With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag less than a week away from launch it's high time that the advertising and promotion trains get a rolling. Not that they haven't already with all the 'parkour' and free running videos abound as well as armor/weapon smithing of the in game items. Pretty much you don't need to look too far to find some kind of AC4 promotion. This brings me to the topic at hand. If you have been living without the internet for the last few years you may not be knowledgeable of the comedic we phenomenon of Epic Rap Battles Of History. Read More...

Just as with Telltale's last blockbuster title, The Walking Dead, we have another new 'point and click' storytelling adventure with The Wolf Among Us. It also looks like they have found a winning combination and Telltale is going to try and capitalize on it. The real question is: Can they do it again? Well, I'll be breaking it down as the new episodes release so keep an eye out. Also, if it sounds like I am being ambiguous in my phrasing that is due to me not trying to spoil the story.

If you ignored the warning in the headline then you are ready for some Batman: Arkham Origins spoilers and new footage. If not, then consider this your second warning so you can't get your panties in a bunch when I drop some possible spoilers in your lap. I'll give you a few more seconds to decide here and then I'll care on. Still here? Glad you didn't wuss out. Read More...

Ryse: Son of Rome is one of the upcoming launch titles for the Xbox One. Now that we are a month out from the launch of both the console and game let's take a look at the overall story of the game. Luckily for us it seems that Crytek was gracious enough to give us a nice little story trailer so we can get to know Damocles. Grab yourself a boar's leg, a glass of vino, and a comfortable seat to hear the tale of this great fallen warrior. So there is the basic overall story of Ryse: Son of Rome's Damocles. Read More...

First let's start with the groans of "A film-based movie for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Then let's remember how not too horrible The Amazing Spider-Man film-based game was. In fact I rather enjoyed it more than I thought and I think that was part and partial to the game being in development longer than most film tie in games. It looks like this could be in the same boat. If you look below we have the announcement trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game that is set to launch alongside the film of the same name.

With Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag releasing in the next couple weeks it is about time for us to get to know the main character Edward Kenway. It makes sense as we will all be spending many hours controlling his every move while he plunders the Caribbean upon the Jackdaw. Lucky for us Ubisoft has put out a new trailer full of cut scene and game play to help us get a feel for this scalawag. Although I think that term maybe a bit out of place, but it was 'pirate-y' so give me a break. As usual, I will let the video explain more as I am sure it is the way you like it but Edward's story doesn't sound all that new to the Assassin's Creed franchise at all. Read More...

Here we go with some new gameplay for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Not only is it gameplay though but it is a showcasing of some of the new locations, missions, combat, and customization you will be getting when it hits this February. Speaking on customization, to me that is the real focus here in the video with sub-title descriptions. I am not talking just changing some armor pieces or paradigms. From the looks of things we will get to customize our combat and quick attack methods by mapping specific attacks to the buttons on the controller for one. Read More...

If you like to hear about titles well in advance then do I have a title for you; SOMA. SOMA is the latest title to be announced from Frictional Games (Amnesia and Penumbra) and is slated for Windows, Mac, Linux, and PS4. It also happens to have a release window of…2015. If I had to throw a month out there I would probably go with October as this is survival horror title, but there is no real foundation in that. It is just me hypothesizing. So what is SOMA?

Ok, so that headline is only half way true. Tango Gameworks and Bethesda are also looking for some awesome The Evil Within fan art or costumes inspired by everything they have released for the game so far and not just Boxman. You could also go with Nails-In-The-Face or Octo-Hair-Wavy-Girl if you are so inclined. Granted those names are made up by myself and not the "official" names being used by the studio or the publisher but if you look at the trailers and screen shots then mix in their 'clever' name for Boxman it is an easy assumption. Moving on now. Read More...

Beyond: Two Souls has finally come out and worked its way into our gaming world. If you've been hiding under a rock and just stumbled upon this review by accident, this is the new title written and directed by David Cage of Heavy Rain fame. Quantic Dream being the developer in case you are in from that angle. Either way, in case you are on the fence about giving Beyond: Two Souls a play or a purchase, I am here again to help you make an informed-ish decision. The Story This is a story about a girl, Ellen Page Jodie Holmes, who is 'different' and refuses to use lip balm that also happens to have been born with an 'entity' or ghost attached to her.

Well here is some sad news. It looks like Watch Dogs is going to be delayed until spring of 2014 now. This is a title I have been eagerly awaiting and actually got me to upgrade my PS4 pre-order to come bundled with. Looks like I will have to be choosing a new title to start playing during next month's console release. Before you think this is rumor or just random neigh saying, the news comes right from the Ubisoft blog. If you want to save yourself a bit of time, the short version for the delay is that Watch Dogs needs more 'polish' and 'fine tuning'. Read More...

Can we all say it together? FINALLY. Finally we have hit an age were platform choice doesn't matter when it comes to playing with friends. In the below trailer for Call Of Duty: Ghosts you can see all of the new details for creating or re-registering clans for the title, but this has to be the biggest news out of all of it. Am I right? Oh wait, it doesn't actually let you play with friends in game. Read More...

Finally we get something a bit more concrete to look at to the public for Thief. As the below video claims we are now getting a good chuck of actual gameplay for the game and it looks…all too familiar. Like way too familiar. Almost like I am watching another title that has had a face-lift to be passed off as another game. Oh, I know now. It looks like the gameplay of Dishonored without the stylized look. Read More...

Here we are five titles into the franchise and we are now getting the ability to manipulate some of our favorite characters and worlds with Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure. While personally I would have preferred a Marvel version, beggars can't be choosers when given the opportunity to rewrite, create, and travel to all of the famous locations in "nerd" history. As should be obvious, I had a chance to get down and dirty with Scribblenauts Unmasked on the PC and I am going to break it down for you to let you know if you should spend the time and money for the game. The Story After all of their fun adventures before, Maxwell and his sister Lilly are having a normal dispute on who is the best DC character. Read More...

Now we know that South Park: The Stick Of Truth will be launching on December 10th this year keeping with its 'Holiday Season' promise. If you are wondering where that date came from, then you obviously haven't been paying attention to the internet or jumped down to the new trailer for the game below. Thanks for that. Is there anything else we can glean from this trailer that we have not been able to find? Read More...
