Hello gamers! Today we are going to take a look at the highly anticipated addition to the Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed 3.
This is one game to be stoked about. Why you ask? Well let me list it out for you, (1) this installment has been in development for the longest time, a total of 3 years (2) the game is 1.5 times bigger than Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (3) it is powered by a new engine - Anvil Next, able to create dynamic and living landscapes filled with wildlife and people in a scale never before seen, and most importantly (4) we get a brand new assassin.
Our new assassin is a cross breed of British and Native American (Mohawk to be precise), who goes by the name of Connor. Like the assassins of the past, he brings his own unique combat style and equipment. Staying true to the era, the armor has been removed but, that is more than made up for by the addition of several new deadly tools; these include a Tomahawk, bow and arrow,

If you weren't at E3 2012 this year then you probably missed the 140 foot wide trailer, but don't worry we got you covered:
http://kotaku.com/5916468/wow-this-140+foot+wide-call-of-duty-trailer-is-incredibleThe resolution on this trailer was 6336x720. Pretty intense and definitely had people stopping in their tracks to check it out.
The trailer was mostly a collection of footage many people had already seen, but shows you the length in which publishers go to grab your attention over their competition.
Think the trailer is widescreen enough?

See some new Black Ops 2 footage by clicking here:
http://kotaku.com/5915552/black-ops-2-blows-up-e3-and-los-angeles-in-new-gameplay-footageThis footage was released on June 4th at Microsoft's E3 2012 Press Conference and places emphasis on the varied gameplay that will be available throughout the campaign mode.
With the inclusion of 2 new vehicle weapon systems and an sniper rifle that can shoot enemies through cover there is a lot more to do than simply running down a single path and taking out enemy forces.
Black Ops 2 puts the player in a continuing timeline from Black Ops 1, but also jumps into the future allowing the developers to make interesting gameplay elements with brand new future weapons. It will be interesting to see how those future weapons will play out in competitive setting like classic Free For All over Xbox Live. A weapon that can shoot

If you haven't gotten enough of the Zombie trend that's been going on, then definitely be sure to check out this trailer for an interesting Wii U Shooter. It shows the use of the Wii U Controller being used in unique ways that Xbox 360 controllers or PS3 controllers simply can't match right now.The real question is, are these additions compelling to the experience?
Click here to see it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=41zSk_nWTWM#!
Zombie mode in Black Ops was a hit and a lot of fun. If you're a fan of Evil and didn't know, we have an Evil Exclusive mod just for it. It's Auto Aim and it's available on our Stealth Adjustable with MW3/BF3 functions. So you definitely don't want to play that game without it.
ZOmbiU is being published by Ubisoft in addition to a handful of other titles. While Ubisoft seems to definitely be behind the Wii U

Nintendo has just revealed alot of information on their new console the Wii U, but they have also revealed a new way to play on their console. While it isn't a real 'new way' to play it's definitely a new direction for the Wii. With the Wii U being in a prime spot to receive ports of 360 and PS3 games there hasn't really been a comfortable way to play hardcore games like Call of Duty or other beloved shooters. Thus Nintendo is releasing their Pro controller that looks very similar to an Xbox controller.
With this controller you can expect Evil will be there to modify them if that's something our fans would like. The new controller has swapped the positions of the 360's ABXY buttons with their right thumbstick.
Is this a design that hardcore gamers will appreciate? Or is it simply too late for Nintendo to appease their hardcore fan base? With more information on the way it'll be interesting to see what controller developers prefer most. For those gamers that love their wii-motes

Gaming Controllers, Which Console Design is #1?
No doubt over the years we have seen companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo as the frontrunners in gaming, change their controllers or make new ones to help feed this era of technology driven individuals. After stumbling upon an article about which controller is the best, it came down to the Xbox 360 controller and the PS3 controller.
Over many years of trying to remodel their controllers, I do sincerely agree that the Xbox 360 and the PS3 controllers are the best that the market has to offer as of late. Which one is better, is

Halo 4 Toys have revealed new Halo 4 enemies.
An image was taken of a Halo 4 figurine. The back of the packaging revealed the name of two new Halo 4 enemies. The watcher and the crawler. While no other news has surfaced regarding these enemies we imagine E3 will give us a lot more info on Halo 4 and of these two new baddies.
While the reveal isn't too large a spoiler since we all imagined new enemies were on the way, you can suspect that the company McFarlane Toys responsible for the Halo 4 toys will be more careful in the future. -
