The second season of The Walking Dead Video Game Ready for Autumn

No, we will not have to wait more than a year as Telltale Games, wrongly, was advancing, but will be this fall when we start receiving chapters in video games of the second season of The Walking Dead.

Telltale Games has corrected initial reports, and has come to confirm that the second season of The Walking Dead in video games will be available this fall. Initially, Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors, had told the British media Eurogamer, we would not see the first game of the second season of The Walking Dead to Fall 2014. A few hours later, in a statement issued at the average American GameInformer, correct and clarify that it was a misunderstanding and that the first chapters will come soon, this fall.

On the arrival of these new chapters to PlayStation 4, nothing is decided. Its officials admit they have had little contact with Sony's new platform, and this time, they can not confirm that they will work on PlayStation 4. In any case it seems more a move for Sony to contact them and provide them with the necessary tools to PS4 not run out the successful episodes of the series.

A few weeks ago, the writer of these downloadable titles, Gary Whitta, confirmed that, so you can wait, they will launch new additional content for the game's first season.

This year is shaping up as a good year for The Walking Dead. At the premiere of the third season of the series in Spain, we must add that Activision FPS released this year called The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U.

However, this trailer of Assassin's Creed 4 also brings us news that the game will not only be available to the current generation of consoles, but for PC, Wii U and PlayStation 4.

We still await the day of the official announcement by Ubisoft to know all the latest details on this new game, with new murderer and new historical period.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag points in late October with Next-Gen Consoles Versions

A few days ago we did not know anything about a new Assassin's Creed, but in the last few hours some information have been filtering where many details of the game that has already been shown to the press. But pending the next Monday, we have to settle with different information being filtered in forums and websites worldwide. the last thing we know from a screenshot that has gone around the globe, this new Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, would also in the next generation of consoles and your departure date would be for 29 October.

Earlier today Ubisoft confirmed that catches of the cover of the game that had appeared in the network were real, and therefore confirmed that Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is in development for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U . To this must be added another leak, and from a Ubisoft website itself, which stated that the game would appear on October 29 along with other versions for "next generation consoles".

Although it was initially assumed that the new Assassin's Creed will be located in Brazil, it seems that was not entirely true.

In a hypothetical Caribbean 1715, the protagonist would be Edward Kenway, Kenway Haytham's father, appeared in the previous installment of the series. Still clarify that none of this information is official, but the knowledge that the game has already been shown to the press, there is little speculation.

Tomb Raider Review

Tomb Raider is a third person action game in which Lara Croft, a young archaeologist, goes in her first expedition in search of adventure but, instead, is trapped on an island where a somewhat unbalanced individual wants to sacrifice his best friend and anyone who gets in his way to appease some inexplicable storms surrounding the mysterious piece of land. In this Tomb Raider analysis I review  the keys that will make this game a new myth.

Overall, Tomb Raider succeeds on two levels: The narrative is good and gets a connection to the main character rarely seen outside of an RPG, and the mechanics are solid and fun for the duration of the game. In fact, right now I can not think of anything bad about Tomb Raider.

New Lara Croft

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have made a major commitment here. Lara Croft has been in our lives since 1996. For some players this year will meet the twenty-few, Lara is as iconic as Sonic. Even more. When a character receives a redesign and restart your franchise to retell her story from a different point of view, the fans take to the streets with torches.

Tomb Raider present us a different  Lara Croft than we are used to. The whole game is put to use reforge a part of the video game story. With excellent results. I can not tell you how many times that of pure empathy, I closed my eyes and let out an "ouch" during the game. The new Lara is credible and deep, you can feel identified with it and would like to be her at times. Their decisions are brave but justified. All this is excellently integrated into the gameplay.

Lara's movements, and reacts to the proximity of enemies and the things she says to her heart, will evolve as Lara Croft goes from innocent and finally to Survivor. The very model of the protagonist changes at certain points of the game, physically representing the psychological and emotional change. It brought a smile to me when, in the middle of a firefight, Lara began to threaten their enemies the first time demonstrated to be afraid of "foreign".

Nothing new, Everything is Fine

To Game Level, Tomb Raider has a difficult job. The narrative of the game and its protagonist can be very attractive but without a fun gaming experience, it would be a good movie too expensive. Luckily, Tomb Raider is up to the challenge. Unfortunately, the risk was so high that they would not do anything too new. Tomb Raider reuses already proven formulas almost exclusively.

What are you going to be doing is moving between fights. To help movement is both easy and fun, Lara's control system is fluid, dynamic and fun. We require very little and there are only a handful of short sections where you need to go in a hurry. Halfway are stealth sections, some of them very intense. Other times the game jumps straight into battle without your permission. As you get used to is no longer annoying.

