Medal of Honor E3 Impressions
Thursday, June 17th, 2010

First off, I’d like to start these E3 Impressions by thanking the team at Electronic Arts for making me feel like a freagin’ king. They flew a group of 40+ gaming journalist in, paid for our taxis, food, and stay at one of the most fancy hotels in Marina Del Rey, The Ritz-Carlton, and did their best to let us know that ‘hey, we need you guys to help spread the word about the rebirth of Medal of Honor’. They let us know that the days of World War II are over, the ‘modern warfare’ is here and that it’s time to show everyone else how it is done. Ladies and Gents, Medal of Honor is back; EA LA and DICE are ready to blow your socks off with the newest MOH title and I have all the details you need to know about the series potential return to glory. I’ll do my best to answer all the questions that were sent my way so that you can decide which military shooter you’ll be giving your $60 this fall.

Nothing is more fun that a barrel of monkeys, no? That’s what they say anyway. That’s also what The Code Monkeys believed when they released Manic Monkey Mayhem. Originally a WiiWare title, the game was later ported to iPhone and PSP. Does it retain the same level of success on Sony’s platform?

Yes, the wait was worth it. It has been 9 years since Twisted Metal: Black and Sweet Tooth is back with plenty of mayhem and destruction.
