The sequel to the 2012 hit (and one of my personal favorite games of that year), Far Cry 3, has finally been announced – and it seems like the developers at Ubisoft are mixing things up even more this time around.

Earlier today, Microsoft discussed all of their plans going into June with both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, including a cheaper, Kinect-less One.

Over the weekend, Tripwire Interactive surprised everyone by revealing a sequel to their cooperative zombie slaughtering hit, Killing Floor, and it’s sounding very promising so far.

Harmonix Turns to Kickstarter to Bring Back a Classic: Amplitude

People who have been fans of rhythm games long before Guitar Hero put the genre in the mainstream light were likely huge fans of a game called Amplitude. After more than 10 years, Harmonix is bringing back the game that helped start it all, and they’re looking to their long time fans and Kickstarter to help make it happen.

Today in WTF news, GameStop has announced that they will be closing 120 of their gaming stores, and replacing them with 200-300 new stores that focus entirely on mobile and tablet devices. Wait a minute, what!?

That’s right, for those of you who may live in a smaller town or rural area, chances are your local GameStop will soon be no more. In its place will be yet another store dedicated to everything “mobile.” Clearly, we don’t have enough of those just yet. Gamers who don’t have a local “ma and pa” store will likely no longer have the joy of being able to go to a place where they’re sure to be among others who actually understand and can talk about their favorite hobby. Sure, there are still the alternatives, but they’re severely lacking what GameStop has always offered – a place specifically for gamers.
