Battlefield 4 skipping Wii U
Another day and another third party titles misses the Wii U. At this point Nintendo has to be concerned. 
Speaking to VideoGamer.com last night, creative director Lars Gustavsson explained that the decision to skip Wii U was to “ensure that [the team] deliver something good”, rather than “risking” the project by stretching the team too thin.
Rigggght. Yet it’s still coming to PS3, 360, PC and without a doubt next-gen systems like PS4. Nintendo needs to do something soon, what is anyone’s guess. Moneyhats?

Sometimes you’re just playing a game and magic happens. Magic that wasn’t supposed to. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen just transported me to space while I was just strolling along hunting monsters at night. The crappy thing is, the spot seems to be moving…

Call of Duty GHOSTS teaser trailer confirms Xbox next gameplay reveal

Well, we called it! Not that it was some damn long stretch of the imagination or anything. Expect to get your first look at gameplay no doubt running on the next-gen Xbox May 21st. Gotta start that next-gen buzz off with a little Call of Duty. 

Telltale’s Poker Night 2 just recently became available for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360. Has anyone else gotten to dabble into it yet?
 You play as a mute character, the other players like to tease and make fun of. The others? Brock Samson from The Venture Bros, Sam, from Sam & Max [Max is also there assisting Sam], Ash Williams from The Evil Dead and ClapTrap from the Borderlands series. The dealer is none other than GLaDOS from the Portal series, being her usual intimidating and insulting self. Mad Moxxi from the Borderlands series serves up drinks, but is ultimately silent the whole time. Buying the other characters in the game a drink, helps the likelihood of calling their bluffs or non-bluffs. Captain Reginald Van Winslow [Tales of Monkey Island] also makes an appearance as s casino chief.
That’s a lot of characters to name drop, huh? The game has been ridiculously humorous and engaging. The game allows you to have chances of winning items like in-game card decks, tabletop designs and chips. You also, depending on which platform you are playing on, have chances to win Borderlands 2 content, XBOX avatar items, PS3 themes and Team Fortress 2 items on Steam.
The game features two versions of poker, Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha Hold ‘Em. Party Banter goes a long way, but some jokes are repeated and does lose charm eventually. 
An iOS version is also on it’s way, no date announced just yet.
Score: 8/10. Fun, simple and hilarious. Jokes eventually get stale.

One-Sided Interaction: BLAMMO

E3 is so close, I can almost feel it. I don’t know why I get so excited about it, either. Every year, leading up to it, I’m foaming at the mouth. Then, about halfway through the actual event, I want to be back to my normal life. I’m tired, I’m sick of seeing shooter #85678457 of the show, and then to cap it all off, I remember that I’m primarily a PC gamer, so much of this is a sideshow for me.
