E3 2014: Top games of show and final thoughts
After what has proven to be a very busy week, the team talked about the games that we felt were misses (or just plain missing) during E3 2014. However, all was not lost as there were some genuinely interesting things to come out of the show as well. Here are some of our favorite takeaways from E3 this year.
E3 2014: The Disappointments
A lot of time and effort goes into every year's E3, and many of the reveals and updates are received in different ways from different gamers. A game that may excite one player could cause another's eyes to roll. Sometimes what matters most to someone is not what is shown, but what game or property failed to make an appearance. Here the team talks about the worst of the show, no no-shows.
All things E3 2014
We have been posting a fair number of articles this week at Chalgyr's Game Room pertaining to E3. Well, we wanted to put it all together in a single page where you could find it below.

E3 2014: The games of Tuesday
E3 kicked off with some really large conferences that let Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo state their cases for each of their gaming platforms. These often serve as sort of an overview of where each of the big three is headed, but also teases a lot of games. When that is all said and done though, it is time to take a look at the games themselves in more detail.
E3 2014: Nintendo's Presentation
Give credit where credit is due, Nintendo decided to do their own thing this year for E3 and it was more hit than miss. A fully prepared digital show that was played at a specific time, instead of relying on awkwardly delivered rehearsed lines while praying to the video game gods that nothing goes wrong during a live demo. Now there is something to be said for seeing things live, being able to stumble onto those warts when they come up as well, but by and large Nintendo did not hurt themselves yesterday by doing something a little different. After all, in the end - it is all about the games, and they had some to show off.
E3 2014: Quick Day One Impressions
There was a lot to take in yesterday, with big conferences held by Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony, and thankfully there were at least a handful of surprises. That was a nice turn of events in and of itself, given how the abundance of media coverage on gaming the last few years has almost completely sapped the E3 conference of actual new information.
E3 2014 and why 'Trust' is the key this year
Last year saw a different kind of E3 than gamers were used to. For starters, there were almost no genuine surprises in this day and age of instant media saturation. On top of that, Microsoft and Sony came ready to take center stage with their hardware while Nintendo opted to sit on the sidelines and find a different way to try and connect with their fans. A lot of strong feelings emerged from that show, but I think a new kind of theme is going to be key during 2014's E3 conference.
Trust.
Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony and other publishers will need to show gamers that they can be trusted this year, which will prove more important than ever as they fight for our dollar.
