Apparently we have more Gears of War coming our way. Recently Rod Fergusson tweeted that, unfortunately, there will be no collection centered around Marcus Fenix coming anytime soon. Although, he did mention that in fact Black Tusk is working on other Gears of War projects, plural. I love the passion, but there’s no Marcus Fenix Collection. We ARE working on other exciting Gears projects. I’ll see you at E3! — Rod Fergusson (@GearsViking) March 19, 2015 Kind of...

Getting slaughtered in the harsh land of Mordor? Yeah, I was having a hard time too. A few moments of letting my guard down, led to the rapid promotion of a couple of captains. The world around me seemed to be growing at a pace I couldn’t keep up with. Outnumbered and under-powered, I decided to restart my journey and pay close attention to the world around, to learn to be the predator and not the prey. Here are some of the ways that I accomplished that. Learn to hunt...

Microsoft E3 Press Conference: Throwing Down the Gauntlet
The new generation of consoles is here and Sony has jumped out to an early lead. It’s clear that Microsoft has been feeling the pressure as sweeping changes were rolled out for Xbox Live and Kinect is going to be taken out of the box to lower the price to $399.99. I was looking forward to what Microsoft had in store for us in their E3 press conference and I was not disappointed. Phil Spencer came out at the beginning, with a short scripted thank you to the legion of Xbox...
Second Titanfall Patch Nerfs Gooser, Players Rejoice
The second Titanfall patch went live today with a ton of fixes, updates and most importantly, the nerfing of the Gooser regen requirement. In case you don’t know, you must complete specific challenges in order to regen in Titanfall (which is much like prestige in CoD). One of the challenges for the level 5 regen was called Gooser. You were expected to kill 50 ejecting pilots in order to proceed to the next gen. This is a difficult task and the community let Respawn...

Gamers Still Not Crazy for Digital Games
It appears as if gamers are still not ready to go fully digital. While many welcome the idea, there seems to be something keeping many from going the full digital route. From a report through the NPD, it seems that gamers, even when preferring digital, still buy a physical copy of a game. Gamers that prefer digital games over physical, still play far more physical copies of games over digital. Also, the increase from players that prefer digital, to actually playing more...
