E3 2017 is now in the books, and like usual, it was a huge show featuring a wide variety of games. Some of the industry’s biggest upcoming games were on display at E3, like God of War , Star Wars Battlefront 2 , Super Mario Odyssey , and more. All things considered, there was a little something for everyone at E3 2017, but even so, there were some games we were hoping to see at the show that didn’t appear for one reason or anot
One way Nintendo has been bolstering the Nintendo Switch’s library of games is by slowly porting popular Wii U titles to the system and throwing the word “deluxe” at the end. While some Nintendo faithful may be annoyed by this approach, it’s worth noting that roughly 12 million people bought a Wii U, meaning that the vast majority of gamers missed out on the Wii U’s biggest games, including titles like Super Smash Bros. for Wii

Like most gamers, our team at Game Rant has enjoyed many of the games released this year, and looks forward to the games set to release in the next year. Much of that excitement spurs from the impressive trailers that have been released over the last 12 months. To commemorate the best and most notable set of trailers released throughout 2016, here are Game Rant’s Top 10 Video Game Trailers of 2
From Death Stranding to Visceral’s mysterious Star Wars game, these are the 10 games we missed the most at E3 2017. Hopefully these games make an appearance at next year’s show, as they would all go a long way in making E3 2018 an event to remem
Needless to say, spell casting becomes increasingly complex as more attack options are enabled. Fireballs must be primed by either shaking your right hand before attacking, or speaking the word “Fireball” out loud. Attacking with Shards, meanwhile, requires that the player holds his or her right hand over and behind their right shoulder, as if throwing a spear, or by saying “Magical Shard.” Generally, motions are recognized more quickly than speech. Each of these actions, on their own, are simple to perform reliably. The trouble is that in the heat of combat, players will need to perform multiple actions, often simultaneously, and Kinect gets confused by the commot
This year’s DOOM made a huge splash in the gaming industry, receiving strong reviews from gamers and critics , and selling well both in stores and digitally. In preparation for the game’s release, id Software released a handful of trailers, including its incredible one-minute Fight Like Hell cinematic trai
Going into E3, one game that seemed like a guarantee for Sony’s press conference was The Last of Us: Part 2 . The game generated significant buzz when it was revealed at the PlayStation Experience last year, but Sony decided not to show it at E3. According to Naughty Dog, the reason for this was to give Uncharted: The Lost Legacy some time in the spotlight , but another motive could be Sony wanting to put more energy into its PlayStation Experience event than
But earning those power-ups isn’t as simple as spending one’s earned coins, it’s actually facilitated via the game’s coolest feature. After each level players accumulate a certain number of dice rolls, which determine the improvements they have access to. Rather than being able to increase your damage percentage outright, players have to hope they roll the appropriate number and land on that space. It’s quite an ingenious little addition, and helps keep that carrot-on-a-stick always out of re
Naughty Dog has had a stellar few years, with most of the Uncharted series seeing strong reviews, including Uncharted 4 , which Game Rant gave a perfect score to. It comes without surprise, then, that PlayStation 4 owners are excited for the opportunity to tackle more of the Uncharted universe with a new title from the develo
Flourishes — charged up versions of each character’s basic attacks — and an AOE attack that sacrifices one heart piece, are also at the player’s disposal as they fight their way through the many enemy types that have pervaded the Fable universe. While the appearance of hollow men, hobbes, and balverines might suggest that this is a Fable game for fans to look forward to, the experience of playing it does
Set 50 years after the events of Fable III (read our review ), Fable: The Journey tells the story of Gabriel , a young Dweller who becomes separated from his caravan and is ultimately called upon to save Albion from The Corruption, an evil entity that is bent on destroying the land with flowing rivers of ropey, bloody goo. Gabriel is aided in his quest by Theresa, the enigmatic, blind seer from the numbered Fable games, and his horse, Seren. It’s a classic Hero’s Journey setup that should lead to rousing Adventure games cheats – but before we get to any of that, a mess
I really like Death Stranding , but for the opposite reasons of most people. Many despise the traversal mechanics and adore Kojima’s writing. I can barely stand many of Kojima’s cringey scenes, but love the melancholic but tense and engaging delivery mechanics. Death Stranding tends to struggle anytime other than when it does do that. While the writing can be bad and the shooting sucks, I was still totally engrossed by Death Stranding and couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Its “Strand Genre” mechanics are also very innovative, showing how multiplayer elements can be combined with a single-player experience for maximum imp
