If you’re even remotely interested in gaming, you’ve probably heard about some of the announcements making the rounds these days. I don’t know, stuff like a remake of Final Fantasy VII, Fallout 4, a new Deus Ex, an expansion for Destiny, a new Hitman, Star Wars: Battlefront, just to name a few. All of these games have been showcased ahead of E3, the biggest gaming trade show in the world.
While console and PC gaming remain the main attractions, mobile gaming has carved a niche for itself at E3, and it’s only going to get bigger which each edition. That’s why we decided to attend the show for the first time, and this is where you can see our coverage.
We will be updating this post with new videos and links as they come, so keep it tuned!
Videos and hands-on
Day #3

Oculus Rift is the most talked about VR headset of the moment, and that’s no accident. Oculus has made the biggest strides towards making VR a consumer-ready technology. Is the hype warranted? Read our Oculus Rift VR reactions post.
YouTube Gaming
Twitch is huge, but Google has set its sight on it. YouTube Gaming is the newcomer in the gaming streaming arena, but the service looks ready for prime-time. Read our YouTube Gaming hands-on post.
Unkilled
Maybe you haven’t heard about Unkilled, but very likely you know the game’s predecessor: Madfinger Games’ Dead Trigger 2. Read our Unkilled impressions post.
Day #2
Sony Project Morpheus reactions
Lanh talks about his experience using Sony’s Project Morpheus virtual reality set. This is a PlayStation accessory, but given how VR blurs the line between platforms (and how cool the device is), we had to give it a try. Read our post on Project Morpheus here.
Minions’ Paradise
Everyone loves minions, right? EA sure hopes that’s the case, as the publisher announced a build-harvest title called Minions’ Paradise that puts you in charge of a horde of yellow subjects. Read our post on Minions’ Paradise here.
Siegefall
Gameloft is as big as they come in the mobile gaming industry, and the publisher had a healthy presence here at E3. We got a look at the very cool looking Siegefall, as well as two other games. Read our post on Siegefall here.
FIFA
EA Sports wants to bring to smartphones some of those sweet graphics and intricate controls you see on a FIFA console or PC title. We were pretty impressed by the results. Read our post on FIFA here.
