So much greenery WithForza Horizon 5absolutely sucking up all the attention from racing game fans as of late, it’s easy to forget we’re just a couple of months away from the release of the latest entry in Polyphony Digital’sGran Turismofranchise.GT 7is the first numbered entry in the series since 2013, and following the less-than-stellar reception ofGran TurismoSport, I think a lot is riding on this game knocking all of our socks off and showcasing the power of the PlayStation 5....

Thanks to a recent agreement between EA and Hasbro, some of those games that had family members yelling at each other across the dining room table each night (at least in my household) will be making a comeback. Both EA and Hasbro hope that 2008 will be the year that classic games such asMonopoly,ScrabbleandYahtzeerevive that tradition — albeit in an updated fashion. The games are planned to be available on consoles, PCs, handhelds, as well as mobile phones....

I think I’d rather just have a Reese’s cup Wait, you meanWatch Dogsisn’t simply an extension ofAssassin’s Creed? I kid, I kid. It appears that Olivier Garneau, CEO of Abstergo Entertainment (as seen inAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag) is actually inWatch Dogsin the middle of the criminal convoy mission “Requiescat In Pace.” Be wary of spoilers if you haven’t played the game yet. It’s revealed in the mission that Garneau was actually targeted by the “Brotherhood,” an obvious reference to the modern-day Assassin’s Brotherhood....

They were yummy and not bad Bayonetta 2has the potential to do what most sequels set out to do — meet the approval of existing fans while being appreciated by a new audience. It feels more confident in it’s own inherently brazen nature, and less interested in resembling anything one might term “conventional”. It was just a few seconds into my first play before I seeming turned into a giant neon purple butterfly....

They work a little differently compared to the old ones WhenDestiny 2was an Activision joint, players blamed the Big A for a lot of the microtransactions present in the game. Now that Bungie has gone rogue and needs to recoup some money without a huge backer, they also need to rely heavily on microtransactions to keep production going. It’s a catch-22 isn’t it?Destinywas always destined for real-money transactions on top of the premium model....

Yet more evidence that children are stupid and should be mass-executed has arrived today,with wordof a young boy in Illinois who called the cops after his parents took his Xbox (we assume a 360) away as punishment for a misdemeanor. The boy called on a Sunday at 12:50pm before promptly hanging up. As is routine, cops were dispatched to the little bastard’s house anyway, where he then had the cheek to ask them if his parents had the authority to confiscate his stuff....

ThenirvanA Initiativewill still have players exploring the world and diving into dreams. But on both sides, it looks like there’s added hurdles to overcome.
