I believe the record will show that Rhythm Tengoku is one of my very favorite titles. The GBA cart still occupies my DS, and I’ll still break out a few quick rounds when stuck on a bus, or plane, or if someone is boring me. So, when a trek through the E3 show floor led [...]

I think it’s fair to say that the most impressive thing Harmonix and MTV Games did at E3 this year had nothing to do with their game. Still, I was invited to come and take a look at Rock Band 2 at a quick presentation, and I got to spend a little time with the [...]

Out on the show floor at this year’s E3, the Microsoft displays rotated between a few of their new Xbox Live Arcade titles. When Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 was made available to play, the colorful, frantic graphics drew me in, and when the controller got into my hands, I was hooked. I was able [...]

Holy plastic shrapnel, Batman! A visit to Warner Bros. Interactive’s booth at E3 gave GameCyte a guided tour, and some hands-on gameplay, with LEGO Batman. A representative of Traveller’s Tales was on hand to guide us through the latest installment in the developer’s surprisingly fun LEGO game series. We were able to play an entire level of [...]

Among the many games available for play on the show floor at this year’s E3, there were a number of weird and wonderful titles. GameCyte had the chance to pick up and play one of the year’s stranger contenders, namely, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Born from the incredibly unlikely mix of a rich BioWare RPG, the speedy [...]

I have a soft spot for independent games, and this year’s E3 summit placed a few on display at the IndieCade booths on the show floor. I had a look at a few as-yet-unknowns, but my favorite this year was unquestionably a charming little puzzle-platformer called The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. A few of the [...]

Let’s get the big news out of the way first: Stop ‘n’ Swop is back, and this time, it does something. GameCyte went hands-on with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts on the show floor at this year’s E3, and got to experience the bird & bear’s new knack for motoring. Your price for flight is but [...]

Finally, a game where waggling a Wiimote is used to simulate the actual act of waggling something! GameCyte took a moment to sample Sega’s Samba de Amigo for the Wii on the show floor at E3 2008, and we’ve got impressions for the maraca enthusiast in all of us.

GameCyte had the opportunity to stop by Valve Software’s booth at E3 2008, and escape the humid hellscape of Los Angeles long enough to enter the rotting hellscape of Left 4 Dead. We got some hands-on play experience with Valve’s upcoming co-op horror game, and spent the better part of half an hour trying desperately [...]
