Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games Another week down and even more video games to have been discussed. We've gone past the tail end of Gamescom and are still recovering from that just before we move on to PAX again. More and more video games and less and less time. That is also if we want to ignore all of the new games coming like Mafia 3, BioShock: The Collection, and Final Fantasy XV. Read More...

BioShock Some early looks at BioShock: The Collection have been uploaded and now we get to see all three BioShock titles up and running for us to dissect I knew that with BioShock: The Collection coming out soon it would only be a matter of time that we started to see some "let's play" videos popping up. They are all the rage and I'm sure that 2K Games would love the free publicity that goes along with them. It looks like they couldn't wait to get BioShock: The Collection out there on September 13th for us all. Read More...

Mafia 3 Another character video for Mafia 3 has been released and here we get to see the two men who will help guide Lincoln as the events of Mafia 3 play out for us We may have seen these two men in the background of the videos for Mafia 3 but as it turns out, it looks like some of the supporting cast will have a greater effect on the overall game than just being there. In yet another character video from 2K Games to show things off it looks like we have a look at the priest and CIA operative that have been all over but not talked about much by Hangar 13. That is of course until now as we have a deeper look at how these two men will influence the outcomes of Mafia 3 for their own goals or the "soul" of Lincoln Clay. Read More...

Ratchet & Clank Ratchet & Clank has recently hit the small screens of home with new content. We had a chance to sit down and break the film down piece by piece. Here is our review of Ratchet & Clank Maybe you remember back when Ratchet & Clank first came out and that there was a feature film that was slated to launch with it. It did launch in theaters shortly after the video game's launch and Insomniac Games had its IP all over the place for a short time. As films always do, Ratchet & Clank left the big screen and we were left with only the video game to keep us coming. Read More...

Mafia 3 Another breakdown of Mafia 3's Thomas Burke has released as well as an epic looking soundtrack for Mafia 3 that will have over 100 songs on it It is time to continue the releasing of information on each of the Mafia 3 lieutenants and again we have more on Thomas Burke. We already know a little bit based on the promotional materials that 2K Games has put out there already but it is always nice to get a good description and explanation of things from the writers over there at Hangar 13. That is just what we have to get us ready for the full release of Mafia 3 on October 7th for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Well at least what we have until we get to dig deeper in as we know all the characters are going to be fleshed out a bit more than a minute-long video. Read More...

Gears Of War 4 Some new Gears Of War 4 gameplay has been released at some of its highest quality and now we can see Gears Of War 4 running at 4K resolution with new scenes Out at Gamescom convention goers had a chance to get hands on with Gears Of War 4 on the Windows PC version of the game. Something we'll all get to do when the game lands on October 11th for that and the Xbox One but of course that doesn't mean things were fair for those of us not at the convention and wanting to see more on The Coalition's work. Thankfully the information age has so many outlets for us to keep up to date and now we have some solid Gears Of War 4 gameplay in 4K resolution. Because that is something we'll all be playing in right? Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games There we go with another week in video games down and another huge convention full of updates and news to have under our belts. Gamescom is still going on as this is being written and there is still plenty more to be given out from it. Hopefully more for Final Fantasy XV now that it has been delayed or at least some more solid stuff for South Park without all the stank. I do not envy those who had to play that demo with the reverse gas mask on. Read More...

Minecraft We sit down and review Minecraft: Story Mode — Access Denied. This is the seventh episode of Telltale's take on Mojang's famed franchise. Here's our review on how they did It looks like we are heading toward the end of Minecraft: Story Mode's expansion season as now we have the seventh episode of the game out now. Telltale Games has been doing their best with the franchise and giving us an entertaining story based on the blocky world of Mojang. We've been covering all of the episodes so far for Minecraft: Story Mode with some hits and some misses and now is the time for us to go through the most recent one. Read More...

BioShock A new comparison video for BioShock: The Collection has been released and now we can see if the original BioShock titles have been upgraded enough to justify the collection It took so long for BioShock: The Collection to finally get the announcement and date for us but now that September 13th is quickly approaching it would be nice to see if there is good reason to repurchase all of these titles again. I'm sure 2K Games would want me to tell you that you have to right now but that wouldn't dictate if Blind Squirrel did an amazing job or not. There are three BioShock titles here that needed some touchups and now we have a good view at the upgrades that have been done from the originals. Read More...

Mafia 3 A new Mafia 3 trailer has been released out of Gamescom and it looks like it is what starts the Mafia 3 story off with a huge bang It seems like we can't go a half a week without another new Mafia 3 trailer or update and that is a good thing. If it was kept silent then it would seem more and more like 2K Games has no faith in what Hangar 13 has put together for us but here is seems like they want to get fully behind it. That all said, here we have yet another trailer for Mafia 3 right out of Gamescom and it is one that I think we've all been waiting for. This one shows us just how the whole story is going to start off with a huge bang and exactly why Lincoln is on his rampage. Read More...

Batman A new look at Batman: Arkham VR shows us all a bit of the gameplay as well as what it may be like to become Batman in the Arkham franchise There has been a lot of buzz around Batman: Arkham VR since it was first announced and so very few fans have been able to fully experience this PlayStation VR exclusive game/experience. Even out of SDCC it looks like only about 500 fans had a chance to give Rocksteady Games' run in the VR space a try and it has been a lot few out of E3 where Warner Bros. brought the same thing. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games Another solid week in video games in the bag and damn this one was filled with a lot of exciting things. We were able to get out our reviews for Adr1ft and Batman from Telltale and we also were able to see THQ come back into form in a small way. Also a whole lot of updates to other video games like Gears Of War 4 and Resident Evil 7 for us all to chew on. We are also so very close to another huge gaming convention here too that will most likely come with a whole lot of other news and tidbits all their own. Read More...

THQ In an interesting turn of events THQ is sort of back as Nordic Games has rebranded itself to THQ Nordic and has a load of games in development Talk about a way to end this week on as it looks like THQ is coming back after shutting down back in 2013. Not the direct company and employees that were let go but it looks like Nordic Games has chosen to rebrand themselves now they own the rights to a whole lot of successful IPs and names they picked up back then. Their new name is now THQ Nordic and they are coming out swinging with some amazing news. Some of that news being that they have at least 13 titles in the works already that we have yet to hear about and many others that we should all know very well by now. Read More...

Batman We sit down and review Batman: The Telltale Series — Realm Of Shadows. This is the first episode of Telltale's take on the Batman franchise. Here's our review on how they did It seemed like a weird time to bring out Batman: The Telltale Series given all of the other titles fighting for the limelight back when the game was first announced. But given that Telltale Games has had a pretty solid record on their storytelling titles to date I know myself and many other tried to ignore all of the other Batman going on to give this version of the franchise a fair shake. Well the first episode of the game has been released and we have been able to play it. Read More...

Mafia 3 Two new video s for Mafia 3 have been released with one showing off the 3rd lieutenant and the other Mafia 3's districts built in the city It looks like I may have spoken too soon on the lieutenant side of things yesterday for Mafia 3. Yes, we had a good behind the scenes look at Cassandra as Hangar 13 has crafted her but I know I was looking to find out about Vito Scaletta and his whole story. Or at least as much of the story for Mafia 3 as 2K Games is willing to give us all as we wait for the October 7th release date for the game. Not so long from now and it looks like we now have a good look at the whole crew and only more to come so they are full fleshed out. Read More...
