Quantum Break Gamescom 2014 Demo August 12, 2014

There was no game showing at this year’s Gamescom that I was looking forward to more than Quantum Break. Remedy did an entire eight minute live demo at the Xbox Press Briefing this morning, the first time that gamers have ever seen this game in action. You have to give it a look.

Quantum Break is coming in 2015 exclusively on Xbox One.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Mega Evolution Trailer August 10, 2014

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire may be 3DS remakes of the third generation Pokémon games, but it will be including a ton of new features including something only possible in the sixth generation, Mega Evolution.

Before today, we only knew a few Pokémon which would be able to Mega Evolve. Today, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have released this new trailer to show Mega Evolutions we have never seen before, and will be possible in the new games. Did I also mention Cosplay Pikachu can fight?

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are coming November 2014 exclusively to the Nintendo 3DS.

Mario Kart 8 Mercedes-Benz DLC Trailer August 7, 2014

The trailer for the very first DLC for Mario Kart 8 has hit the web.  Three new karts, inspired by cars developed by Mercedes-Benz, are coming to the game and all players will be able to get them free of charge.  Take a look at them for yourselves.

I just love that theme song.  The Mercedes-Benz DLC will be added in a free software update on August 27th, 2014.  You will need a full version of Mario Kart 8 to play.

Mario Kart 8 is out now exclusively on the Wii U.

Nintendo Direct – Hyrule Warrors August 5, 2014

If you’re a fan of the Dynasty Warriors or Legend of Zelda series you’re probably looking forward to Nintendo’s next major Wii U release, Hyrule Warriors.  The game features the classic gameplay of Dynasty Warriors mixed with the characters, enemies and environments of the classic Legend of Zelda series.  Today, Nintendo has devoted an entire Nintendo Direct to this new game, a very rare event.  Give it a watch.

Hyrule Warriors is coming exclusively to the Wii U.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection San Diego Comic Con 2014 Panel August 5, 2014

Its been delayed a few days, but this is worth the wait.  For those of you (like me) who were unable to attend this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Microsoft and 343 Industries have provided a video of their panel on Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the Xbox One.  The collection will include remastered versions of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4 on one disc, with all the single player and multiplayer components intact.  Give it a watch!

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming November 2014 exclusively to the Xbox One.

Xbox GamesCom 2014 Briefing Information August 4, 2014

Next week the highly anticipated gaming event, Gamescom 2014 will take place in Cologne, Germany.  Microsoft has announced they will be there in full force, showing off the Xbox and several new games for the Xbox One console including Sunset Overdrive and the next Call of Duty game.

The video makes no mention of what is in my opinion the most important Xbox One exclusive title for next year, Quantum Break.  The game’s developers, Remedy, have gone on record as saying they plan to have a live demo of the game available at Gamescom, but its unclear if they will be showing the game at the Xbox Briefing or not.

The Xbox Briefing will stream Tuesday morning, the 12th of August, at 8am EST on Xbox.com, Windows Phone, the Xbox Live Event Player, and Twitch.TV.  An aftershow will stream immediately after the event concludes.

The Last of Us: Remastered – When Joel Met Ellie Interview July 29, 2014

A year after the original release of The Last of Us on the Playstation 3, Sony got the two lead actors from the game, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, together again for a candid interview in anticipation of the release of The Last of Us: Remastered on the Playstation 4.  In the interview, they talk about practically everything they had to go through to get the roles of Joel and Ellie and how they worked together during the game’s development.  It’s a great interview and you can tell there’s a great friendship between these two actors.  If you’re a fan of the game, or just really looking forward to picking up the PS4 version later today, give it a watch.
