Suit Up Isaac!

The Gaming news for the week:

• 343 Industries has announced that their Halo 4 soundtrack will be released on October 22nd. The soundtrack is composed by Neil Davidge instead of Martin O’Donnell who did all of the other soundtracks in the Halo series. Hopefully he can do as well as Martin did.
  There are 2 editions of the soundtrack: The original Halo 4 Soundtrack and the Special Edition 2-Disc Box Set Halo 4 Soundtrack.
• The original soundtrack comes in to options, CD and Digital. Both comes with 15 tracks that are called: Awakening, Belly Of The Beast, Requiem, Legacy, Faithless, Nemesis, Haven, Ascendancy, Solace, To Galaxy, Immaterial, 117, Arrival, Revival, Green And Blue.

The Gaming stuff for today:

The reason I said stuff instead of news is because there is next to nothing on the news front. I have found that Microsoft has confirmed again that they will be releasing the Xbox 720 in 2013. Also I have read that Half-Life 3 is listed to be revealed at Gamescon, which is highly unlikely. Though it would be nice if they announced it on my birthday.

SPAAAAAACE!!!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Rocksteady has announced that their Batman game will not be a sequel. They have announced that the game will be a prequel to Arkham Asylum and will feature the Justice League. This could introduce spin off games! Man, am I hoping for a good Superman Game. The sad news is that Paul Dini will not be writting the story for the game. He did such an amazing job on the first 2, I would love to see how he would have added the Justice league to the story.
• Ubisoft has announced that Assassins Creed 3 will have Season Pass DLC on Xbox 360. I dont know if you have preordered it already, but I did. What ever DLC that does not come with my preorder I will be buying. The game is not complete until you play ever portion of it.
• Conan O'Brien's reviews Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition:
  
• 343 Industries has announced that they will be releasing a Halo 4 Limited Edition game. Here is what is included in the box that has been announced:
• The War Games Map Packs that includes access to nine maps: three multiplayer map packs= that included 3 maps in each.
• Unique in-game Spartan IV armor skin, a weapon skin for the Assault Rifle, an exclusive in-game emblem, an Xbox LIVE Avatar prop, and Avatar Spartan IV armor.
• Specializations: Receive early access to six Specializations to achieve higher ranks in your Spartan career. In addition to gaining access to new ranks, Specializations unlock new customization options.
• The Special Edition of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, the 90-minute extended version of the live-action digital series which tells the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war. Also how Master Chief inspired a young cadet to become a leader aboard the UNSC Infinity.
• It releases on November 6th, 2012.
• The Space core from Portal 2 is in Space. NASA has laser engraved the Space core on to a piece of the a ship they sent up to the International Space Station. Check out the picture below:
  
• Valve's Gabe Newell calls Windows 8 a Catastrophe. Blizzard even agrees with him. Didn't I say before that Windows 8 was going to be bad and be another Vista? I believe I did.
• Far Cry 3 Co-Op trailer:
  
  This might be just enough to make me buy the game.
• A Virtual Reality Headset called Oculus Rift:
  
  Looks pretty sweet right? Looks like Doom 4 and Minecraft maybe using thins soon.

RTX was AWESOME!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Assassin's Creed 3 Rise Trailer:
  
• Halo 4 Forge details released at RTX this past weekend. If you missed it, here is a video of the details:
  
• The Villian Trailer for Black Ops 2:
  
  Yes, that did say that the story was created by David S. Goyer, the co-writer of The Dark Knight Rises. It also said that Trent Reznor was the composer of the game. Yeah, thats right the frontman of Nine Inch Nails and composer for The Social Network (which he won an Oscar for) is the composer for the game!

Don't forget about my Twitter Contest to win Tickets to see The Dark Knight Rises! If I get 1000 Twitter followers by July 20th, 10 lucky people will receive tickets to see The Dark Knight Rises at any showing of their choice.

E3 has made me very busy!

