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:

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:
  
  They are also talking about releasing the game on the recently popular PlayStation Vita.
• If you have wanted to try Star Wars: The Old Republic without paying for it, you are in luck. BioWare is going to be having a free trail weekend this weekend. The  Weekend Pass Free Trial starts this Thursday, March 15 at 12:01 AM CT and runs until  Monday, March 19 at 2:00 AM CT.
