No Xbox 720 this year!

The Video Game news of the week:

• Skyrim Kill Cams:
  
  This came with the 1.5 update through Steam. Soon it will arrive on all platforms.
  
  
• Microsoft has confirmed that they will not be launching a new Xbox at E3 2012. My guess is that they are still working out more bugs and are really trying to get everything right. I know they don't want a repeat of the Xbox 360 failure.
  
  
• There has been a mod released for Battlefield 3 and it takes you back to the past. It changes the audio of the game to mane it sound like a old NES game. I think this pretty cool, it makes dying in the game fun. Check it out below:
  
  
  
• The trailer for TellTale's game The Walking Dead has been released. It was released with IGN's Up At Noon web show. Check it out below:
  
  The actual trailer doesn't start until around 8:50, but the whole episode is pretty good.
  
• Just in case you didn't look cool enough wearing your large head set while playing you Xbox, Microsoft has filed a patent for gaming glasses and a gaming helmet. They will be used as image displays so that you can multitask while gaming. They might also be used for virtual reality. Check them out below:

Star Wars Xbox? Skyrim mod from Valve?

The Video Game news for this week:

• Rumor: A Battlefield 3 DLC may be dropping this week. Might be called All American, including maps that look like New York City, Miami, New Jersey and San Francisco.

• Sony to change PSN, PlayStation Network, account into SEN, Sony Entertainment Network, accounts. I twas announced by email that the change was only cosmetic and will not affect PSP player.

• Bethesda released the Creation kit for Skyrim fans yesturday. I have not seen it personaly, but I hear that it is awesome. It is free to download via Steam. This is only for PC users, but you can do some crazy stuff on there. Since Valve hosted the released they created a mod for the game that stars a notable Portal 2 character. The mod is called Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1, if that doesn't give the character away then you are not a real Valve fan.

• Rumor: Star Wars: Battlefront 3 has a few rumors out there after job postings from a certain developer may hint at the title.

• EA will be announcing Medal of Honor 2 this March with high hopes of huge sales.

• LucasArts drops the release date for Kinect Star Wars, which will be released on April 3rd. They also announced the  Kinect Star Wars which includes  the console designed to look like R2-D2, includes the Kinect device, and a C-3PO-themed controller. Check out the bundle below:

• Activision announces the sequel to Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure which is Skylanders Giants. It is aimed at kids and their parents. If is as popular as the original title, it will be a big release this Fall.

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.

Internet Black Out killed this Blog!

Since the Internet is pretty much down today, I couldn't access any of my sources for the news today. So I trolled Youtube to find some good videos involving Gaming. Check them out below:


Skyrim : 2012

Look, Up in the Sky!

The gaming news for today:

• To the people that say PC gaming is dying or dead, you can go chock yourself with a wireless controller! PC gaming is still alive and kicking. This past week Steam, the PC digital distribution platform of games, just passed a huge mark. They had over 5 Million people logged into Steam and playing a game. I bet you can guess what game it was. Yep, Skyrim!
• Well Factor 5 was working on a Man of Steel version of Batman: Arkham Asylum/Arkham City, but it was cancelled before anything could happen. They have released what some of the characters would look like. To me it would have been a decent game if it was any way like a superman version of Batman: Arkham City. I'll post a picture of what Superman would have look like at the bottom of the page.
• If you are not watching CES, you should be. Sony announced a new portable platform called The  PlayStation Vita and man does it seem cool for a portable platform. Thats all i'm going to say now, but Friday will be my CES overview. I will be talking about everything I love seeing.
• Activision has plans to release another Call of Duty game this year. From the domains they have registered many believe it to be Black Ops 2. Then again, they do own the domains for Black Ops 2 through 6. I don't think a dying series like Call of Duty can last that long. Just saying!

QOTD: Do you think they should make a Superman game like the most recent Batman games? Would it be as good?

P.S. Video game review will be up as soon as I finish watching Moneyball.

Fun filled day of gaming news!

The Gaming news of the day:

• The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is now the number 3 game on Xbox Live. It beat out Battlefield 3 and is doesn't even have any multi-player aspect to the game.
• The Lord of the Rings could be the next series to be made into a Lego Game.
• Popular Youtuber Freddie Wong made a Video about what you can only do in Battlefield 3. Check it out here.
• Here is a 9 minute Fan film for Left 4 Dead.
• Rocksteady released a Cheat code for Batman: Arkham City that allows you to use the alterniate Batman skins in your first play through. To enter the cheat code, go to Arkham City’s main menu and press Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down. A sound will be made when enter it right, and then you can select the skin of your choice. I entered the code right and got the audio confirmation, but I was not able to select the skin. Let me know if you guys try it and it works.
• Star Wars: The Old Republic could have been a Dark Tower or Game of Thrones MMO. BioWare tossed around the ideas, but eventually went with Star Wars: The Old Republic.
• Nintendo to release Wii U in the later half of this year. Rumors suggest it will be as powerful as the Xbox 360.
• Star Wars: The Old Republic may go free to play, but my computer is still too weak and old to run it.
• Star Wars Battlefront 3 is now in development. Kinda funny since I just bought the original for under $3.
• Sony, EA, and Nintendo are no longer supporting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). They fear that the repercussions from fans will do major damages.
• Portal 2 is Game of the Year!!!
• Epic Mickey 2 is rumored for Xbox 360 and PS3. Hopefully it is as good as the first one!
• Star Wars: The Old Republic might be coming to Mac.
• Only in Battlefield 3 Video Community Challenge

SKYRIM!!!

Not too much gaming news today thanks to Modern Warfare 3. But there is one game that has WOWed me many times. If you haven't guessed it by now, its Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Have you seen the game footage, IT LOOKS AMAZING. I used to be a hater for these types of game (Haters gonna Hate), but the game looks so amazing I just have to get it. I plan on getting the game as soon as I get my XBox, which should be in the next 2 weeks. I don't mean to geek out, but this game is much higher on my wish list of games then Modern Warfare 3 is. It comes out this Friday and I wish I had an XBox so I would have preordered it.
You heard my opinion on the game, now whats yours? Dont forget to respond to the question of the day, which is:


QOTD: Do you think Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be more popular/ played longer then  Modern Warfare 3?
