Trailer Watch: Microsoft Media Briefing @ E3 2013
It’s the 2013th annual Electronic Entertainment Expo! Sadly I’m not able to be there in person nor watch the briefings/press conferences/90 minutes adverts live. I’ll be as prompt as I can with Sony’s briefing but it’s on at 2am local so expect it tomorrow. Anyway, on with the Microsoft Media Briefing! So, after the less than well received announcement for the Xbox One just a couple of weeks ago Microsoft are first to the stage […]

Some obvious (Bill Gates) others […]

Trailer Watch 15th May 2013: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Pokemon X and Y, Hellraid
There has been an inevitable lull in trailers this week, what with Microsoft’s XBox announcement/conference next Tuesday. That being said there are still some pretty interesting things coming out soon some of which have trailers worth watching. Techland are known for their ridiculously brilliant trailers. The announcement trailer for Dead Rising was brutal, in all of the right ways. It’s a shame that the game barely registered above a resigned ‘meh’. It’s refreshing, then, to […]
