    Questions like:
    -Who will Michael Fassbender play?
    -Which Assassin will be in it?
    -Will it be a new Assassin?
    -What time period will the main amount of the story take place?
    The list goes on and on.

If you didn't watch the original Star Trek TV series you would not know who he is. He was in the third episode of the series title Where No Man Has Gone Before. That episode was about the Enterprise crew discovering the log of a long-lost ship. Two crew members transform into beings of immense psychic ability. One of which is Kirk’s longtime friend Gary Mitchell. These new powers corrupt Mitchell, and force Kirk and Spock to strand him on a remote planet. Mitchell causes problem and forces Kirk to kill him to save the universe.

    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.

    • 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:

    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
      Halo 4 Screenshots Forerunner Campaign
      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.

    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?
