YOU WERE RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG: BRONN is spelled with a double n. It's been a while since I've seen all these names in print! That said, my main point of contention with earlier season 7 episodes continues to problematically rear its head: ...   read

Last week, we left Game of Thrones feeling the episode was "effective and satisfying." Well, HBO heard our applause and answered the call for an encore, delivering us The Spoils of War, which at 50 minutes in running time was short  an...   read

George RR Martin's sprawling "seven" book fantasy series has long been known as A Song of Fire and Ice and tonight's episode played homage by finally 'bringing fire and ice together' and acknowledging as much through dialogue by red pr...   read

HBO has been running its mouth all week about how big its Game of Thrones season 7 premiere was. How big? Well, I'll have to show you? *Unzips notes* 16.1 million viewers watched the premiere, night of, through live outlets and recorded opt...   read

Once again the Destructoid community has decided. We polled all of you at the close of every conference (there were seven this year!), and you voted based on your gut. Now is the time to take a look at the results. The two "most hated" conf...   read

Did Nintendo do it, along with Ubisoft? Did it 'co-win' (not that it's necessarily possible) E3? We'll see when the poll dust settles later today and we report back tomorrow with our findings. In the meantime, I'm leaning toward giving it t...   read

Guys, as our own Jordan Devore put it -- "how is Ubisoft winning E3 so far?"! Sony had some great stuff for us tonight. We got Monster Hunter World, but that's also coming to PC and Xbox One. We got a lot of old footage, vague confirmations...   read

What do you do when you need to inject your conference with more joy? Call Nintendo. Ubisoft led their show today with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and it kind of set the tone. From there we got more footage of known stuff like...   read

Real talk -- PC Gaming Show is one of my favorite conferences to cover because it's so low key and filled with ads disguised as discussions that I'm able to get some breathing room between announcements. Speaking of ads, an Intel exec got u...   read

That was quick! Bethesda's Pete Hines came out on stage, said "here's some stuff we have," they showed that stuff with a giant clip reel, and he stepped off in roughly 35 minutes. It was like a giant Nintendo Direct that people had to go to...   read

Well, it didn't have its own Final Fantasy VII Remake moment, but I for one enjoyed Microsoft's game-filled E3 conference this year. Microsoft did what it needed to do after touting the Kinect and the "all-in-one entertainment sys...   read

So, this year's EA conference wasn't filled with as much cringe as we're used to. We got at least one soulless trailer in Need for Speed Payback amidst an underwhelming presentation, but nothing quite on the level of "Hoop Gawd" s...   read

Well uh, that went longer than expected. Although not a whole lot wowed me outside of the Zelda stuff, we got what we really wanted with the Nintendo Switch presentation -- a price, and a date. So much isn't actually coming until later...   read

I was sitting in my basement watching Green Room for the first time (real good flick), and my alarm went off. Uh, PSX is starting! I considered not jumping on, but ultimately my curiosity gave in and I'm glad I did. Because uh, there's a lo...   read

This year it isn't even close. You, as in the collective beautiful Destructoid community, voted for Sony as the top E3 2016 conference. Let's take a look at the results and get the bad stuff out of the way first. You hated EA's conference t...   read

Once again Sony put on a great E3 show. I don't think it topped last year with the handful of emotional announcements, but they did well. We got a look at PlayStation VR, but it wasn't too in your face. The Vita seems to be dead. Spider-Man...   read

Ubisoft kind of does the same thing at E3 every year. It has a ho-hum conference with some lame jokes, shows footage of games we've seen before, and then saves a decent reveal for the end. I don't know if I "enjoyed" this conference with it...   read

So uh, PC Gaming Show everybody!It wasn't nearly as cringeworthy as last year, but man there were so many dud parts. Having the host state that he wants to "buy every game" is weird for starters. Watching old trailers we've already seen was...   read

I think Microsoft did a pretty good job today at E3!Whereas they normally sluggishly move on games in favor of entertainment, this presentation had two new console announcements that heavily favored the gaming element of the business, as we...   read

Kadokawa has been around a long time (1945), and has published a number of properties, including the Cowboy Bebop manga (among many others), as well as games like Lollipop Chainsaw (in Japan). It also owns several studios, like Souls c...   read

Bethesda just wrapped up their E3 2016 conference, and really, it was pretty decent! Outside of some underwhelming looking Fallout 4 DLC (all of the add-ons so far have been, really), they had a number of welcome announcements. They ki...   read

So uh, EA!They told us a lot of stuff that we already knew, sort of kicking off E3 in a dull drip-fed way. We got Titanfall 2 footage, which, while cool-looking, isn't really substantial. The same goes for Mass Effect Andromeda's ...   read

Well, Square Enix, you did it. We thought that talking to Pelé for 10 minutes was bad during EA's conference, but there were more awkward moments than I could count with your E3 2015 presser today. Missed cues, microphone issues...   read

Nintendo's conference today started with a bang with puppets and Star Fox Zero for Wii U, and kind of went more low key from there. There were a lot of cool localization and date announcements, but really, it was mostly just a string o...   read

So, Yu Suzuki was teasing something Shenmue related! Ha! How about the rest of the conference, right? That Final Fantasy VII remake we've been waiting years for? A 2016 date for The Last Guardian? While there were some stinker rev...   read
