There is nothing more attractive in this world than watching a hardcore gamer dance around a tiny room vaguely in time to some music game emanating from their flat screen TV. Prepare yourselves for more beauty as Just Dance 4 is coming to every motion control platform. The game has modes that will allow up to 6 players to dance at once - imagine in your mind's eye such a wondrous image.
The proverbial mic was dropped, picked back up and then dropped again. Sony came out swinging at Microsoft in what can only be described as a return to the console wars of old. Their E3 2013 press conference focused a lot on the games coming to the platform, but also on things like price, DRM, and lending games for the PlayStation 4.
The ongoing fixing of SimCity’s multiple problems at launch has received yet another in its long line of patching history. Patch 5.0 for the game will continue to do away with as many bugs as possible, with a special helping of weeding out dirty, lying fire advisors that don’t seem to care about your safety.
Microsoft promised to deliver a E3 2013 press conference filled with games and they delivered. Not only did we get to see 13 new titles coming to the Xbox One - we saw a brand new smaller Xbox 360 which looks closer to the Xbox One's design.
Portal 2’s co-op mode has a brand new DLC campaign that immerses players in the Portal universe more so than any other time before it. Using the PlayStation Move as the controller, we can now control the portal gun in a whole new way. The PlayStation Blog even stated it to be one of the best games to use the PlayStation Move peripheral to date (seal of approval included).
Well, it's press conference day here at E3 2013, and we've just returned from our morning adventures, so it's time to recap what we saw, speculate about what might have co-op, and for me personally, geek out about a returning franchise.
Resident Evil: Revelations was something of a mixed bag for RE fans. On the one hand, it was a "return to roots" in some ways as all the classic design mechanics of the original (like "tank" controls and tight corridors packed with foes) returned. On the other, it was still a modern RE game and that meant some weird plotting and bad voice acting. One of the best features of the game, however, was its Raid mode, which allowed you to team up with a friend and fight your way through missions in order to get money/points so you could upgrade and clear more missions. The mode included the ability to select from a few of the game's more memorable characters, along with some alternative outfits that can be unlocked.
Mmm, donuts. This past Friday was National Donut Day in America. Yeah, we missed it too, so don't feel too bad. Since every day is donut day in real life, The Behemoth has decided that BattleBlock Theater is going to let you have a belated snack. And it's calorie-free, too! From now until June 13th, anyone who owns BattleBlock can sign in and watch as a special prisoner named Donut pops out of the vault. Easy!

Last time we talked about TT Games' next LEGO entry, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, we got to see a few of the characters getting prepared to face off against one of the Marvel universe's biggest threats: Galactus' head silhouette. Today, we've got some fresh screens that show off a few of those heroes in action, as well as some of the quite beautiful environments in which they'll be battling. Anyone fans of Asgard?
When I play 2 player side scrolling shooters I just want to hang from a missile with a pal, is that too much to ask? Apparently not with the Contra series, as this is one of the selling points of the series. You can now get your hands on the undercarriage of a SAM in the latest port of the PlayStation 2's Contra Shattered Solider on PSN.
