Watchdogs does look incredible. I can't wait to get my hands on Destiny. It seems as if Bungie has done well to move on from the tired Halo universe. I also hope we don't have to wait too long to see a new Bond game running on PS4/X720. Alas, I think the earliest we would see any of 007 on next-gen hardware is probably E3 2014.

Well....I agree somewhat. They could have left out Brotherhood and Revelations.

 

To me though, as I like them, it's no more milked as the 'Call Of Duty' franchise. Modern Warfare 1 2 and 3, Black Ops 1 and 2... *yawn*!   :P

At least they update and change/add lots of new features, whereas AC Brotherhood and Revelations were short expansion packs priced at full retail when they should be $20.00

Now that I do agree with; they should have been DLC additional missions.

 

 

 

 

I think I'm losing this debate actually... er..... do you think the new 'Tomb Raider' will save the franchise?   ;)

I've heard the new Tomb Raider is phenomenal, but I'll have to add that to my birthday list, hopefully and maybe my soon-to-be girlfriend can get it for me haha. It certainly looks great, I can say that.

What about it, besides the fact that it's awesome and my Hugo Drax Estate is currently a work in progress on Minecraft.

What's boring about being able to build anything you want?

It is 'online' (in asmuch as you can go on Minecraft servers), not an RPG though. 

Basically, you can either build stuff or survive in Survival Mode. In Creative Mode, you can build whatever, and you don't have health in that mode either. Oh, and did I mention you can fly in Creative?

If you haven't already bought it, it may seem a bit pricey. But I think it's worth it.

The 'Assassins Creed 4' trailer has sprung up online...

 

http://www.gamebreak...reed-4-trailer/

 

I have to say, so honestly, this looks so much better than 'Assassins Creed III' in terms of potential, new story, graphics, characters and the era it's set it. This could be brilliant...!

 

And lots of ladies on show, that can't be a bad thing can it? Pirates and Assassins could be a dream combo.

I loved my barbies.. :D so there you go. I mean I would build things out of legos sometimes, but it wasn't my favorite toy from my childhood. The Lego Videogames are pretty fun though.

Eh, it looks promising, but honestly I think I may be done with Assassin's Creed. 2 is the only truly great one and Ubisoft seems to be going all Call of Duty with it now.

A promising franchise that's being milked for every drop it has. All in all, I'm just about finished moving, and I'm waiting to get Xbox Live hooked up, but in the mean time, I'm just enjoying Aliens: Colonial Marines. Very good game, if you're a fan of sci-fi and of the 'Alien' franchise, check this game out, tons of fun!

 

Also going to resume work on the Hugo Drax Estate in Minecraft, working on making that 100% accurate. Going to replay Resident Evil 6 and Alan Wake again as well.

I liked Alan Wake a lot. Wouldn't mind a sequel to that. Resident Evil 6, on the other hand, has all but killed my affection for that series. Leon's scenario is the only one worth anything. It really seems like Capcom just sold out completely to the Call of Duty crowd. Have I mentioned my disdain for Call of Duty? Unrelated, I've got Tomb Raider coming from gamefly. Can't wait to fire that one up later this week.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare is a fun, but reppetitive arcade game, worth a play though. I liked RE6, loads of fun, great new features, and still strong. I think it needs a complete overhaul though. Reboot it and make it frightening again, though 6 was still good (for me at least) I believe you've mentioned your disdain for COD seawolfnyy haha :P

The worst part with RE6 is that I want to like. It's just that for every good thing it does, it does at least 2 things wrong. It had so much potential, but ever since RE4 the series has just gone so far off base and from what Capcom has said, I don't think it will ever be fixed. Their belief is that people want action games, not slow-paced horror games. Evidenced especially, since RE5 and RE6 are the best selling games in the franchise. So basically what I'm saying (again lol) is F^&K YOU COD!!!!!