The combat is well balanced, which is saying a lot. Not much choice of weapons but each behaves different enough to find them eventually. The shotgun gives you more stuck in short-range, while the gun has that sense of subtlety that does not need a gun. If there is anything to complain about here, is the supernatural ability of enemies to know your exact location at all times. Just an enemy sees you for that with his telepathic powers, alert all their friends, who come to empty boots on feet wall behind which you are hiding.

While the campaign is pretty linear, the amount of collectibles and semi-open maps give enough room for exploration, which is properly rewarded for worthwhile. The tombs are moving puzzle challenges rather than logic. It's a shame, but better fits the atmosphere of the game.

Hell in paradise

As for the graphics, you have to look Tomb Raider with two lenses. On one hand, Lara models, the three that are used during the game, have a level of detail and quality with their impressive animations, especially in video scenes. Moreover, the environments are very nice ... until you get too close.

It is clear where the is interest on Tomb Raider. The balance is difficult but very accomplished. While a picture is generally rich environments are intended to convey emotion. When the camera descends to detail, it is normal that you're setting the protagonists, especially Lara, whose models have a flawless finish.

The level design of Tomb Raider goes along the narrative. Each phase corresponds to a point in history, to a situation where the nightmare that is the island. The objectives are well defined and obstacles, ground to cross or people to shoot are suited to the level expected of the player. From my perspective, this is one of the great triumphs of Tomb Raider: Making always feel challenged but never stuck.

Conclusion

9/10

An outstanding game that lacks only a little innovation to have marked an era. I love the new Lara Croft and I can not wait to see what the next mess mess in which the children of Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix.

Tomb Raider will appear on shelves next Tuesday March 5

As for the multiplayer, if any of you are going to buy this game, I'll be online on Tuesdays from 21:30 on XBOX Live Gamertag with ShishaMushroom, happy to take a few games and try it with you.

Play it if:

Looking for an adventure with a strong focus on the protagonist and its evolution
Today still think Lara Croft is a sexist and offensive stereotype
Want to see an innocent girl to survive and improve despite falling great distances and damage done muchisismo

Do not play if:

Want a Tomb Raider to solve puzzles like those of yesteryear. The franchise has reinvented
You had enough with Uncharted Uncharted
Some 18 hours of campaign you seem few. The game is much longer if you pick something that's on the way

Three random reasons to buy:

The reference to the "arrow in the knee" from Skyrim
Count the number of times incredible Lara falls embankments, cliffs and hills
Not a awkward single mini-game to arrange a radio, splinting an injury or anything else

The development of the RPG Game of Thrones began long before the TV series

George R.R. Martin has had immense care about Game of Thrones and the universe of "A Song of Ice and Fire", his popular series of books, and to whom gives the license to market his creation or take it to other media. this is one reason why the TV series produced by HBO is now an amazing worldwide phenomenon that has infiltrated the geek culture and beyond, while being transmitted by a pay channel.

It is therefore not surprising that the RPG game Cyanide Studios is preparing to have the same care, is that the study takes 7 years preparing the title in a time when the television series was "but a rumor." Martin has been closely linked to the project ensuring that the play reflects his view of that world of intrigue, murder and drama where we are constantly recommended that we prepare, as winter approaches.

Because it takes so much time in planning, it is possible to see the characters do not reflect 100% of the features we see on television incarnations, but the developers assure us that its essence lies in the creations of Martin, but also have surprises between the development of their adventures and missions as they wanted to include some elements that might surprise the players, despite having read the books.

Some previews have shown that the graphics could be considered as nothing out of this world and apparently the game has a few hours of play, but still have to see if this release has the quality that books and television series has accustomed us . Hope so.

Game of Thrones will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC beginning this May 15 in North America and in the first week of June for Europe.

Avengers: Battle for Earth will be released for Wii U and Kinect

Marvel Comics teams up with Ubisoft to launch the title The Avengers: Battle for Earth, which will be available for U Wii and Xbox 360 Kinect from this fall, although no exact date.

 

The game will unfold around the comics event "Secret Invasion" that took place in 2008 and where green aliens able to change shape called Skrulls, have been gradually replacing many of the super heroes of the Marvel Universe by their own agents to invade earth.

During the story we will see more than 20 characters but so far there are only four confirmed as available for use: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk.
Tony Key, vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft Quebec says:
 
"Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games will love the extensive combination of characters, controlled movements with the body and competitive gameplay."

Secret Invasion is a crossover whose story line has nothing to do with the recent film The Avengers, but surely the success it is having on theaters will serve as a good springboard to get better sales.

And another thing that strikes me curious ... what capabilities the Wii U will truly have  if a game can be adapted to both the new Nintendo console and the Kinect? At least clear that they are two completely different forms of gameplay, but if so, why not release it to the PS3 too? We have to wait and see...
