• 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.

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

  

  Forerunner Campaign

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.

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.
