This Weeks Geek - Time or Money

/
Curse you video game industry. The majority of your blockbuster hits all seem to come out around the same time. I know that the holiday season is important to make sales, but would it be possible to spread things out a little more? I am still working on Borderlands 2 and Fable: The Journey. Then Assassin's Creed III just came out last week which I have barley played. Now Halo 4 comes out tomorrow, which due to the fantastic job Microsoft did with Forward Unto Dawn mini series I am actually more excited about then I was before. I don't have the time to get and play all these great games.

Honor, for some men that is all that defines them. So what happens when you lose that honor? Worse yet, what happens if you lose that honor due to no fault of of your own.

Fuse (Formally Overstrike) - Finally Something New

/

Insomniac games has finally released some new information on Fuse. If you did not read the tile of this article then you won't know what Fuse is though. It was announced in 2011 as Overstrike. Go ahead and watch the original trailer in that link, I'll still be here.  Familiarized with it now? Good. Well X-Play had a Gameplay preview of the game recently. Looks like it will have a focus con co-op and have some fun weapons thanks to a made up power source called, wait for it, fuse. The game will be available for 360 and PS3 in March of 2013. If you want more details check out the preview.

So we started the recording a little late this week, so I am going to apologize now for the voices in the background playing Quarriors. Beyond that we do have talks of loaning games, old games, anime and a new game. VIVA LA GAMING!

And here are the notes you most likely won't read

More Wii Bundles

/

 

It appears that Nintendo is not going to let the Wii go quietly into the dark. Just a short time ago they announced a price drop and a new bundle for those that had yet to purchase a Wii, and now they have added fuel to that fire.  Today Nintendo has announced two more Wii bundles.

The first of these bundles is a White Wii that will come with a matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck as well as Ubisofts Just Dance 4. This bundle has an MSRP of $129.99. The other bundle is a blue Wii with matching Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck. Its big difference is that it will come with Skylanders Giant, one portal of power, two Skylanders characters and one exclusive Giant Skylander. This system has an MSRP of $149.99 attached to it. More money for more physical items I supposed.

Both of these bundles are set to be in stores on Nov 4, 2012 and will be availble in limited quantities. At least that is how I read "while supplied last" in the press release. What the starting supplies are though is anybody guess. 

Assassin's Creed III - Interactive Trailer

I don't know about you, but I am enjoying these interactive trailers that have become popular as of late. The latest of which to follow this new trend is Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed III. This one has a nice set of options for multiple viewings. Enjoy!

This Weeks Geek - The Assassins

/
Quiet, unassuming, deadly. These are the traits of a master assassin. They can blend in with a crowd, disappear into the shadows, kill a target without being spotted and then disappear without a trace. But why does one become an assassin? Is it for revenge? Are they born into it? Or is it something more? With the wealth of assassin based games that are coming out this season I felt now would be a great chance to look into this dark and seedy underworld.
