God of War Collection to Include GoW III Demo

by Dylan Duarte on September 24, 2009

godofwar

The God of War collection smashes onto the PS3 in less than two months featuring the full version of the first two games in the series. While that was enough to make me run out and preorder it (I actually powerwalked), the pot has just been sweetened: the collection will also come with a voucher to download the E3 God of War III demo. That’s right! There is a God. Of War. And he’s on his way.

Scribblenauts given UK release date

by Sam Naylor on July 18, 2009

Scribblenauts, the fantastic-looking DS game that went big after an appearance at this year’s E3, is coming to the UK on September 25, following a North American release of September 15. I’ve embedded the above video to give you a look into what the game is all about- you can write almost anything and have it appear on screen. It’s rapidly becoming one of the most hyped DS games this year, and is even causing bouts of “I need a DS just to play this game” syndrome.

Adult Swim’s Favorite E3 2009 Announcements

by Dylan Duarte on June 14, 2009

adultswim-thoughts-on-e309

I love the kooks behind Adult Swim and this just reminds me how awesome they are. It also re-confirms that all cool people like video games. Hit the jump for their thoughts on the show. Read more…

microsoft-magic-e309

This just in, Microsoft has bought the PS3 with intentions of turning Sony’s next gen console into an Xbox 360 exclusive….ok not “really” but they might as well.

Ok, it’s been a crazy day for me. Running around and just now getting a chance to sit down for a moment. I’ll just talk a bit about the Microsoft keynote. Nothing really took my breath away. Watching Cliffy narrate a side scrolling action game with bosses that turn into invisible platforms was cool (not really). Left for Dead 2 was the highlight of the show for me prior to seeing the Milo’rific finale. Read more…

In one of the most exciting rumours in a long time, Destructoid has received info that LucasArts will possibly be reviving an old franchise, and note Grim Fandango and The Secret of Monkey Island as possible candidates. In case you didn’t know, I’m a big fan of both. Perhaps it’s a little sad that I’m so optimistic about games being announced that I’ve already played, but I don’t care. I love them both, even with my cold, dry heart.

E3 2009 Continues to Grow Larger

by Tyrell Jackson on March 19, 2009

Today the ESA announces that the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2009 has sold 90 percent of its available exhibitor space with over 100 exhibitors to attend. Furthermore, the expo is reaching its projected number of 40,000 attendees, which includes industry professionals, general attendees, and members of the media. Read more…

Breaking E3 09 news just hit our overflowing inbox here at Ripten. If the previous X-Play E3 09 announcement regarding the event’s return to its roots, as well as the LA Convention Center, had you reaching for your gaming stash (don’t pretend you have no clue what I mean), then prepare to light up again tonight at 8PM EST.

Tonight’s episode of X-Play on G4TV, welcomes the ESA, and promises answers to the following E3 09 questions available after the jump. Read more…

Remember E3 2008? No, neither do I. It’s not worth the space in my memory. In the future, though, it seems that E3 will become something to look back fondly upon! E3 is being renamed and remodeled back from the E3 Media and Business Summit to the old name, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The ESA had this to say on the matter:

After conducting both qualitative and quantitative research, ESA officials stated changes were necessary to better meet the needs of both exhibitors and attendees— these changes include increased booth sizes, increased qualified audiences, and an intensified focus on reinforcing the high-octane growth, innovation, and capitivating entertainment that are driving the computer and video game industry.

Back to the ‘old’ E3? Well, I should certainly hope so. Even if it does go back to that, will it surpass PAX (The Penny Arcade Expo) ? I wouldn’t say so. PAX is ever-growing, and E3 crippled itself in these last few years. Nevertheless, it’s good news to hear that E3 is actually trying to better itself.

Nintendo’s fall press conference brings us confirmation of a cornucopia of new games and announcements. Some are even saying it was what E3 should have been. Chad already posted news of a new Punch-Out title, but that is just a tiny slice of the cake that Nintendo so generously handed out to us all. Hit the jump for the full list! Read more…

The Demise of E3: ESA to Blame? Think Again.

by Justin Arnold on July 24, 2008

You never really appreciate something until it’s gone — or in this case, chased from a city by angry gaming press with torches and pitchforks.

