• An interview with the Game Director of Assassin's Creed 3 gives us some more insight of the game:

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.

• 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.

You kill me once, shame on you...

The Gaming news for the week:

• The Angry Birds franchise has passed over 1 billion downloads. Angry Birds Space gave the franchise the push it needed to make its mark. Here is the message Rovio sent out to all of the games players:
  
  Looks like they will be going outside of the Angry Bird Franchise for their next game.
• 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. Rovio has announced that they have bought the rights to a game called  Casey’s Contraptions and will turning it into their own game called Amazing Alex. Amazing Alex is a Rube Goldberg device building game that looks like a lot of fun. Check out the gameplay trailer below:
  
• DICE has announced they will have a Double XP Weekend for Battlefield 3. This is really late surprise since that game was released last October. They have yet to announce when the Double XP weekend will happen. I will keep you posted as the story develops.
• Halo 4 Box Art has been reveled! Check it out below:

The World Needs You!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Valve has announced that they will not be announcing anything new at E3 this year. They state that they will be talking about stuff we have already heard of. They are talking about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2. I hope that is just a marketing ploy to keep peoples eye of them while they work on Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. I would be happy hearing about either game.
• After much speculation of who will Assume the Da Vinci Role in Assassin's Creed 3, it has been confirmed that Benjamin Franklin will not play that role. From an interview, Ubisoft states that Benjamin Franklin just wasn't that type of inventor. I agree, but there needs to be somebody that makes the cool stuff for Conner. Also, I would find it funny if that added a character named Johnny Tremain in the game.
• For anyone who wants to see Microsoft's E3 press release, I have good news for you. Microsoft has announced that they will be streaming it live on to your Xbox 360 and on Spike TV on Monday June 4th at 12:30 PST. Even though Microsoft says they will not be announcing the next generation console, it will still be packed with cool stuff.
• Here is the official cover of Madden NFL 13 with Calvin Johnson:
  
• There still might be hope for a game for The Avengers. Ubisoft just registered an new domain for The Avengers that suggest that they are working on a game for the Box Office Hit. Until Ubisoft confirms it, I would not worry to much about the game.
• Here is the announcement trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online:
  
  The only bad news is that it will only be for Mac and PC players.
• New Dead Space 3 rumors have been released. Issac Clarke will have have a new companion that will help guide him through the Campaign. There are a few rumors that suggest that there will be drop-in/drop-out Co-Op for the game. There also might be improved mobility in the game.
• Here is something you Assassin's Creed 3 fans might enjoy:
  
  If you head on over to this link here, you can help unlock the World Gameplay Premiere for the game. I've done my part, now its your turn!

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.

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:
  If this is right, be expecting the trailer on here when it is released.
  
  
• Nintendo hires Joel McHale to do a commerical for the 3DS and this is what they got:
  
  It made me laugh and I liked it, but I still won't buy it.
  
  
• There are lists out on the web of the most anticipated games to be released this year.
  Here is the list of the most anticipated Xbox 360 titles:
• A lot of Screen shots from Halo 4 have been released. Since 18 screen shots wont fit on this blog here is a link to a website that has all 18: All Games Beta
  Here is some more details about what the game will offer:
• Spartan Ops will pit you and 3 other players against enemy forces in the game. 
• A new multiplayer game mode called Regicide has been announced. Players will fight against each other, with the top player being called the King. For every kill that the King gets, their bounty will go up. This makes their death worth a pretty penny for anyone who kills him.

• 343 Industries teases a multiplayer map for Halo 4 with some concept art. Check it out below:
  
  
  
• If you didn't happen to use Google Maps on April 1st, you missed something pretty cool. Google took Google Maps and converted it into an 8-bit version. It was a funny flash back and made me laugh. Check out the commercial for it:
  
  
  
• Rumor: Apple might be working on a physical controller for for their iOS devices. This might happen due to Apple wants more hardcore gamers for their devices. Since the Apple stills holds the ownership of the of the #1 mobile gaming device. They also might be working on their own gaming console.
  
• There is video out there of Kinect Star Wars where Han Solo dances to a song called Han Solo. I watched and my whole body ached. It like trying to watch the Star Wars prequels with out wanting to hate George Lucas. If you really want to see it, you can find it on the internet some where.

Halo 4 will not have a beta?!

The Gaming news for the week:

• George Washington gets a makeover and a Pepper gun in BioShock Infinite. Don't believe me, check out the video below:
  
  
  
• Assassins Creed 3 is the perfect place for new players of the series to start. Developers say that if you haven't played the previous 4 games you are going to miss anything since the game is about a new assassin. I am happy to hear that since I  don't know if I will be able to catch up on the series before the new one is released this October.
  
