Quantum Break may cross paths with Alan Wake
Speaking with Joystiq, Remedy creative director Sam Lake hinted that the studio's Xbox One game Quantum Break may have a connection to Alan Wake. We jokingly asked if Quantum Break was really just a story written by Alan. He said no, but added that Quantum Break deals with many timelines and ...
Seen@E3: A McLaren P1 (for real this time)
Earlier this week, we posted a photograph of two McLaren supercars. We mistakenly thought they were the McLaren P1, the car that Microsoft used to promote Forza Motorsport 5 during its E3 press event. They were, in fact, McLaren MP4-12Cs. It was an egregious error, and for that we apologize. ...
Pac-Man Museum collection coming to digital platforms, includes Pac-Man Battle Royale
Ghosts everywhere are quivering in terror, as Namco has made a pair of new Pac-Man announcements. First up is Pac-Man Museum, a collection of games spanning Pac-Man's history. The publisher hasn't announced the full line-up of games, though it will include Pac-Man's "humble beginnings," ...
The brutal, proactive combat of Ryse: Son of Rome
When I saw Crytek's Ryse: Son of Rome demonstrated during Microsoft's E3 press briefing, I was worried. The once Kinect and now controller-driven game, apart from being visually impressive thanks to an Xbox One upgrade, looked pretty generic. When I sat down to play it at an event later that night, ...

Drink in these PlayStation 4 hardware photos
We snagged some photos of the PlayStation 4 hardware and accessories at E3 2013. Just try to look at that console without thinking of "Also Sprach Zarathustra." Also, try not to look too close – it's pointy. ...
Bayonetta rocks a new do in Bayonetta 2 gameplay trailer
There's a lot going on in this Bayonetta 2 trailer. Angels are slaughtered, giant monsters are fought and plenty of flashy torture attacks are unleashed. At one point, Bayonetta sprouts wings. She's also sporting a new hairdo. Under normal circumstances, that wouldn't mean much, but given ...
Wii Fit U delayed to December
Wii Fit U, the latest entry in Nintendo's fitness series, has stumbled on the old jogging trail. Originally slated for the first half of 2013, the game will now be released in December. The news comes courtesy of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in the company's E3 Nintendo Direct presentation. ...
Seen@E3: One of those Titanfall mechs
Standing watch over EA's E3 press conference at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles was a massive mech from Titanfall. It was kind of cool until we realized its eye was moving, at which point it became terrifying. See it for yourself after the break. ...
Seen@E3: A pair of McLaren MP4-12Cs
Outside of its E3 press briefing, Microsoft had two McLaren MP4-12C cars emblazoned with Forza Motorsport 5 logos. We've been made to understand that these are very impressive cars. We went to Jordan Mallory, Joystiq's resident car lover, for some expert commentary. When shown the photograph ...
