Counter Strike: Global Offensive Info
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is not exactly a great leap for the series. It is not meant to be Counter Strike 2 but a revamp of the old game. That being said, we should not sell this game short as any CS veteran would be more than happy with this game. The game will be available for PC, Xbox360, PS3 and PC players.
Valve has actually spent some time and tweaked some of the factors of the game, the most noticeable of which is the new and improved look of the game. The map layouts, loadout interface and the physics of the game have also gone through some changes.
Anyone who has ever played any of the games from the series will instantly recognize

New Survival Horror Game
Okay, I don't know about you guys but I was a huge fan of Gorky 17 aka Odium in the US. If you guys don't know what this is, let me explain it to you.
Gorky 17 is basically a survival horror RPG which combined the charm of point and click adventure games with turn-based combat mechanics. If you are a fan of survival horror games like Resident Evil then this game is a must play for you.

Watch Dogs
In my opinion, Ubisoft won this year's E3. They launched games on every possible platform and all of them looked amazing. They also had a nice little surprise for us at the end of their presentation. Ubisoft Montreal had been working on a new IP for a while which had been kept completely hidden. The game is called Watch Dogs and from the initial gameplay demo I can already tell you that this is going to be a keeper.
The game takes place in the future where everything electronic is run by a Central Operating System termed CTOS. So basically everything (subways, security cameras, traffic lights etc.) is run by the CTOS. Thanks to this, the Private Companies who control the system are nearly untouchable. Information

The first ever Halo 4 gampelay was shown at the Microsoft press conference at E3. All diehard fans of the franchise were a bit on edge about the upcoming game considering the fact that a completely new company was developing Halo 4. The return of Master Chief himself did little to calm them down.I remember watching a random late night talk show in which one of the hosts exclaimed "Why should we be excited about Halo 4 when strangers are making the game?". The fact that Bungie Studios split from Microsoft and the game was passed over to 343 Industries was not very well received by fans worldwide. A good analogy would be as if Santa Monica Studios had given the rights to God of War to an internal studio of Sony. It just wouldn't feel right.
Fortunately though, the gameplay demo shown by 343 Industries at E3 blew away these concerns, wowed the crowd and got the fans excited yet again for a new Halo. If you missed the demo check it out in the following link:

Info on The Last of Us
Very few people in the gaming community, if at all, have little or no idea about Naughty Dog, the creators of the Uncharted series. All the Uncharted games are cinematic masterpieces with amazing replay potential. Everything was spot on with those games and each successive installment outshined its predecessor by leaps and bounds.
That is exactly why everyone was so excited when Naughty Dog mentioned their new IP some time back; a post-apocalyptic survival game going by the name "The Last of Us." We had been hearing a lot about how it was going to be different from the Uncharted series in the fact that it will be more serious and darker. Finally this E3 we

Spec Ops: The Line - Online Multiplayer Details
Today we will be taking a look at the multiplayer aspect of Spec Ops: The Line. Nowadays almost all games have to have some sort of multiplayer especially if it is a first person or third person shooter.
Mutliplayer components these days are mainly used to increase the value of the game itself. They not only increase the allure of the games but also significantly increase the length of the game. Sadly, sometimes they are just sloppily made and do nothing more than frustrate players. I will just present you with my opinion of the multiplayer and whether it is good or not, you can be the judge of that.
First of all, they have

Gaming Controllers, Which Console Design is #1?
No doubt over the years we have seen companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo as the frontrunners in gaming, change their controllers or make new ones to help feed this era of technology driven individuals. After stumbling upon an article about which controller is the best, it came down to the Xbox 360 controller and the PS3 controller.
Over many years of trying to remodel their controllers, I do sincerely agree that the Xbox 360 and the PS3 controllers are the best that the market has to offer as of late. Which one is better, is

Halo 4 Toys have revealed new Halo 4 enemies.
An image was taken of a Halo 4 figurine. The back of the packaging revealed the name of two new Halo 4 enemies. The watcher and the crawler. While no other news has surfaced regarding these enemies we imagine E3 will give us a lot more info on Halo 4 and of these two new baddies.
While the reveal isn't too large a spoiler since we all imagined new enemies were on the way, you can suspect that the company McFarlane Toys responsible for the Halo 4 toys will be more careful in the future.
