Microsoft has made another change in their policy, this time it has to do with Independent Developers. That is right Microsoft has just announced that they will be allowing independent developers to self-publish Xbox One games without requiring a publisher of any kind.
That is correct ladies and gentleman! If you will so kindly turn your attention to your Wii U eShop then you will find, for the low price of $9.99, EarthBound. After the long, long, long wait your hopes and dreams of come true!
Are you already on your Wii U downloading it? Then there is no point to me typing this huh? Can't say I fault you; Enjoy!
We all know Naughty Dog for their stellar Uncharted series, in which I personally love. Now, we have their newest game in The Last of Us, which has been receiving very high praise amongst numerous outlets in the videogame industry. Is The Last of Us truly a masterpiece as it is being claimed or is it one of the more overhyped games of our generation? Read on to find out. 
Microsoft has been willing to act quickly on the feedback that they were given for the Xbox One. When people were getting upset and angry about the DRM polices and the internet connection policy, Microsoft dropped the policies for both and promise for a more open system. Now that is out the way there is one major issue that the PS4 has over the Xbox One and that my friends is the hardware specs... Let’s Talk
Out of all the games that were showcased at E3 2013, the one that I was looking forward to the most was Watch Dogs. My friend and I waited in line for the live demo for a total of three hours. Was the wait worth it? Most people would say no, but I left the demo with more excitement to purchase the final version.
When Microsoft came clean about how their DRM polices two weeks ago, people were outraged. Many fans of the popular Xbox 360 threating to switch over to the PlayStation 4 because of Xbox One. Now go forward a week or so ago and now due to all the backlash of the customers and media, Microsoft did a complete 180 on their DRM polices. Which are now the same as PlayStation 4; on how you can play used games and trade in your games to third party stores like Amazon, GameStop and BestBuy. Now that the Xbox one is on the same level (DRM Policies) wise, fans seem to be happier and not so remorse full about getting the Xbox One. Now all of a sudden Microsoft announced that their new next generation console will not ship with a Headset…. Wait… What???

Em here! I picked up the new Deadpool game on tuesday, and thought I would give you guys a few tid bits without spoiling much!
Walking around the Warner Brothers area at E3, I was surprised to see a title I hadn't even heard of prior to my visit to LA. Being a sucker for zombie games, I decided to check it out on the final day. Is Dying Light just another rehash zombie game, or did it show some potential in the live demo? Read on to find out.
Em here! I picked up the new Deadpool game today, thought I would give you guys a tid-bits while I am at the halfway point.
As of now, If you know Deadpool you can expect lots of sweet weapons, dirty jokes, funny phrases, silly actions, and "fourth-wall" breaking. So to put it simply, if you like Deadpool (and how could you not?), you'll probably dig this game. To be honest even if you're not much of a gamer/comic reader, you'll still find it entertaining.
Starting with the good stuff, there are a fair amount of cool weapons and upgrades that don't take too long to afford(in Deadpool points that is). You're literally battling enemies 90% of the time so this keeps things from getting too old too fast. From the upgrade menu you can choose from a few guns and there are also a variety of melee weapons and gadgets to use as well.Besides that, Deadpool's regenerative healing is nice, if you just step away from the action for a bit, he will gain his health back pretty quickly as well as his suit; this saves some stress trying to find some health. Also teleporting to avoid enemies and travel short distances comes in handy too, it's pretty similar to "Blinking" in Bethesda's Dishonored. Anyway, I think the cut scenes are my favorite part thus far, there was also a super cool 8 bit portion too that I was pretty fond of.
On the flip side, there really isn't any sort of story line to this game. It's pretty much all non-strategic killing and I guess we all assumed it would be. This is totally fine though, I didn't expect this game to be super deep and intricate, but with the minimal story line, and small range of enemy types you may get a little weary of repetitiveness. All in all, I think it's the funny jokes and random actions that make this game worth while in itself, but the replay value is pretty low. If you're a huge Deadpool fan I'd say go ahead and drop the $60 bucks for it, if you're not, you may be better off just borrowing it from a friend or playing it used.
Need for Speed Rivals is the newest iteration of the popular EA racing franchise. I had the opportunity to play the demo while at E3 on the PS4. The NFSR demo area had three bays, with each bay comprising of three cops and three racers. For you non math majors out there, including me, there were a total of nine racers and nine police officers. The nine racers can go about their business competing in various races while the police officers can initiate a police chase at any time. This is a pretty cool feature implemented into NFSR.
