A Change.org petition to bring all three titles in the new Ninja Gaiden trilogy to Steam is gaining traction.

Nintendo has come a long way since the release of the Wii U, and they deserve all the credit in the world for beginning what seemed like an impossible turn around. Sure, it is not the ideal situation they would like to be in, but things are rolling on with each new release, and that's definitely a positive. I only have one issue with what Nintendo continues to do: launching games on different dates in different regions, and releasing games that will inventively get swamped by better, bigger budge titles.

Assassin's Creed Unity is out - and it's broken. After the significant consumer confidence boost that was Black Flag, Ubi have once again dropped the ball, releasing a title with near countless issues. One YouTuber has taken it upon themselves to publish a compilation video of the biggest problems, and it runs at over six minutes.

There's a lot of talk, always, about maxing out consoles, about things that were impossible only a few years ago, and the conversation always ends up in the same way. Console wars, endlessly arguing over exclusives. With the current line up though, the pressure is on an innovative favourite to show how originality should be done.

Square Enix have today announced Just Cause 3, to be released in 2015 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

For years, EA have tried to take the battle to Activision and for years they've fallen short. The PR smack talk every year DICE has released a shooter has been intense, and every release does respectfully by almost any measure, except that of Call of Duty.

With Sonic Boom not quite on shelves, it might be a little early to talk about where the franchise is going next. Even so, a possible SEGA leaker may have just shone a light on where the road may take the Blue Blur.

So, Amiibos are coming in at a hefty 13.99. I would argue they are comparable physically to the 9.99 Skylanders, although you could argue the technology in the Amiibo is substantially more complicated. Regardless, many Nintendo fans will want a bunch of the Amiibos that will be hitting store shelves soon, but the price could hold people back, especially since the use of some of these Amiibos is very, very limited.

Who remembers Oblivions outrageously priced horse armor? Who remembers paying way too much money for cosmetic DLC, which at the end of the say, didn't do a whole lot besides makes your character look cool. Well, we are getting more of that in the upcoming Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game from CD Projekt Red. We wll not the prices, but rather the cosmetic DLC. Why should you care? Well, it is free.

Nintendo continues to do these random online streams to show off their content. Overtime, I've gone from hating these little videos to loving them. They are generally always great and packed with content, both announced and unannounced. The purpose of the most recent Nintendo Direct was to look at games coming out in 2014 and through Spring 2015.
