Leo Stevenson -- "Unravel is an incredibly strong contender for the title of my favourite game at E3 2015. To think that it’s coming from EA is almost unbelievable, but the partnership between the biggest publisher on the planet and a tiny development house from the north of Sweden has produced something astonishing."
Paul writes: "For me, a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to creating a platform game is the design of the main character. All the most successful games throughout history have a recognisable protagonist: Sonic, Mario, Crash Bandicoot, the list goes on. With the design of Yarny - the hero of the 2016 game Unravel - the designers at Coldwood Interactive smashed it out of the park."
There are over a dozen digital EA games on sale for between $5 and $16 right now. They include Anthem, Battlefield V, The Sims 4, and Mass Effect: Andromeda. Some of the deals are for PC via Origin; others are for Xbox One.
Neil writes: "Last time out Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers had the opportunity to indulge themselves in a ton of discounted Xbox games with a glorious Xbox Super Game Add-On and LEGO sale joining the usual Deals With Gold offerings. It was certainly a great week to be an Xbox gamer, but now it's time to look at the latest set of discounts coming our way via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 20th-26th August 2019. With Gamescom up and running, surely there are a ton of newly discounted titles to enjoy? You betcha!"
One of mine too.
I would say this was my biggest surprise of E3. The other big surprises were as least rumored or wished for since Methuselah walked the Earth.
This kind of game coming from EA of all publishers AND getting stage time at E3? Never would've imagined it.
