Review of the Week

This week, the weather has been nice, I voted and this all happened too:

UbiSoft News - Watch Dogs gets 3 things in a row

Those 3 things are, a new trailer (shown above), a release date and some news about the game's retail editions. The release date is set for towards the end November this year for PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360 and PC and will serve as a launch title for the PS4 and the next Xbox (and we'll assume that the game for those consoles will be around, in the console's releases). Regarding the retail editions, in addition to the very boring stand alone edition of the game, there are these editions as well:

Above is the Special Edition which I think will be the stand alone game with a DLC mission called the Breakthrough Pack which will enhance the driving experience of the game, in a way.

The Uplay exclusive edition, will have a steelbook case for the game along with everything from the special edition and 2 addition DLC missions which again, will enhance the gameplay with some added bonuses within.

Now here's where things get interesting. The Vigilante Edtion has only one DLC mission which is the Palace Pack (which is also available with the Uplay edition and the one below too), the game's soundtrack, Aiden Pierce's Cap and Mask (Aiden by the way, is the game's protagonist) and a collector's box for it all to go in.

Now if you're the ultimate nerd like me, this is the big one of the lot. This has everything from the Uplay edition, the game's soundtrack from the Vigilante Edition, an artbook, a map of Chicago (where the game takes place in), 3 exclusive badges, a set of 4 AR cards and a 23cm Aiden figure. Oh and a collector's box for all of it to be in. I'm sure your wallets will be in agony when you purchase any of these editions as they will be expensive, but worth it. I should also mention that in addition to AC4, this game will also have some exclusive content for PS3 and PS4 owners.

Futurama News - Game of Thrones star to appear in final episode

With the news that one of Matt Groening's shows is coming to a close, for good this time, there is some good news regarding one of the final episodes. Game of Thrones star, Emilia Clarke will appear in one of them as a flower shop owner with no sense of smell, as the episode will answer the question: will Zoidberg ever find love? Well it's good to know that even if the show gets cancelled, it will go out on a high, for sure.

As for other news this week, only David Tennant will return in Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special with the other doctors not appearing at all, SEGA and Gearbox get sued for falsely advertising Alien: Colonial Marines (no surprise there), UbiSoft claim that AC has a long way to go yet and it's Star Wars Day tomorrow so may the force be with us all.
