Since the announcement of the fourth installment of “Ghost Recon” by UBISOFT  back in January 22, 2009, Gamers across the globe have been itching to get their hands on Tom Clancy’s latest release of Future Soldier. Well wait no longer! Officially released at midnight in the U.S. “at select locations of GAMESTOP” players had a go at the future technology and weapons that the game had to offer. Based in Moscow,Russia, gamers get the choice of single player, multi-player, or co-op game modes

Ghost Recon takes place in the near future, where opticle camo 2.0, drones, and Warhounds (Mech-Type Future Tank ) are common on the battlefield. A ghost team is taken out by a dirty bomb, so another Ghost team ” Kozak, 30k, and the leader Pepper,” are sent in to find out where the bomb came from. During their journey you get to experience the features Ubisoft have been tuning up for the past two years such as partially destructible environments, cool team based game play, and realistic situations like constant airstrikes that keep the ground shaking, and your mind boiling, so get in the action now on the Playstation3, Xbox360, and PC, while you still have a ground to stand on.

Super exited as we get closer to the release of one of my all time favorite games Double Dragon!  One of my first impressions of the game back in 1987 (when ” Technos Japan” Double Dragon made its  debut on the NES in N.America by “Tradewest”) was WOW I cant believe my friend and I can fight together at the same time and use the objects around us as weapons! Abodo never could stand up after that Barrel to the dome, but now Billy and Jimmy Lee have bigger problems to face. Summer of 2012 is when the new DOUBLE DRAGON NEON is expected to hit the HD big screen, and Skullmageddon “the new boss”has no problem holding on to Marian for awhile longer!

WAYFORWARD & MAJESTICO Entertainment have taken on the challenge of bringing the legacy back to life. Double Dragon Neon is an 80′s style 2-D side scroller on steroids. Billy and Jimmy look insane with their new 3-D makeover, HD graphics, and tight pants. Expect to see Double Dragon fight its way onto the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 systems this summer 2012.

Sleep is not an option come June 2012, the approximate date Dice is planning on rolling out it’s highly anticipated first of 3 expansion packs “Close Quarters”. Included in this pack are 4 new maps and 10 new weapons to accompany all your hardcore killing needs! Battlefield is usually known for its huge open world environments taking advantage of the Frostbite2 engine, this time they are focusing more on Infantry themed game-play similar to that of Modern Warfare style head on massacre set to add a more competitive gaming experience.Think Operation Metro style maps that are said to have added perks such as high definition destruction, which in turn delivers highly destructible environments. Next to the 10 new weapons that include guns like the SPAS-12 Semi-Auto Shotgun, or the MTAR-21 also known as the TAR-21 assault rifle. There  will be 5 unique dog tags, and new assignments, “To unlock the guns of course!” If that’s not enough for you, rumors of a Battlefield Premium have been floating around the web lately,” Even though we already have Battlelog that’s free”which is said to be a COD: Elite type service. Social networking seems to be the mainstream thing, so why not? Be sure to check out “Close Quarters” come June 2012, and I’ll see you on the Battlefield.

IGN has posted a new trailer for Naughty Dog’s upcoming “The Last of Us”, a game exclusive to the PlayStation 3. In this new trailer we get a small glimpse of the post-apocalyptic game as well as the two main characters Joel and Ellie. The game already looks great and if you like the Uncharted Series this is one that you will probably enjoy as well. The Last of us will be seen at the Sony booth over at E3, so be sure to look out for our coverage on this game.

Darrell Gallagher, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics had some good news today:

“A Message to the Tomb Raider Community

When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.

Good News? What?  Well first off, as we start hitting the third quarter of  2012 we will be stacked with heavy hitters such as BlackOps2, Hitman  Absolution, GTAV, HALO4, and maybe if your lucky a Princess Diaries in Princessland game. Second, it gives the developers more time to sharpen up the game.

After the adrenaline starts to deplete come early 2013, games like Tomb Raider Reboot and BioShock Infiniti can start to shine. Wow what a great year in video games this is going to be! Look out Drake, here comes Laura!
