 4 since Microsoft released the Xbox One.

Microsoft’s conference at E3 just finished up and wow I can say that they really stepped up their game! One of the most exciting announcements was The Master Chief Collection which includes Halo 1 - 4, and they brought out everything and then some.

Microsoft seem to have listened to fans this year. For that reason and that reason alone, they've managed to start off E3 with a bang. Is it enough to impress our staff, who were rightly skeptical ahead of launch?
