"E3 2009 may be long gone at this point, but there are obviously still games that people are talking about. This isn't a list of those games. E3 isn't all about big announcements for even bigger games - it's about the industry as a whole, both "big" and "little" games alike. Unfortunately, every year, a handful of really great games, with a lot of potential get swallowed up in the media storm that surrounds the "Halo"'s, the "Mario"'s, and the "anything-with-Snake-in-it"'s. This list is here to make sure you don't forget the little games; you know the ones that might not make too many Top 10 lists, (I hear there's only a certain number of spots on those) and hopefully don't get picked over when their release date comes along. These are the Top 10 Underdogs of E3 2009 (or the best of what you didn't see)..."
Nintendo Switch 2 code name, a massive Pokémon leak, Concord’s revival, and FOMO in collecting.
This week on the Game Deflators podcast, John and Ryan kick off the episode with a discussion about FOMO in game collecting and how it drives collectors to acquire new items they think they need. The guys discuss their own experiences and how they try to manage this urge to make more mindful collecting decisions.
Next, John and Ryan cover the latest updates on Concord, PlayStation’s live service that was recently pulled from sale. They’ll talk about the recent updates still happening on Steam and what they could mean for the game’s future. Additionally, the guys break down the recent Pokémon leaks, including leaked source codes, unused designs, and plans for upcoming titles.
Top cap off the episode, the Game Deflators discuss their experience with Fairytale Fights for the PS3. A gimmicky title with more blood and gore than you could imagine from little red riding hood; but is it still worth trying?
Cave Story+ is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until September 7 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "I really enjoyed my time with A Boy and His Blob. I definitely understand now why this adorable little game won the hearts of so many. It might not being the most challenging game on the market, but it’s still a lot of fun. The levels are all very brief, which makes it an ideal game for the Switch. It’s the perfect game to pick up and play on-the-go."
Thats a good looking list there - proof that there's so many good games at E3
hooray for the little guys!
