The show launch will be soon after - distribution method almost finalised.
Looking forward to this.
Dishonored DLC: ‘Dunwall City Trials’ is out today
Still need to play this game, but it’s on my LoveFilm list.
Double Fine’s Kinect Party is free until 31st December on XBLA
Sure it’s a Kinect game, but it’s fun, and it’s free. So take your complaining somewhere else.
The Last of Us Trailer
Looks utterly fantastic. Shame they went with zombies, as there’s a real feel of ‘The Road’ in there.
There’s definitely some Walking Dead atmosphere in there too, even without the zombies, and I get the impression that it’s as much as about the relationship between the two protagonists as it is the world around them.
New Tomb Raider Trailer
This is looking fantastic, now. Even if Far Cry 3 has sort of just taken the same story and done it sooner, I’m looking forward to this game out Uncharted-ing Uncharted.

‘The Phantom Pain’ Announced at 2012 VGAs
The Phantom Pain was one of only two big announcements at this year’s VGA’s (the other being Dark Souls II) and might not be all that new after all. You can see the debut of the in engine footage here starting at 10:45.
Word on the internet is that this new game for next gen consoles is in fact Metal Gear Solid 5. Or perhaps Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Are they just one in the same? Who knows. NeoGAF has been hard at work picking apart the trailer and at least to me it is pretty clear Phantom Pain is some kind of Metal Gear game. The main characters has a mullet for christ sakes.
However, master of the VGA’s himself, Geoff Keighley, took to Twitter to dismantle any of those claims saying “Thanks for all the VGA feedback. The Phantom Pain is an a completely game[sic], nothing that has been shown before. I assure you of that.” If the harbinger of Doritos-Dew says it’s new it has got to be right?
I think it is pretty clear that The Phantom Pain is some sort of Metal Gear game that Kojima and company will continue to tease for years and years to come.
So that’s Rising, Ground Zeroes and MGS V coming, in the next couple of years. Oh man, oh boy.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/41c2b8f6b00e065c7233093e863744cd/tumblr_mepc2lcLRL1rp61eno1_500.jpg)

BioShock Infinite Delayed Again
BioShock Infinite has been delayed. It’s not the worst delay in the world, it must be said - it’s been shoved back a month, putting its new release date at March 26th.
Irrational’s Ken Levine announced the delay at a preview event, blaming recent hire Rod Fergusson (formerly production director at Epic Games).
“Okay, guys, I have some bad news,” said Levine. ‘When Rod came on the project a couple of months ago – and this dude is living in a hotel nearby because he really wanted to work on Infinite – he really fell in love with the game. But he said, ‘look, Ken, I really think the game would benefit from three or four more weeks’.
“I thought ahead to this conversation and went ‘Oh God!’ But at the end of the day, we’ve got to ship a great game. So if it’s three or four more weeks, then it’s three or four more weeks. So it’s March 26th, now.”
Delays are ALWAYS a good thing (although no amount of delays would have saved, say, Duke Nukem Forever) but I’m happy with this one. If it means truly delivering on the vision originally set out in the stunning announcement trailer back in August 2010, then I’m ok about it.
Plus, it’s only four weeks later, get a grip.
A game about becoming a gamer
As the old saying goes; “Don’t hate the player, hate the game about the player.”
Nintendo blocking 18+ rated Wii U eShop content before 11pm
Nintendo of Europe blocks access to 18-rated content on the Wii U eShop at certain times of day, system messages suggest.
Users are unable to access trailers for 18-rated Wii U games or buy 18-related content.
The issue first came to light after a NeoGAF user experienced the issue and contacted Nintendo of Italy’s customer support.
“Dear customer,” a Nintendo representative replied, “we would like to let you know that Nintendo has always aimed to offer gameplay experiences suited to all age groups, observing carefully all the relevant regulations regarding content access that are present in the various European countries.
“We have thus decided to restrict the access to content which is unsuitable to minors (PEGI) to the 11pm - 3am time window.”
Erm, WHAT.
Halo 4 sold 3.2m in US during November
Microsoft’s Halo 4 sold 3.2 million units in the US during November, according to NPS sales data leaked by analyst firm Cowen and Company.
The title was the second biggest boxed game in the region during the month, with Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 topping the charts with 7.5 million units sold.
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed III also performed well, shifting 2.9 million units, while further down the sales chart was Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed: Most Wanted, selling 509,000 units.
Gotta feel sorry for NFS, especially after all the really positive reviews it received.
