Assassins Creed Syndicate The Next Infinite Warfare

Assassin's Creed Syndicate was released on October 23, 2015 but I for one did not buy it because it had lacked the multiplayer aspect and had implemented futuristic gadgets which the franchise is not known for. The carriages are a big thing here. Not only can you grab or hijack one to get you from A to B in half the time, but certain missions – and all kidnap missions – involve speeding away from pursuing Blighters with their own wheels to use. This is a lot of fun in short doses, as you weave your way through the horse-drawn traffic, side-swiping or shooting the enemy to wipe them off your tail, with responsive controls and all those great London sights to speed on past.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is here!

          Released on April 26, Uncharted 4 received near perfect ratings from IGN, GameSpot and MetaCritic. Naughty Dog's excellent pacing of action is what makes the game receive such high reviews. The story unfolds at a good pace, mixing up locations and characters when and where required, but there are instances when a puzzle is repeated one too many times or a stretch of traversal goes on too long. Uncharted 4 is far from a slog, but shaving fifteen minutes from a handful of chapters could have made the game even leaner. Early on, Uncharted 4 hops quickly from time period to time period, chapter to chapter, in an attempt to set things up but also rush to the story proper. Once Sam and Nate are reunited the game settles into a nice rhythm that builds and builds until a thrilling climax, not overplayed like its predecessors, that ties together the game's themes of obsession and fulfilment brilliantly. As the end of Nathan Drake's story, it couldn't have been better handled, and the epilogue – well, it's a scene you won't forget in a hurry. If you haven't played any Uncharted games, you are definitely missing out. However, you can just hop right in even if its a sequel.

New 'Tetris' Movie: Great Idea or Epic Fail?

We all remember the pain in our thumbs after pushing on the keys of our flip phones for hours. The frustration when we only needed one piece, and, of course, it never came into view on our small screens. Many of us have probably forgotten about this old game and replaced our distractions with Angry Birds and 8 Ball Pool. However, our beloved game is making a return... but with a slight change. According to idigitaltimes.com, Larry Kasanoff has come up with the brilliant idea to turn Tetris into a Sci-Fi film. Of course, this isn't the first video game related movie to be produced. Wreck-It-Ralph, for example, was a big hit among viewers. The same can't be said for the newer Angry Birds film, which received a 57% on rotten tomatoes. Kasanoff reported to the Wall Street Journal that, "This isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running across the page." So what exactly is the plot of this film? A world belonging to the player of the Tetris game? An apocalyptic scenario in which people are getting killed from giant blocks falling from the sky? The success for this film doesn't seem too likely. What's your opinion about this upcoming movie?

Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare Has 1.5 Million Dislikes

Call of  Duty Infinite Warfare is the most disliked game in the history of all video games. The people want a game that goes into the past not the future and Activision is giving them a game exactly opposite than that of what people want. However, CEO Eric Hirshberg states that obviously it isn't good to have this many dislikes but at least we know that this game has the best community built around it where people who play the game actually care about what the game looks like.

Overwatch Beta

The Overwatch Beta has been out from May Fifth to May Tenth. After playing a couple of rounds of the Overwatch Beta (at least on the PS4's version) I can say that it has it's up's and down's.

Just to sum up what Overwatch is, it's a first person multiplayer shooter created by Blizzard Entertainment. The game offers for different game modes, the first being Assault, in which the attacking team has to try to capture two point's while the defending team has to prevent them from capturing the point's. Escort has the attacking team try to take their VIP, or payload to the other side of the map, while the defending team has to prevent them from escorting their VIP or payload. The third mode is a combination of Assault and Escort, in which the attacking team has to capture point's before being able to move their objective. The final game mode is Control, in which both team's have to compete for a control point until one team get's it to 100%. This would be played in a best of three.

There is a big number of playable character's that are put into four classes, Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. While the large number of playable characters is something that many people would enjoy, this may get boring after several matches, since there are not that many way's to play the character's in new and interesting way's. This may be biased, but I'm a gamer who has also played Team Fortress 2, which is similar to Overwatch, but there are different way's to play certain character's in the game, making it new and fresh every time.

Disney Cancels 'Infinity'

Disney recently revealed that they will be cancelling their 'Infinity' video game serious. According to engadget.com, Disney stated that "lower results" made this move. That can be analyzed that the games weren't selling well and were also expensive to produce. There will be two last releases before the games discontinue- one for Disney's new Alice movie and one for the new Finding Dory movie. Unfortunately, this also isn't the first time Disney's quit on the gaming world. Disney has been struggling financially for a good amount of time, but the games were a cute reflection on loved Disney movies. Do you think this will have any effect on people in the gaming world? Or do you think the games weren't played enough?
