Assassin’s Creed New gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Origins is here and it shows off just how combat in Assassin’s Creed Origins will play out based on your current level There are a whole lot of changes coming to the franchise with Assassin’s Creed Origins. We are getting a new leveling and weapons system. We are getting character levels and skill trees. We are also get the ability to traverse the entire map of the game right from the start of it all which is something fairly new with all of Ubisoft's open-world titles as of late. Read More...

God Of War New concept art for God Of War has been released to show off some new looks for Kratos, Atreus, Enemies, and the world of God Of War Update More God Of War concept art is released If you are like me at all then you are desperately hoping to see or hear anything new for the upcoming God Of War title. There is still no solid release date outside of 2018 for the game and Santa Monica Studio has yet to full update us on all of the changes we can expect in the game in terms of gameplay. We can make a lot of assumptions based on all of the trailers and videos we have already seen for God Of War but it is always nice to have something a bit more concrete. Read More...

Shadow Of War A new trailer for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War shows off some of the different ways we will be able to interact with the Orcs of Shadow Of War By now you have most likely heard of or experienced the Nemesis System that will be coming back for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War. It was one of the main gameplay features in Shadow Of Mordor if you are completely new to the titles that Monolith Productions has brought us over the years. Anyways, if you are still not in the know about how it could play out, there is a new trailer for Shadow Of War to give you a feeling for how it could play out and just what action you can take to create a great ally or a great nemesis. Pretty much any enemy can be affected by you and can drastically alter the way the story and game plays out. Read More...

Shadow Of War Another tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War has been shown off and now we have to look out for the Marauders in Shadow Of War among others The next tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War is up and ready for us to check out. It looks like we may be getting a new one each week leading up to October 10th when the game lands on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC at this rate. That is of course if Monolith Productions has crafted that many different factions of Orcs to thwart our progress in the game. That would put us at a total of eight different tribes in Shadow Of War when all is said and done and that does not seem like too tall of an order. Read More...

Assassin’s Creed More gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Origins is out there and it gives us a better look at how large the world of Assassin’s Creed Origins will be A whole lot of information and impressions for Assassin’s Creed Origins seemed to have flooded out of Gamescom with many sounding based on the similar demo shown off in the recent past for the game. I am not saying this is a bad thing here at all, but this is what Ubisoft has been bringing around so everyone can have a chance to give it all a play before October 27th when it hits the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, during the most recent event, we did get to see more of the inner machinations and scheming that will be going on with the power players in Assassin’s Creed Origins all to drive the story a bit 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 on the site this week Another fine week of video games in the bag and there was still so much that we did not get a chance to cover this week. I guess that is what having another huge gaming event like Gamescom will do to us all when we are just trying to share it all. I mean, we had a lot of updates and news for Shadow Of War this week and a continued update for South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Not to mention some other great video games getting the announcement like Biomutant and Jurassic World Evolution. Read More...

Secret Of Mana It looks like Secret Of Mana is getting a remaster, but this is not just a Secret Of Mana with better sprites. It is remaster with full 3D & voice overs If you were hoping for even more blasts from the past that have the Square Enix stamp on it, then get ready as it looks like Secret Of Mana is now heading to the PS4, PS Vita, and PC on February 15th of 2018. Yes, this game from 1993 is getting a remastered version for those platforms, but the interesting thing here is that it is going to be a fully 3D revamp for the game and not just one with updated sprites and textures. Yes, we are getting Secret Of Mana in 3D and with voice-overs to go along with it. Read More...

Shadow Of War A new tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War is here to grind us up and use our blood to grease their machines in Shadow Of War We have seen one of the new Orc factions for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War already, so here we go with yet another. These are new here for the game and really just seem to make sure that there is more going on with each of these potential allies and enemies in the game world, and here we are with the second one that Monolith Productions has for us. This is the Machine Tribe and as you most likely have guessed, they are all about the war machines and devices in Shadow Of War. Well, at least as much as they can get away with given the technology of the setting and such. Read More...

South Park More gameplay for South Park: The Fractured But Whole has been released for Gamescom & it goes into more of the crafting system for this South Park game Last year at Gamescom South Park: The Fractured But Whole had a nice showing of the game at the state it was at that also came with a 4D experience of being able to smell the farts that were being produced. It was something to say you did and it gave Ubisoft a chance to spend more money promoting a title that was later delayed for almost another year. This year, as I am assuming, they are playing it a bit safer and, assuming, they are showing off a bit more of the demo for The Fractured But Whole that was shown off at E3. Read More...

Far Cry 5 New gameplay for Far Cry 5 is out there from Gamescom and it shows off some of the mini-games of Far Cry 5 as well as other ways to save the innocent If you wanted more Far Cry 5 then you have it. In fact, we have a whole lot more of the game here in terms of gameplay as Ubisoft takes us all on an extended look at some of the current gameplay being floated around out there to show off many other aspects of the game. It has been released here for Gamescom, but as it sounds, this is a slice of footage from back as far as E3 when they were showing off Far Cry 5 during that show. None of it was seen by me personally so I have a feeling it was all "behind closed doors" or for "privileged media" to experience, but now it is here and adds in a few things that we may or may not have wanted for the game. Read More...

Assassin’s Creed A new cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Origins has been shown off at Gamescom and it shows off some of the icons that Assassin’s Creed Origins could have mixed in Well, Gamescom is currently in full swing and it would make sense that we would get to see more for Assassin’s Creed Origins during the event given that it launches on October 27th here. It would be insanely strange if Ubisoft missed the chance to show off more for the game and they did not as it was one of the items that opened the event showing off more of the Xbox One X out there. They needed to show off just what they are capable to do there for Assassin’s Creed Origins as well as on the PS4 and PC so it makes perfect sense for now. Read More...

Shadow Of War Another trailer for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War is here and it shows us the other horrors we'll be facing in Shadow Of War besides the Orcs There are so many threats in Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War that we will have to deal with and here we go adding even more into the mix of it all. Not the biggest surprise to the game at all, or the IP either, but there will be a plethora of other monsters and creatures out there to hinder our progression and thus level us up just a bit more. While extra monsters in Shadow Of War is nothing too shocking, it was something that Monolith Productions wanted us to see and experience here as we all get ready for October 10th to swing around and give us more of the story and gameplay we've enjoyed for so long. 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 on the site this week There goes yet another week of video games in the bag. I swear that seems like the way we start all of these recaps out there. Nonetheless, we have hit the end of yet another week and it was filled with even more updates and news that could have been expected. There was a lot for Shadow Of War and Assassin’s Creed Origins yet again, and sadly we saw that Crackdown 3 had been delayed yet again until next year. Thankfully though, we have Agents Of Mayhem out there to feel those needs and if you are still on the fence for that title, we just published out review for it so you can get a better idea before purchase. Read More...

Planet Of The Apes A new title in the Planet Of The Apes line has been announced & this fall we will be playing Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier for more story This seems like an out-of-nowhere announcement, but we have another new title coming this Fall in the way of Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier. No this is not another film that will be coming for the rebooted franchise, but a video game bridge of a title coming from Imaginati Studios to fill in some of the story between Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and War For The Planet Of The Apes. Seems like a bit of a miss given that the film has already launched and any solid tie-in there has mostly been missed, but nonetheless we are getting it. Read More...

Crackdown 3 After much debate, Crackdown 3 has been delayed to address all of the issues gamers had with Crackdown 3 recently as well as add improvements We were going so well with all of the good news in gaming and then we get hit with Crackdown 3 is on the delayed list yet again. Sadly, yes it looks like Reagent Games and Sumo Digital are going to need a lot more time to get the game out to us as it has been stated that the game is no longer hitting the November 7th release date anymore. Now we won't be seeing Crackdown 3 hitting the Xbox One and Windows PC until sometime in Spring of 2018. This could be a few months delay or a much larger one when you look at what Spring could mean.
