On the second part of this Let’s Play Watch Dogs Samuel starts it off right with a crash, a chaotic police chase, breaking into a new car, checks into the Owl Motel, BadBoy17 makes contact, the skill tree makes itself known, a few audio files are checked out, and Samuel goes out to take down a crime and find a strange package.

Hyrule Warriors News
Hyrule Warriors News
So with E3 just around the corner we’re already getting a lot of new information about the upcoming game Hyrule Warriors. This crossover between Dynasty Warriors and Legend of Zelda has many fans wondering what kind of game this will be and has millions of fans eagerly waiting for more information.
We know a little more about the series. First of all we know via twitter that the game will feature Zelda voice acting so they are not going to do anything crazy like make Link talk. That’s a huge relief. Second we have reason to believe that this game is going to lean closer to Dynasty Warriors gameplay rather than Legend of Zelda with this comment from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma: “There wouldn’t be a reason for making it a Warriors [game] otherwise, right? I wanted Tecmo Koei to make a Zelda game that I can’t make. And for this reason, I asked them to ‘give it more of a Warriors approach.” This may or may not work well. Sure it does add a unique entry to the series but it also may give the impression that this is simply a knock off of the series. We’ll just have to play the game to be sure.
I’m still really excited for the game; however, with such a change to the series comes great risk. The Legend of Zelda series changed its format one time with Legend of Zelda II and over 20 years later Nintendo will try to drastically change the format a second time. Will this go over well is hard to say but without a doubt the game will be exciting. The question is, will it be Zelda?

Nintendo’s Newest Gaming Enhancement
New Nintendo Hardware
It looks like Nintendo plans to go the route of Spyro and Disney by adding figures which can be used with games to enhance the gaming experience. While it’s not revealed how exactly Nintendo plans to accomplish this we know it’s highly possible that it will be included with the Wii U version of the new Super Smash Brothers game.
Personally I’m not sure about this idea. If done well it could really add a lot to the games with added content and possible collective merchandise to go with the game. As a collector myself that aspect really appeals to me, but Samuel addressed a concern that I also had with this new development. Samuel feels that this is just a ploy to make up for Nintendo’s monetary issues. I personally don’t care but I feel like it could possibly make Nintendo rush this idea and mess it up to the point of disaster.
I can see this idea possibly going very well for Pokemon with so many possible figures to make but I struggle to see how this idea can be applied to games like Zelda, Mario, Golden Sun and Fire Emblem.

Avengers 2 is Halfway Done
Avengers 2 is Halfway done
Joss Whedon has tweeted that he is halfway through shooting Avengers 2. This is in the mist of news that Josh Brolin will be playing Thanos who will appear in Avengers 2 along with the new characters Vision, QuickSilver, Scarlet Witch, and of course Ultron. We also know that The Hulk will play a much bigger role to the movie than in Avengers 1.
With all the info we have on Avengers 2: Age of Ultron it’s clear that this movie is going to be detailed and very involved. If done well it could easily surpass the first Avengers which is an incredible accomplishment, but it could still fail and have too much in it for fans to follow.
In the previous movie all Marvel had to establish was Hawkeye who was only previously used in Thor before the movie’s release. In the sequel we have several characters that will appear in the movie to go with the already returning characters. It’s clear that the movie has great potential and Whedon is talented enough to make it happen but he still dances on a thin line between greatness and disaster.

Updates on Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Update on Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
So as you can see from the image Swampert and Sceptile will gain mega evolutions to complete mega evolutions for all the generation three starters. Sceptile’s Mega evolution will add a Dragon type which will help with super effective fire type moves but increase the weakness to ice and add a weakness to Fairy and Dragon Type moves so overall type wise it might actually make the weaker. As for Mega Swampert it’ll still be a Water/Ground type but from how it looks it is fair to assume it’s going to be a huge increase to its defense stat.
Three more mega evolutions have been confirmed first is Mega Diancie. Diancie is a special event pokemon not yet released in the U.S so not a whole lot is known about it, but the huge bit of news is that Groudon and Kygore are getting mega evolutions. While we don’t know what those forms look like we do know it’s going to have an ancient prehistoric theme to their appearance.
While this is all the confirmed news we also can see from the images above that the new Pokemon Games will keep the same format as Pokemon X and Y with 3D battles and gameplay. This makes me really excited for the Secret Base aspect of the original games. Making a secret base and seeing it in 3D will really evolve an already popular aspect that we haven’t seen in a long time. I don’t count Generation four secret bases because the underground aspect really killed it for me.
