The show is over and so the PixlBit staff discusses the games that gave them the most thrills this year.
This year was a bit thinner than what we were expecting, especially with Nintendo supposedly pulling back the curtain on the Wii U. But while we were left a bit underwhelmed and with more questions than answers there were still plenty of games on display to get us excited for something.
How long can you survive?
Ubisoft is showing up big on the Wii U. With eight different titles either being ported to, or developed specifically for the system, the publisher has laid down a heavy bet on Nintendo’s next console’s success. With so many titles being produced, you’d be forgiven if you thought that perhaps games were being rushed and that not anything terribly unique would be delivered, but one title in their arsenal, ZombiU, seeks to prove you wrong.
Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed III and more impressed.
Ubisoft's E3 2012 press conference showcased many games and although there weren't too many new games announced, what was shown was impressive. Trailers for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, ZombiU, and Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth were shown and a video quickly announcing Rabbids Land, Your Shape (an exercise title), and Sports Connection (a collection of mini-games) all for the Wii U was also shown.
Sounds thrilling.
After a tongue-in-cheek teaser for a zombie game during yesterday's Nintendo Direct presentation, Ubisoft formally announced "ZombieU" today at E3. The Wii U exclusive will set players in a zombie outbreak on the streets of modern day London as thousands are ravaged by a deadly virus. The first person shooter integrates interactive elements, GamePad controls, multiplayer, and more.
