It's March 27th and if you've been following the teasers of Battlefield 4 then you'd know that today is the release of the official trailer. Or should I say, official 17 minute long gameplay reveal.
While the gameplay demo may not have been as impressive as the Battlefield 3 one that they showed before (IMO), this has a more videogame feel and shows what looks to be actual segments in the campaign which I do appreciate. I've always been more a "not convinced until I see actual gameplay" kind of guy. CGI trailers are cool and all but that just won't cut it.
The graphics look incredible. The draw distance extends to about as far as the human eye can see plus all the active particles and even the tarps blowing in the wind on the constructed buildings are all moving. The people look photo realistic but you can still tell that they are virtual characters but at first glance, people could take this for a live action movie. To all you FPS and graphics nuts out there, sit back and enjoy.
I'm sure you don't need a reason to go back to Borderlands 2, but to add a bit more variety, a 6th playable Vault Hunter was announced during PAX East in Gearbox Software's panel. Who is he? He's Krieg the Pyscho! Check out the teaser trailer below.
Krieg the Psycho will be available in the Psycho DLC pack which will cost you $10. This piece of DLC is not included in the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, so this might upset some of you, but this character, just like Geige The Mechromancer(first DLC character), will have unique gameplay with three new skill trees to build him based on your play style.
The DLC announcement doesn't stop there. Gearbox also announced two more DLC planned for the game. The first one, will increase the level cap to level 61 and will include Pearlescent items(very rare item types) which only start showing up at level 51. This pack will be free for Season Pass owners, but for the rest, it will cost you $5. It will be available April 2
The second DLC though is free for all. This piece of content will include an Ultimate Vault Hunter mode. The purpose of this mode is to give players incentive to go for a third playthrough of the game. Again, it will be free to download and will be available April 2 as well.

I can't wait to get my hands on this game, and I'm sure people that are reading this feel the same way. So far, reviews are pouring in and it looks like it won't disappoint from what I'm reading.
New to BioShock? Don't worry. BioShock Infinite is not in any way a sequel to the first two games, so having this game as your first entry to the series won't ruin your experience story-wise. But I highly suggest you try the first two games when you have the chance, so you can really appreciate what Irrational Games have created.
BioShock Infinite Launch Trailer
BioShock Infinite has been in development for four years with 200+ people working on it, and Irrational Games took their time in developing this game to get everything right. From Elizabeth's AI, the story telling, down to every detail and gameplay mechanics to make it worthwhile for any player.
A new desktop PC may not be a big deal for most of you guys out there but I haven't owned a desktop PC ever. My family ran through a few desktop PCs before but those were years and years ago. The last of which was back in 2002. This is the first desktop PC that I personally own.
As an early birthday gift, my parents gave me some money for me to get a potential replacement for my old HP dv-5 laptop "Bronzo". I've had Bronzo for about 4 years and have been using him for everything. School, work, procrastination and even for recording and editing my gameplay videos which is very strenuous on it's core2duo processor.
Now while most of the parts I got for the desktop are entry level parts, most of the budget went to the processor. The processor is what does most of the work in terms of video processing which is why I put my priority on it. I went with an i5, would've gone with an i7 but seriously, that little square is mad expensive. Also, another reason why I couldn't focus everything on getting the i7 is because I basically bought a complete desktop setup. Monitor, power supply, DVD drive, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Here are the specs of my new desktop. I could always just upgrade in the future but for now I think these are fine.
Processor: Intel Core i5-3330 LGA1155
Motherboard: ASUS P8 H61-M LX3
Graphics Card: Palit NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB
Memory: 4GB DD3
Hard Disk Drive: 1TB
Case: PowerLogic S92-RB
This new desktop will handle the majority of my recordings and publishing so hopefully the videos will start rolling out faster.
Prepared for an all new Battlefield game? well EA is almost ready to reveal to the world Battlefield 4. A new site for the soon to be reveal game is now live informing viewers to check back on March 27. But that's not all, a small video teaser was placed on the site called "Sea". it's 20-seconds long but gives a good idea one big new feature to the game.
marine warfare, or to be exact, underwater warfare. Nothing of course is for sure but its safe to say it involves water.
We'll just have to wait and see, the world reveal should kick off around March 27-28 so check back on the site during those times.
is it too soon for a numbered sequel? Maybe, because a lot are still enjoying Battlefield 3 thanks to the many DLC that have supported the game for more than a year. Question is, will this be EA's FPS game for this year? or next year for next-gen consoles. Either way, excited to see what they will include for the fourth.
