Dead Rising 3 is officially on the way, and the first gameplay demo for the game was shown off at E3 2013 this week.

Whether you’re a fan of the franchise or not, one thing remains increasingly undeniable: boy, they sure get a lot of zombies on your screen. Known for their hordes of undead as well as the wide variety of weapons available to you for dispatching them, Capcom’s game series always gives you your money’s worth if all you’re seeking is to bash the remaining life out of the walking dead, and that clearly has not changed at all here.

Remember that super creepy yet unbelievably realistic old man’s head Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream’s David Cage showed at PlayStation 4 event to share an example of how powerful the machine was? Many people said it looked that good because it was only one giant floating nightmare head, which may be true to a point. But now Quantic has taken it another step with a full tech demo of a game titled The Dark Sorcerer featuring that same creepy head (who turns out to be Braveheart and Ghandi star David Gant) with a body now attached to it and all sorts of other stuff going on.

Unfortunately it is just a tech demo; at first I was pretty excited it was an actual game (having missed the text at the beginning). Then things take a bit of a turn, and you’ll know exactly when that is when you watch the video below. It’s well worth your time, I assure you. [...]

Another gameplay demo presented for the first time at E3 2013 was for Batman: Arkham Origins, the prequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City.

The video shows just how big the map is, as you’ll navigate Gotham City on Christmas Eve while some of the deadliest assassins try to take you out in hopes of collecting the $50 million bounty put on your head by crime lord Black Mask.

The demo also touches on some of the various things you’ll be doing in the game, such as analyzing evidence and putting all of the pieces together or tracking down and disarming bombs that have been planted by Anarky.

A very intriguing brand new game was shown off at E3 2013 titled The Division.

The game comes from developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft, and brings together two very different gaming worlds: the open-world RPG and online multiplayer. The result is a massive city to explore as you like, while completing tasks with your friends.

It wouldn’t be E3 without a new Assassin’s Creed game, and now that Ubisoft appears to have learned not to linger too long in one time period, the games have grown more and more exciting.

One of the most popular new features of the last game,
Assassin’s Creed III, was by far the naval gameplay. Interest in the game ignited after that incredible naval gameplay demo was shared at last year’s E3, and Ubisoft is smartly capitalizing on that with Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. The new game will let us be something most people have dreamed of or pretended being as a kid: pirates!

Continue below to see the first gameplay demo for Assassin’s Creed 4. [...]

The next game from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream, Beyond: Two Souls, is definitely one of the most anticipated upcoming games. We got our first look at the game and its star, Ellen Page, at last year’s E3. Then came that incredible 35-minute gameplay demo, and that’s all you really needed to see.

E3 2013 brings with it another lengthy gameplay demo—this one slightly shorter at only 22 minutes—as well as a new trailer. The gameplay demo isn’t as good as the 35 minute one, but still very worth watching. And before you ask, no, I do not know why Ellen page is subtitled and little Salim is not.

The other big first-person shooter franchise being shown off at E3 2013, Call of Duty, also happens to be the undefeated king of the genre. Battlefield 3 tried to take a run at the crown when it came out—and many were convinced it would take COD out—but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 once again proved emphatically that the throne is still theirs to sit. Now Battlefield 4 is on the way, and it has Call of Duty: Ghosts in its sights.

It’s an interesting year for Call of Duty, as it’s Infinity Ward’s turn to take the wheel but they are not making the fourth installment in the Modern Warfare series as many expected. Instead it’s Ghosts, and a chance to try something new. Though judging by these new gameplay demos, it’s still the Call of Duty game you’d expect it to be. That said, they have brought in Oscar-winning filmmaker Stephen Gaghan to help with the story, so it could surprise some people in the end.

You can check out two new gameplay demos for Call of Duty: Ghosts below now, one of which shows how you can use your new canine companion, and the other shows some underwater action. [...]

Another impressive gameplay demo shown off at E3 was for Destiny, the next endeavor for Halo creators Bungie, which is a first-person shooter that also has multiplayer elements.

