My Picks from #EuroGamerExpo

So I’ve been at the Euro Gamer Expo today and here’s my thoughts on what I liked there…

Of the bigger games Assasin’s Creed 3 looked really good; amazing visuals and the re-invented Tomb Raider, there as the new hunter’s mode with bow & arrow, looked amazing too. In both cases the environment art looked stunning. I also liked the look of Company of Heroes 2 and the new XCom game, which is a really fun playable looking strategy game.

But of the mainstream titles that were there I liked the look of Crysis 3 the most. The hunter multiplayer game looks great fun, balancing the numbers of the Cell team vs the stealth of the Nanosuit.

Of the Indie stuff that caught my eye was the parallax retro side scrolling game, Towers of Gorillion which I really like the mechanics of and also love the look of too:

And also a simple yet really fun atom-building game called Sokobond where the player has to link the elements together:
