Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games Thus concludes yet another fun week in video games. It was all over the place from the look of things but we were there every step of the way to make sure that we were able to cover everything. Or at least as much as we could get to during the week. It was sad to see that Styx was hit with a delay but getting to try out Outlast 2 for the next month made up for it all. Read More...

Mafia 3 A new trailer for Mafia 3 has been released and this new Mafia 3 video comes with a new Ice Cube song to get stuck in your head Tomorrow (10/7) is the big day as Mafia 3 will finally be in all of our homes and ready for us to take up the streets and bring down the Italian Mob. There has been a whole lot of videos and updates for the game out of Hangar 13 since its first announcement and now it is hard to believe that the day is finally here. That is not why you are here though as in celebration of Mafia 3 hitting the PS4, Xbox One, and PC tomorrow, 2K Games has a new trailer for us and it looks to give a great overview of the game as well as a nice new song from Ice Cube mixed right in. Something written just for the game even though we don't get much new information out of anything here. Read More...

Styx Delays have hit Styx: Shards Of Darkness until next year but with it comes a new look at Styx and some of the upgrades that will be coming with this game It looks like my worries were true as it looks like Styx: Shards Of Darkness has been delayed until Q1 of 2017. I thought this might happen as we got closer to the original timeline that Cyanide Studios wanted to hit but as we had not heard much on the development of the game before now it was looking like a delay was inevitable. Not to tragic of news for a lot of gamers I know as Styx has been more of an underground kind of game already, pun intended, but as the team has been upgrading to the Unreal 4 engine for this game they and Focus Home Interactive though the delay was needed and I am going to side on this for sure. Now that the downer news is over here, let's move onto a bit of the new stuff for Styx: Shards Of Darkness. Read More...

New World Three new games have been announced, New World, Breakaway, And Crucible, from Amazon Games Studios and all three have a description and videos for New World, Breakaway, And Crucible It's not every day that we get three titles announced from one developer but TwitchCon is a fun thing and now we have New World, Breakaway, and Crucible to look at. All three of which are in the works from Amazon Game Studio and headed to the PC at some time in the near future. The most interesting part about New World, Breakaway, and Crucible is that it looks like all three will have some pretty intense Twitch add-ins but the full details are still not completely defined just yet.

Paragon A new hero for Paragon is coming and this one brings some great sword work to Paragon among many other things Tomorrow marks another day and another hero coming to Paragon for all of us to learn how to master and destroy everything else with. As Epic Games continues to build up the roster to crazy levels for the game we get what feels like another character we've seen before on the surface added into the fray. Of course I could be wrong as looks can be deceiving but we won't know until the next Paragon update goes live on October 4th for the PS4 and PC version of the game. Kwang is part of the free content that we will forever be getting as it seems so we can rest assured there at least. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games One more week in the world of video games is in the bag yet again. Oddly this week started out a bit slow on the news side of things and then it seemed like everything exploded onto the scene shortly after. We had plenty of Mafia 3 to cover yet again and other, smaller video games like Sundered and Here They Lie get mixed into it all. Not to mention a review for the latest episode of Batman from Telltale. Read More...

Vampyr A few new screenshots for Vampyr have been released and with those come a few updates on how combat in Vampyr will actually work We've seen the combat in Vampyr a bit in motion already but there wasn't any real explanation on how it all plays or why we need to do anything other than the amazing supernatural attacks that we've seen Jonathan do. I think this is part and partial to Dontnod not really showing much of the game since it was officially announced but also, as I am sure, Focus Home Interactive wanted them to hold off so they could hype the game a bit more. Thankfully that hype is on us right now as we have a better explanation on just how Vampyr's combat system is going to work and mix into the core game in general. Read More...

