Read MoreNews by Matt S. There are a bunch of really good looking games that have been shown off at E3 this year that missed out on getting a showing in Sony’s show. But Sony has been busy promoting the games through other means, and we felt that it would be…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Sony had a truly great showing with its E3 showcase this year, with blockbuster after blockbuster managing to delight audiences for almost 90 minutes, with barely a moment of people on stage talking about stuff as filler. But I had issues with it nonetheless, which I’ll…
