Just looking at the game on a strictly technical level makes it abundantly clear that this is not the Fable fans will be expecting. Much of the interesting design that Lionhead has established has been made more palatable and also less visually appealing. In plainer terms, since that's what the game was shooting for, the project looks too "kiddy." But even that would have been understandable if the game had decent collision detection or didn't constantly suffer from frame-rate probl


Speaking of studios that have been missing in action for awhile, Rocksteady's next major release has likely been in development for two years, but we still don't have an inkling as to what it could be. There have been rumors that Rocksteady's next title will be a Superman game or something else involving DC comic heroes, but nothing official has been announced so far. Batman: Arkham Knight launched two years ago, and the small Batman: Arkham VR project released last year, so fans should be able to expect to see something from Rocksteady sooner rather than la

Scarecrow's fear toxin forces his victims to hallucinate their greatest fears, and that's exactly what happens to Batman in Batman: Arkham Asylum . Scarecrow's toxin tricks Batman into thinking he is trapped in a forever-looping morgue where he is subjected to a slew of horrific images, including his dead parents rising from inside body bags to taunt


There's a lot of weird stuff in Fallout 3 's Capital Wasteland, but perhaps the most disturbing place players can come across is the small town of Andale. Andale's residents seem like normal citizens living in post-apocalyptic Washington, but after speaking with Old Man Harris, it's clear the town is harboring a dark sec


While Fable proper was about taking one's player through a pre-determined life cycle — making life-altering decisions along the way — Fable Heroes puts up to four players in control of a wide variety of Fable archetypes. Rather than giving each player the gameplay mechanics present in the RPG version of the game, Heroes designates each player's "puppet hero" with a specific skill. There are a handful of puppets to choose from, some of which hearken back to key moments in Fable 's history, but all basically fall into one of three roles (ranged, melee, mag


The second section is arguably the best part of Fable 3 . The king has been overthrown and all those people who've received promises from the hero come calling. The hero can live up to their end of the bargain or choose to break the promise in order to earn more money. While it seems like a simple ‘Good v. Evil’ character decision, it’s not black and white. A large amount of money is required to defend Albion from an outside foe. These choices go beyond the standard ‘Good v. Evil’ choices found in most games like this, and it really adds to the experience of the game. Players finally will feel like every choice they make can/will affect the world in some way. In turn, the third section of the game is directly affected by choices in the second. So depending on the choices made in the first sections, the world of Albion will be quite different at the end of the game. In the interest of not spoiling major plot points, I won't go into further detail about the third sect

Tetris was already great on its own-- just look at last year's Tetris Effect --and splicing battle royale mechanics in there only embellished the whole multiplayer experience. As the game has received some single-player and local multiplayer modes since launch, Arika and Nintendo's game has cemented itself as one of the best Tetris titles of all time. It's becoming a mobile game too . That's always a good sign, ri


Capcom had a presence at E3, most notably revealing Monster Hunter World , but one of the company's biggest franchises, Resident Evil , wasn't given any love at the show. Capcom didn't pull the curtain back on Resident Evil 7 's Not A Hero DLC as some expected, and it also failed to unveil the Resident Evil 2 remake, a game that fans have been waiting to see for years now. The Resident Evil 2 remake has been in the works for a couple of years, so a trailer or something official seems like it could come any day, even though it skipped E3 this y


The first thing to know about Fable 3 is that it's pure and simple fun. Traveling through the land of Albion is an enjoyable experience, interacting with the locals, completing quests, battling monsters and saving the day. The second thing to know is that Fable 3 is flawed in some key areas which prevents it from being an elite g


Not only was the Metroid Prime 4 announcement surprising, but so too was the confirmation that the game isn't being developed by Retro Studios . Retro worked on the original trilogy of Metroid Prime Adventure games Patch notes, and many fans were expecting the studio to return for Metroid Prime 4 , only to learn that the game is being developed by a brand new team. But if Retro Studios isn't working on Metroid Prime 4 , what could it possibly be developing? Its last game, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze , launched three years ago, so the timing is right for Retro to showcase its next project, whether that's at next year's E3 or during a special Nintendo Dir
