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.

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...

With Halloween just around the corner, I've wanted to play a creepy game. The problem with this is I can’t seem to find a game creepy enough to send chills down my spine, while not scaring me away from the game every five minutes (it's been a few months since the last time I played Amnesia). Thankfully, the fellows at the Russian development studio, Ice-Pick Lodge, have created a game to fit my personal chill levels without scaring me away. Knock Knock is a 2D side-scrolling survival game set in a single house in the middle of the woods with a single resident. The game was started by Ice-Pick Lodge when they "received an anonymous e-mail which suggested that we should produce some 'unconventional' game based upon the materials attached to the letter.

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.

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...

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...

We have been promised some great things for the upcoming Call Of Duty: Ghosts and I am talking more than just the dogs. New modes, new graphics, new engine, all kinds of new stuff. Well here we go with yet another new feature to the franchise and next installment to the franchise. This new mode is called squads. What is Squads? Well according to the below trailer, this is a whole new set of modes for single player or multiplayer where you get to build your own squad and pit them against other player's squads or AI squads.

The Walking Dead from Telltale has been out for some time now for every device with one of the most recent being the PS Vita. Now I know what you are thinking "is there a reason I should get the game again?" Well with the PS Vita comes a few extra hardware additions that just were not available on the console or PC so let's dig in and see if your third or fourth play through will be worth it on Sony's handheld device. In case you missed out on the basics of the game, such as story, feel free to check out our original review of the console version to get caught up. Hated One of the bigger features for this version of The Walking Dead was the ability to use the touch screen to interact with the game. Read More...

We are all looking for an edge when it comes to competitive gaming or just gaming in general. Be it new tricks and perks or a specialized controller to allow our hands to move as fast as our brains can think. Recently I got my hands on an accessory that claims to be able to help out with just these wants and needs for us gamers. The Avenger Elite is this accessory's name and I'll give you the low down on if it is worth your time and money to try and squeeze a little bit of extra skill out of your hands with it. Let's start off with the 'installation' of the device. Read More...

Here we go with some great news for all of you out there looking forward to Destiny. If you pre-order the game now, and I'm assuming up until spring of 2014, you will gain access to the official beta for the game. The assumption before is based on the fact that this beta is slated for "Early 2014" or "spring 2014" and there would be no need to gain access after said beta has concluded. Either way, if you haven't pre-ordered yet, or if you have, you need to head down and get your beta code so you can get all set up. Just as a heads up though, you can only get access to the beta if you pre-order at the following locations. Read More...

Of course you do. In fact I have the game play that I got to watch for my E3 Impressions for The Evil Within here. Not exact as in step by step, but I do have all the sections that I was shown in the dark room. I knew if we waited patiently until the Eurogamer Expo that just took place we would get to see it in the wilds of the internet. Just to get the ball rolling for you, the game play picks up right after the initial trailer that was shown at TGS. Detective Sebastian Castellanos was just ambushed by a mysterious hooded figure and knocked out. Read More...

Nothing brings people together like a great heist. That's a saying, right? Well it is for my needs. Anyways, why should a great heist not bring a group of pirates together as we can see in the latest trailer for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? With the unifying theme of greed among men who will most likely turn it around in the story to be the thing that saves us all from the evils of the world becoming the real story. Damn, I am going off topic again. Anyways, again, below is the latest trailer for the game with very sparse new info but at least it is a great advertising piece for us to devour. Read More...
