Platformers? Love ’em. You can’t make enough. Platformers of any type appeal to the gamer in me. But upcoming PS Vita gameSound Shapesalso speaks to the musician in me. It’s slick platformingandmusical creation. You can create music that actually becomes the levels that you platform in. After spending a bit of time trying both sides of this game out and then seeing how they come together, it has moved up to be one of my most anticipated titles....

The franchise has been shorthanded in previous years Two years ago, EA Sports shippedNHL 15— the first “next-gen” installment in the perennially fantasticNHLfranchise — in bare bones condition. It was a glaring misstep, and the developer has spent years trying to right the ship.NHL 16got the series to where it felt like it should’ve been the year prior;NHL 17feels like it might be caught up. At EA’s Sunday-before-E3 event, we had a chance to go hands-on withNHL 17and to have a lengthy talk with lead producer Sean Ramjagsingh....

For most of us that have an Xbox 360 (that works), we love it. In fact, I’d say for most gamers nowadays in the North America regions, the 360 has more or less become the next-gen console of choice — maybe mostly due to the fact that both Nintendo and Sony haven’t caught up software wise in this new generation.

As of today new outfits are in tow (which are roughly 300 coins), clearly inspired by the likes of Brock and Misty from thePokemonanime without actually coming out and saying it. It’s a really strange in-between, this game. Sure you’re able to have the full Pokemon designs and there was even a video with theGo-professor and Oak hanging out (kinda); but there’s this unspoken understanding that Game Freak and Nintendo’s works are separate....
