The launch trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been released and it is full of nostalgia and new gameplay just for The Phantom Pain We are now officially a week out from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's release on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. Next Tuesday, September 1st we will be giving Kojima Productions' final foray into the Metal Gear franchise before departing Konami and moving on to other things. It will be a sad time but it looks like The Phantom Pain will be bringing us so much joy and "ultimate story" that we can overlook all of that and just pine for the game when not in our hands. The Phantom Pain has looked to be one of those titles that have the ability to last for quite some time even if you don't take part in the online multiplayer aspect of it all. Read More...

A stealthier version of the Rise Of The Tomb Raider demo that was shown off at Gamescom has been released to show combat doesn't have to be used in Rise Of The Tomb Raider If you were like me then you were most likely let down with the first showcase of Rise Of The Tomb Raider during Gamescom. It was claimed to be a stealth gameplay demo just for the show but there was a lot more combat mixed in and a lot less stealth than we should expect in Rise Of The Tomb Raider. It looks like Crystal Dynamics heard or read the outcry there as they have just released a new version of that "stealth" Rise Of The Tomb Raider gameplay footage only this time they really do mean stealth as Lara makes her way through the same area without trying to kill or injure a single person in Rise Of The Tomb Raider. Usually I am all about the killing to get rid of those pesky guards in games like Rise Of The Tomb Raider but that just has never been Lara's style before and more along the lines of Agent 47.

Ten new tracks have been added to Rock Band 4's on disk listing with some obscure bands and other favorites sure to make Rock Band 4 amazing October 6th is getting closer every day and that means Rock Band 4 is getting closer and closer to launch too. We've already had a wide spread of songs revealed for the game from Harmonix and today we have a few more. Ten more Rock Band 4 songs to be exact and these of course are going to be on the disc and not DLC tracks. This puts at about 44 songs on the Rock Band 4 disc by my count and that is ignoring all of the DLC we will have to carry over to the PS4 and Xbox One when that release date finally comes.

A Lot Has Gone On This Week. Here's A Recap Of What We Covered In Video Games Another week in video games down and many, many more to go. Even if this week was a bit on the roller coaster ride that we usually use to describe weeks that occur before major conventions. PAX Prime is coming up so I am sure that all of the other big announcements and reveals will happen then. That's not saying we didn't have some great stuff for Until Dawn, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Mad Max this week. Hells, we also had one of the best announcements for Kingdom Heart III with Big Hero 6 getting its time in the sun when that game finally hits the market. Read More...

A new update for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight has been detailed and it looks like it will be a few more weeks until a true status update If you are one of those PC gamers out there still waiting for Batman: Arkham Knight to be playable or purchasable again then this is an update for you. It's not the best of updates as Warner Bros. states that there will be a few more weeks before the current patch that just went into testing will be issued out for current owners of Batman: Arkham Knight.

Looks like the rumors from March are now true as PlayStation is allowing members to sign up to beta test new firmware for the PS4 Way back in March of this year rumors started springing up that PlayStation users would be getting a firmware beta program for the PS4. Nothing was concrete and set in stone back then as this was all based on a few emails and screen shots that could have been faked. Well it turns out they were not faked as right now PS4 owners who want to give new firmware a try can sign up to beta test on their systems. Because this is apparently a thing that PS4 owners have wanted so their Xbox One buddies would stop having something to gloat about. Read More...

A new promotional video for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been released teasing that we will get the answers we've waited decades for It's a little crazy to think that we've been playing Metal Gear Solid games for almost thirty years. Twenty eight to be exact and it has been one hell of a ride that Kojima has taken us on over the years. I guess that will make the ending of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain much more emotional as it will be an end to a rather lengthy run. Konami has said they want to keep the franchise rolling but The Phantom Pain will be the end of the franchise with the man who started it all. Read More...

A promotional video for LEGO Dimensions has just been released and it features new LEGO Dimensions gameplay and a cartoon short just for Scooby and the gang The worlds don't seem to end in LEGO Dimensions as now we get to see Scooby and the gang in action for the game.

Now we get to see the two most famous of the Mystery Inc. team in action as imagined by TT Games in LEGO Dimensions. Read More...

During the D23 expo it was announced that Kingdom Hearts III will be getting a land based on Big Hero 6 as well as the cast of characters to mix into the Kingdom Hearts universe If you have been holding out for some huge news for Kingdom Hearts III out of D23 then you are kind of in luck as we have some new news. Nothing in way of new gameplay or new features that Disney is going to have to share but it looks like we have another world to add to the announcement of Tangled. In this case it looks like Big Hero 6 is breaking its way into world of Kingdom Hearts and adding to the growing list. Read More...

Batman: Arkham Knight is getting a few updates for the Season Pass DLC and it looks like we are getting Tim Burton's Batmobile and the Tumbler in the future Batman: Arkham Knight has been out for a while now and there have been some good updates for it so far. Last I heard the PC version was still having issues over the PS4 and Xbox One versions but that is not why we are here today. What we are here for is the fact that there is a new batch of DLC being pumped out for Batman: Arkham Knight and it looks like we are getting some amazing additions in the way of skins and Riddler Caves. In this instance we are getting the Batmobile from the 1989 Tim Burton films. Read More...

A new story trailer for the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has been released as well as a few of the new additions to all the versions of Uncharted in the collection Looks what seems to have been unearthed here. It looks like we have a story trailer for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for those who may not have played any of the Uncharted titles before and want a crash course. It could also before any of those fans out there who are looking to pick up Bluepoint Games' version of the Uncharted franchise on the PS4 and want to have a quick refresher before it launches. Although as it will be hitting the PS4 on October 9th here it would seem like you have plenty of time to replay the original versions of Uncharted before the big, bulky version that is the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection lands. Read More...

Mad Max also gets the interactive trailer treatment to help show all of the different angles we can take when tackling missions in Mad Max Technically this new Mad Max trailer landed near the end of last week but it didn't get any traction, pun intended, until now as it seems like the week of interactive trailers based on how it has started. That is completely right if you guessed it. We have a new Mad Max interactive trailer to show off all of the madness that awaits us in the Wasteland when Avalanche Studios' new title on September 1st. Read More...

A new gameplay video for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 has been released to prep everyone for the Beta and it shows off the new movement mechanics in Black Ops 3 With the multiplayer beta for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 almost here and only a few tidbits of what we will get to experience in it out as of now I'd say it is high time for something new. This is just what we are about to get although I am sure that this is not what fans holding out for the beta are hoping for as we now have a tutorial on the new modes of movement in Black Ops 3 from Treyarch. There is going to be a lot more than just running and jumping here so I guess we needed to have a full on tutorial showcasing it all instead of the maps and modes for the Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta.

Hours of gameplay for Mad Max was shown off in a developer's livestream of the game and it shows off a lot of combat and the upgrading system for Mad Max If you want to see a lot of new Mad Max gameplay then you came to the right place. At least you came to the right place today as if you have been as overly excited for Mad Max as I have been you would have been able to see all of this yesterday when Avalanche Studios held a live stream event to show it all off. So you'll only be about a day behind everyone else but at least you are going to get to see the open world of Mad Max in all of its glory as well as a few other things that Warner Bros. haven't allowed to be shown until now.
