Astro have just announced a new version of their popular A40 headsets. The 2013 refresh of the premium lineup includes a host of new features to both the headsets themselves and the mixamp. This refresh comes a few months after Astro released their first wireless set - the Astro A50.
A big deal was made out of the original Epic Mickey's moral choices, but in actuality how you interacted with the game had little impact on the conclusion. Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two looks to remedy this by reinforcing the importance of Mickey’s magic paint brush in the sequel. Will you create a new world by...
Though Nintendo was shooting for Pikmin 3 before the end of 2012, it looks like it will just make the cutoff of the Wii U’s launch window next year.
Another year, another Call of Duty. CoD: Black Ops 2 will be out in a little under a month. Chances are you or someone you know will be picking it up. The new trailer looks like a Michael Bay movie, and that's not a bad thing for a video game. I just wish they'd go ahead and give this sucker a two to four player cooperative campaign. Why? Because I think it would be neat. But I don't want to tell Activision their business. They seem to be able to move product just fine.
Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is still happening. I actually picked up the first game and played through a few levels. It's not bad, but it fizzles after a few hours. The fact that Ken and Company handle like bulldozers doesn't help. The upcoming sequel is supposed to address the problematic controls and several other issues. Fans of the magna and anime should keep tabs on this one.
Ratloop just loves launching their Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken games in October. First the Playstation network version debuted October last year, and now the PC version has just launched on Steam. Somebody tell them how crowded the season is! That's alright, though. PC players can finally engage in the action-platformer's 10-stage co-op campaign or the separate 15-mission single-player campaign. What's more, the PC version adds online co-op on top of the previous version's local co-op.
I really like Serious Sam, and had an awful lot of chaotic fun with the PC version of Serious Sam 3: BFE, so when an Xbox Live Arcade port was announced, I was more than happy to check it out. As with most good things in life, it comes with a downside, and a potentially... Serious... one.
After many years (three to be exact) and many interviews (three to be exact) - including a podcast, a PAX, and another PAX; we finally have some concrete details about Monaco's console release. While we previously knew we'd be seeing the game on the PC, exactly which console(s) the game would be hitting as well was a great mystery.
By now you must have heard that we're gearing up for Extra Life, a 24 hour gaming marathon for charity. We're raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

As it turns out, Halo 4 will be packing so much content that gamers will have two discs instead of one in their purchases.
Disney have released a new set of screenshots for the upcoming platformer, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii game teams up Mickey with Oswald as they adventure through classic Disney locales utilizing the power to create or destroy to solve puzzles.
We're fast approaching the release date of Assassin's Creed 3, the next game in the series which takes place during the American Revolutionary War. After many, many rumors we finally got confirmation of co-op for the game, though it's a separate mode called Wolfpack. But confirmation was all we had and we haven't heard much else since. Now with the October 30th release date just two weeks away, we've got a few more details to share - including a new multiplayer video.
