Is Dark Souls The New Benchmark for Gaming? Gaming has always had its benchmark titles; those games that stand out head and shoulders above the rest, those that set the trends other studios work towards or try to best. These seminal titles are considered to be the benchmarks of which other games, and sequels, are judged; particularly within specific genres. Every so often, with increasing rarity in an industry which relies heavily on sequels and franchises, a game comes along and sets a new benchmark. For the best part of the last decade, the Grand Theft Auto series have been those titles, spawning countless clones and rivals to the throne. Prior to GTA3 on the PS2, the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games had been the standout titles. Thinking even further back, platforming Gods Mario and Sonic were the superstars of countless iterations of their games. During the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, the generation which is currently coming towards a close, gamers witnessed the rise of the formidable first-person shooter with super heavyweights

E3 is over for another year and it’s given gamers plenty to look forward to for the rest of the year and beyond. As is obligatory following any E3 coverage, here are my Top 5 Games from E3 – this is my personal selection of games that have me the most excited moving forward.   Sunset Overdrive I have a love/hate relationship with my XBox One. On one hand I love Titanfall – it refreshed competitive multiplayer gaming for me at a time it was desperately stagnant. On the other hand, there’s a desperate lack of games for the XBox One. The PS4 has a steady flow of indie titles alongside multi platform games that perform better on the PS4 than the XBox One. Sunset Overdrive gives me a great deal of hope though – it looks fast, action-packed, beautifully bright, full of personality and gives me a genuine reason to boot up my XBox One again. The trailer for the game is also very clever and witty. Sunset Overdrive looks great

Welcome to E3 The moment that gamers have been waiting for is now – E3 is finally here and has kicked off in spectacular fashion. There are a huge amount of announcements, trailers and updates from the first day and there’s no doubt that there will be more, so here is everything in a quick link-heavy E3 Day 1 Rundown. Microsoft Conference Microsoft kicked off E3 with a gamer-focused conference. First of all we had gameplay footage of a campaign mission from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and the news that Call of Duty DLC will still be a timed exclusive on XBox platforms. Microsoft talked a lot about Halo, officially announcing Halo: The Master Chief Collection containing the original games, remastered and will run at 60 fps in full 1080p, with dedicated online servers. The Master Chief Collection will also contain a beta code for Halo 5: Guardians. They moved on to give Rise of the Tomb Raider its world premiere, although details are thin on the ground at present.

During the pre E3 conference, gamers saw the much rumoured and speculated Project Beast announced as Bloodborne. Developed by From Software, the Japanese team behind the Souls games, Bloodborne is a new RPG that looks like it will follow in the morbidly dark and terrifying style of the Souls games and Bloodborne will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive and will launch in 2015. Here’s the first world premiere trailer of first footage from Bloodborne; Bloodborne challenges players to face their fears, and it’s already looking pretty awesome. The trailer weighs in at a fairly generous 3 minutes and contains some noteworthy action – most excitingly the changing weapon that, who we assume to be, the lead character is killing enemies with. It initially seems to be embedded in an enemy in the form of a saw, before changing into a giant sword and then later in the trailer possibly a gun. One weapon serving multiple functions could add some really interesting gameplay to Bloodborne – a boss battle vulnerable to different
