E3: Mass Effect 3 gameplay demo
It’s due out early next year and RPG fans can’t wait. Mass Effect 3 teased us with some gameplay videos at E3. At least; they’re pitched to this blogger as gameplay videos but it’s hard to tell them from set pieces. Either way; this Mass Effect 3 fan remains super keen. What do we know […]
E3: Syfy’s and Trion’s MMO – will it be called One Earth?
At the start of the year Geek Native wrote about One Earth. This would be a new type of MMO that ran in conjunction with a TV show (on Syfy). The concept was simple, compelling, addictive but very hard to do. The TV show and the MMO would reflect each other. For example, if two […]

E3: Halo 4 trailer
Thanks to a pesky little leak from Microsoft’s own website – we knew we’d be getting both Halo 4 and a reboot of the franchise. That doesn’t mean there was reason to turn away from E3’s Halo 4 announcement today. This video – at risk of being YouTube yanked, I fear – captures the all […]
