Since it was first announced at E3 this year, the Club Ubi website has offered a PC game for free every month for the past seven months, and now that promotion is drawing to a close.  This week, Ubisoft has begun to offer the final free PC game through their Club Ubi promotion, the multiplatform hit Assassin’s Creed III.

Major Pokémon Go Update Coming 12/12 December 7, 2016

The developers over at Niantic have made two enormous announcements in the past few days. The first is that a new update for Pokémon Go is being slowly phased through the Android and iOS versions of the application.  The biggest inclusion of this new update is the ability to transfer multiple Pokémon at once, opposed to one at a time.

Next, wireless provider Sprint has announced an official partnership with the application, and intend to turn their Sprint stores into official Pokéstops and Gyms.  I’m sure lots of Sprint users will be happy to hear that the next time they need to head to a Sprint store.

The next announcement is going to be a big one so make sure you’re sitting down before you read it.  The official Pokémon twitter feed has announced that all new Pokémon are going to be added to Pokémon Go on 12/12!  While they did not add any more information than that, many have speculated this may mean the one hundred new Pokémon created for Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver are going to be added to Pokémon Go in just a few days!

Lots of great news!  If you haven’t been playing a lot recently, now might be a good time to log back into the app and catching up on everything before the new version comes out!

Pokémon Go is out now for Android and iOS devices. It is free to download.

PREY – The Game Awards 2016 Trailer December 1, 2016

If you asked me, I would tell you the last great game produced by 3D Realms was the 2006 PC and Xbox 360 game Prey.  To me it was a perfectly polished first person game with new elements of gameplay we had not seen before.

Since then, I have waited for someone to step forward and make a sequel to that game. Then, after a failed attempt to make a sequel, Bethesda announced at E3 2016 they would be rebooting the franchise and refining it for a whole new console generation.

We’ve only seen minor bits and pieces of the game since it was first announced but tonight during The Game Awards 2016 we got this World Premiere of the new PREY.  Enjoy.

PREY is coming in 2017 to PC, Xbox One and PS4.
