Final Fantasy XV Platinum Demo Announced March 30, 2016

Tonight, Square Enix made a huge spectacle of announcements during the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV live event. While we will undoubtably be reposting as much information as we can about the event as media from the event starts to become available I felt it was important to inform you all that an all-new demo for the game, called the Platinum Demo, is going to be released as a free download later tonight on the Xbox One and PS4.

The Platinum Demo features a storyline that is not included in the full retail title Final Fantasy XV.  Anyone who is able to complete it will unlock an important DLC character from the demo, Carbunkle, which you’ll be able to bring into the full retail game.

So go and check your console’s online marketplace right now and get to downloading!

Final Fantasy XV is coming September 30th, 2016 to the Xbox One and PS4. Yes, that is the game’s official release date.

Quantum Break Live-Action Villians Trailer March 29, 2016

There’s no game on the upcoming release schedule that I’m looking forward to playing more than Quantum Break. Quantum Break is more than just a game, it’s also a fully produced four episode live-action television series that will be fully integrated into the game’s story.  Today, Microsoft released a new trailer for the game, focusing on that series and the villains we will be facing.  Enjoy.

Toys R Us Hosting Another Pokémon Day April 2nd March 28, 2016

Back in February, Toys R Us retail stores across the US hosted a special Pokémon-themed event for their customers to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Pokémon’s release. Having personally attended the event at my local retailer, I can say it was just great.  The store gave away two special promotional TCG cards, a high-quality poster and an activity book to everyone who attended. While I assumed that would be the only Pokémon event Toys R Us would be hosting for quite some time, a glance at the back page of the free activity book spoke a different story, Toys R Us will be hosting another Pokémon event on April 2nd, 2016 and today we have the final details about it.

The Official Pokemon Website has just published their announcement of the event and the details on what will be happening this Saturday.  They plan to give out two new promotional TCG cards (different from the ones they previously handed out in February) and a new activity book for starters. They’ll also have a sale on select Pokémon themed merchandise. You can read all of the official details here.

We’re going to try covering the event when it happens, so keep an eye on this website and our Twitter feed for more details.

This weekend, I caught this commercial for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End airing on television. While the trailer appears to be completely CGI, it’s always great to hear the incredible voice actors  for this series when they work. Enjoy.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is coming May 2016 exclusively for the PS4.

Metal of Honor: Pacific Assault Free on PC Through Origin On The House March 24, 2016

EA’s Origin online game distribution service frequently offers classic games from EA’s back catalog free of charge. Today, Origin is offering the PC game Metal of Honor: Pacific Assault free of charge through Origin On The House and you can download and play it right now.

You will need the Origin client and an Origin account to download the game, but both can be obtained free of charge.  As with all games offered through On The House, as long as they’re downloaded before the free promotional period concludes, they can always be redownloaded, even if the game is deleted after the free promotion ends.

It’s never clear how long a game will stay free on Origin so take my advice, “Get to downloading!”
