A couple of weeks back,it was announcedthat a free downloadable track based on theGod of Warseries would be coming out forGuitar Hero IIIon the PlayStation 3. Now, we have a little preview as to what thatGoWinspired track will sound like thanks to this sneak peek trailer. The song is called “The End Begins (To Rock)” and the short trailer has footage from theGoWgames mixed in with the note sheet.I was a little worried as to what a heavy guitar influencedGod of Warsong would sound like....

I’ve found over the years that lots of MMORPGs release with a good artistic style while at the same time missing out on offering an engrossing atmosphere. Funcom’sThe Secret Worldis one that definitely takes an interesting approach, a mixture of modern styling with otherworldly Gothic horror. A new trailer has been released that is all about the atmosphere. Featuring a location in the game referred to as “Blue Mountain,” it shows the dark and dreary landmarks of the area, such as broken-down refineries, with mood-setting shadows and fog like something straight out of aSilent Hill....

EA didn’t break down sales figures, but one can reasonably assume we’re past three million, given the monetary amounts involved. Mass Effect 3was credited alongsideKingdoms of Amalur: ReckoningandFIFA StreetandSSXfor giving EA strong financial results this quarter....

It’s just another part of your living room Microsoft has spent the better part of a decade trying to “own the living room”. It’s still trying to do that, but it aims to take a more covert approach with the Xbox One. Before today’s reveal,Wiredspoke with Scott Dallmeyer, a senior industrial designer on the Xbox One. He explained Microsoft’s desire to blend into the living room. Dallmeyer said “Previously, we were a vertical icon; we really stood out....

Good tip Nintendo keeps chugging along with officialZelda: Breath of the Wildtips, and I really think they could do one per week for several years and still not run out of material. This one involves a very cool tip that started circulating when the game launched — if you give a Rock Octorok (in Death Mountain) a rusty weapon, it’ll turn it into a shiny version. For those who aren’t in the know, Nintendo has been running official tip announcements in the “news” section of the Nintendo Switch main menu, which typically provide players with the power to pick up an unlimited amount of items....

Bear is driving! How can that be? Heroes of the Stormis stepping away from theDiabloevent as of today, and is focusing more onWarcraftandStarcraftin the coming months. The Treasure Goblins are out, and Rexxar, the half-orc half-ogre is in, with his partner Misha the bear (albeitwith some launch issuesfor some). Here’s some quick thoughts on whether or not he’s worth your 15,000 gold. Rexxar is a warrior, so it’s important to note outright that he’s going to be a bit more tanky than you’d expect, and doesn’t pack as much of a punch as an assassin....

It has wolf puppies! Folk have been wondering what Michel Ancel’s new project is and today we got our answer,WiLD. We saw a lovely looking trailer with lush forest, verdant grasslands and a pair of hunters trying to live off the land. Ancell says that players can play as “anything” in the game but what that actually means is anyone’s guess at this stage. We did see the female hunter reach for some eggs at the start of the trailer and by the end she had a huge eagle; maybe some form of “domestication” mechanic?...