  
• Madden NFL 13 is starting their cover athlete vote. It is going to be the largest one yet. They are letting players vote for a Offensive and a Defensive players from each team. That adds up to 64 people to vote on. Below is the plays of each team that can be voted on:
  
  Who do you think will win the Honor to be on the cover of the game and take on the famed Madden curse?
  
  
• For those of you who are waiting for a beta for Halo 4, you better stop waiting.  Halo Franchise Development Director Frank O’Connor says that they are not wasting anytime working  on a beta. They want the game to be the best it possibly can be so they are spending the time it would take them to make a beta and just using that time to make the game better. He also says that you can make your own custom armor,  The Covenant will return(but they are the least of your problems), and they have not decided on a specific release date yet.
  
  
• Rovio Mobile is getting smart with their advertisement of Angry Birds Space. Check out their latest NASA announcement below:

Assassin’s Creed 3 has a Release Date!

The Video Game News for the week:

• Rumor: The Xbox 720 might have a controller that is a cross between the Sony Vita and the Wii U controller. In other words it will probably be a touch screen remote.

• Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the heart pounding fear based game, might have a sequel planned. On a  Frictional Games website http://nextfrictionalgame.com/ there is a picture that is actually a link. When you click on the picture it takes you too a Google map with a pin located somewhere in the United Kingdom. Which could suggest that the sequel takes place in in that location.

• Rockstar Games is still debating on doing a sequel to the popular 1940's crime based video game, LA Noire. Gamers were hurt with the firsts announcement, when they were waiting for a Grand Theft Auto 4 sequel. But now that the sequel for that has been announced it means a new game could be a possibility.

• A Superman game might be in production soon. Geoff Johns over at DC Comics is talking about finding a company like Rocksteady that could do an Superman game and do it well. Right now they do not want to give the game to Rocksteady since they have done Batman and have done it very well. If the game for the Amazing Spider-man movie is good enough, I think that Beenox would be a good candidate for this job. Or if  Remedy Entertainment is up for it I would love to see them take a whack at it!
  

• Assassin’s Creed 3 has a release date set for October 30, 2012. This will end the series and more rumors are out about where the final Chapter of Desmond Miles will take place. Some say during the American Revolution, some say in China, and some even say during the The Russian Revolution. The Developers have been working on this one game for 3 years and they are pushing it to get it done in the next 6 months. All I have to say is I can't wait. I'm new to the series, I just got the original for Christmas, so I have to catch up by the time this is released.

Facebook: Where games go to die!

The Gaming new for this week:

• Rumor: Xbox 720 will support Blu-Ray, but not used games.

• Netflix will never offer video games rentals...until they change again. Looks like GameFly is still number one!

EA Syndicate remake:

• This is probably old to you guys, but I just saw it. For those of you who havent seen it, here it is:

The Avengers - Leaked Gameplay Footage

• Ubisoft' says Assassin’s Creed 3 will be the biggest game of the franchise. The main Character will be  Desmond Miles and it may take place completely in modern day. Yet there are a few rumors that the game will take place during the American Revolution. It will end the series, but what will Ubisoft do after that? What will their next big series be about?

• Modern Warfare 3 sucks more and more each day. The COD Elite maps are only available to the user that downloads them. Which means you can not play Co-op on these maps. I'm so glad I don't own that game.

• Angry Birds is heading to Facebook and you know what that means. Yep, it will be over played, made money off of, and your friends will bother you non-stop with their stupid requests to play with them. It is to be released on February 14th aka Valentines Day.

• A screenshot of The Amazing Spider-Man Video Game shows little and a lot at the same time. It shows you the environment and Spidey's Attire. It also hints/teases at a Free Roam ability. Which, as you know, hasn't been in a Spider-Man game since the game for Spider-Man 2 was released. Beenox knows what they are doing so lets hope its the best Spider-Man game ever made.
  

• Half-Life fans are getting very angry and it seems Valve won't like them when they are angry. Thats right, the Steam Group for Half-Life is full of Angry Nerds and is growing constantly. Gamers are mad about Valve's lack of communication with their fans on news about Half-Life 3. They are planning an event where over 30,000 gamers will get on and play Half-life 2 to get the attention of Valve. To me, I would rather let Valve take their time to get every thing perfect (since I still have not bought Orange Box for my Xbox 360.) I think this is a publicity for the game so it will be the biggest title to come from Valve.

• Rumor: Halo 4 may be reveled by the end of this month.