As E3 showed up, sputtered, then crept out of Los Angeles — hanging its head in dejected embarrassment — industry bloggers and reporters of every stripe began panning this years offering from the Electronic Software Association. Some pontificated on the trade show’s demise, stating that this year’s incarnation was merely its death-throes, and that it had become a weary, tired beast, in desperate need of being tied to a tree and mercifully shot.

Puzzlingly, the ESA seems to be the favored whipping boy when I believe that it is the developers who showed up ala the Emperor, wearing nary but a smile.

There is no doubt that E3 has been suffering from a degenerative illness as of late, but one that can hardly be blamed on the substantive lack of booth-babes with dual-side airbags. The truth is that the offerings from the Big Three have been mediocre at best, and at worst, a bloviating scrum of corporate narcissism.

How else could anyone characterize the Nintendo conference? Microsoft was a little better, and Sony continued to march merrily, if not obstinately, off a cliff called “denial.” Read more…

E3 2009 May Be The End

by Chad Lakkis on July 22, 2008

Reports confirm that E3 is slated to return in 2009, however it may be the event’s swan song. Gamespot’s Brendan Sinclair stated the following:

” … there are plans for at least one more E3. A representative with the event’s organizers at the Electronic Software Association affirmed that much for GameSpot today …”

The aforementioned ESA associate was then quoted saying:

“As we do every year, we’re beginning the process of surveying exhibitors and attendees to determine potential changes to the Summit … Once this is completed and shared with the ESA’s Board of Directors, we will make an announcement about the specifics of the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit, which will occur.”

It appears that the once proud event may be on its last leg, and it is unclear just how much more verbal punishment the ESA is willing to tolerate before closing E3’s doors for good.

Hands-On Preview: Wario Land: Shake It!

by Emily Balistrieri on July 22, 2008

When the Shake King of the Shake Dimension captures the all the cute little Merfles, he misses one. If only that poor guy could’ve run into Mario instead, because Wario could care less about the plight of these beings from another world.

That is, until he learns that the King also has a big bag of gold coins waiting to be snatched away as well. So, Wario gets embroiled in Wario Land: Shake It!, a 2-D platformer instead of a mini-game collection, and we all smile as he stuff himself down a pipe via awesome hand-drawn style animation.

E3 Update: The Agency

by Emily Balistrieri on July 22, 2008

While the E3 demo of the online shooter, The Agency, wasn’t playable or live, just a walkthrough of a pre-recorded video, Sonly Online Entertainment did assure us that they have gotten to the point in the office where they are having fun with the pre-alpha builds.

You may have heard of The Agency as an MMO for PS3, but they have gotten away from calling it that, since MMOs have that time-sucking stigma attached to them. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the gamers they are going after don’t spend hours and hours in Halo or Call of Duty. Read more…

What the F**k is with the Fallout 3 E3 Trailer?

by Dan Landis on July 12, 2008

As a longtime Fallout fan, the possibilities of Fallout 3 have me quite excited.  When I saw the first teaser for the game, I got goose bumps.  Now Bethesda unleashes this “new” trailer over a year later, and it is almost the same trailer all over again! Read more…

Sega’s ReBrand Kicks Some Serious Ass

by Chad Lakkis on July 1, 2008

As E3 approaches and I find myself frantically trying to prepare by reaching out to as many publishers as I can before they simply insist that I stop calling, I found myself today spending a few minutes on Sega’s website. As I clicked around, taking it all in, I kept thinking to myself “GO SEGA!”

Back in 2006, brandchannel.com called Sega “played out” adding that their web presence was “dull and disappointing”. To be fair, the last time I remember seeing their site it was dark and not very appealing at all, but looking at it now from a pure design standpoint it is bright, clean, inviting, and has me genuinely rooting for their success. Sega bandwagon — here I come! Read more…

Why You Won’t See Duke Nukem Forever at E3

With E3 fast approaching, we’ve decided to put this video up to demonstrate the awesomeness that we will never see there.  The following should be considered “not safe for work,” but it might be worth the risk to watch it right now anyways. Read more…