The Video Games news of the week is changing a bit for this week. Since E3 is happening now and ends tomorrow, there will be very little writing and more clips/trailers/teaser of the upcoming Video games. With that said, lets get started:

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive releases on August 21st, 2012 (2 days after my Birthday) for Mac/PC PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers. It will cost $14.99 for which ever version you decide to get. That is actually five dollars less than what Counter-Strike: Source is right now Steam.
• Among the Sleep Trailer:
  
  It looks kind of like a Nightmare through the Eyes of a 2 year old.
• Hitman: Absolution Trailer:
  
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Dawnguard Trailer:
  
  
• Cool Dishonored Gameplay Trailer:
  
  
• Tomb Raider Trailer:
  
  
• Halo 4 Gameplay footage:
  
  
• Battlefield Premium Trailer:
  
  It cost $49.99 and if you are someone like me that hasn't bought any of the expansions, this will be a great buy.
• Dead Space 3 Trailer:
  
• Medal of Honor: Warfighter Gameplay Footage:
  
• Star Wars 1313 Gameplay Footage:
  
• Watch Dogs Gameplay Demo:
  
• ZombiU Trailer for ONLY the Wii U:

BBC, you made a funny!

The gaming news for the week:

• Diablo 3 is the fastest selling PC game in the history of the world. That is kind of a given since gamers have been waiting for it for over 10 years. I am not a fan and I don't think I will ever play it. Sorry, its not my type of game.
• Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will be getting an update soon. In the upcoming 1.7.3 update the main thing that the game will be getting is pistons. 4J Studios is working on it now and they are also working on the 1.8 update or what what people are calling it, Adventure update. They also said that they will try and add as many things from the PC version as possible, but it will not be a direct port of the PC version. Which means that the PC version and the Xbox 360 edition will not end up to be the same game.
• There is a sale on tons of games that is lasting until June 1st. Because We May is in support of independent game developers. They have a sale on a lot of games on different platforms like iOS, Steam, and Android. Here is a video that helps explain a little bit of it:
  
  If you are interested, head to there website:  Because We May
• Minecraft has sold over 9.2 Million combined units on PC, Xbox 360, iOS, and Android devices. Though 6 Million of it came from the PC version.
• There will be a new Star wars game that will be showcased at E3. There is very little word out about it, so I will keep you updated as the story develops.
• If you happen to want to preorder Halo 4, here are some of the bonuses you can get:
  
  
  
   
•  The Xbox 720 is set to have in-game Skype powered video chat. This sounds cool, especially when you are playing in a massive party. MMO's will be played with a little bit more face time. You can see you friends reaction after you knife him in Halo.
• There have been a ton of leaked screenshots form Halo, including: Load outs, new weapons, and multiplayer maps. Head to this website and check them out: Leaked Halo 4 Screenshots
• BBC mistakes the USNC logo from Halo for the logo for the United Nations. Don't believe me? Check out the video below:
  
• John Beiswenger, the author that was suing Ubisoft for similarities between his book Link and the Assassin’s Creed franchise, has decided to drop the Lawsuit. This happened after the back lash from the fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise tormented him to no end. The game is still on its way to an October release and Ubisoft and to pay nothing.

Newly released Trailers:

• The Amazing Spider-Man for PS3 Move:

• Here is the Assassin's Creed III World Premier Gameplay trailer that was unlocked last week:
  
  
• Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is a huge success! It is so much fun to play on the big screen. It has 4 player Co-op on one system. You can also play with up to 8 players on Xbox Live. It has also passed 1 Million downloads and is still going. All that I wish you could do is port your maps from Minecraft for PC and iOS/Android to the Xbox 360 version so that you can play your worlds anywhere. Below is the launch trailer for the game:
  
• Continuation of the first story in this blog about Rovio. They teased a game at the end of their Thank You video.

EA bashes Black Ops 2!

The Gaming news for the week:

• The long awaited Portal 2 DLC is coming out this May. The only bad thing is it only comes out for Mac and PC. On May 8th, if you own Portal 2 on Mac or PC, you can create your own levels and share them with the world with the Perpetual Testing Initiative. I was hoping that they would release it onto the Xbox 360, but since there is no Steam platform on it I would have to live without it.
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 news:
• Comes out for Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 13th, 2012.
• Will be set 13 years in the future
• Will be centered around a single solder that is kind of like Alex Mason in the first one
• First Trailer has been release. Check it out below:

• An Professional CG artist has started work one an animated short film based on the popular game Portal. The short film is titled Companionship and is about a tale of love, loss and cubes. Here are some images from the film:
  
