Max Anarchy: Max Payne's Crazy Japanese Relative

PREVIEW
Title: Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns
Platform: 360/PS3
Release Date: 5th July 2012 (Japan), Q1 2013 (US/EU)


Max Anarchy (Anarcht Reigns in the West) is a game where your objective is to obliterate all the opponents in a large arena with a series of over the top weapons and abilities, all the while chaining huge combinations. If the sound of a Devil May Cry-style over-the-top action game but with multiplayer has ever intrigued you, then be intrigued by this game!

Seriously, you don't want to be on the receiving end of this.

An Evening With The 3DS - Part 2

What else did we see from Nintendo's exclusive hour of 3DS magic?

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

We've had far too much coverage of this game, several trailers with one in particular spanning nearly 10 minutes. As a long term fan of the series I'm constantly left wondering "when are we getting Kingdom Hearts 3?" A sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2 and inspired with the new knowledge we learned from Birth by Sleep, the adventure follows Sora and Riku as they do some other nonsensical quest where we meet Disney characters along the way.

An Evening With The 3DS - Part 1

At their E3 press conference, Nintendo promised they'd be showing off a lot more titles in this specially planned hour dedicated to everyone's new favourite portable: the 3DS. Did they show us everything we wanted and more? Let's see what was offered!

E3 2012 Day 2 Nintendo Conference

If you came to the Nintendo conference expecting the announcement for new games, I'm afraid you'll have to wait till a separate reveal tomorrow. What they did show was definitely nothing unexpected and the distinct lack of third-party titles made me a little sad.


Pikmin 3

The previous installment came out in 2004 so a sequel has been a long time coming. New Pikmin types and a tease about 4 new characters. I can only assume that they will all be simultaneously working together to solve maps, allowing other players to drop-in and drop-out using the second WiiU gamepad or any of the other Wii controllers.

E3 2012 Round 4 Sony

 I've always favoured the original Playstation logo honestly.

 

Sony, the big hitter, you'd expect them to come up with a lot of nice titles to wow us with seeing as they're something of a powerhouse in the industry - although not financially if you've been following the latest news. It's been an interesting conference...

E3 2012 Round 3 Ubisoft

Ubisoft have delivered some nice content this year, including a deliciously well-kept secret. But I think I'm not alone in being excited about hearing more WiiU news.

There are some big hitters in the Ubisoft corner (Assassin's Creed) but a lot of titles surprised me when they were showcased.

E3 2012 Round 1 Microsoft Conference

Kicking off the event was the Microsoft conference. 

A mixed bag, mostly nothing unexpected and the continuation of many of their ongoing franchises and not many new IPs to speak of.
