The Game Awards 2015 Complete Video December 4, 2015

If you read my official Twitter Feed last night you might have noticed that I spent the night checking out the Rifftrax Live presentation of Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny, preventing me from witnessing the 2015 Game Awards show.  Since then, I have been waiting patiently for the event to be rebroadcasted.  A lot of major game premieres took place at this event, and gamers got a good preview of several games we’ve been looking forward to playing including Quantum Break and Uncharted 4. 

If you missed the show or just want to watch it again, you can view the entire show below.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – The Game Awards 2015 Trailer December 4, 2015

There is little debate that the most anticipated PS4 exclusive game is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and Sony provided a brand new trailer introducing a new, never before seen character during The Game Awards 2015.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is coming March 2015 exclusively to the PS4.

Treehouse Splatournament – Complete Video December 4, 2015

Several days ago, Nintendo hosted a massive online tournament for the Wii U title Splatoon, called the Splatournament.  In case you missed the live-feed of the event, here is the entire video of the show. Enjoy.

Great video?  Don’t forget, a new patch for Splatoon is planned for release today. The update will include brand new maps and weapons, along with some gameplay balance adjustments completely free of charge.

Splatoon is out now exclusively on the Wii U.

Quantum Break – The Game Awards 2015 Reveal December 4, 2015

As many of you know, there is no game coming to the Xbox One that I’m looking forward to more than Quantum Break. Developed by Remedy, the creators of Alan Wake and Max Payne, this game looks to embody Remedy’s incredible ability to integrate a complex story into a polished third person action game. Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Ashmore.

Quantum Break is coming April 2016 exclusively to Xbox One.

Pokemon Picross Released December 3, 2015

Nintendo has just announced that they have released Pokemon Picross, a Pokemon-themed version of their popular Picross puzzle series.

You can download Pokemon Picross right now to your 3DS system from the Nintendo eShop free to start, although later puzzles may cost money.

Jade Empire Special Edition Now Free Through Origin On The House December 1, 2015

Any PC gamers who are currently using Origin to play recent EA games should listen up. EA has announced the PC version of the Bioware classic Jade Empire: Special Edition is now being offered for free to all Origin users.

Jade Empire was one of the last major titles released for the original Xbox and borrows heavily from Eastern Mythology. Fans of Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect will find a lot of familiar elements, since this game borrows heavily from KOTOR‘s structure, and a gameplay system which would get refined further in the first Mass Effect game.

You will need the Origin installer and an EA account to download the game, but you can get both for free. As with all games redeemed through On The House, as long as a game has been redeemed during its free purchase period, it will remain playable on your Origin account forever, even if it is deleted and no longer being offered for free.

Halo 5: Guardians Thanksgiving REQ Pack Ending Today November 29, 2015

Anyone who logs into Halo 5: Guardians on Thanksgiving Weekend will be given an exclusive REQ pack featuring an exclusive emblem and a few other goodies.  Here’s a look at what I got.

Halo 5: Guardians is out now exclusively for the Xbox One.

Don Bluth Announces Dragon’s Lair: The Movie November 25, 2015

Visionary director Don Bluth (Land Before Time, An American Tale, Titan A.E.) has officially announced that he is seeking to turn the beloved arcade game Dragon’s Lair into a feature-length film.  The problem is they need your help to do it.

Bluth and his production company have been interested in making a feature-length Dragon’s Lair film but have been unable to secure proper funding for it. They fully intend to make this film using traditional 2D hand-drawn animation techniques (matching the style of the original games), and it seems like Hollywood is only interested in funding 3D animated projects, even when it isn’t appropriate (Peanuts anyone?). Because of that, the film is going to be funded via crowdsourcing.

Dragon’s Lair was one of the most groundbreaking arcade titles of its day, and having played it via recent ports on iPhone and Blu-Ray Disc, it holds a special place in my heart.

If you’re interested in contributing to the movie, you can check out the project’s official IndieGoGo site. It is expected to go online December 1st, 2015.

Nintendo Announces StreetPass Weekend This Thanksgiving Weekend November 24, 2015

Across the country, Nintendo offers free wireless hotspots, called Nintendo Zone locations, for 3DS users. Usually you can find Nintendo Zone hotspots in various McDonald’s, Barnes and Noble Bookstores, AT&T retail stores, and Best Buy locations across the US. These hotspots not only offer Internet access to Nintendo handhelds, they also help players obtain StreetPass tags from the hotspot’s previous users.

Nintendo has just announced that this weekend they’re going to be shaking things up and offering random StreetPass tags to anyone who visits any active Nintendo Zone location all weekend long. That means that instead of getting access to the StreetPass tags of the previous six visitors to the hotspot when you connect to it, you’ll receive random StreetPass tags from players all over the country!  This is perfect for any players who need to fill up their StreetPass plaza with new tags!

Don’t forget, this weekend Nintendo is also offering a special distribution to Pokémon Trainers by offering the legendary Pokémon Hoopa to anyone who visits a Nintendo Zone equipped McDonald’s with a copy of Pokémon X/Y or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire starting November 27th.  You can get it by accessing the game’s gift menu while connected to the hotspot.
