Duke Nukem Forever is one of those games where hype isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Where hype can utterly destroy a games reputation, sometimes before a game is even released. Duke Nukem Forever is a victim of this and while the game as a whole isn't terrible, you can't help but notice that if it had a bit more care it would be perceived as a great redemption.
Ninja Gaiden was one of those games that made a huge splash upon its return back in 2004 for the original Xbox. It's been 7 years and we are taking a look at the third with a new direction and director at its helm. LVLONE got a chance to get hands on with the game at E3 2011 and we're surprised to find out that some things have changed.
With Nintendo announcing the 3DS at E3 last year it almost didn't come as a surprise that they unveiled their newest console to be making its way into homes soon. Officially named Wii U, the focus is not on the console itself but on the controller. They had playable tech demos along with some games to be arriving for the consoles launch next year, we got a chance to check out what this new device is all about at Nintendo's booth at E3.
Am I a person you would call a Sonic fan? Yes. Have I played every Sonic game? No. Are all Sonic games good? No. But do I still have love for the little blue hedgehog? Absolutely. See Sega has tried to capture Sonic as he once was which isn't always an easy task but dare I say it I think this time they've done it! Sonic Generations brings the series back to its roots this time sporting not only the Sonic we've come to know from Sonic Adventures but the original Sonic from the very first game.
Rockstar has developed quite a number of different titles. We can date back to the early Grand Theft Auto series but they also had Smugglers Run, Midnight Club, Red Dead Redemption and Table Tennis. This time instead of playing the all out do what you want character, your a cop, a standup cop at that. The game isn't your typical sandbox game however as detective work and clue finding is the key components here. L.A. Noire will measure how you interrogate witnesses/suspects, find clues and stop criminals from getting away. Do you have what it takes to be the best detective in Los Angeles?
