Backbreakerās Team Checks In Again With Icebreaker
In real life, I skate like a waddling five-year-old forever on the verge of crapping his pants. In Icebreaker, Iām light on my feet, spinning, deking, and sprinting away from the bowel-loosening checks coming my way.

Hitman Absolution In One Sexy Brochure
Hitman Absolution was one of many of the games I saw at E3 that impressed me not only with its new take on an old formula, but in the new story it was trying to tell and the character it was trying to refresh.
Hereās a look at the sleek brochure the IO Interactive was handing out during their demos. MoreĀ Ā»

Last week was brutalā¦ and fun. Itās always with mixed emotions that I leave Los Angles and E3 for home. This year saw lot of big news and fantastic games. I had a chance to hang out with the wonderful Kotaku writers and tons of other talented game writers as well as the best and brightest in the video game industry. My favorite moment? Probably the friendly, developer-packed, ESA party. My least favorite? Accidentally running into the womenās bathroom to use the facilities. (I didntā realize my mistake until I had fully committed. Sorry š ) Weāll all be spending the rest of the month writing up our impressions, our interviews, our experiences, hopefully youāll get something out of them. āBrian Crecente
