New Video and Details About Watch_Dogs, We’s Got Em!

Dayyyuuummm!

Last year at E3, Ubisoft unveiled Watch_Dogs from out of nowhere. This game quickly intrigued everyone and looked badass. Since then there hasn’t been anything else that has come about, until now. Earlier at Sony’s PS4 “reveal”, Ubisoft showed off a walkthrough video that shows some new and awesome things about Watch_Dogs. Don’t worry if you didn’t see it because we’ve got it below with the rest of the details! Read the rest of this article…

A Blind Date With The PlayStation 4: First Base Grabbed, Home Still Far Away

A Blind Date With The PlayStation 4: First Base Grabbed, Home Still Far Away

A snapshot of Killzone: Shadow Falls, a small taste of what the next generation looks like.

Sony knows how to tease. Despite over two hours of presentation, they’ve still only scratched the surface on what the PlayStation 4 experience will be. Due out later this year, we caught a clip of what the hardware’s going to be like, a dabble of what tech demos developers can make for the hardware, and not much else to go on. In a presentation geared toward hardcore gamers, details are still so scarce – and our HD press footage still so unfulfilled – that it almost feels like they’ve jumped the gun. It wasn’t the first time, Sony unveiled the PS3 a full year and a half before it released, long before even the Xbox 360 hit retailers. So how much blood can we squeeze from this stone?

The Night Of The Rabbit – New Adventure Game Incoming From Daedalic

The Night Of The Rabbit – New Adventure Game Incoming From Daedalic

Try as I might, I couldn’t find a picture of that damned rabbit.

I’ve never made a secret of the fact that I love adventure games. When PC gaming first started to gain popularity, adventure games were all the rage. I cut my teeth on games like Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, King’s Quest, Police Quest (Which I first discovered in the decisions lab for the ASU computer science department, on a Mac, no less) and many more. Adventure games were great because they kept you busy and active and could take days of play time to complete; Something we’ve gotten far away from.

And now, adventure games seem to be making a comeback. I like it!

SimCity Soundtrack Now Available On Spotify, iTunes, Might Just Make Your Day

SimCity Soundtrack Now Available On Spotify, iTunes, Might Just Make Your Day

Like this, but just the music.

Nothing sets the tone of a SimCity game faster than the music. Whether it’s the clever sounds of a farty MIDI track from SimCity 2000 or the string sections of this newest game, hearing the lightweight plucking and sheer optimism of their score is an uplifting experience. Available now in most places you can legally acquire music (and probably many places you can’t), you can relive the urban planning experience wherever you are.

Gamepocalypse 2013 – Supporting The Wounded Warrior Project

Gampocalypse – Supporting Wounded Warriors

The Wounded Warrior Project is something that is near to my heart. My grandfather served in World War 2, my father was a “Green Beret” in the Vietnam war, my brother in law was in the special forces in the first Gulf war and many of my friends and family are and have been members of the military who have served, and in some cases, been wounded or killed in combat.

That’s why, when I heard about this upcoming charity event, I immediately volunteered FEZ and we threw our hats in the ring to sponsor this amazing community gathering.

Rock Band Network Receives Last New Songs On April 2, Is Sure You’ll Be Crushed

Rock Band Network Receives Last New Songs On April 2, Is Sure You’ll Be Crushed

The Rock Band Platform will still be available, though! Don’t you worry!

One of the keenest examples of Harmonix’s foresight when creating Rock Band was in having a unified downloadable content platform available from day one: the Rock Band Platform. Regardless of game, of which there were many, you could purchase new songs not included on the disc and play those songs in any version of Rock Band that you had. New songs were added on a weekly basis, but those days are soon coming to an end. Harmonix has announced that their last update for Rock Band will fall on April 2 with a song “fitting” of such an event.

Did Nintendo Send The Wii U Out To Slaughter, Dreamcast-Style?

Did Nintendo Send The Wii U Out To Slaughter, Dreamcast-Style?

I’m still sittin’ in your stores, bogarting your palettes.

Whatever timid performance the Wii U was pulling off this holiday, it appears to be doing even worse now. Per NPD’s five-week reporting timeline for January 2013, the Wii U sold 55,000 units against the Xbox 360’s 281,000 units. These look sad on paper, but then you have to factor in that the Wii U is new hardware that typically continues to sell out through the New Year, but Wii U consoles can still be found in every store on demand. Worse still, compared to the four week period after the Wii launched in January 2007, the Wii U pales further with a paltry 46,000 units compared to 348,000 Wiis. This spells gloom and doom and in any other environment, the Wii U would have some room to grow. Unfortunately, Microsoft and Sony have other plans.
