Halo 5: Guardians Ghosts of Meridian Patch Released April 8, 2016

An enormous content update for Halo 5: Guardians has just hit Xbox Live and Halo 5 all players are going to need to prepare for it.

The new update includes several new maps, weapons, game modes, REQ Packs, and a whole lot more. I would go into explicit detail about everything that’s been added, but I’m sure it would be a lot easier to show you.  Take a look.

The Ghosts of Merdian update is completely free to all of Halo 5: Guardians players.  If you previously had the most recent version of the game installed, this new update is going to require a hefty 8.3GB download. If you can’t wait that long, Microsoft and 343 Industries hosted a live stream of all the new content. If you missed it or want to rewatch it yourself, here’s the entire preview stream.

Halo 5: Guardians is out now exclusively on Xbox One.

PlayStation 4 Software Update 3.50 Released April 6, 2016

A major required system software update has been released on the PlayStation 4.  The new update includes a laundry list of all new features including the ability to create events, stream games to Dailymotion, and the ability to appear offline, even when online.

However some would argue that the biggest feature Sony has added is an all new Remote Play feature for Windows and Mac computers. To use remote play on your Mac or PC just download the client here.

You MUST download this software update to access the PlayStation Network.

iOS 9.3.1 Released April 2, 2016

A minor update to iOS 9 was released. The new update, iOS 9.3.1, fixes a major issue some users were having with Safari and specific apps.  While this specific issue was a minor problem before iOS 9.3 was released, this was a pretty serious bug that had affected lots of users.

As with all iOS updates, you can download the update right now by connecting your iDevice to an iTunes equipped PC or Mac.  If you prefer not to connect your iDevice to a computer, you can still update it using the Software Update feature in your Settings app.

Max Payne and Alan Wake Play Quantum Break April 1, 2016

Mythical Pokémon Jirachi Released April 1, 2016

Today is the first of April, and I’ve got some big news to share with Pokémon Trainers across the world.  The Mythical Pokémon Jirachi, a Pokémon that was previously unobtainable through normal means in any previous Pokémon game, is being distributed free of charge through the Nintendo Network.

Jirachi can be obtained by accessing the Mystery Gift menu which is easily accessible when booting up one of your compatible games. Just make sure to set your system to “Recieve a Gift from the Internet” while your 3DS is connected to a wireless hotspot. If you don’t have one at home, I recomend taking your handheld device to a Nintendo Zone location, like a McDonald’s, Best Buy or Barnes and Noble.

Once you recieve your Mystery Gift, you’ll need to load your recent save, and then visit any in-game Pokémon Center.  Once there, talk to the Mail Lady next to Nurse Joy. She’ll give your character the legendary Jirachi.  Once you obtain the legendary Pokémon, save your game and it will be yours!

This disribution works on any Generation 6 Pokémon game and will end on April 24th, 2016, so make sure to check your Mystery Gift menu as soon as possible!

Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are out now for all Nintendo 3DS systems.

Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV Complete Event March 31, 2016

I know we’ve been talking about this event nonstop for the past twelve hours, but those of you who missed the full Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event last night are in luck.  When the event was announced fans were promised that it would give Final Fantasy XV‘s official release date. I don’t think anyone expected everything else that happened. New announcements, previews and reveals were made throughout the event, and having seen it myself as it was broadcast live, I am happy to hear it has been rereleased so that anyone can watch it at their leisure.

If you want to catch the stream of the event in its entirety, it is below. Just be aware there is a preshow before the main event began, so if you only want to watch the stage event you should fast forward to around the one hour mark.

Final Fantasy XV is coming September 30th, 2016 to the Xbox One and PS4.

Florence + The Machine Final Fantasy XV Interview March 31, 2016

I always felt the best cover of the classic song “Stand By Me” was done by Disney’s Timon and Pumbaa back in the mid-90s. Today, my opinion has changed.

Square Enix picked the song “Stand By Me” covered by the band Florance + The Machine to play during tonight’s new Final Fantasy XV trailer.  If you wanted to know what went into including that song in the game, give this a watch.

Final Fantasy XV is coming September 30th, 2016 to the Xbox One and PS4.
