Nintendo made some very exciting announcements at E3 recently, and Charles was able to spend some time with a few of those upcoming games. Meanwhile, Eric and Brian play the most recent releases in two franchises, with rather different results. Nadia has some fun news for 3DS gamers heading to Comic Con, while Michael outlines 'Titanfall's' multiplayer modes and Brittany plays the new HD version of a beloved pair of 'Final Fantasy' games.

Hands-On Preview of Nintendo's Holiday 2014 Games
Once again, Charles got to try out a pile of Nintendo's upcoming games before the rest of us (lucky...). He's written up his first impressions of four much-hyped games with Holiday 2014 release dates, to help you decide if you need to get them for yourself or for someone on your gift list.

It looks like Codemasters has created another worthy entry in the 'GRID' franchise.

Alas, unlike 'GRID', the new 'Sniper Elite' is not a  decent addition to its franchise; at least, not as far as Brian is concerned. Check his review for the details, but basically he found it frustrating and annoying when he was hoping for fun and enjoyable ("boring and repetitive" is another phrase he used to describe this game).

'Super Smash Bros' 3DS Tournament at Comic-Con
If you're heading to the San Diego Comic Con this weekend, and you love 'Super Smash Brothers', why not see if you can get into the SSB tournament for 3DS? Unlike E3's Wii U competition, this one will be open to anyone on a first come, first served basis. Or, if you don't want to compete, you can watch the action on Nintendo's Twitch channel. Check out Nadia's article for the details. READ NOW
