    CD Projekt Red showed off an absolutely beautiful trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It shows off the dynamic open-world that gamers will be traversing as they take Geralt of Rivia on his last adventure. There are so many things to admire and see in this trailer that is really is worth more than one viewing. The incredibly detailed environments, the fantasy inspired enemies and the music….damn, that music.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases in 2014 on Xbox One and PS4.

    EA basically went into my dreams yesterday during their press conference and decided to grant them.

    They FINALLY announced a new Mirror’s Edge coming to next-gen consoles. The game will not be a sequel, but a reboot of the franchise that will tell Faith’s origin story. I honestly don’t care if it is a sequel, a prequel, or a side-story of Faith having to get to a cross-town market to pick up some cantaloupes. It is more Mirror’s Edge.

    The hours I spent killing Ewoks and suicide flying fighters into starships in Star Wars: Battlefront I & II are easily some of the best times I had as a gamer. So it was with enormous raindrop like tears and arms wide open that I watched the teaser trailer for the new Star Wars: Battlefront like a long, lost love had returned home and things were going to be alright.

    Am I over selling this a bit? God I wish I was because it would be less embarrassing.

    Get ready to beat the living hell out of your favorite childhood characters again. Nintendo revealed a 2014 release date for Super Smash Bros. on both 3DS and Wii U.

    The usual suspects are all here. Mario, Link, Donkey Kong and will be joined by Mega Man and Villager from Animal Crossing. Past Brawl fighters have been as varied as Snake from Metal Gear and Sonic so there is no telling who else will be added to the fight list before release.

    Check out the first trailer for the brawler below.

    ZeniMax Online is bringing The Elder Scrolls Online to both the PS4 and the Xbox One in Spring 2014. The announcement was made tonight at the Sony press conference and also said that PS4 owners will have access to the beta for the game before anyone else due to a new agreement with Sony.

    This is insanely great news for people like me who don’t have a quality PC to run the game like I would want.

  • PS4 Will Play Used Games And Have No Online Restrictions

    To the insane applause of the crowd attending the Sony press conference, Jack Tretton announced that the PS4 will support all used game for the next-gen console and also will not require any kind of internet connection to play game discs.

    This is a direct kick in the taint to Microsoft, who has been in damage control since announcing their restrictions for the Xbox One. One would think with how strong Sony brought it tonight and how the gaming community is reacting to Sony’s news, Microsoft might need to decide a shift in strategy before too much ground is lost.

    Sony officially unveiled their Playstation 4 console to the world tonight and it certainly has a new…slant on home consoles.

    Yeah, I went there.

    Not only was the look of the console a bit of a surprise, but so was the announced price: $399. Yep, a full $100 cheaper than the Xbox One. We will have much more thoughts on how Sony mopped the floor with their competition later on.

  • Killer Instinct Is Back!!!

    Damn you, Microsoft. Damn you, all of you. I went into the Microsoft press conference hard pressed that I was going to wait to get an Xbox One and you had to go and throw Killer Instinct in my face.

    RIGHT IN MY FACE!

    I have very few weak spots as a gamer in my hard heart, but Killer Instinct is definitely one of them. The 30 second video has KI stalwarts Jago, Glacius and Sabrewulf putting out the combos on each other with ferocity. I got goosebumps when I heard the ever familiar ULLTRAAA COMMMMBOOOO. And as we all know, goosebumps are akin to tears for a nerd.

    Killer Instinct releases this fall only on Xbox One.

  • Dead Rising 3 Gameplay Trailer

    Capcom is revisiting the zombie genre once again, only this time (unlike Resident Evil), it looks like people are actually excited about more Dead Rising. The trailer shows the new open-world on the Xbox One exclusive as new hero, Nick, makes his way through the zombie hordes.

    The game is true to Dead Rising with the ability to use almost anything as a weapon as well use your duct tape skills and create such mash-ups as a sledgehammer attached to an electric saw.

    Yeah, that moment when Nick threw that bastard at a zombie and clean cut him in half? Sold.

    Dead Rising will release this fall only on Xbox One.

    You didn’t think Microsoft was going to have all of these next-gen games and leave out their most popular franchise did you?

    The first trailer for Halo 5 shows a mysterious figure cloaked and making their way through a desert until an earthquake stops them in their tracks. A Forerunner ship makes its way out of the sand as Master Chief stands there, fearless, looking rather Master Chief-y.

    Halo 5 will release in 2014 for Xbox One.
