Nintendo Wii U’s Launch Line-Up

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Jason Bassett

We are counting down the next couple of months to the release of the Wii U and we have finally a firm Launch Line-Up to share.  A lot of the games are pretty much what I expected and probably what you expect as well, but I will let you be the judge of that. Note that some games do have a tentative November release date, but shouldn’t hit the deadline by the end of the month: Games Releasing on November 18th Activision Publishing, Inc. Call of Duty: Black Ops II Skylanders Giants TRANSFORMERS PRIME Wipeout 3 Disney Interactive Disney Epic

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Les Major

The magical words appared in World of Warcraft announcing Mists of Pandaria had launched! Sadly I watched as my guild mates ran off to make Pandaren monks, however I figured I’d go check out the action around Stormwind. I was delighted to learn that Battle Pet Trainers would train my character even though I don’t have the expansion! What followed has almost been an hour of awesome collecting action!

See the Back-Story of Dishonored’s Dunwall

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Jesse Lord

For those of us who can’t get enough Dishonored information (guilty!), I am pleased to present to you all the following video.  The first in the three-part “Tales from Dunwall” video series, The Awakening is set to give a further glimpse into the world that has been created to contain the storyline of the supernatural assassin.  A whaling town teeming with Plague, Dunwall is a city of intrigue, oppression and deception. From the email I received, I discovered that the video was created by Psyop.  Each episode was predominantly produced by hand, which I think is fantastic, and it shows.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 | Review

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Jason Fayta

Version tested:  PlayStation 3 Tekken returns to tag after a 12 year hiatus from consoles with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (hereafter TTT2), the sequel to, that’s right, Tekken Tag Tournament. 12 years is a long time to wait for a proper follow-up to one of the more popular entries in the venerable Tekken series; does Namco Bandai drop the Tekken Ball or is TTT2 the new King of the Iron Fist? TTT2 is the eighth main installment in the Tekken series and it is a non-canon entry, like the original Tekken Tag Tournament. TTT2 embraces its dream match premise, and in turn

The Walking Dead Coming To Retail

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Joshua Rust

First off, if you haven’t been watching The Walking Dead TV show – you have been missing out. I can’t wait for the third season to start. But, onto the game now. Telltale has announced that its’ amazing episodic game, that is up to the third of five episodes at the moment, will be coming to retail on December 4th in North America. This is a great move by Telltale as some gamers still haven’t bought in to the whole “buy online” strategy. So to me this means that the people who are downloading the episodes online will see them released within the
