Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires delayed to February 24
Koei Tecmo has announced that Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires has been delayed and will now be released in February. Originally set for release at the end of this month, the PS4 and Xbox One game will be available in stores on on February 24. The game will also be released for the PS3, exclusively via the PlayStation Store, on the same day. Steam will begin selling the PC version on February 27, three days later.
In the meantime, you can check out the game’s “epic” opening movie, which was recently posted online by Koei Tecmo.
Broken Age: Act 2 will be available this Spring alongside retail version
Double Fine Productions and Nordic Games have announced that they’re bringing both halves of Broken Age to retail stores this Spring. The retail version of the PC adventure will be released at the same time as the digital launch of Broken Age: Act 2. A PS4/Vita version of the game is also in the works, but its release date is still “To Be Announced.”
If you were wondering why Double Fine would release Broken Age as a retail game, would you believe its to protect their game from solar flares?
“I am very excited about the retail version of Broken Age,” said Double Fine President and CEO Tim Schafer, “And also relieved, as having a widely distributed, physical copy of the game will make it more safe from solar flares and EMP bombs and stuff like that. As long as people store their disks in fire proof safes. People do that, right?”
“Not really” replied COO Justin Bailey, “But people who purchase the physical copy can get to playing the exciting conclusion without having to wait for the game to download!”
The retail version will also add a German language option when its released this Spring.

The Walking Dead Season 2: No Going Back Review: Darling Clementine
The two adaptations of The Walking Dead produced by Telltale have been nothing short of amazing. Some of the best storytelling I’ve ever experienced in a video game has come from these titles. That’s why it makes the finale of Season 2 so bittersweet… it means I’ll have to wait another year (at least) to see what happens in Season 3.
Last season, this wasn’t much of a problem: I purchased the full season when it was on sale, but it stayed in my backlog until Season 2 was announced. Then, I blazed through the first set of episodes in a five-day emotional rollercoaster. Once it was completed, I only had to wait a few months for the next chapter in Clementine’s struggle for survival.
But for now, I must wait. And it will be excruciating. Because chapter five of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead Season 2, No Going Back, marks the conclusion of one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. (more…)

Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s Dead Kings expansion will be available next week
Ubisoft has announced that Dead Kings, the downloadable expansion for Assassin’s Creed: Unity, will be released on January 13. As a way of apologizing for the bugs that still continue to plague the game, Dead Kings will be available as a free download for everyone who purchased a copy of Unity on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Unlike the spinoff settings of previous Assassin’s Creed DLC, Dead Kings will expand the main game’s campaign in new directions:
After the events of Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Arno leaves Paris for Saint Denis, a mysterious city that holds the crypts of deceased French kings. Sent on a mission to the extensive underground of the Basilica, Arno will face a faction of new foes, the Raiders, populating its catacombs. Equipped with a lantern and a new powerful weapon, the Guillotine Gun, Arno will have to navigate the dangerous passageways to uncover the darkest secrets of the city.
Don’t forget to check out the DLC’s debut trailer above and you can find more information about its content at the UbiBlog.

Tony Hawk talks up Pro Skater 2015 at CES 2015
Tony Hawk wants to remind all of us that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2015 is still in development. Taking the stage during Sony’s CES 2015 keynote, the famed skateboarder confirmed that the next Tony Hawk game is currently in development for the PS4.
But if you’re an Xbox One owner, fear not, Hawk told TMZ that the game is also in the works for Microsoft’s new-gen console back in November.
Hawk will once again be working with Activision to develop the console game, as well as a currently unnamed mobile spinoff to replace the previously announced Tony Hawk’s Shred Session, which was recently canceled (excuse me, “indefinitely postponed”). The last Tony Hawk game for consoles, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, was released in 2012.
