E3 12: XCOM: Enemy Unknown Trailer

The XCOM franchise has been the sole source of a lot of my gaming anxiety these past few years. The prospects of the XCOM inspired Xenonauts got me really pumped up but then came news about an official XCOM game and its seeming lack of XCOM-ness. I expected that I’d need to turn to the folks who occupy the indie side of things if I ever wanted to feel that turn based euphoria again, but the world works in very [...]

There aren’t very many games out there that can make a grown main soil himself. The original Dead Space is one of the leading contenders. I’ll openly admit that I jumped like a little girl many times through my first play through, and loved every minute of it. EA started off their press conference with a teaser trailer for the next installment in the series, Dead Space 3. The trailer didn’t show us a whole lot about what to expect, but [...]

According to the Chinese calendar, 2012 is the year of the game delay. One of the many delays from this year was the previously unnamed South Park game that we now know will be called South Park: The Stick of Truth. Trey Parker and Matt Stone showed off their shiny game during the Xbox presser at E3, and we have a lot to talk about … First of all, no one destroys my favorite quiet redneck Colorado mountain town without [...]

by Justin Lacey in: Podcasts, The Cursed Checkpoint

All of the attention turns to the games of E3 2012 as Justin, Ethan, and Josh recap the Konami, EA, and Ubisoft press conferences. There are also plenty of other games to talk about outside of the conferences including the best looking game of E3. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of [...]

E3 12: The Last of Us Demo

The room was dark. Suddenly strange noises were being played, but still no visuals. It was late in Sony’s press conference and I knew there was only one necessary thing missing. The feed lights up again and it’s clear: The best has been saved for last. The Last of Us. What followed was a jaw-dropping edge-of-my-seat rollercoaster ride of emotions. Wonder at the urban environment overrun by vegetation, appreciation for the level of detail and, most importantly, amazement from start [...]

The E3 Experience: Clinging to Hope

Admittedly, over the years I haven’t spent as much time watching E3 coverage as many might. I watch what I can, when I can, and I try to consume the information I’m most interested in. Press conferences are turning into dog-and-pony shows that feel disconnected on many fronts, two of which are the dreaded teleprompter and staged conversations. Video game information feels like an afterthought and if you really want to see games, you have to find the right livestream [...]

Sony’s 2012 E3 Press Conference and Jack Tretton. All business. Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Josh discussing the highs and lows of the press conference? About as business-like as a brick to the face. Which is still awesome. The Cursed Checkpoint is a topical video game podcast focused on discussions and interviews about a single video game, genre, news headline, or industry story. It features a rotating cast of up to 3 members of the Horrible Night writing staff and/or video game [...]

The E3 Experience: Genuine Surprise

Over the past few years I’ve been extremely excited for all things E3. I wanted to see the surprises, the new hardware, and the complete misses (laser tag?). No matter how high my excitement level or how low the factor of disappointment, I always appreciated what E3 had to offer. This year, that started to change. For the first time in a couple of years I wasn’t able to watch the press conferences live as they happened. I, like many [...]
