Kojima Had Options
I fee like the title of this is just stating the obvious. Of course Hideo Kojima had options. He is a developing mastermind who has created some incredible and iconic franchises. The fallout with Konami really is disappointing, but it will be really interesting to see what Kojima does next with Sony. Kojima went into depth with IGN on why he choose to do business with Sony over other companies. Exerts from that interview are below, but you can read the whole interview at IGN.

We have entered a more mature era of online gaming, when both providers and consumers of the games have expectations that are informed and in step with the new paradigm of computer science and its marvels (namely mobile technologies).

Witcher DLC Visually Impressive
New screenshots for the latest Witcher DLC hit this week, and they are impressive. Gone are the war torn country sides of Novigrad and Velen. This all new area of Toussaint is alive and well. People are happy, the economy is flowing, the countryside is fairly neat - outside of a few monsters of course - and everyone is living a generally happy life. This is odd, especially for those who spent so many hours truding through the muck and blood of the other regions. However, CD Projekt Red has promised that a dark, dirty secret lies below the lands of Toussaint, and that is something I really look forward too!

Nintendo’s Latest Free-to-Start/Play Titles a Big Hit
I'm always skeptical of Free-to-Start and Free-to-Play games, and I should be. Some games really suck you in - Simpson's Tapped Out for myself - and make you really want to spend money.

For the hardcore fans, I can see the value in spending money, but for those looking for a casual experience, it is a perfect reason to keep whipping that 3DS out day after day.

In fact, the game appears to know where the real fun lies, and therefore, requires you to do a lot of the side missions in order to unlock more parts of the story. The question should be: how can a game like Just Cause 3 - which has been receiving 80+ from most outlets, our included - get so much praise despite a huge story problem?

The Video Game Awards
Last year was the debut of the Video Game Awards, and it is back again this year. And to be honest, I didn't hate it. There was serious contention last year for specific awards - although like this year, the Golden Joysticks really sheds light on favorites - and that made for an entertaining night. The other great thing about these awards? Trailers, reveals, and a look forward to 2016. You won't want to miss it!
