E3 2018 FIFA 19 Reimagines Pulling the Trigger with an Advanced Shooting System
A speculative effort
EA Sports has a reputation for releasing annual FIFA titles with the slightest of adjustments over the previous year’s version.

Critical stunner
Dead or Alive 6 appeared out of nowhere earlier in the week, and now IGN's pumped out ten whole minutes of gameplay footage. You can catch it above. Overall, the game's looking pretty darn slick.

Taking the Mickey
Fans have been waiting for Kingdom Hearts III for a very long time, and over the last year or so, a 2018 release date has been a shining beacon of hope.

E3 2018 BioWare Intends to Return to Mass Effect in the Future
Dragon Age prototyping taking place
ANTHEM, with the greatest of respect, does not look like a BioWare game. Well, not in the traditional sense, anyway. Many fans are wondering what the future holds for Mass Effect, then.

A full recap of Electronic Arts' show
What did EA announce at its E3 2018 press conference, then? Well, despite having a rather lengthy running time, the latest EA Play 2018 event was surprisingly short on software reveals and showcases.