Mafia 3 Another gameplay video for Mafia 3 has been released and this one shows off the various forms of combat Mafia 3 will give us One of the key points in Mafia 3 was of course all of the crazy combat that we've seen since the first announcement of the game. It has been showcased many times by Hangar 13 over the last few months and apparently it looks like 2K Games thinks that we may still not fully grasp what we are going to get to do in the game. I know I was pretty set on what Mafia 3 was going to bring us in terms of combat on October 7th here but maybe some of you have missed out so far. That or maybe some of you just want to see some badass combat gameplay. Read More...

Gears Of War 4 A new Gears Of War 4 video has been posted and this time we get to see the first twenty minutes of Gears Of War 4 in action before launch October 11th is almost here and that means that Gears Of War 4 is also almost here. I'm sure that The Coalition is starting to freak a bit as the date looms ever closer but at this point all they have to do is sit and wait to see how well it sells on the Xbox One and Windows 10 platforms. I'm going to guess rather well personally. Given the nature of the beast that is Gears Of War 4 though it looks like they aren't going to just kick back and wait as now they are here with a nice long bit of gameplay. Read More...

Video Games The list of free video games hitting the PlayStation and Xbox systems in October has been released and there are some great video games included in the mix A new month is almost on us here with October and that means new video games that we are going to get for free. Well video games that you will get for free if you are part of the PlayStation Plus or Xbox Gold services. If you are then you may be in for a treat as the list of titles going live starting next month is here and we have it for you. Again we get to expand out titles on the Xbox One and PS4 without needing to make any extra spends at our local stores. Read More...

Minecraft We sit down and review Minecraft: Story Mode — A Journey's End?. This is the final episode of Telltale's take on Mojang's famed Minecraft franchise. Here's our review on how they did He we go with the final leg of Minecraft: Story Mode as the eight episode of the IP has been released and we can see how this story is finally going to end. It has been one trek for us with Telltale Games and Mojang's franchise as we were given a story to a game that generally doesn't have one set up. Even with all of the Minecraft celebrities and all that there hasn't been one concise story until now. Read More...

Batman We sit down and review Batman: The Telltale Series — Children Of Arkham. This is the second episode of Telltale's take on the Batman franchise. Here's our review on how they did The time has come and the second episode of Batman: The Telltale Series is here and we get to see if the momentum from the first episode keeps going or not. Telltale Games did knock it out of the part with the first episode for me but with the chance that the story could change drastically or the gameplay could falter at any episode there is a chance. None the less this should be when all hell breaks loose in the story and builds toward the true climax in some way just as all Batman comics, games, and films usually do by this point. Read More...

Sundered A new title, Sundered, has been announced and Sundered looks to bring back some of the great Metroid and Castlevania platforming to us all In the mix of all the larger titles that are being announced and shown off here as of late it is a bit refreshing to see a smaller title like Sundered get the full announcement and everything. This would be the follow up title from Thunder Lotus Games here that brings us back into the Metroid and Castlevania style of gameplay all with some amazing hand-drawn art. I'm not talking that Sundered has hand-drawn art here to look at in terms of concept but that the game is going to have that look and feel in the final game when it launches in 2017 for the PS4, Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Read More...

Mafia 3 Another fifteen minutes of Mafia 3 gameplay has been shown at Gamescom and TGS and we have that Mafia 3 gameplay right here for you In just about two weeks we are going to be getting Mafia 3 on our PS4, Xbox One, or PC. It's crazy to think that the date is approaching that fast and I bet Hangar 13 is going a little mad with anticipation given the October 7th release date. Of course that also means more of 2K Games promoting Mafia 3 as they have been for the last few months and showing off little bits of gameplay. Some small and just for the web and some rather huge for gaming conventions and showcases. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games Thus concludes our week of video games. Another solid week and not so many bad bits of news and delays. Of course that doesn't mean it was all happy and bouncy but in the world of video games that never seems the case. Thankfully we had some solid things like a new Jason and Counselor for Friday The 13th, the next episode of King's Quest finally coming, and all of the death dealing coming to Dishonored 2. A lot of videos and a lot of fun for the week and just the way it needs to be as we press on into the review season here. Read More...
