Minecraft Creator Announces New Game

If your into games, you’ve heard of Minecraft. You know, that popular cube-like sandbox game. Anyway, it’s creator, Markus “Notch” Persson, has announced he is working on a new title. Its not gonna be a Minecraft follow up, in fact it appears to have nothing to do with Minecraft at all. Here’s what Notch has planned:

Imagine a world where the space race never ended. Imagine that we went way out past our solar system. That’s what Notch had in mind when he built the concept of this game. Around the time of this massive space exploration, chronic sleep chambers were made too. But there was a problem – The sleep chambers had a bug.  People went in for 10 minutes, they were in there for years. So now we shoot ahead to the year 281,474,976, 712,644 A.D. when the first frozen people are waking up. The leave their slumber to find the universe on the brink of extinction, with massive red shifts and black holes controlling the galaxy. You control a ship, while you try to win back the galaxy. 

It seems pretty exciting right? It’s not quite what I expected from the creator of Minecraft, but he’s pretty clever. 

Assassin’s Creed 3. New Assassin; New Era.

We all loved Ezio Auditore, and all our hearts broke when */SPOILER ALERT\* we witnessed his death at the end of Revelations. One thought crossed all our minds either at that moment or shortly after – Is that it? Is that is for our favorite assassin and his adventures? What’s Ubisoft to do now? Well we all got a surprise around Early 2012 – Assassins Creed was not finished. A 3rd game was announced, but our hearts cried when we realized Ezio would not continue his adventures in this new adventure, but Desmond will still be in the game, using the new Animus 3.0 so we can follow the story of his assassin ancestors.

Our new hero is Conner Kenway, an assassin with Native American And British Heritage. You’ll see a lot of change in this new character, including his new array of weapons. You still carry the hidden blade and a small knife, but you have a more advanced arsenal to your disposal. Weapons include flintlock pistols, tomahawks, and bow and arrows (to name a few). This character also got equipped with more skills, such as tree climbing, jumping through windows, and dual wielding weapons (finally!)

Not only do we have a new main character, but we also have a new map. This game takes place during the american revolution, and you get to explore a vast country side called the “Frontier”. This area is about one and half times the size of Rome, but isn’t as empty as it sounds. It will contain the ever so popular city’s of New York and Boston.

Ubisoft is pretty excited about this game, and its been in development since January 2010. They say this game will be the longest, most exciting game, out of all the Assassin Creeds. I can’t wait to get a hold of it.

Star Wars Takes Over A New 360

Comic-Con is here! And I couldn’t be any more excited because with Comic-Con comes awesome video games and special things made just for Comic-Con! Well here is something that caught my eye that I defiantly want. It’s a special edition of the new Xbox 360. A Star Wars version to be precise. The makers of this awesome Creation said that it comes with the best hard drive available for the 360. And yes, it gets better. You also get a Kinect (not pictured, but it’s just plain white, unlike the usual pitch black) with your purchase of this fabulous bundle. As you can (hopefully) see, the actual console features R2-D2 qualities, and is said to sound like R2 himself at times. And look at that controller! It’s a C3-P0, and I want that controller A LOT. Anyway, wipe up the drool and go to your nearest Best Buy (or where ever else you can get it) and buy it for the hefty price of $449.99!

Netflix Instant Streaming Introduced To The 3DS

        That’s right Netflix and handheld Nintendo Lovers, Netflix, The world famous movie company that brings movies to your mailbox and instantly to your TV is teaming up with the game gurus at Nintendo to bring you instant streaming on the New 3DS. Its easy to do, and its highly reccomended you you get the free app. First off, you need to update the device (if not already done). You’ll find the update in the settings tab. Once updated, go to the nintendo store (located in the main menu of your 3DS) andget  the Netflix app. When you first go access the app, you’ll get an access code that you have to enter on Netflix. It’s good to go through all this because it, for one, connects you to your Netflix, and also, also dosen’t make you have to re-enter your information every time you want to use the app….but this is a downside if you share a 3DS with some friends who all have seperate accounts, you have to type in the code everytime you switch accounts (and logging off is the really hard to accomplish) but overall I think the hastle is worth it because who dosent like watching movies wherever you like? (provided there is a WiFi source). Anyway if you are a proud Nintendo 3DS owner this is a must have app.

Windows 8 To Play 360 Games?

There is a big rumor floating around that the next Microsoft computer upgrade might play Xbox 360 games, an article on Teknylate states. But when (or if) you read the article, something seems wrong with it. To me it seems like there isn’t enough details to prove that it is true. The author even states that some of the article was logical theories (I know right?), and he said he got his informaton from Insideris, who got their “information” from some un-named “sources”. To me this all seems a little suspicious. There isnt enough proof from any of the articles to prove that this is a true statement. The only way we will find out is if Microsoft confirms this rumor or someone actually plays a 360 game on Windows 8. I guess we will have to wait and see.

New Mod For C.O.D 4 Takes You To A Galaxy Far, Far, Away.

For all of you who still have an “old” copy of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare, you might want to check this out. Black Monkeys is a big Mod-ing community, and this is one of their biggest (and best) Mods ever. Black Monkey took all the fun of Star Wars Battlefront, and put the awesome gun action of Call Of Duty and made Star Wars : Galactic Warfare. All of the guns are completley from Star Wars, and you are either A Rebel or A StormTrooper. Here’s a video:

Ubisoft, Kinect, Tom Clancy, Oh My!

At the Microsoft press conference at E3, Ubisoft revealed a quick gameplay of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier, an awesome add on to the Ghost Recon series. This game is unlike the other ones in the series, and I’m saying this because I’m honestly not that big of a Ghost Recon fan. I love Tom Clancy games but for some reason don’t like the Ghost Recon series. Anyway the whole gameplay is based on two things : Customablilty and Kinectibility. The new innovated flow of the game doesn’t just allow you to change the barrel and the scope etc. This game takes you into the heart of the guns. You can even customize the hammer. Yeah, the hammer. That’s not the only cool thing. Lets say your a close combat guy, but arn’t that good gun smart, or just don’t have the time to look through all the attachments. Easy. Just say “optimize close range” the gun disappears and in a split second and optimized close range gun is in your sight. You can also “optimize range” and “randomize”.

The thing that I always wondered was “will the Kinect actually work for a FPS?” the answer (I found out) is yes. You can easily tell that Ubisoft did its best to innovate the controls to optimize ability and the awesomness of the game. Shoot is simple, open and close your palm. Bam. You Just Shot.

This post wasn’t just all about Future Soldier though. This post is also about a promise Ubisoft made: “All Tom Clancy Series Games From This Day Forward Are Going To Have Kinectability!”  Why is this exciting? Two words. Splinter. Cell.

New App To Extinguish The Need To Learn A New Language

Picture this: You go on vacation to germany, and your looking for your hotel. Problem is, you don’t speak German (hypothetically for those who are German). You come to a big sign that reads “Hotel 30 Kilometer entfernt, am Weg “A” links abbiegen und immer geradeaus.” Now how in the world are you going to read that? Most people would most likely try to learn german before this trip, or carry a language guide with them, but think about how long that takes! Well now there is an app to deliver the needs to those weary travelers. This app is called Word Lens. Now what this app does is it translates words inside of images. For example, lets say you take a picture of that sign, and the app would look at it, then change the words to English! Think im kidding? check out this video:

Now this app is acctuly free, but you have to pay to get the languages that you need to be translated. But what would you rather have to do : Learn a language, or spend a couple bucks to let the app do all the work?
You Decide.
