Star Trek has a new video game to add to the plethora of them out in the world. This one is based in the universe made by J.J. Abrams, and just like they rekindled fan excitement in the movie world for Star Trek it looks like it may do that in the video world as well. This game is a third person shooter placed between the first movie and second movie coming out next year. In the game you play asynchronously as either Captain James T. Kirk or Spock (or both in Co-op mode).

Nintendo Press Conference 6/5/12

/
Nintendo came locked and loaded to show off an array of new Wii U titles, as well as a few 3DS titles, for gamers everywhere.  I will admit, last year, I was weary of the Wii U and the Wii U gamepad.  Well, after getting to go to the press conference, I am now extremely excited about the Wii U and the new options the Wii U gamepad gives gamers everywhere.  Below you will find a list of some of the games that Nintendo showcased at their conference and a couple of bullet points for each title... Oh, and Zombi U looks awesome and my inner child totally wants to play Lego City Undercover.  Good job Nintendo, you now have me excited about the Wii U and looking forward to check them out on the E3 floor this week.

E3 - Press Conference Viewings

E3 is a little under 2 weeks away at this point, and with it comes a number of press conferences from the leaders in the video game industry. Too bad many of us (yours truly included) don't get to actually attend these conferences.  So how will we watch them instead? Well many companies will either live stream the conference themselves or have partnered with a cable channel to do it (such as G4 or Spike TV).  As I find / get links for the streams I will place them in this post, which will be moved to the top of the site each time I update it.

Colorado Cutthroat Tournament - Pre Denver Comic Con

/

Over the weekend Colorado Cutthroat has put on a tournament at the Microsoft store in the Park Meadows mall as a pre-game celebration for Denver Comic Con. Unfortunately I was unable to stay for the whole tournament, but that did not stop me from taking a few pictures. The games that they had in tournament form were Soul Calibur V, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Tekken X Street Fighter.  The play area had the primary tournament was on the big screen in the store and they had several other game stations set up for people not in the tournament to play. Based on how this was setup, we have a lot to look forward to at their Denver Comic Con showing.
