Well, there ya go! E3 came and went in an eye blink. All the build-up, all the hype, all the news, but did it deliver? Well yeah, it pretty much did.

Around the Web

A busy week for us here at GamEir, as you can imagine. Our little team typed til our fingers bled in order to get all those wonderful articles out there. But while we covered as much as we could, there were a few things we overlooked, such as…

Lego The Incredibles was announced! This past Friday, 15th June saw every-bodies favourite crime-fighting family get their own Lego game. Developed by TT Games, and based upon The Incredibles 1 and 2 movies, it’s now available for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown got an expanded E3 trailer. All you flyboys out there can expect a release this year, with no exact date, on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Fire up those afterburners, and blow shit up!

Story driven RPG Greedfall was announced along with a new trailer. The game, currently in development for PS4 exclusively, takes place in a 17th Century style fantasy world, where grim reality mixes with monsters and magic.

Fifa 19 had two big announcements this week. One: The Uefa Champions League will feature fully in game, along with the iconic theme tune. Two: In a tactical change-up, the “Park the Bus” tactic will not be available in this new iteration, so no more defending your one nil lead with six at the back, you mugs.

ARK: Survival Evolved got a release on mobile. Available now, for free, the crafting, dinosaur taming, survival sim can be got from the App Store or Google Play for free. FREE!

Strange Brigade was playable at E3, and sounds like a boot load of fun. Set in the 30s, play as a secret team of heroes, determined to defend Britain from all sorts of monsters, curses and supernatural threats. Think Indiana Jones meets Tomb Raider meets Left 4 Dead. Check out the video for some developer play-through time… sublime!

And that’s all from me for another week. We laughed, we cried, we watched, we wrote, we played. Just an average week here at GamEir. I commend anyone still reading this by the way. I stopped ten paragraphs back. Til next time!!
