E3 2011: The Best New Games – ME 3, Tomb Raider, and Skyrim – find out why!
I have to hand it to all of the journalists out in L.A. who are probably passed out due to their hard work covering the E3 convention. How they can enjoy the convention, sneak back up to the press room, write an article, and still find time to actually play some games is a total mystery. I’m exhausted just watching the convention at home on all of my devices. It really is a whole lot of gaming news to take in.
What do the Nerds think of Nintendo’s WiiU?
So we watched Nintendo’s big reveal. The oddly named WiiU has been unveiled to nerds the world over. Like it or not, Nintendo now has a comparable system to the PS3 and X-Box 360, HD 1080p and all. Check out this nice long list of hardware specs, follow by our personal thoughts on Nintendo’s new system.
Images from the E3 floor before the gates were opened: Gears 3 and Heroes of Ruin
Our spy on the inside managed to send us these shots of the E3 floor before the flood gates were opened. Sadly, shortly after these photos were taken he was dragged off by E3 security and executed in a dark ally. Honor his memory by taking a look at these photos.

Gearbox brings back Brothers In Arms – The internet is pissed!
….While the game looks like a lot of fun, fans of the series are up in arms about the game’s shift in tone and characters. I for one welcome the change. A few years ago journalists tricked developers into thinking that gamers didn’t want to play WW2 games anymore, when in fact they were still selling quite well. Now, we get gritty/realistic “modern” shooters set in fictitious versions of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the new goto war-zone New York City (golf clap).
Mass Effect 3: Picking apart the N7 Collector’s Edition.
Mass Effect 3 had a major showing at day 1 of the E3 convention. We’re going to comb through it all as the day progresses, but we figured we’d start with the Mass Effect 3 N7 edition contents. I’m going to be honest with you, if this edition cost $400.00 and had life sized statue of Yeoman Chambers I’d probably find some way of buying it. From what we know now, the N7 edition looks very promising, although I rarely read an art book more than once. Have a look!

Sony NGP (Vita) – system specs and our naming suggestions!
With portable gaming bigger than ever in Japan, the Vita stands to sell a ton of units no matter what the price point actually ends up being (It’s going to be $299.00… you’ll see). But one question remains, what the hell is a Vita and why did Sony choose that name for this powerhouse portable. For those who haven’t taken Latin, Vita means life… (only in Latin, a very dead language).
E3! We’re just like Oracle stuck in the Batcave!
We’re going to cover the news as we hear it. Unlike a lot of the larger sites that are trying to out-scoop each other we fully realize that we’re in no position to directly compete. We are but a flea sucking on the juicy cheeto fueled blood of the video game industry; and we write about this stuff because we truly love it.
X-Men First Class: A lifelong fan’s review
My history with the X-men is a long one. I would go as far as to say that some of the characters are more like distant family than they are characters at all. No, I’m not crazy, and yes, I know they’re just characters, but I spent a great deal of time with the students of Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters
