[E3 2012 – FarCry 3] Tigers and Titties
This ain’t safe for work. When the first big reveal trailer for this game today was dubbed ‘Step into Insanity’, Ubisoft wasn’t kidding. This shit occasionally gets wild. Hit the jump for the gameplay footage from today. Naw, I don’t know what’s happening in most of this vid either, but it’s gorgeous.

[E3 2012 – Halo 4] Campaign and Multiplayer
MS opened up their media briefing and all of E3 with this vid, the first look at the Halo 4 campaign. Feels like more than just a little nod to Metroid Prime, aesthetically.
Hit the jump for the vid, and links to more vids, including B-Roll campaign footage and some multiplayer from the new Spartan Ops mode.
[E3 2012 – Rayman Legends] Wii-U Brilliance
How gorgeous is this shit? Just watch the vid. No word if this is exclusive to the Wii-U yet, but damn if the touch mechanic doesn’t look fun to play with.

Rumor: Valve is really making a CONSOLE? Dear lord, my wallet.
Here’s a bananas one. There’s mutterings picking up about a Valve console. Yeah, brah. Completionists like me are eyeballing another console they have to buy or the voices in their head will tell mother about the sticky furred stuffed animals behind the couch. Wait, what? Anyways, it may be real. But it won’t be like a console as generally thought.
Press Start!: It’s E3. Gimmicky Controllers, TVs, and Franchises.
Press Start!, the week of E3. There was a time when E3 was a wondrous occasion. Those days are gone now, like leaves from a tree. With the advent of the Internet, everything is known weeks prior. Secrets exposed, dissected. Shit is passé before it’s even revealed. Take for example Nintendo’s Wii U. While I’ll admit that seeing any new console in motion gets me up, it would have truly blown my asshole out if they could have kept the entirety of it secret until the conference.
With that in mind, let us not spend the entirety of our fleeting brain-focus-capacities on regurgitating the quasi-reveals and appreciable moments of the Big Three at the show. Let us instead turn our ADD-addled brains towards shooting the shit about the show. Deal? Press Start!’s usual conceit is pressed pause in lieu of some geek spit.
Nintendo Stock Drops After ‘Wii U’ Reveal.
Despite dropping the ‘Wii U’ on the very expecting asses of the gaming public, worst secret ever, Nintendo’s stock has been dropping this week. I don’t see why! Revealing a console with no first-party games, a gimmicky tablet controller, and footage of third-party games culled from footage from the other systems is a recipie for rock! Not!
More Pictures Of The ‘Wii U’ Controller. Tabletized!
Here’s some more looks at the Wii U controller, which is all sorts of bananas. While I wasn’t totally down with the Nintendo conference since you know, they showed no fucking games, the controller itself is super swank time. To me at least.

NGP Officially Titled ‘PlayStation Vita’, Will Cost $250.
Do you use handheld video game wunder-devices? I don’t. But the next Sony handheld is tempting me. It’s powerful like a sumbitch, it’s going to feature fucking Uncharted and BioShock titles, and it’s not going to cost very much at all. Tempting. So tempting.
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’ E3 Trailer Proves Ezio Ages Like A Boss.
I’ve only played Assassin’s Creed II. Didn’t play the original, heard it was ass. Loved the sequel. Brotherhood came out in the teeth of the gaming schedule, and I couldn’t afford it. Since then, I’ve been staring at it used on Amazon for $30, with everyone telling me “AC: Brotherhood is like the second one, but better in every way.”
I need it, and I especially need it after watching this trailer for the conclusion to Ezio’s tale.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
