Our observation radar station in San Fransisco (code named E32012) recently spotted an approaching alien scout ship. An XCOM unit was dispatched to the landing site. We have news and video from the battle, and an excepted date of arrival for the alien fleet.
Ahhh Paradox, what will you think of next I wonder? I’ve just taken a little gander at the wonderful E3 trailer for Dungeonland, a co-op action point-and-slash game. The trailer is after the jump, it sees Mark Venturelli lead designer of Brazilian developers Critical Studio talk through four key features of the game all while a heap of game action takes place.

And our penultimate conference of E3 comes from Sony. How will the holders of the metaphorical PlayStation keys grab our attention this year, and more importantly will Kevin Butler make an appearance?
In all the hubris of E3 there seemed to be a running theme. Aside from the copious numbers of bow and arrow action, many of the stuff shown had been very safe, very comfortable. That is until the end of Ubisoft’s presentation…
Next up, EA’s contribution to E3. We can certainly expect Dead Space 3, some Battlefield news, and some footage from Crysis 3 alongside the usual sports updates – but maybe there are a few surprises in store?
Has it been a full year already? Allow me to welcome you once again to another year of manic obsessiveness, hootin’ and hollerin’ and awkward simulated families on stage to promote another stack of gaming goodness exploding all over our synapses in another E3 megasplosion.
