Splatoon 2 Announced January 13, 2017

The original Splatoon came out of nowhere and easily became my favorite console online multiplayer game in quite a while. I loved everything about it from the art style to the gameplay. The fact that Nintendo continued to support the game with free content releases after it launched kept its community playing for a long time!

Last night at the Nintendo Switch live presentation, Splatoon 2 was announced!

Nintendo promises that just like with the first game, new content and special in-game events will be offered post-launch!

Halo Wars 2 Blitz Beta Announced January 11, 2017

Enormous news out of 343 Industries today, they have just announced the second Halo Wars 2 multiplayer test will be starting January 20th!

This Beta Test will go on for ten days and will be open to Xbox One and Windows 10 testers. I’m sure PC players will be happy to hear that as they weren’t invited to the first Halo Wars 2 Beta Test back in June.

Sadly, any rewards you earn during the Beta will not carry over to the full game. However, Beta players will not be left empty handed when the full game comes out. Anyone who plays the beta will be guaranteed one Blitz pack that they will be able to carry over to the full retail game. You’ll be able to earn a second Blitz pack after completing a single game in the Beta.

Halo Wars 2 is coming Feb 2017 to Xbox One and Windows 10.

Watch Dogs 2 Patch 1.09 Released January 9, 2017

The new update, version 1.09, fixes a multiplayer exploit and reduces the round capacity of a single weapon. You can read all the changes here.

Watch Dogs 2 is out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Mass Effect 2 Free On PC Through Origin On The House January 5, 2017

This has been a long time coming but earlier today EA has announced they have made the PC version of Mass Effect 2 entirely free through Origin On The House!  This is huge news as Mass Effect 2 has been hailed by critics as one of the finest games released in the last generation, and is also considered by many to be the best game of the Mass Effect franchise.

As with all games obtained through On The House, as long as you add them to your Origin account while they are free, they will remain tied to your account even after the free period ends.  You’ll need an EA account and a PC with the Origin client to download and install the game, but you can get both for free.

Mass Effect 2 is out now on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
