A Lot Has Gone On This Week. Here's A Recap Of What We Covered In Gaming So it has been a bit on the slow side of gaming news this week but that didn't stop us from having loads to bring you. All kinds of things too. From smaller indie games to games you will be able to play in the real world instead of your normal gaming habits. I'm not talking about any of that motion control stuff that has seemed to fall completely to the sidelines. You know what I am talking about hopefully. Read More...

Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals the prequel novel to Rise Of The Tomb Raider and sequel to the Tomb Raider reboot has been announced If you had a lot of burning question at the end of the Tomb Raider reboot and what led to the events in the trailer for Rise Of The Tomb Raider then you may be in luck. DK Publishing has announced that there will be a new novel that bridges between both games called Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals. It is slated to come out this October so that will help all of us huge fans pass the time between the games as I am sure we are still a way off from the next game version of the franchise.

A new multiplayer mode for Sunset Overdrive has been announced with a trailer showing off all of the new chaos Can Sunset Overdrive get any wackier? Most likely but the new co-op mode, Chaos Squad, shows off quite a bit of the insanity that we will have to deal with on October 28th via our Xbox One's and Xbox Live. If that is your jam and all. I mean who would want to play a game like Sunset Overdrive in a multiplayer aspect? Read More...

New screenshots for Alien Isolation have come out of hiding and are ready to pounce We had a few sexy screenshots for Alien Isolation. Now it looks like we have a few more that didn't make the cut earlier but they still show off how nice the game will look. At least in the terms of fire, make-shift Molotov Cocktails, and flame throwers. We can file all of these in the folder of "The Environment Looks Amazing And The Lighting Effects Are Awesome" for now. It's a long name but it will make it easy to search for later. Read More...

There is a new developer diary for Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare showing off the art design and direction for the game Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare is going to have some amazing high tech looking gadgets. It is also shown that it is going to have some truly next gen graphics and effect to go along with all of that to make it look as high tech as the gadgets you are using to murder people in the streets. If you are interested in see how all of that came to life, including Kevin Spacey being covering in mo-cap dots, then here is a video just for you. If you are looking for a few more scenes for Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare then this is also for you as well. Read More...

The Walking Dead Escape is coming back to San Diego Comic Con for a third year and is allowing us gamers to try to survive a zombie apocalypse game in real life If there has been one thing that has caught my love over the last few years at San Diego Comic Con it has to be The Walking Dead Escape. If you haven't seen or heard of it or seen it you can see my 2013 run and my 2012 run or you can just look around online as the event is still touring around the country giving all of us gamers a chance to test our mettle in a real live zombie apocalypse of sorts. If you are just one of those lazy people here I'll recap what the event is all about. In a nut shell they people who put on the event take over an arena, mall, or large building structure and do it and its surroundings up as if it was a location from The Walking Dead show or comic.

Deep Silver has just announced Escape Dead Island, a third-person survival mystery take on the Dead Island franchise from Fatshark Just in case you couldn't wait for some hardcore zombie killing action in Dead Island 2 or Dying Light (Coming 2015™), Deep Silver and Fatshark are bringing us yet another zombie slaying game of sorts with Escape Dead Island. It's not just zombie killing and surviving, but also a game about solving the mystery of what caused the outbreak and keeping your own sanity in the middle of this world crushing event. Also to deviate from the normal Dead Island type of formula is that Escape Dead Island will be in third-person view and with a graphic novel art style instead of the more realistic we are used to.

HEXO+, a Kickstarted camera accessory, has been funded and it looks like it is making that Razer April Fools' joke happen If you remember back in April, Razer made a joke about a drone that would film all of your life events and even make you feel like you were in a video game. That was the joke but it looks like with the HEXO+ Kickstarter almost reaching its last stretch goal with 15 days to go, we are getting just that device. While the HEXO+ wasn't originally designed for that purpose the first two stretch goals would allow for just that; a live video playback on your phone and the ability to set up specific angles. While Razer made the joke, HEXO+ looks to be making that amazing idea a reality. Read More...

A Lot Has Gone On This Week. Here's A Recap Of What We Covered In Gaming This has been some week in terms of gaming news. It was a bit expected but not to the lull that it has been in the wake of E3. That of course didn't stop us from gathering up what we could find to update all of you with. Everything from the large titles like Batman: Arkham Knight to the smaller like Slow Down Bull. We got you covered pretty damn well here. It would defeat the purpose of giving you a recap of everything if I went over everything right now so I'll let you pick and choose what you want to see.

A new 'summer' trailer has been released for Space Hulk: Deathwing coming to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC If you have an illness and the only cure is more space marines then look no further than Space Hulk: Deathwing. This is the latest in the Space Hulk franchise, at least in the video game world, and it definitely looks like it is going to have a cure for that illness. As if there weren't already enough of those franchises coming out later this year or in 2015 but different stokes for different folks I guess. You can take that phrase in whatever way you want but I meant it in the most Puritanical way that I know. Read More...

With the E3 demo for Styx: Master Of Shadows being released we can see how it can be a better Thief game than Thief turned out to be Here we go with Styx: Master Of Shadows, yet another little gem I missed out on at E3 due to time constraints. Luckily, like many other titles, the demos and gameplay didn't stay at the convention for long and now we get a nice 14 minute look at the gameplay for Styx: Master Of Shadows. This title has only recently made it onto my Gamedar and that makes me a little sad. Just by watching this gameplay demo alone would have been enough before to get my interest going but I am only one being and my attentions are already drawn all over. Read More...

Recently Chris Ashton from Turtle Rock Studios revealed that there will be a single-player campaign in Evolve It would seem that I was a bit confused before when it came to Evolve and the play modes of the game. I was under the impression that it was a multiplayer experience through and through. Looks like I was wrong as Turtle Rock has only focused on showing the multiplayer aspect of Evolve and kind of pushed the solo play to the side lines. That was until a few quotes from Chris Ashton (Design Director) let fly out into the world of the internet directly pointed at the single-player experience. Here's what Mr. Read More...

Insomniac Games has announced that they are experimenting with the open development process with a new 'indie' title Slow Down Bull We've seen a bit of "open development" with other studios but it looks like Insomniac Games is giving it a go with Slow Down Bull. By open development I am talking about how some studios have been live streaming the process or conducting Google Hangouts to get gamer feedback as they move forward in the process. This is just the case for Slow Down Bull as it will consist of a team of four to five members of the Insomniac crew making this little PC title over the course of "until it is done". Not much is known for Slow Down Bull as of yet as it was just announced with nothing more than a concept of some key art but here's what we got. Read More...

The Saints Row IV National Treasure edition has been announced and is a version that has all the DLC for Saints Row IV Just in case you are really really late to the Saints Row IV party it looks like we are getting a new edition of the game close to a year after launch. Saints Row IV National Treasure Edition is said edition if you missed the clues in the headline of this posting. What comes in this new edition of the game is Saints Row IV plus all of the DLC to date as well. No hunting down more clues to find the next block of DLC hidden up the backside of a bald eagle somewhere. Read More...
