Even after being butchered by compression and frame rate changes, you can see that this launch day (November 22) racer is going to look good. If you haven’t seen it in person yet, you’ll just have to take my word for it that this Alps course looks amazing in 1080p, running at 60fps....

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro Amis none of the following things: – Funny – Even remotely worth your time and/or money Itis, however, veryinteresting. Not interesting in its badness, likeThe Graveyard, or interesting for a few fantastic design flaws amidst a flood of horrendous ones, likeMirror’s Edge.

Few exclusives, but lots of games The first big, big, big E3 2017 press conference has come and gone. I’m choosing not to count EA because I’ve already forgottenwhat was there. Something about aMaddenstory mode andBattlefront IIlooking like howBattlefrontshould’ve in the first place.

On the other hand this is probably thebestMicrosoft E3 conference in my six plus years at Destructoid!...
