We've collected some of the random virtual Christmas Cards and holiday well wishes from developers and publishers for you Ho ho homicide has to have been one of the best Christmas greetings I have yet to see from a video game studio or publisher this holiday season and I've seen quite a few over the last few days. Tis the season that all of those who make our favorite form of media to try and give back to all of those who keep their families fed. Or at least try to for those who are most likely going to cry and whine to their parents if they didn't get the latest Blizzard expansion or the pre-orders for all of those games coming out next year.

Naughty Dog is celebrating their 30th anniversary and the developer and PlayStation have a nice video to help educate you on where they came from If you just thought to yourself "I don't need a history lesson for Naughty Dog" then you are most likely the largest fan of the developer or you're an employee of theirs. They have had a long 30 year run that has been pushed and promoted pretty much all year. Now we get it pushed again as we have a nice long history lesson that shows you a 50 minute recap of where Naughty Dog started and are going here in the coming years. Read More...

Battlefield Hardline has a new trailer and with that a whole slew of new gameplay to try and spin the game's core narrative into a positive light Looks like we have a new trailer for Battlefield Hardline from EA and Visceral Games to look at over the holiday week. Just like the story trailer we had earlier in the month it looks like this one also follows more of the narrative and to the un-savvy viewer it looks like it is trying to push more of the positive spin that the police force needs in these current times. Maybe it is just me but the words non-lethal and rescues seem to get placed more prominent than all of the violence that will be taking place in Battlefield Hardline when we get it. It's a good move in my opinion and I hope it does the job to distance the game from the real world events people are connecting them all to. Read More...

Activision teases Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Exo Zombies more but gives a bit of insight as to what is going on in the latest trailer One of the big draws for Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare was Kevin Spacey and how amazing the performance he gave ended up being. The gameplay was just about as amazing as the performance for those who really care about the gameplay over how many huge celebrities that can be crammed into the narrative. For those of you who care about the actors and zombies then do we have a great tease from Activision and Sledgehammer again for Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Exo Zombies. We have four times the names and another short glimpse at that gameplay stuff…for those that care about that again. Read More...

Grand Theft Auto V Online still has no Heists but you will be able to have epic snowball fights while wearing ugly sweaters While we are still waiting for our Heists in Grand Theft Auto V Online it looks like Rockstar is at least giving us a few new things to bring us back into the game over the holidays. Today the developer announced that they are rolling out some fun updates for Grand Theft Auto V Online with a bunch of Festive Surprises. We can hope it will be a sneaking way to add in the mode we've been waiting forever to get into the online experience but as of right now it is nowhere listed among the additions and timed exclusives we will be seeing over the holidays in Grand Theft Auto V Online.

It appears that everyone is now singing different tunes for Hatred as it is now back on Steam Greenlight If reports are true it looks like Hatred is now back up on Steam Greenlight thanks to Gabe Newell… Or publicity stunt… Or shady practices by Destructive Creations… Or Korean hackers… Or hopefully you get the picture by now. None of that of course changes the fact that you can again vote for Hatred to be published on Steam now or try and crush the hopes of at least 27,000 hopeful gamers out there. You'll only need to muster another 23,000 negative votes to succeed there though. Read More...

Life Is Strange's release date, pricing structure, and first real trailer for the game have been released from DontNod and Square Enix Life Is Strange. Not just the name of the game but in reality Life Is Strange. Like for the fact that I had heard the name of game tossed around so often but no one would give any real details or talk about it. At least to me directly. Now we have the first real trailer for the game as well as all the ins and outs on how it is being released on January 30th 2015 for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. Read More...

A new trailer for Grand Theft Auto V Online confirms that Heists are still on the way for the online experience If you were looking to be able to play Heists online for Grand Theft Auto V you may need to wait just a bit longer. I know we've all been waiting almost a year or so but at least we have confirmation that Rockstar North is still trying to get the mode into Grand Theft Auto V Online for us all…for free. We can't really complain about something that is free can we? Well of course we can but it really is a douchey move when all is said and done. Read More...

Hatred was up on Steam's Greenlight for a few hours before being removed and declared not to be published by Valve So this was going to originally be about Hatred being up on Steam Greenlight but as I began to wrap the final keystrokes it would seem that the game has been pulled down. Yes, Hatred was up for community vote on Steam's service to be published but, like I said, it was only there for a few hours before it was taken down for the voting and an official statement was released from Valve on the whole situation. I'll let you read all of that before I get into my own thoughts on what is going on with this "offensive" PC shooter game that Destructive Creations have been working on. Here's exactly what Valve had to say about Hatred and why it was taken down from Greenlight. Read More...

The official story trailer for Battlefield Hardline's single player mode has been released and it is pretty much Cops without editing If there has been one game that has had a rough go with its marketing as of late it is Battlefield Hardline. Not that the PR teams over at EA and Visceral Games are not doing a good jobs. All of the real world events that are going on well after Battlefield Hardline was designed and even into a beta experience are making it harder and harder to be "sensitive" to everything and everyone. I applaud the whole team for rolling with the punches as well as they can in a world where virtual cops and robbers is no longer a P. Read More...

Dead Island: Epidemic, the ZOMBA title from Deep Silver, has now entered an open beta stage for us all to play and test Good news for all of those who were excited for Dead Island: Epidemic but were not able to participate in any of the closed or past betas for the game. It looks like the game has now entered into a full open beta for all to enjoy. Not only that but it looks like there have been a few new things added into Dead Island: Epidemic to entice us all in joining the Zombie Online Multiplayer Battle Arena, or ZOMBA for those who don't know how to make acronyms. You most likely don't know what PC stands for if you couldn't catch what that acronym meant BTW. Read More...

It looks like the next Assassin's Creed title has been kind of announced in the way of Assassin's Creed Victory which takes place in Victorian London Yes, I find it funny that we are hearing word of Assassin's Creed Victory, at least in code-name form, with the recent blunders from Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue here not too long ago. None the less it looks like we have a glimpse of the next annualized addition to the franchise in the way of Assassin's Creed Victory. The name of course supposed linked to the fact that the next title will take place during 19th Century/Victorian London. Read More...

It has been officially slated when Exo Zombies will be making their way into Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare via DLC and it is not far off If you've been hammering away at Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare and have yet to sneak a peek at the hidden Easter egg in the Exo Survival mode then you are in for a treat. That is if you haven't already searched across the web looking for the infamous zombies mode in Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare. That would be the Easter egg I have been speaking of. Read More...

If you need a recap on all the franchise worlds Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX will be beginning together again then you need to see these new trailers for the game(s) Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX is out next week here just in case you have forgotten. Yes it is yet another HD remaster in the wave of all of the others but in this case it is a great mixture of many titles and worlds that gamers and Disney fans have grown to love over the years. This was of course the case when all of the titles in the mix first came out but Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX is looking to rekindle that love as well as reach a new audience who may have missed out on the titles due to platform restrictions and/or age gap in their gaming career.
