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:

• 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:
  
• Harry Potter for Kinect:
  
  
• Dead Space 3 Teaser:
  
  
• Tomb Raider Teaser:

Skyrim just got Awesomerer!

Today's bit of Gaming News:

• Half-Life Easter Eggs found in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Check out the pictures down below. 
• Skyrim PC mods are out and some of them are really funny. Here are 2 of my favorites: Skyrim My Little Pony Dragon Mod and (Skyrim) Macho Dragon Mod
• The 1999 mode in BioShock Infinite will challenge ever gaming skill you have and you will die A LOT!
• Rumor: Xbox Live is moving away from Microsoft points. Microsoft thinks it will be a little safer with all of the hacked accounts and stolen money issues they have been having. If this happens it will be a smart idea, putting an actual price on DLCs and avatar items is smart.
• Another Rumor: Rocksteady Studios, the people behind the Batman games, is rumored to be working on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If it is true and is at any caliber as the Batman games, i'm pretty sure that the game will be awesome.
• LittleBigPlanet 2 got some new visitors last week. In the new DLC that was released yesterday new costumes and levels were released around the theme of The Muppets. If you have this game and own a PlayStation 3 this a must own DLC. Check out the Trailer for the DLC here: LittleBigPlanet: The Muppets Premium Level Kit
• LEGO is now developing Minecraft kits. Smart movie by LEGO since there are over 20 Million registered Minecraft users.
• Yet another rumor: The Xbox 720 will be 6 times faster then the 360. Now that everything is in HD its smart to make a console that only runs in HD (thats why I think it will be 6 time faster.) I then expect more and more games that are so clear and good that they look and feel real. Microsoft still has not confirmed this rumor though.
• Apple has sold over 50 Million iOS devices in 3 months. Crazy right, Apple is still the #1 Mobile Gaming device in the world.

Siri Can Rap!

Today's Tech news:

• Google Chrome is the fastest Desktop browser and Mobile Safari on iPad 2 is the fastest of the mobile market.
• Facebook is finally going to allow mobile users to video chat using the Facebook Messenger app. Hopefully Google+ will follow.
• The jailbreak for the Blackberry Playbook just got a funny name. Its called Dingleberry and boy will Larry The Cable Guy be mad when he hears about this!
• Facebook Timeline is pretty cool.
• Google is working on a Siri competitor called Majel.
• Youtube is now on Xbox and has a lot of glitches for me.
• Siri raps and is good at it!
• Steam app for Android is out, i'm still waiting for one for iOS.
• And the reason why this is up so late is because I tried to Jailbreak my iPod as part of the blog today. As you can tell that didn't go over so well. The iPod cord that I have is going shot and I every time I tried I tried to jailbreak it, it would brick. Which happened 5 times at least. So i'm going to keep trying and i'll let you guys know if and when it works.

SKYRIM!!!

Not too much gaming news today thanks to Modern Warfare 3. But there is one game that has WOWed me many times. If you haven't guessed it by now, its Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Have you seen the game footage, IT LOOKS AMAZING. I used to be a hater for these types of game (Haters gonna Hate), but the game looks so amazing I just have to get it. I plan on getting the game as soon as I get my XBox, which should be in the next 2 weeks. I don't mean to geek out, but this game is much higher on my wish list of games then Modern Warfare 3 is. It comes out this Friday and I wish I had an XBox so I would have preordered it.
You heard my opinion on the game, now whats yours? Dont forget to respond to the question of the day, which is:


QOTD: Do you think Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be more popular/ played longer then  Modern Warfare 3?