  What do you think?
• Microsoft and 343 Industries are working on a live action 5 part web series called Forward Unto Dawn. There has not been to much information released about this, but it will not just bee an advertisement campaign for Halo 4. Since 343 Industries put out their first bit of live action content, fans went crazy. Now they are getting what they asked for. The 5 episodes will tell the story of how Master Chief inspired a young cadet to become commander of the UNSC Infinity. It will tie into the events of Halo 4 and telling the origins of how the war started between humans and The Covenant. They plan to release the episodes in the weeks leading up to the release of Halo 4 on Machinima and Halo Waypoint.
• Angry Birds Space is the fastest growing mobile game of all time. Its has been downloaded 50 Million times in its first 35 days. That is a lot of data being downloaded. Rovio should be proud with them selves and continue to make high quality content.
• DICE is working on expansions and DLCs to keep Battlefield 3 players happy for another 12 to 18 months. The first DLC is called Close Quarters and adds four new small maps, a new game mode and several new weapons. The Armored Kill DLC will add big maps and new vehicles and will come out this fall. The End Game DLC comes out in the winter, between late 2012 and early 2013, with yet to be announced content.
• Rumor: Half-Life 3 announcement might be coming from this years E3.

Halo 4 looks pretty...Awesome!!!

The Video Game news for the week:

• Conan O’Brien got to visit 343 Industries where they are making Halo 4. He got a behind the scenes look on what they were doing with the game. He also got to voice a character in the game. Check out the video below to know what i'm talking about:
  
• There was a lawsuit filed against Ubisoft recently due to story similarities to John Beiswenger's book Link and the Assassin's Creed franchise. The similarities that are being talked about are historical and religious references, an Animus like device, and a  Abstergo like company. Fans quickly responded in the best way they could think of. They went over to Amazon.com and gave bad reviews to the book. You try and stop a company that has a large fan base and this is what you get.
• Some awesome new screenshot from Halo 4 have been released. They showcase some new stuff including Armor, characters, and settings.Check them out below:

  

  New Armor

  

  Multiplayer Map

  

  Forerunner Campaign

  

  New Grunt      

• Trials Evolution set a huge record on the Xbox Live Arcade this past week. It was downloaded over 100,000 time in one day. It brought on over $1.5 Million in sales on its first day alone. The game being released is part of Microsoft's Arcade Next promotion, which will be releasing another game next week. If it is as popular as Trials Evolution, its gonna create major revenue for Microsoft.
• Popular Youtuber FPS Russia and Activision wanted to show a new toy that will be showing up in the new Call of Duty game. Come check out the Quadrotor:
  
  The new game has been confirmed to be Black Ops 2 by the games website. From what FPS Russia suggests, it may be a game based in the future.
• The Gameplay trailer for Crysis 3 has been released. Check it out below:

Apple wants Half-Life 3 NOW!!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted visiting Valve this week. There is no word on what he did there or what it was about. It could be anything from discussing a next generation console or maybe even getting some inside news on Half-Life 3. Maybe something about his visit will be released soon.
  
• The characters from the popular online show, Red vs. Blue, have announced the release date of Halo 4. Halo 4 is set to release on November 6th of this year. The guys over at Rooster Teeth have been working with 343 Industries for a while now and this gave them a chance to announce a pretty big thing. This actually a pretty good date for this game to be released. Since I have already pre-ordered Assassin's Creed 3 and it comes out on October 30th of this year, it gives me time to beat it before Halo 4 is released.
  
  
• The trailer for Bethesda new game Dishonored has been released. It looks good, but I might need more convincing before I buy it. The game follows Corvo who has been framed of assassinating the  Empress by Lord Regent. The game allows the player to manipulate the world around them while also being able to dart across rooftops, stealth assassinate targets, and use swordplay that allows you to slash enemies throats. Players also get to fire a hand mounted crossbow and cast some pretty powerful spells that allow you to break through windows and doors. To me it looks like a mixture of Assassin's Creed and Bioshock.
  
  
• Here is a trailer for a Star Trek game that is being made:
  
  There hasn't been too much news released about the game, but I can atleast tell you this.The game is supposed to be more like the Uncharted series then the Mass Effect series. The game will have a major co-op aspect and will allow players to play as Spock and Kirk. There is no information yet on how the single player campaign will go though.

Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is: 

QOTD: What is your opinion of Dishonored?

Joel McHale kicks a guy in the balls for Nintendo!

The Video Game news for the week:

• Sony's Smash Bros ripoff is called PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and will be revealed during E3 this year. There is only one confirmation on who will be a character in it, Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. Gamers are hoping for Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series and Kratos from the God of War series. I guess they will have to wait till the reveal at E3 later this year.
  
  
• The logo for Black Ops 2 has been released. It also teases to when the game trailer will be released. Check it out below:
