Weekend Game Hunting: California dreamin’ edition [USA Today / E3]

[By Brett Molina, USA TODAY]

T-minus three days until the video game industry’s future goes on full display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Game Hunters will have you covered all next week, with previews, news and live coverage galore. Check out our readers’ guide for more details. Also, find out what titles we chose for our 20 most anticipated video games at E3.

Since I will spend most of my weekend packing and prepping for E3, my schedule will be light, and quite mobile friendly.

Here’s what is on my gaming menu:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Thank goodness for plane rides. I’ll have plenty of time to sink into this remastered classic.

Super Stickman Golf. My new favorite iOS game. It’s golf but with crazy courses and an emphasis on physics. Controls are really simple, too. Players just move a cursor to aim then fire off a shot.

Infinity Blade. The multiplayer addition is quite fascinating. Controlling the knight is similar to before, but battling as enemies is a bit different. Players have a meter to adjust the speed of attacks and simply swipe across the screen to execute. There’s also a Fury attack players can unleash that delivers greater damage. So far, it’s really fun. I just wish developers offered more weapons and gear at mid-range prices.
