Game trailers are one of the most effective marketing tools for developers, since just a few minutes worth of video can drive hype and excitement to overflowing levels within the gaming community. Throughout this year, gamers have been entertained by some of the most impressive trailers ever relea

Fable 3 is without question one of the biggest and most anticipated releases of the year. After spending a week with the game I can say with certainty that it’s worth the price of admission, but it’s not perfect. Developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studio, Fable 3 takes the franchise in a more accessible direction, opening up the world of RPG games to anyone who cares to pick up a control

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

Fable Heroes feels like a cash grab in the truest sense of the word — a game that has no business carrying the Fable moniker. While each entry in the franchise does fall short of some lofty expectations , they at least aspire to do something original. Fable Heroes , on the other hand, gets a few things right, but they’re not worth your t

Just looking at the game on a strictly technical level makes it abundantly clear that this is not the Fable fans will be expecting. Much of the interesting design that Lionhead has established has been made more palatable and also less visually appealing. In plainer terms, since that’s what the game was shooting for, the project looks too “kiddy.” But even that would have been understandable if the game had decent collision detection or didn’t constantly suffer from frame-rate probl

After traveling through the Bloodstone Demon Door, Fable 2 players are transported to a peaceful, snowy path in the woods. If they follow the path, which looks like something from a Christmas painting, they eventually come to a cozy lodge nestled deep among the trees. Upon entering the lodge, things take a turn for the weird. A piercing music note signals the lodge turning into a dilapidated version of itself, complete with a skeleton lying on the kitchen ta

Sledgehammer Adventure Games Mounts has already revealed the single player portion of Call of Duty: WW2 , and so far the game has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response. However, the bread and butter of the Call of Duty franchise has almost always been its multiplayer, and so all eyes will be on Call of Duty: WW2 at E3 to see if the multiplayer can generate as much excitement as the single player campa

It’s hard not to take families with younger children into consideration when reviewing Fable Heroes , but even they deserve something a little better than this. There are hints of complexity that suggest the game is for an older audience, while the look and gameplay make it seem like a broad, kid-friendly title that carries the Fable name. Unfortunately, in service of trying to win over the most gamers (or even non-gamers) possible, Lionhead may lose every

The Legend of Zelda franchise is full of scary stuff, but one of the scariest moments out of all the Zelda games is visiting Ocarina of Time ‘s Shadow Temple. The Shadow Temple, accessible from a haunted graveyard, is full of disturbing zombie-like creatures like ReDeads and a slew of deadly traps. There’s also evidence that the Shadow Temple was once used as as a prison of some sort, where the prisoners were subjected to tort

Getting together with three other friends makes playing Fable Heroes feel less empty, but after one or two levels you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that was having fun. It should be mentioned that the game deals with death in a pretty clever way — players can still help defeat enemies in a ghostly form, but they cannot collect coins — but dying will not be too much of a worry, even on the harder difficulties. Hopping online, on the other hand, devolves into running around trying to snipe coins, rather than actually worrying about killing anyth

Capcom had a presence at E3, most notably revealing Monster Hunter World , but one of the company’s biggest franchises, Resident Evil , wasn’t given any love at the show. Capcom didn’t pull the curtain back on Resident Evil 7 ‘s Not A Hero DLC as some expected, and it also failed to unveil the Resident Evil 2 remake, a game that fans have been waiting to see for years now. The Resident Evil 2 remake has been in the works for a couple of years, so a trailer or something official seems like it could come any day, even though it skipped E3 this y

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
