A new developer diary for the Snowdrop Engine has surfaced from GDC. Learn about the engine a bit and see some gameplay for The Division. This is going to be yet another of my famous, I wish, talks about game engines and where they have advanced; specifically the Snowdrop engine again. If you are unfamiliar with the Snowdrop engine, it is what Ubisoft and Massive have built for the upcoming title The Division. I've also pined over this engine a bit in the past and it will keep going like that as we keep getting videos that show off its power. The kind that I have provided a little bit lower. Read More...

We Sit Down And Review South Park The Stick of Truth. Was it worth the delays and the hype? Is this their Magnum Opus? The moment has arrived, finally. South Park: The Stick Of Truth has finally launched and I have had the chance to give the turn-based-RPG a good play. Matt and Trey were hoping that they wouldn't be getting a 4/10 on Gamespot or any other crappy reviews for the game. How do you think they fared? Let me break it down for you and let you know what I think and if it is worth your time and money. Read More...

Some new information and talks came out for Tales From The Borderlands at SXSW. Here is the whole panel showing off all that fun stuff. So back at the VGXs Telltale and Gearbox announced Tales From The Borderlands and that was about it, outside of a short little announcement trailer. Then a whole lot of silence and nothingness. I know you are all heart broken. Well the good news I have for you here is that during the annual SXSW conference in Austin both companies have decided to bring the con goers some new information and details. Read More...

We Sit Down And Review Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2. This is the supposed finale to this iteration of the franchise but does it end on a high note? It is been a long time coming but I finally got to play Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2 in all of its glory and non-demo version. I've been a bit worried about the visuals of the game as well as the controls since I first laid hands on the first build. You can imagine that I wanted to put this to the test and see if this would be the way that Mercury Steam wanted to end the Lords of Shadow story. Let's bite into this review already and see if the franchise has been bled dry or if there is still a bit of immortality left. Read More...

We have a few more Watch Dogs screen shots to help expand on how the game looks and what you can hack. Yesterday we got a release date for Watch Dogs and a story trailer. Also peppered in were a few new rumors and speculation that have been debunked. Things like resolution lowering and features removed from Watch Dogs. Also things that I won't touch on as they appear to be all internet hearsay and/or small blogs trying to grab attention. For shame all of you. Read More...

Watch Dogs has had its release date and story trailer 'leaked' but confirmed by Ubisoft. Finally it is coming out. Here we go with yet another 'leak' of information and this time it is for Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. As I looked over the internet and media this morning it almost seemed like everyone and their cousin's sister's former roommate was talking about this 'leaked' trailer and date. About an hour after this, the official twitter account for the game confirmed and posted all the details including the following story trailer for Watch Dogs. Just as with the other 'leaks' I think this was more planned or a slip up while uploading the trailer to YouTube. Read More...

A recent video from Team Dakota shows off all of the creative 'games' Project Spark beta users have created on the Xbox One. I remember back when Project Spark was first announced and shown off to a lack luster acceptance. I also remember getting to see it up close and personal with many members of the press and convention goers giving it little acknowledgement. Now that the beta is in full swing for Windows 8 and Xbox One users all of those naysayers from before seem to be singing a different tune or at least they should be based on what has been created within Project Spark. What makes me say this is the recent video for Project Spark that has just been loosed to the web that shows off some of the creative ways users have used it just in the beta. Read More...

A Lot Has Gone On This Week. Here's A Recap Of What We Covered In Gaming. Another week down and another week in gaming news. It's been a whole load of undead and DLC news that has been covered but there has been a load of new news floating about. Most it something to get crazy excited about to boot.

South Park The Stick Of Truth is hit with further censorship. This time in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. What is being taken out? It's games like South Park The Stick Of Truth that make me happy to live in a country that doesn't openly censor entertainment content. I won't go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories about that in the US but on a whole it isn't done as much as it seems to happen outside. Personally it is a little shocking what makes it in this nation of prudes but not other, more open cultures but it would seem that in this case we in the US are okay with anal probing as a whole. Jesting and personal views aside, below we have a lift of scenes that have had about 20 second edits to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of South Park The Stick Of Truth in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Games make a console worthwhile but are there any that will revitalize the Wii U? Any that will 'sale' the console? I am a huge Nintendo fan but it has really gone downhill for me in the past two console generations. This brings me to the question, "Are there any games that make the Wii U worth buying?" I am not the typical Nintendo guy who gets a new system every time a Pokémon, Zelda, Mario, or Smash Bros. game comes out. Read More...
