E3 2008: IndieCade

I already took the time to tell you about my favorite game from the IndieCade section of this year’s E3 show floor, but it was far from the only game on display. I have an unhealthy love for independent games — you tend to see some of the most creative and least “safe” ideas in [...]

E3 2008: Sonic Unleashed

Poor Sonic. Intriguing RPGs and Smash appearances aside, the blue blur has fallen on some hard times lately; he hasn’t had a solid core game since, arguably, Sonic Adventure 2, 7 years ago. I know, I’ve been checking up on him. I played Sonic Heroes, and I played Shadow the Hedgehog. I played the demo [...]

E3 2008: Tomb Raider: Underworld

At last week’s E3 Summit, we stopped in to visit Eidos, and check up on what Lara Croft has been up to since her anniversary. It would seem she’s staying active, which is nice for a franchise her age. Eidos treated us to a sneak peek at Tomb Raider: Underworld, showing us a few of [...]

E3 2008: The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

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 [...]

E3 2008: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Impressions

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 [...]

WiiWare Wednesday: Toki Tori

For my inaugural weekly WiiWare Wednesday weview review, I took a crack at Toki Tori, a puzzle-platformer developed and published by Two Tribes. The game is actually an re-imagining of Toki Tori for the Game Boy Color, Two Tribes’ first game ever released. The original version sold poorly, perhaps due to its release coming after gamers [...]

New Banjo-Kazooie Isn’t a Racing Game But Sometimes You Race In It

Microsoft and Rare have finally let the bird out of the bag, announcing that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is the newest game in the BK franchise, scheduled for a 2008 holiday release on Xbox 360. Though the game will retain some of its traditional platforming elements, the game’s primary focus is on vehicles — the [...]
