So Nintendo wins E3 this year even if they technically weren't completely at it.

With all the games to be released ill be grabbing a wii u some point in the near future (as I knew I would once smash brothers, mk and others were announced.)


Also new pokemon type, the first new type since the original gold and silver introduced. Dark and steel I think. Fairy is the new type, super effective against dragon, and members include gardevior and jigglypuff...

Predictable but pretty good showing for Nintendo. They have a steady stream of software until years end and hopefully beyond. I was pleasantly surprised by Mario Kart impressing me the most. After expecting another phoned in version it was nice to see some actual effort being put in. It helps that it bears some resemblance to my long lost F-Zero now too

I found Sony's conference the most enjoyable part of this E3 though, the MS blasting was great to watch, and then the price plenty reasonable. Their general attitude was good and made me think PS4 will have a good future. Right now only Shadow Fall and Driveclub interest me for launch so we'll see if they're enough to make me grab one then!

Vita game announements were downright pathetic in numbers but i'm still looking forward to a few games this year. I'll pick up Rayman Legends, Killzone Mercenary and Final Fantasy X HD. Killzone is looking superb!

Passed Tomb Raider Now selling $20 plus postage.

Hints/Tips: Collect all mines in mine sweeper challenge when first on Shipwrecked Beach. Mines are known to move and get stuck in the cliff rocks and are harder to spot and kill. Couple of mines will not show up on Instincts at night because the tide is in and covers the mines. Some mines may disappear as a possible bug. Two of the secret achievements are easy to obtain while the third is very tricky.

Overall a good game and it shows how Lara gained her skills doing leaps and jumps, climbing things etc and become a tomb raider. There was one wtf moment right near the end? Those Solarii that just show up at the very end, how did they get there? It was only Miathais shown to go inside the Monastery The tombs themselves were small and easy. Its more of a third person shooter like that Island game

Solid 8/10.

Just had an awesome 5 hour session of Infamous 2. Loved it. Both the game AND the fact I managed to get a massive long sitting in without interruptions. Well toilet and coffee breaks of course, but that goes without saying!

Felt good

There are sooooooo many cheaters in Dead Space 2 multiplayer these days it's not funny.... starting to think I should start playing the Mass Effect trilogy and give up on DS....

Oh man The Last of Us is really enjoyable and I've been immersed in the game the whole time. Many times I've panic and this game does feel like an R18+ game unlike mortal kombat. 6hrs of play and I'm about 35% through the main story. To all you ps3 owners out there. BUY THE LAST OF US!!

Played another few hours of tomb raider on the weekend (love it when reports are in and most of the planned program is taught). I'm glad I only had time for a few hours, this game is emotionally draining, I feel terrible every time I get Lara killed with my ineptitude (that journey down river was painful, even though I only died four times)

The crap they have put that poor girl through...
