If geeks love it, we're on it
While Icrontic was at E3 this past June, I was taking photos for the Shoes of E3 article. As I was photographing a particular pair of pink polka-dot heels, the girl’s boyfriend mentioned that he had custom-painted a pair of Castle Crashers-themed heels. His name is Jacob Patterson, and I recently had a chance to [...] 10 comments
Primesuspect told me before we got out to E3 that we had an interview with Valve Software set for Wednesday. As a huge fan of Valve, I was naturally excited. What that sneaky little editor-in-chief failed to tell me was exactly whom the interview was with. On June 3rd, we got to interview Valve’s VP of [...] 15 comments
In the middle of the chaos of E3, Brian and I were invited out to Pandemic studios on the West side of LA. It was a nice break from the frantic action of the Expo to relax and enjoy a one hour commute in standstill freeway traffic amongst honking motorists. Living the dream. At Pandemic I [...] 3 comments
It was the biggest surprise of E3 for me. The Disney Interactive booth was not one that I eagerly made tracks to. Sure, I’m a huge Disney fan, but I can’t say I can muster much excitement for a DS game focused on the hilarious antics of the Jonas Brothers. I didn’t even set foot in [...] 13 comments
We talk about our first day of E3, and the Ubisoft press conference. 17 comments
I got to see an early demo of Playlogic’s Fairytale Fights at E3, and what they had to show me so far was impressive. The basic premise is that the protagonist is a washed-up fairytale character (the only two they showed were Riding Hood and Snow White, but they promised two more playable characters by [...] 7 comments
There is a lot going on at E3, and there is no way anyone could hear about all of it. Between the announcements of a new L4D, three new Mario games, Metroid: Other M, and Final Fantasy XIV, it’s easy to miss the features from the smaller publishers. I made it a point to visit [...] 7 comments
Later this month, Bethesda will release Point Lookout, a new DLC expansion for Fallout 3. Players can take a ferry to a new area of the wasteland, a decimated swamp filled with decrepit buildings and long abandoned people. Point Lookout’s wasteland area will be about 1/6th that of the original Capital wasteland, and will include [...] 1 comment
Today at E3, we got to play an entire campaign in Left 4 Dead 2, the sequel to Valve’s recent new hit Left 4 Dead. “A sequel?” you ask. “A mere six months after Left 4 Dead? What happened to Valve time?” you may wonder. And you wouldn’t be remiss. These were very popular questions in [...] 5 comments
We’re entirely serious business. We swear. 4 comments
Not being a fan of the NES Power Glove, I really wasn’t too excited when I saw the Peregrine booth here at E3. At first glance I didn’t think much of it, but after listening to them explain the product, I was pretty impressed. The Peregrine Glove is a gaming glove with proprietary TouchPoint [...] Add comment
Rock Band is a tradition at ICHQ, starting with a legendary midnight run during IC Oktoberfest, and carrying on through every event since. Therefore, it was a no-brainer for us to have an interest in MTV Games’ new title The Beatles: Rock Band. We scheduled a spot in the first showfloor demonstration of the game [...] 15 comments
We were on the scene at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, hoping beyond hope that they would announce an actual online service, or a Wii with an upgraded GPU for actual hi-def gaming. We came away disappointed on both fronts, but at least we got to see some of their new game announcements. Lost in the sea [...] 2 comments
Icrontic reporter Bobby Miller has begun updating his blog with his personal experiences about Icrontic’s first year at E3. Things were off to a rocky Monday start here in Los Angeles. Due to a long string of unfortunate events, I was on a separate plane from Scotty and Brian. I arrived in LA well over an [...] Add comment
Fresh out of the Nintendo Press event here at E3, I feel good about the things that Nintendo is working on, but I don’t feel like it’s as new a direction as they seemed to think it was. Their slogan this year is “Everyone’s Game,” which is apt for their new programs. What they want [...] Add comment