The game is set 700 years in the future after the Golden Age—an age of peace, prosperity, technological advancement, and exploration that saw humans spreading out and colonizing various planets in the Solar System—before an apocalyptic event known as the Collapse destroyed almost everything, ended the Golden Age, and left known survivors only on Earth, where a giant sphere known as the Traveler (seen above)—which gave humans the power to expand into space centuries earlier—protects them.

In Destiny you’ll play as a Guardian of the City who must investigate and neutralize hostile alien races who have taken over some of the former colonies humans had established and once occupied, and are on their way to the City, where the surviving human race is now living.

You can check out a new trailer for the game and a co-op gameplay demo below now. [...]

As expected, Dice and EA had plenty of new goodies to show off at E3 2013 for their next installment in the Battlefield franchise, Battlefield 4.

First came a brand new gameplay demo, and while it’s not as long as the first one we saw, it is every bit as intense. Ever seen an aircraft carrier split in half in the middle of the ocean? Dormant fighter jets and gravity used against your enemies? Buckle up. Then came the first multiplayer demo for the game, which shows off Commander mode.

Check out both Battlefield 4 demos below now. [...]

One of Ubisoft’s upcoming titles, Watch Dogs has been wowing gamers since its debut at last year’s E3 convention. The game was shown off a few months back at Sony’s big PlayStation 4 reveal event, and now again one year later at E3 2013 another gameplay demo has been presented…and again it’s incredible. Every single time.

This new demo shows off even more ways you can use the city environment to your advantage, and how it can help you (and your acquaintances) work your way out of trouble, both from enemies and the authorities.

Sony has released a brief video after laying the smacketh down on Microsoft at E3.

The video offers instructions on how to lend or borrow PlayStation 4 games with your friends and family, as compared with Microsoft’s plan to latch games to your profile, only let you give them to to someone permanently one time, and not lend or borrow them at launch.

To try and win back some of the fans who are angry about Xbox One, Microsoft was all about showing off some of the games that will be exclusive to their system at their E3 2013 presentation.

Perhaps the most exciting of them is a game called Ryse: Son of Rome from developer Crytek, who is the company behind the hit Crysis games. This new game follows a Roman general named Marius Titus, and in the first gameplay demo we see him leading his soldiers into an intense battle.

The game uses quick time events in combat, which could be met with mixed emotions, but overall it looks an exciting new game to keep an eye on. You can check out the gameplay demo for Ryse below. [...]

E3 is right around the corner, but some companies aren’t waiting around to show off the goods. The first trailer and gameplay demo for a brand new game from Hitman, Tomb Raider, and Deus Ex publisher Square Enix has been released, titled Murdered: Soul Suspect.

In the game, you play as a detective who has been killed and needs to use his new supernatural abilities to find out who murdered him. With games like Dishonored and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls, it’s become clear that supernatural abilities are so in right now.

Continue on below now to read a better description of the game, and to watch the first cinematic trailer and gameplay demo for Murdered: Soul Suspect. [...]

A long, long time ago in the year 1976 A.D., far before the internet and video blogging and Skype and Tout and Vine, a young gentleman named Steven Spielberg documented himself and some acquaintances (one of whom is The Godfather and Rocky actor Joe Spinell) watching the 48th annual Academy Awards nominations being announced.

See Spielberg had made a little film called JAWS, and the movie was up for a potential 11 nominations. You might think that a young up-and-comer such as he was would be overcome with excitement just to get one Oscar nomination, but, as we would all come to learn, this man is a different kind of animal than other directors. The video begins with Spielberg stating quite confidently that they expect the movie to score a clean sweep in all 11 categories, but things don’t quite go as planned.

Continue below now to check out the video of Spielberg and his…eccentric…friends reacting to the the 49th annual Academy Awards nominations. [...]

Author George R.R. Martin visited Conan last night to discuss the hit HBO show based on his books, Game of Thrones. While there, Conan O’Brien showed Martin a popular video going around that shows fans watching the shocking latest episode of the show, “The Rains of Castamere,” and their reactions to the madness that went down.
