Good morning fellow gamers! Been a SUPER busy week so I have had ZERO time to game this week other than The Simpsons: Tapped Out on my phone. The Treehouse of Horror Halloween stuff has been a freaking BLAST though!
Before I get into the new stuff, I wanted to mention a really cool charity event going on this weekend. It's from a group called Extra Life and locally my buddy JoAnna (friedricearoni@powerupsnotincluded.com) is participating. The concept is that gamers dedicate a day and an hour (25 hours total) to play video games non-stop to raise funds for a local charity. JoAnna will be playing for Vidant Children's Hospital and has some awesome prizes up for grabs if you donate like a PS3, custom jewelry, and more. Click here to get more info and make a donation.
Now, let's take a look at some new stuff...
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag invades Xbox360, PS3, and Wii U this week. It's the 6th in the series and you play as Edward Kenway, the father and grandfather of the characters in AC3. You'll cross swords with the likes of Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny in various locales in the Bahamas.
Battlefield 4 makes its way to Xbox360, PS3, and PC this week. It's a FPS but unlike it's competitor Call of Duty, this one features destructible backgrounds and vehicular warfare. This one brings back the popular "Commander Mode" that was absent in the last version.
WWE 2K14 leg drops its way to Xbox360 and PS3 this week. This one includes a HUGE roster and a "30 Years of Westlemania Mode" where you can recreate legendary matches from Wrestlemania.
Angry Birds Star Wars breaks the smartphone border and comes to Xbox360, Wii, Wii U, Vita, and 3DS this week. Same as the original with 20 new levels and competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes.
And a few other games you might want to know about this week:
Sonic: Lost World zips to Wii U and 3DS. (Trailer)
Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures haunts Xbox360, PS3, Wii U, PC, and 3DS this week. It's based on the Disney series. (Trailer)
Beyblade: Evolution is a game version of the "battle tops" toys for 3DS with 500 custom components to design your Beyblade. (Trailer)
Monster High: 13 Wishes is a Nintendo exclusive for Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and DS featuring the daughters of legendary monsters like Draculaura. (Trailer)
Football Manager 2014 is a SOCCER sim for PC and Mac.
And there you have it, huge new sequels from big franchises, a kickass charity built by our fellow gamers, and some random games to try out. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
