I won't spoil anything. I will say though that the ending isn't what I was expecting. There were at least a couple of times I thought it would end but didn't. I have to say that this game was really incredible in how it kept a balance of being linear but still give you room to explore. It is also a fine example of direct storytelling without giving you choices. I think this game set a milestone personally for me than Uncharted ever had. I loved the adventure. I love how you didn't know just around a corner if there was going to be a big group of Clickers. It get things suspenseful. There are some interesting and crazy encounters with humans, especially one particular group. The game is many ways like The Walking Dead in how humans are just as ruthless if not more.

Yep, here it is. Obligatory E3 roundup, coming your way. From a JRPGer's perspective, here's the highlights (and lowlights), starting with the Big 3 (essentially- 2 since Nintendo was via Nintendo Direct):

I've been watching a lot of E3 while doing my day job, and it's all been said but here's all of my excitement:

Okay, so Sony's press conference, as we all know by now, was intense. At first, they showed some new games, such as:

The legacy of the PlayStation brand is an interesting one. Back in 1995, Sony was the scrappy underdog, and fought tooth and claw to ascend to the top of the video game heap, crippling Sega and putting Nintendo on shaky ground for the first time ever. The PlayStation 2 cemented their dominance over the market, with tons of instant classics released for the console. But by 2005, Sony had gotten soft, comfortable at the top. Their hubris was easy to see, and even the biggest PlayStation fans have to agree that they made some bone-headed moves at the beginning of the PS3’s life cycle. If one thing was made abundantly clear at Sony’s E3 press conference, it’s that they’ve come to reclaim their fans, as well as win over a whole new host of them.

Without getting too much into the whole console war thing which seems to be the main topic of discussion on the net, I thought we could use this place to discuss "games". The first day of E3 saw  press conferences from two major console leaders and top third party companies, so lets discuss our favorite games.

I was reading an article on Game Rant about 3 titles that have been kind of in limbo for a while that might make an apperance at E3. How they came to this info is quite interesting because I went to the site they talked about and it shows whos attending E3 and some show their products when you click on the link for them. Im gonna post a few with their products under their name. The 3 games by the way are Warriors Lair, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and The Last Guardian.

First of all, sorry I didn't comment back to you all who posted on my last blog. I appreciate the comments. Now to simply to get onto Xbox One. I am happy to finally see it and know what to expect. I am not as impressed as I expected but was excited throughout the reveal. I am though stunned about having to have the system a 24 hour period, the need of Kinect to always be connected, and a fee for used games. It seems like there was a lot of bad which was really and obviously left out of the unveil.

I don't have a lot of desire to blog anymore. I might do a few more but they might not be here. I might try over at gamespot. I always go there, at IGN, and Kotaku. They are the best sources for gaming news. Gamespot has always twisted words in articles but Kotaku has been great at saying everything at face value. I just love how their comment section works and been commenting there for years as well as the other two.

I hope everyone is doing good. I just finished up watching Battlestar Galactica. I really enjoyed it. I watched my first episode last week and finished it all yesterday. It was a long miniseries. After that I downloaded Gacumalee. I got ten dollars for spending 50 dollars on PSN. I didn't even realize I did. It was a nice surprise. Besides that game, I been contemplating what to play next. I have a lot of games and getting Pandora's Tower tomorrow.

Random Disclaimer:
E3 is only a few months away and this blog entry may contain rumors. Some rumors may hit the fan, others will not.

Welcome to the next part of PixlBit’s sneak preview for the hottest and most surprising games coming in 2013! Last time, we told you about some of the big guns for the upcoming year, but what about those unknown quantities? There are quite a few brand-new, never before seen games on the horizon, and that’s always exciting. So without further ado, we present the new kids on the block.

This year was a bit thinner than what we were expecting, especially with Nintendo supposedly pulling back the curtain on the Wii U.  But while we were left a bit underwhelmed and with more questions than answers there were still plenty of games on display to get us excited for something.

Going by the old proverb ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, Quantic Dream’s newest title Beyond: Two Souls must be worth a million. After showcasing their impressive “Kara tech demo” back at GDC, it was obvious that Quantic’s next title would be a visual splendor and this game does not disappoint. Using the same sophisticated capture technology as James Cameron’s Avatar, Beyond: Two Souls is able to depict the uncanny life like mannerisms of its actors, which is welcomed considering  award winning actress Ellen Page will be playing the lead.

Sony's press conference this year started off with a bang with a video that served as an overview of what would be shown. The video featured a stable of first party titles as well as some functionality announcements. Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3 also made their presence known.

Beyond: Two Souls was shown off for the first time at the Sony E3 press conference today in trailer form. While it doesn’t show much, what it does show has some parallels to the impressive "Kara" tech demo from GDC. For starters, Beyond stars American actress Ellen Paige, of Juno and Hard Candy fame. You may remember that the titular Kara was played by Valorie Curry, known for her role in Twilight: Breaking Dawn. 

Well...today was something else. Full of highs and lows, today was definitely a roller coaster as far as the press conferences went. Some met expectations, some failed and others surprised. This is just my quick impressions and opinions of the main conferences today.
