We eclipsed our record-making 2014 with this new, record-breaking 2015. Our biggest year yet, we leave 2015 with a record 936 articles (153 of which were in June during E3!) across 74 categories, hitting nearly a million words. That article count is 210 more than 2014, and the word count is nearly double!
And it’s all thanks to some crazy talented people: Brent Botsford and John Kalanderopoulos have done fantastic jobs at conveying their passion for the gaming and movie industries we love so much! So, without further ado, here are our biggest stories of 2015:
February: Sony confirms The Last Guardian still in development
March: Rock Band 4 announced for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
April: Star Wars: Battlefront gets release date, tons of details
May: Nintendo details E3 2015 plans
June: Xbox One gets backwards-compatibility with Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade games
July: Nintendo CEO, Satoru Iwata has passed away at Age 55
August: Cliff Bleszinski, Boss Key reveal Lawbreakers
September: Star Fox Zero delayed to early 2016
October: Quantic Dream announces Detroit: Become Human
November: Zelda Wii U coming in 2016, new video surfaces
December: TGA 2015: Telltale is making an episodic Batman adventure game
Some of our biggest articles came out of E3 2015 in Los Angeles. Our seventh E3 in a row, this was our biggest yet, and even though we have bigger plans for E3 2016, there was no shortage of awesomeness out of Los Angeles this year!
