Will Fallout 4 be the greatest game of the next generation? by Carlos Javier aka Cheese

Without a doubt, Bethesda Softworks is planning on releasing what could be the greatest game of the next generation. Pete Hines, Vice president of Bethesda Softworks stated that the company acquired the rights to Fallout in order to produce many games.  Now that we are heading into the next generation of gaming, it is almost certain that the next Fallout title will be part of it.

Gears of War: What does its future hold?

Go to any gamer and they will tell you that Gears of War is one of the defining franchises representing this generation of gaming.  However, Gears of War’s future seems to be looking bleak.  Although I am a huge fan of the franchise, it is pretty hard to see any type of future for the remaining members of Delta Squad and the rest of the COG.  The release of Gears of War: Judgment did not go over so well with gamers; telling a story that not many fans of the franchise really cared about. The multiplayer also took a step back trying to bring in new concepts like its survival mode and overrun.  It almost looked like a third person version of Call of Duty, which really put distaste in my mouth.  The failure of Judgment has put the franchise in dire straits, however I believe Epic Studios has several options to potentially turn the franchise around.

Pokémon X & Y



Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS is the next installment in the Pokémon franchise and will be introducing a total of 69 new Pokémon for the 6th generation. Like every other Pokémon game before it, the game follows a linear storyline as events occur in a fixed order. Also like its predecessors it stars a young teenager with a dream of becoming the best Pokémon trainer in the region, the main goal in the game is to gather all 8 gym badges and eventually challenge the elite 4. The game takes place in the region of Kalos and the player gets to choose from Chespin, Fennekin or Froakie as their starter Pokémon and later in the game the player gets to choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle.

King B Kool Quick Review: Wind Waker HD



  When this game came out for the Gamecube I never really gave it a chance. I enjoyed what I did play - windfall island was fun and seemed like a good substitute for Hyrule town, but the control scheme kept me from investing the time I should have. There was something about navigating the ocean with a sail and a baton on a talking boat that just didn't captivate me the same way running across Hyrule did.
