E3 2013 Android Amusements: Despicable Me: Minion Rush
Well, this week’s Android Amusements is a day late. Sorry, as it’s all due to E3-ness. Actually, this week’s Android Amusements game is E3 2013 related as well, as I found out about Despicable Me: Minion Rush by playing it at Gameloft’s booth on the show floor. I was lured in by the siren song more »
E3 2013: Atelier Meruru Plus works it on the show floor
Oh Atelier Meruru, truly you are my favorite of the three Arland saga Atelier games. It’s just such a fun balance between kingdom building and alchemy creations. Sure, the recorder music and voice acting can send chills down one’s spine, but the overall game is so lovely that I just didn’t care. Which is why more »
E3 2013: Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse relied on cheap shots
I was skeptical about Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. The fact that the game was being called a reimagining of the classic Genesis game, rather than a remaster like DuckTales Remastered, had me worried. After all, the original game was amazing and a lot of people have fond memories of spending their childhoods at more »
E3 2013: I had the look in Girls’ Fashion Shoot
I think we’ve already establish that, deep within the heart of this 30 year old woman beats the soul of a little girl who wants elaborate, engaging and well-made dress-up games. For a long time, Nintendo’s Style Savvy games have kept me covered, but they aren’t enough. I need more, and Rising Star Games’ Girls’ more »
E3 2013: I actually enjoyed Beyblade Evolution
What I am about to share with you all doesn’t leave this room, or rather internet. I pride myself on being a true gamer woman who enjoys the biggest, best and hardest challenges, but so help me I couldn’t help actually liking Beyblade Evolution at E3 2013. I was at a meeting, they had a more »
Critically Playful: Some benefits of gaming
In a recent episode, Katie Couric examined the issue of gaming addiction. While the issue of gaming addiction can be worrisome and important to actually address, Couric’s entry into this topic was flawed to say the least. All flaws of the presentation of the debate, including the lack of an opposing viewpoint, aside, Couric did more »
E3 2013: I helped Sully build castles in Disney Infinity
If you were at E3 2013, odds are you noticed the rather extraordinary amount of Disney Infinity signage. Disney knows it has a tough fight against the already installed Skylanders, and is ready to bring it. As a fan of the latter, I knew I had to try the former. Fortunately, most Disney booth visitors more »
E3 2013: The A.R.E.S Extinction Agenda EX demo beat me
A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX beat me. It bested me at E3 2013. While I was visiting Aksys’ meeting room, I was able to try an array of games, and A.R.E.S Extinction Agenda EX was one of them. I was looking forward to the experience. As I don’t own an Xbox 360, I figured it would more »
E3 2013: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies left me hanging
You have to admire an E3 2013 demo that pretty much states within the demo that it will only take about 10 minutes. There’s no wasting time, getting to the meat of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. Kind of a contradiction, considering the name of the game, but whatever. Capcom had a very nice, more »

E3 2013: Running around a field in Tales of Xillia
Tales of Xillia is a game I’ve been dying to play. With the Tales series, there’s a certain expectation of quality and though the seres sometimes relies too heavily on tropes, I’ve never had a bad time playing one of the games. It’s very hard to offer a demo for this kind of game, given more »
E3 2013: Go home Mario, you’re drunk
Last week, we told you how Nintendo’s Wii U Gaming Showcase at E3 was basically a press conference without chairs. In that article, Jenni Lada mentioned how Mario warmed up the crowd by providing constant banter for what felt like 10-20 minutes. The voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, was actually on site providing the words more »
