Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Posted: 6/12/2017 4:05:12 PM By: WebPimp

Off the top of my head, I think it's been a good two years since we've had a good Wolfenstein game. Bethesda figured that was true so they have announced that on  10.27.2017, you can expect to see Wolfenstein II: The New Colossu make it's way to your entertainment device. The press release is kind of neat because at the end, the pre-order gives you something I think a lot of us would like to see:

You are BJ Blazkowicz, aka “Terror-Billy,” member of the Resistance, scourge of the Nazi empire, and humanity’s last hope for liberty. A heart-pounding journey brought to life by the industry-leading id Tech® 6, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus sends you on a mission to recruit the boldest Resistance leaders left.  Fight back against the Nazis in iconic locations such as small-town Roswell, New Mexico, the flooded streets of New Orleans, and a post-nuclear Manhattan. Equip an arsenal of badass guns, and unleash new abilities to blast your way through legions of advanced Nazi soldiers, cyborgs, and über soldiers in this definitive first-person shooter. Only you have the guts, guns, and gumption to return stateside, kill every Nazi in sight, and spark the second American Revolution.

On October 27, Bethesda will also release the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Collector's Edition, which includes a 1/6 scale 12-inch action figure of the game's Nazi-killin' hero William Joseph "BJ" Blazkowicz, packaged in a premium, 1960s-style box. BJ comes fully equipped to rally the Resistance and free America, with an arsenal of accessories including four high-powered guns, a hatchet, and his bomber jacket.  Available through participating retailers across the globe, this limited Collector's Edition also includes the eagerly awaited game inside an exclusive metal case, and a 9"x14" Blitzmensch poster.


Xbox One X

The Scorpio. While I liked that code name a lot, I kind of didn't see it fitting in with the chain of things called "Xbox".  Rightfully so, someone in the MS marketing department also thought the same. And so we have the Xbox One X.  Fitting if you ask me considering it kind of gives you that whole "elite" secret sort of prototype status, etc.  For starters, here is a nice little promo video:

Crackdown 3 Release Date
Posted: 6/12/2017 2:00:53 PM By: WebPimp

As we post this, the Crackdown website is well, cracked down from user overload.  Someone didn't set up load balancing properly across their cloud regions. Anyway, we all love Crackdown. We all love it even more that it's going to finally be available for us to use 11.01.2017. But what makes it even better? How about some Terry Crews action?


Assassin's Creed Origins
Posted: 6/12/2017 12:50:53 PM By: WebPimp

Hello Folks. It has been  roughly a year or so since the Ubisoft team took a break to make things right when it comes to Assassin's Creed. Considering it is E3 this week, that means there are lots of new things coming out. And why not have a new Assassin's Creed come forward but this time be all about how it started. Assassin's Creed Origins, due out 10.27.2017 on your console/pc of choice, has you set enitrely within ancient Egypt and it appears to be everything you'd think it would contain. Beautiful looking that is for sure.  Without doing a complete rewrite of stuff, head over to the Ubiblog to see a complete update on everything right after watching the premier trailer below, in 4K of course.

The Bridge is a perfect addition to any library of a gamer that plays both the casual and the fast action of a racer or FPS. The Bridge is neither of those latter examples as it is in a class all of its own.
