Watch Dogs: Will You Leave Los Santos for a While to Pay a Visit to Chicago?

I've been following the progress of Watch Dogs for almost a year, but lately I had been missing out on a lot of news and updates due to college work. So, just now I did some quick catch-ups because the longer I ignore them, the harder it would be for me to concentrate on my college work. I just had to get things out of my system quickly before I started walking on all fours. Anyway, I must say, I got a bit psyched reading all those gaming news. It seems like the most talked games are GTA V, Saints Row 4 and of course, Watch Dogs. The console gaming scene is obviously dominated by GTA V. Everything GTA V is a hot topic, haha.

I didn't really intend to post news regularly on this blog since I'm not a journalist myself. Besides, there are already a lot of major gaming websites to keep you updated with accurate news all over the web. But since I'm really into Watch Dogs, I'm gonna do a bit of that anyway. So, here's some Watch Dogs news I have collected from around the Internet.

Io Interactive Shows How Changes Can be Good, If Done Correctly

When Agent 47 took a razor blade and cut off his iconic bar code tattoo, I was devastated. "This can't be! This isn't right!" I exclaimed. "Anything but this!" I thought the bar code tattoo would be gone forever, until I got a close-up look of the back of his head when he was hiding inside a closet in the hippie level. I could see the bar code was still there, not at all gone, but almost entirely covered by poorly placed plasters. It was a huge relief for me. The bar code means a lot to long time Hitman fans like myself. You see, this is one of the huge changes that Io Interactive took on Hitman Absolution, among others, but fortunately, the same old ways are still there.

Indie Game of the Month: Barely Floating

So I guess posting an indie game weekly didn't work out since I don't really have the time to sit down and play, then write a post for it. So from this entry onward this section is called Indie Game of the Month instead, haha.

Kingpin - A Great Game That Was Released at the Wrong Time

I'm sure there's an extremely low chance that you might have heard of this game, let alone played it. This title was released back in 1999 to warm receptions from critics. 10 years after its release, I played it, loved it and even wrote a review (which I lost). Not only it was a decent game, it was also the atmosphere of the game that really caught me. Each chapter took place in grim but beautiful urban areas. But, if you look at this game today, this is not the most unique thing about it.

Tips and Tricks: Getting Quick XPs in Brink as a Soldier or an Operative

When it comes to giving XP points, Brink can be considered generous. But I’ll just make it quick, so if you’re XP greedy, then here are some tips for you.

Top 5 Games Everyone Is Playing Right Now That I Haven't Yet Played

Yup, the title explains everything. So here's the list of popular games everyone is playing right now that I somehow haven't played yet, excluding DotA. I am never gonna play that game. That's not because I hate it, but because everybody is playing it. So by the time I do, I would have no chance to win, because they all would be already a step ahead of me and also I suck, which is a bonus. Anyway, without further due, here's my list of games everyone is playing right now that I haven't yet played.

Borderlands 3 Wish List

(Will Be Updated from Time to Time)

When the first Borderlands dropped, the guys at Gearbox Software were so surprised by its unexpected success that they decided to work on a sequel. So, Borderlands 2 came out, building upon the same but improved gameplay mechanics introduced in its predecessor, as well as introducing new characters, guns, items, vehicles, environments and of course, enemies. Borderlands 2 was both commercially and critically successful, with over 3 million copies sold and Gameraking scores of 90.5% (PS3), 90.10% (PC) and 89.29% (Xbox 360) and Metacritic scores of 91% (PS3) and 89% (PC and Xbox 360).

Sure, Borderlands 2 offers us more things, which is the reason why it was so successful but we are greedy gamers. Admit it, we want more! We want more things. We want more improvements, we want more of everything! According to Gearbox, they have not put any work to Borderlands 3 yet, but they have plans on the direction that the series is going to take. So, it's safe to assume that Borderlands 3 is going to come out someday.

So here's our Borderlands 3 Wish List- the things that what we want in Borderlands 3.

Indie Game of the Week: The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac

It has been more than a week, in fact, nearly a month since the first Indie Game of the Week entry. It seems more appropriate to rename the section to "Indie Game of the Month" instead.

Make Up a New Class and Discover a Fun Way to Gain XP in Brink

Our main objectives are: destroy the pillar, escort the bot, destroy the bridge and hack the gate controls. I start as soldier, and just like most Brink players, I expect myself to change class from time to time. Little do I know that I am going to stay a Soldier until the end of the match.

2013 in Gaming, So Far

Is 2013 a good year for gaming? So far, yes. Well, most years are a good year for gaming, but some years do stand out than the rest. Maybe it's a bit early to confirm, but 2013 is most certainly going to be one of these years. Let's start with the news on the eight-gen console. Last February, Sony revealed the world their new console, PS4 at New York City. Then, 3 months later, rival Microsoft revealed their Xbox One. Just Google search "Xbox One vs PS4" and don't tell me you're surprised that the flame war has already started. There's also a newcomer in the market right now, Ouya, though I'm not sure what this console is. Next, as usual, the annual E3 this year took place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre in LA. And don't forget. Gamescom, the largest gaming event in the world, is going to be held at Germany mid-August this year.
