My Girlfriend and I Enjoy a Healthy Time Killing Each Other
Guess what, Assassin’s Creed 3 is going to include multiplayer again!
My girlfriend and I loved the multiplayer option in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, though we never got around to trying it in Revelations (for which I still owe you guys a review). If she and I both get AC3, you can bet we’ll be hunting and slaughtering each other once again! Or better yet, there appears to be a new co-op mode! That’s even better!
6 Future Expansions for World of Warcraft
World of Wacraft is pretty much as popular today as it’s ever been, and shows no signs of slowing down. With the help of their latest expansion – Mists of Pandaria – subscriptions jumped back over 10 million gamers living, fighting and generally raising a ruckus in the virtual world of Azeroth. And let me tell you guys, I do not regret at all getting back into the game this past month after a more than two year break. There are so many new things to do and see that I’ve been playing nearly non-stop since late August and have barely even scratched the surface of the fun to be had.
And being a Pandaren Brewmaster is definitely as awesome as I had hoped!
Shonson the Level 38 Monk on Thorium Brotherhood
Mists of Pandaria will be the focus for the next few years, but somebody somewhere at Blizzard is already plotting out what their next expansion will include. Usually, the main point of the expansion is to increase the level cap and introduce new continents and dungeons to explore, because the majority of WoW players have already maxed out their characters and are looking for more end-game content. But that’s not all you get in new expansions. Usually you also get a new playable race (pandaren, goblins, blood elves, etc.), a new class (death knight, monk) or just general new features like the new Pet Battles, which basically bring a rudimentary form of Pokemon into Warcarft just for kicks and giggles. The people are Blizzard are geniuses when it comes to new content to expand their ever-growing world.
And seeing what a huge World of Warcraft fan I am, I thought I’d give them a hand with 6 suggestions for new expansion content.
Green Arrow for Injustice Game – Still No Robin
The makers of Injustice: Gods Among Us continue to reveal their fighters at an agonizingly slow pace. The latest is Green Arrow.
The game comes out in April, so I suppose the developers still have plenty of time. But can you really tell me that they don’t, at this point, already know all the fighters who are going to be in their game? I guess I’m just being impatient. As long as they let these reveals trickle out like they are, they’ll continue to grab headlines on geek sites.
The previewed box art has also revealed Green Lantern and Joker – but they were kind of obvious choices.
But I just want to know if the game is going to feature Robin! And I’ll keep saying this in the hopes that one of the developers reads my blog, but what would be a cooler match up in this type of game than Batman vs. Robin? The teacher vs. the student! It’s classic! Nightwing is in the game, sure, but he’s not Robin anymore. People know Robin. People know the Dynamic Duo that is Batman and Robin. A fight between the two of them still holds a lot of oomph behind it!
So make it happen, NetherRealm! Don’t make me tell you again!
Also, speaking of Green Arrow, look for my review of the first episode of Arrow later today or this weekend.
Oh Right, Assassin’s Creed 3 Has More Than Just Redcoat Killing
Namely, a plot. The latest trailer actually gives us a look at protagonist Connor and his exciting, upcoming story!
I recently beat Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (review forthcoming), so I’m ready to tackle the upcoming threequel in this amazing series. I only hope I can split my time between Warcraft, AC3 and a million other games I’m playing or I have waiting for me these days. It’s a good time to be a video game nerd.
The above trailer, I think, looks pretty neat. It’ll be fun to get to know a new protagonist after so many games with Italian heartthrob Ezio. The location and setting are definitely up my alley. I’m eager to learn more about the American Revolution and the badass Native American warrior who sliced his way behind-the-scenes.
And want to hear something more awesome? The first round of DLC has already been announced for Assassin’s Creed 3: NAME OF DLC
It’s going to take place in an alternate reality where you have to hunt down and kill King George Washington! Though considering how badass the father of our country looks on his throne, I don’t think it would be such a bad thing if he were King. Has George Washington ever looked so pimp?
Sarah Silverman Gets Adorable
In this new Wreck-It Ralph trailer!
I haven’t really liked her cutesy little character so much in the previews we’ve seen, but this time she’s absolutely adorable! I’ve always been a Sarah Silverman fan, but this really raises the bar a lot. If only we could get Vanellope von Schweetz to give us a profanity-laced rant about her Jesus. Now that would be a movie!
