E3 2017

A quick overview of some new titles to look out for in the 2017/18 year

For those that aren't aware, E3 is possibly the biggest once a year convention for the gaming industry. New games are announced from the major companies, new game engines are shown, and new hardware or consoles can be shown for the first time to audiences. Essentially, it's a gamers information Christmas. However, with the massive hype-machine that can come charging through the crowds, there's also a plethora of flops that either don't sit well with consumers or just fail outright. Here is a quick go-over as to what we have to expect in the coming gaming year, and what we can avoid.

Nintendo came out swinging hard this year with an unveiling of mostly software titles. 2 new games from the Metroid series will be making their way to stores at undetermined dates (one for the Switch, the other for the 3DS). This mean that Nintendo's big Heroine hero Samus will be making a much-demanded comeback. A mainline Pokémon game was also mentioned for the Switch, but serious details were withheld for now. In the meantime, Nintendo's beloved mascot Mario appeared in his next big title release Super Mario Odyssey, which has officially been slated for an October 27th release on the Switch. Fan-favorite game Rocket League was also confirmed to be making its way to the Switch around time for the holidays. And finally, Nintendo's big Switch launch title The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild was confirmed to have 2 upcoming DLC releases. An impressive line-up for Nintendo, but chastised as it showed the company releasing more titles for the 2018 time scale rather than this year, which irritated some consumers and critics.


Sony took the stage next and brought out an equally impressive lineup. Starting off with an absolutely gorgeous gameplay trailer for the PS4's new Spider-Man title, the webslinger came in and soured through the New York skyline, zipping through construction zones and wrapping up thugs as he chased after a helicopter causing havoc on the street bound populace. Sony also showed more information and trailers for the next God Of War installment, which pits Kratos against the savage and powerful gods of Norse Mythology. The newest Call of Duty title also saw a multiplayer trailer, and is thankfully taking place during WWII rather than a farther future landscape like fans feared. Sony also unveiled a list of Virtual Reality titles, but didn't offer to lower the price of VR headsets. So, we'll see how that goes for them.


And finally, in no particular order (or grouping), here's a quick run down of other big titles looking for a 2017/18 release:

Far Cry 5 (with 2 NEW trailers)

Assassains Creed: Origins (Pyramid surfing in Egypt, ya'll!)

Wolfenstein II releasing October 27 (it's a good year to go back to hating Nazis)

Crackdown 3 is Xbox One exclusive, featured Terry Crews in a trailer, and releases November 7th

But most importantly:


WE. GOT. A. NEW. TRAILER. FOR. KINGDOM. FRIGGEN. HEARTS. 3!!!

More info on that SPECIFIC, LONG AWAITED, ANTICIPATED title has yet to release, but Square Enix and Disney have both said there would be another trailer and a world reveal at D3 Expo in July.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
