Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been officially unveiled and here’s you first look at it.
Unlike past Treyarch-developed CoD games, it looks like Black Ops 2 will take place in the future in the year 2025 as mechs, quadrotor attack drones and hover jets are shown in the trailer. Additionally, there’s a glimpse of Los Angeles and horse-riding as well, and the trailer is narrated by an elderly man named Frank Woods who is presumably the main character from Black Ops 1.
Black Ops 2 will be released on Nov. 13 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. As a person who was getting a bit jaded with the CoD series, I have to say that this trailer made me wet myself and definitely has me psyched for Black Ops 2.
Bethesda has just revealed on their blog that the name of their upcoming Skyrim DLC is called “Dawnguard.”
No other details are provided, but Bethesda posted a picture of the familiar-looking Dovakiin with glowing eyes (which can be seen above). Dawnguard will be available for the Xbox 360 this “summer,” and more details are said to be revealed at E3.
Sega characters will once again be racing head-to-head as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has been revealed.
The racing game, which is a sequel to 2010’s Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, will feature a mash-up of new and returning Sega characters like Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Super Monkey Ball’s AiAi, Golden Axe’s Gilian Thunderhead, and Skies of Arcadia’s Vyse. Like the name of the game suggests, you’ll now be able to drive in transformable vehicles, which will change into cars, boats and planes if you’re on land, water and air, respectively. In one track, for example, the road will collapse making your car turn into a boat as you now have to traverse a river rapid.
Sonic & All-Stars will include new tracks, with two based on Super Monkey Ball and Panzer Dragoon. There will also be a new mechanic letting your “All-Star bar” power up faster, and a new, “fair” weapon system will be implemented allowing you to block and dodge attacks. Additionally, the game will have an “enhanced” online multiplayer mode, along with Grand Prix and Battle Arena modes.
Sonic & All-Stars will be racing out in “late” 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo 3DS. It will also be available as a digital download on PC. Click here for more screenshots of the game.

The sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops was pretty much expected, especially if you happen to be a fan of the series. What was unknown is the release date of course, but luckily for us some new details have emerge that suggest the release date of 11.13.12, which is right around the corner. In an image posted on IGN, there are two Target Pre-Order cards one for the PS3 and the other for 360 that shed some light on a future game.
Since Black Ops was developed by Treyarch chances are that they are the studio behind this game as well, but I guess we will have to wait and see. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be announced on May 1st, 2012 at the NBA playoffs.

Game details
In Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants, players will embark upon an epic adventure through the Caribbean during the turbulent 17th century where the naval powers of Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands, all fight for supremacy in the colonies. Players take on the role of a young captain trying to build his fortune and reputation in the new world colonies. The campaign consists of two different paths for the young protagonist to follow: adventurer and trader.
Following the path of the adventurer will lead the player on a naval conquest where they must gain notoriety through raids, piracy, bounty hunting, plundering, and conquering cities as they strive to build their new Caribbean empire.
The route of the trader sees the player using their economic know-how to become the most powerful trading tycoon in the New World by setting up trade routes, building production facilities and developing cites.
In free-play mode, the player crafts a combination of the two paths, creating a unique and challenging scenario on the path to increase wealth and power.
