Immediately following MLG Raleigh - I was off to sunny Seattle, Washington to catch up with all of the developers, designers, and some friends to see what's new and fresh. My conclusion, the majority of these incredibly smart people (including CEO's) were heavily gearing the future of their titles and products toward eSports. The most impressive titles (besides the obvious console monsters H4, BLOPS2, & GOWJ) had to be FireFall, Tekken Tag Team 2, and LoadOut. All 3 titles also happened to happily employ former renowned pro gamers like Rhoulette, Filthierich, and arCtyC. Below you can see interviews and gameplay from each of those games along with my co-hosts Mrs Violence, Rob Benedict, and Richard Speight Jr. Enjoy!

Tekken Time - Tom vs Kelly (Tsquared vs Mrs Violence)
This was super fun because I haven't played Tekken since WAY back in the day. I've always been much more of a Mortal Kombat fan. However, after playing TT5 I was really impressed with everything they had going on from gameplay to their amazing online capability. This went down at the Twitch TV booth - which also shared the space with SteelSeries.
