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.

• Star Wars 1313 Gameplay trailer:
  
• Halo 4 UNSC Weapons:
  
• Destiny vs. The No - DayZ:

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!

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.

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.

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.

Official PROTOTYPE 2: RADNET Edition Content

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

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.
