E3: Fable: The Journey

Fable: The Journey takes the esbalished RPG franchise is a whole new direction. It’s likely to be a Kinect-centric […]
E3: Ascend New Gods
Do watch the start of this trailer, at least, and let me know if you think it looks almost wargame like in style. I think it does.

E3: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
This strikes me as one of those games that could be really great or really bad – but nothing in between. It might even be a game like Blue Dragon which some people found to be great and others hated. It’s a game from Level-5 and they’ve brought on Studio Ghibli to help with the […]
