Here’s the launch trailer for Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Nicole Kline

Destiny is about to get some serious upgrades come December 9. The first expansion, The Dark Below, will include new story missions, new maps for competitive multiplayer, a new Raid, a new Strike, and a new level cap with new gear. That’s a lot of new! If you’ve already bought the Expansion Pass, or if you buy (and redeem) it before January 15, 2015, you also get the EV-30 Tumbler Sparrow.

Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below will be available on December 9 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. But, if you’re going to be in Las Vegas this weekend at the PlayStation Experience, you’ll get to play it a few days early.

Sony reveals special 20th Anniversary Edition PSone-themed PS4 console

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Nicole Kline

The original PlayStation launched 20 years ago, and to honor it, Sony has revealed a special 20th Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4 console. It’s completely grey, with a matching grey controller, and has that old-school four-color PlayStation logo on it. Each one also has a special plate on it denoting what number it is – there are only 12,300 being made globally, and you’ll get to see which one you have by looking at the aluminum plate on the front of the console. It also comes with a vertical stand and a grey PlayStation Camera.

Pre-orders for the PS4 20th Anniversary Edition will begin on Saturday, December 6th, during the PlayStation Experience. Sony will be giving more information about the pre-order during their keynote starting at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time). Hit the jump to see the unboxing video Sid Shuman did, where he gets to see the console for the first time.

I’m not going to lie… if I didn’t buy the PlayStation 4 at launch, I would be all over this console. I can’t justify spending another $400, but oh how I wish I could.

Sony Spain is teasing that something called Emagon will be unveiled on December 5

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Nicole Kline

This mysterious trailer has popped up on the Spanish PlayStation Blog for a game called Emagon (not to be confused with Eragon!). The Google Translate version of the post refers to the game (if it even is a game) as their “best kept secret,” and says there will be more information on December 5.

This is just before the PlayStation Experience out in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend, so hopefully Emagon will start it off with a bang.

Telltale Games is at it again. Just a week after the launch of the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands, they’ve outdone themselves and launched episode one of another series: Game of Thrones. The first episode, “Iron From Ice,” focuses on House Forrester of the North. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll recognize some of the voices, like Lena Headey, Natalie Dormer, and, of course, Peter Dinklage.

Game of Thrones: Iron From Ice is now available on the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It’ll be released for mobile devices and the PlayStation 3 soon.

Daily Scoop: December 3, 2014 – Rain, rain, rain

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Nicole Kline

I know it’s only been a couple of days, but it feels like it’s been raining in Philadelphia for forever. I almost forget what it’s like for it to not be raining. I want to be snuggled up under a blanket playing video games! That is the only cure for these rainy-day blues.

There aren’t too many game deals today, which I consider to be a good thing, because the last few days have seen a spike in my video game ownership. Over at the Humble Store, you can pick up MouseCraft for $7.49, Quest for Infamy for $9.99, and Jet Set Radio for $2.49. At Steam, the Midweek Madness deal is The Legend of Korra for $10.04, and the Daily Deal is Space Run for $5.99.

Just a few shirts today… (more…)

Daily Scoop: December 2, 2014 – Still can’t believe it’s December already

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Nicole Kline

This year has flown by way too fast, and I’m kind of in denial that it’s December already. Christmas is in 23 days? It’s almost 2015? Seriously what is happening here??? I need like another month. Slow down, time!

There are a couple of sales happening at the Humble Store right now. You can get Albedo: Tales from Outer Space for $5.99, Blades of Time – Limited Edition for $19.49, and Aliens: Colonial Marines for $2.99.

The Midweek Madness over at Steam is the Red Faction Collection, which is $8.99. You can also buy the individual pieces on sale if you want, but why would you do that? Of course you want the whole thing! Just gift out the pieces you already have. The Daily Deal is Star Wars Empire at War: Gold Pack, which is on sale for $6.80.

I found four video game shirts today – hit the jump to check them out! (more…)
