Not content with just the trailer of the game that they showed at E3 for inFAMOUS: Second Son?  Well here’s six minutes of actual gameplay straight from the event.  The game’s new protagonist has the ability to absorb the powers of other super-powered individuals, and in the beginning of the game he finds himself with the power to control smoke.

Take a look at those physics!  I can’t think of any better way to show off the power of the PS4.

inFAMOUS: Second Son is coming Q1 2014 exclusive to the Playstation 4.

For those of you who missed Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, you missed one hell of an awesome demo for Dead Rising 3.  The third game in the Dead Rising series, the newest game features an entirely new main character and takes place in a city heavily inspired by the urban environments of Southern California.  After seeing this demo, all I could think of was it was like GTA: San Andreas…but with Zombies!

So what can you do in this game, and how does it take advantage of the features the Xbox One offers, like SmartGlass?  Take a look for yourselves at this eight minute demonstration.

Dead Rising 3 is coming November 2013 exclusive to the Xbox One.  It is currently expected to be a launch title.

No game impressed me for the Xbox One more than Remedy’s Quantum Break.  Made by the same company behind Alan Wake and Max Payne, Quantum Break’s E3 2013 trailer looked so good many believed there was no chance it could have been in-engine.  Well, Remedy has released a new behind the scenes video which shows the making of their game.  The video features interviews with creative director Sam Lake (the face of Max Payne) and other Remedy developers.

If you didn’t believe the E3 trailer was real-time, there’s some footage in it showing just how they were able to make such realistic characters in the game!

Just looking at them discuss the game’s interwoven story is mind-boggling!  This looks to be Remedy’s greatest game yet!

Quantum Break is coming exclusive to the Xbox One.

I know it’s not Tuesday, which is when we do our usual weekly unboxings, but I think we can make a special exception in this case.  Maniac unboxes The Last of Us Survival Edition for the PS3, which includes a full sized art book, steelbook case for the game, DLC and more.  Is it worth the $80 US?

The Last of Us is out now exclusive to the PS3.

Many gamers have waited years for any news on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, even those who had no interest in playing Final Fantasy XIII.  But year after year, the game continued to be pushed back, and many worried that the project was dead or simply in development limbo.  Well, that period of worry is now over.  Square Enix has just announced at this year’s Sony E3 Press Conference that the game is back in a big way.  It’s got a new title and a new set of platforms, but its back, and it’s called Final Fantasy XV!

Final Fantasy XV is coming to the Xbox One and PS4.

The Last of Us is coming out at the end of this week but Sony saw fit to premiere this Launch Trailer at their E3 Press Event last night.  Seriously, this game is looking to achieve Game of the Year status by many critics already, and will likely become a huge seller for the Playstation 3.

If you’re interested in seeing a little bit more of the game before it is released, Princess Angel and I did a let’s play of a small section of the game last week.  You can watch it here.

The Last of Us is coming June 14th, 2013 exclusive to the Playstation 3.

The sequel to the 3DS classic Super Mario 3D Land has just been announced for the Wii U, and it is called Super Mario 3D World.  Now Mario and three other players, each with their own unique abilities, can join together and explore an entirely new 3D world.  There are a lot of familiar enemies, and the platforming looks amazing.

But that’s not all, the game will add an entirely new powerup in the form of Cat Mario.  This power will give Mario the ability to run faster, climb walls, and charge enemies head-on!

Super Mario 3D World is coming exclusive to the Wii U.  A playable version of the game will be available at Best Buy stores across the country Wednesday and Saturday.  Check Best Buy Events for all the details.
