Possible Assassin's Creed IV Reveal, First Screenshot And Posters!

Come one, come all. Take a look into the first, possible, screen shot(s) of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed IV from Ubisoft. Above is quite possibly the first in-game screen shot of the game and below is a poster, artwork by Todd McFarlane, that has a centralized theme of involving pirates. Hmmmm, this is quite interesting. The after title that seems to follow is “Black Flag“, whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Play Uncharted 3 Multiplayer For Free On PSN

Getting bored of your typical go-to shooter? Have a PS3? Well get on PSN and download the Uncharted 3 multiplayer now for free. Once you get in the game, you’ll be capped at level 15. Once you get past that, you’ve got the option to toss Naughty Dog a couple of bucks for some longevity. $4.99 to raise the level cap to 25, and $19.99 to remove the cap completely. Personally, I think that if you were considering paying about 20 bucks for the multiplayer, why not spend some extra cash and pick up the full game at a store? Funny world we live in.

Hyrule Historia Launch Gallery

On friday we took the long grueling trip from New Jersey to New York just to get our hands on the Limited Edition of Hyrule Histora. The book that made waves last year during The Legend of Zelda’s 25th Anniversary. Initially released in Japan, Dark Horse took the reins and decided to release it here due to overwhelming demand. Months after pre-orders were made available Dark Horse let it be known they had a Limited Edition in the works as well. This edition would have a faux-leather cover, gold leafing on the edge of the pages, and be limited to only 4,000 copies. The preorders on Amazon sold out immediately leaving only one other option for a chance at this extremely rare book. The Nintendo World Launch event in New York City.

What To Play At Your New Year's Party

New Year's Eve is a grand ole party for most people. And it's right around the corner. Some of you might be thinking, "Hey, what the hell are we going to do until the ball drops?". The obvious answer to that is get drunk. "But what are we going to do while we drink?" Ahh, that's the million dollar question.  There's all sorts of things to do.

Let's start off with getting the drinking games out of the way. Yes, there is Beer Pong, Flip Cup, Quarters, and Kings. Along with a variety of other alcohol inducing riff raff. But that's not what we're here to go over, since everyone and their mother knows all those games, and is probably burnt out on them. So let's get some better ideas out there.

Board games. Yes, there are board games, but on a night like New Year's Eve, they're more like bored games. Too much to setup, or too many instructions to read. Have you ever read instructions while intoxicated? Better yet, have you ever tried explaining to a drunk person the difference between the "shoots" and "ladders"? Or why they have to wait three rolls of the dice to get out of jail in Monopoly. Yeah, try keeping a real drunk person in a fake jail whilst they recklessly drive their fake sports car around the board and all over your face. Save board games for a rainy or snowy day, right along with your puzzles.

Charades - nope not even going to go there.

Marcus' Best Of 2012 Picks

As 2012 comes to a close we must all remember the things we cherish most like being alive. Even after the 12/21/2012 Mayan Prophecy foretold us that we possibly wouldn't be here anymore after that date. Guess what? HERE WE ARE! Woo! To celebrate the "end of an era" and the beginning of a new one, my top 5 picks below of the games (and console) that I thought had such a significant impact on myself, and as well as the gaming community.

While this one comes to a close, 2013 promises to be a solid year, and hopeful last year, for games released on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles. In the near future we may get a sneak peak look into new technology that could quite possibly be the revealing of the Playstation 4 and or the Xbox 720. Oh the joys of rumors, but we shall see in due time.

Can Dead Space 3's Co-Op Instill The Fear In You?

The answer to that title question is YES! E3 2012 is at the tail end of its glory and we've already seen a plethora of upcoming games that will blow our minds later this year. It comes to no surprise that one of them, for me at least, is going to be Dead Space 3.

Steve Papoutsis, VP and GM of Visceral Games, showcased a co-op demo of Dead Space 3 live during Electronic Art's press conference. I was a little skeptical at first whether or not the addition of having co-op would work within the franchise. Needless to say, it does and I am super thrilled about it. Check out the live demo video below to understand just what I mean:

Survival horror has been one of those video game genres talked about lately that somehow manages to turn into an action oriented genre overtime (see Resident Evil franchise). Dead Space's gameplay on the other hand, is all about incorporating fear, terror, jumps, and staying on the tippy top of your toes as much as possible. This sequel, due out February 2013 on multiple platforms, manages to blend many of its original elements together so perfectly well that co-op is able to exist. The fear and terror for Isaac Clarke, and newcomer John Carver, will certainly be present.

Yet, this is a demo, and we won't know just how well the finished product will be until its release in a little under a year. I will say though, how can you not have positive thoughts of this game already? I mean, all that noise, pop-ups of necromorphs, and so on. Wouldn't you want to enjoy these moments with your buddy in a co-op experience? I certainly do!
