New titles are quite rare. Each time I see one with so much potential, I wish it good luck as it gets unleashed to a world filled with sequels with added multiplayer and titles released on a yearly basis. Seeing Dishonored get high praise placed a huge smile on my face, especially since this title is coming from a fairly new developer. Now, the only thing I now hope for is Dishonored finding the same success in sales. No matter what, that's an important factor in a new title's success.

If there are any other reviews missing in the list, hit the comments for the rest of us to see.

Dishonored comes out on October 9 for NA, October 12 for EU on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Dishonored's interactive trailer lets you choose what to do

Bethesda released another interactive video for their new IP Dishonored. If you remember the last interactive video that lets you choose which powers to use for the given situation, this one is similar but lets you choose a lot more.

Bethesda really knows how to promote their games. I'm a huge fan of these interactive videos that are now showing up in Youtube. It's a great way to show case games with a lot of emphasis on player choice. You can actually fail in this interactive video. This is an actual mission in the game so it's a minor spoiler, fair warning.

You play as a supernatural assassin that's driven by revenge. You are given a set of abilities like possession, blinking, and summoning rats, which gives you a lot of choices on how to tackle this game. Its one of those games that you can actually finish with just stealth. If you're not into stealth, you can just go guns blazing.

Dishonored comes out on October 9 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown launch trailer

2K Games just released a launch trailer for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the remake of the 1994 PC strategy game with the same name. It comes out next week and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Check the new trailer below.

It's only a few days left until release and I didn't think I'd be this excited for XCOM. I played the original way back when I was kid and loved it. Now, to get myself pumped for the remake, I'm playing the first game again and still see it's brilliance 19 years later. This is a strategy game at it's finest. I tried the demo released in Steam, and was happy to see that Firaxis stayed true to the original. I've been wanting a strategy game that would keep me busy for hours, and looks like I'll be getting just that on Tuesday.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown will be released on October 9 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Open Beta available this weekend... for Xbox 360 only

Waiting for a  Medal of Honor: Warfighter beta? Well , the open beta is coming this weekend, on October 5. That is, if you have an Xbox 360. The Open Beta will feature the new game mode called Hotspot in which you must defend different points in the map. Check the Open Beta announcement below.

I'm scratching my head now to why this "Open Beta" is exclusive to Xbox 360. Whatever reason they have, wouldn't it be beneficial for everybody if the beta was available in all platforms?

For the people who have an Xbox 360, get ready to download the beta this weekend!

Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be available on October 23 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Assassin’s Creed III Season Pass announced

Ubisoft just announced a Season Pass for Assassin's Creed 3. The Season Pass will cost $29.99, and will give you access to the first five DLC's of the game.  

Instead of buying the first five DLC's one by one, grabbing this pass lets you save 25%, and you get to play the content a week before anybody else.

Also, details on the first DLC planned for the game was also announced.

The first DLC that will be included in this Season Pass is called "The Tyranny of King George".  It's a whole new single player campaign that's divided into three episodes releasing one by one. It's an altered history, with George Washington as a Tyrant king, and Conner tasked to dethrone Washington and bring back freedom to the land.

The Season Pass will also include multiplayer map and characters as DLC in the future. The pass will be available for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Assassin's Creed 3 hits stores on October 30 on Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. The PC version will be released a bit later on November 20. The Wii U version will be available on November 18, the console's launch day.
