The Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, has been more exciting than Christmas for gamers for years. Although the event itself lasts three days, most people tune in early for the press conferences and presentations by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, plus other third-party publishers like Ubisoft and EA, that go on through the week.

When I pulled my phone out during a slow moment at work to check Twitter and saw a tweet from Greg Miller thanking Colin Moriarty for all that he’s done for Kinda Funny and talking about what he will do next, I thought it was a joke.

Video games have become infinitely more complicated since their original conception. Just one of those innovations has been the “open world,” or the idea that the player has complete agency to do whatever they like in a large sandbox map. Even the most casual gamer will probably notice the trend of open world games in the last decade or so. Ever since “Grand Theft Auto III,” developers slowly started incorporating this sort of freedom into their games. In theory, open-world maps seem like the epitome of how the modern generation plays games: with complete and utter control to play however they like. However, in reality, sandbox style maps and overt player freedom can disrupt the gameplay experience.

Last summer, Marvel Entertainment announced a new directive focused on video games at the 2016 E3 Conference. The plan for Marvel going forward is to license their characters only to well-known and critically successful developers. This initiative was revealed concurrently with a new Spider-Man game made exclusively for PlayStation 4 by Insomniac Games (one has to assume that Sony still holds an influence over the character’s rights). Although the trailer was brief and had little gameplay, the difference in quality compared to previous Marvel games is apparent even without knowing Insomniac’s pedigree.

If you go on your PS4 or Xbox One right now, you are able to buy everything from the latest "Call of Duty" to an obscure indie platformer and even a game with a gameplay loop that consists solely of poking a jar of mayonnaise. The breadth of games available from expensive to cheap, complex to simple and quality to garbage is larger than it’s ever been. But is it growing too large for its own good?

With the new year comes new classes, new professors and a heightened awareness of just how fast time is passing and how old we are all getting (The third "Pirates of the Caribbean" and third "Spider-Man" are both turning 10 this year. The THIRD.) But the new year also means new movies, shows, games and albums to look forward to, and while the likelihood of you actually staying in the gym for more than a week after the new year is low, the odds of you sitting down to enjoy some Netflix is significantly higher. Here are a few of the releases you can look forward to in 2017.

With the recent announcement of “Red Dead Redemption 2” by Rockstar Games earlier this week, it has got me thinking about how video games should be announced and marketed. Rockstar had very little trouble getting the gaming-sphere excited just by tweeting two textless images (over 420K likes combined) before the announcement of a reveal trailer. At the time of writing, all we know is that “RDR2” is due for a fFall 2017 release, but I argue that that is more than enough time to promote the game.

Modern video game culture is built on hype. At any given moment in the comment section of a gaming site, there are people talking about being excited for an upcoming game, talking about how great the game they are playing is or, commonly, talking about how a game was a let-down and didn’t live up to their expectations.

“Gone Home” is a game that certainly isn’t for everyone. Its focus on storytelling over gameplay and its short length may turn some away, but those who find themselves lost in the game’s story will be in for a fantastic experience.

Fourteen years after the release of the original game, the new “Ratchet and Clank” PS4 reboot proves that PS2-era platformers still have a place in modern gaming through sharp game-play, clever writing and beautiful graphics.
