At E3 2018, I got the chance to briefly grill game designer Matt Scronce and senior producer Yale Miller for some answers regarding Blackout, and what exactly Treyarch is aiming for with this ambitious entry into a highly competitive genre with this year's edition of Call of Duty Black Ops IIII.

Last week, we skipped out on a Friday debate because we were still incredibly busy with E3 coverage, so I suppose it’s time to ruminate on this year’s show. Overall, I thought it was a little lacklustre, but that’s to be expected as we come into the tail end of a generation. That said did anything tickle you?

A darker story, an emphasis on fun over balance and an honest effort to get players reinvested in the hobby of Destiny, Bungie is going for broke with its most ambitious slice of content yet in Destiny 2:Forsaken. While there’s still a lot that needs t be revealed and explored once it launches, design lead Lars Bakken still had plenty to tell me at E3 last week about the massive changes on the horizon.

Lara Croft's new adventure might not feature a whole lot different with its gameplay formula, but its focus on Lara as a destructive figure are incredibly intriguing.

With a name that doesn’t quite roll of the tongue, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is that game, and it’s one of the most intriguing games I got to play at E3 this year. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humans (or at least, humans as we know them) have been wiped out, replaced with mutants and robots. Cities lie abandoned, streets, building and bridges crumbled from years of disrepair, and nature’s started reclaiming the surface, leaving it an overgrown nest of roots and vines intertwining with decrepit and dilapidated remnants of shacks and houses.

The Smach Z is an incredibly ambitious handheld PC that aims to bring Switch-like on-the-go gaming to those who favour PC gaming.

Fantasy, action and straight-up weirdness was seen last week, leaving us tickled pink with games that we got to experience in Los Angeles. Here’s a look at the fifteen games, that have us excited for the future of the finest form of interactive entertainment that money can buy.

Earthfall knows exactly what kind of game it wants to be, and it’s absolutely confident in its construction and approach to a genre that has been well overdue for a resurrection.
