Anyone who watches Scandal on ABC Thursdays most have seen (or hopefully watches) Person of Interest. One of my favorite shows on ABC, Person of Interest takes the entire concept of society being monitored to new heights, and the upcoming video game Watch Dogs has the similar concept. But of course, being that its not related to the show, the entire premise and character motivation is something of it’s own creation.
Watch Dogs takes the characters into an open-world and the role of Aiden Pearce. You could relate him to Reese from Person of Interest and the extremities he goes to help people, but it seems that Mr. Pearce has a more vengeful motivation; making for great gameplay!
From hacking into people’s phones to steal bank information and causing the traffic lights to malfunction, Mr. Pearce does anything and everything he can to accomplish his missions. And with every piece of technology in the city at his control (he’s a brilliant hacker,) there is truly no stopping him. Thus, the open-world concept is perfect for hours of wreaking havoc.
You’ll have to watch till November 19, 2013 to get your hands on this title, but the new gameplay trailer “Out of Control” surely does have me super hyped. From the graphics of the environment to the character detail and motions, I’m stoked to play Watch Dogs and experience it’s awesomeness in it’s entirety.
Watch the new trailer below. Hyped? You should be.
So many good games were presented at E3 this year. I’m still actively collecting my thoughts on all the games and I’m in the process of at least posting the trailers for the ones worth checking out.
This years convention had a lot of games that impressed many fans, but I will say I was happy to see that Sam Fisher was back. If you don’t know who Sam Fisher is, then perhaps the game Splinter Cell rings a bell. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell happens to be one of my favorite games, mainly due to the innovative system of stealth and ultra cool gadgets. Oh, can’t forget the night vision goggles; Splinter Cell wouldn’t be the same without the night vision goggles. They got rid of the night vision goggles in Splinter Cell: Conviction and opted for sonar goggles, but the developers realized fans disappointment and decided to bring back Sam’s iconic night vision goggles in Blacklist.
In Splinter Cell:Blacklist, Fisher is thrown into the Iran/Iraq territory and is given the tediously dangerous task of tracking down a terrorist. It won’t be easy finding Sam’s target, but he’s equipped with all the necessary skills and gadgets to get the job done. Remember mark & execute from the previous games? Well that system of advanced targeting is back and it looks better than ever!
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist won’t be released until 2013, but the gameplay demo and trailer show a lot of promise for the sixth game in the Splinter Cell franchise.

Luckily because I pre-ordered Battlefield 3, I was able to get that sweet early access to Mass Effect 3 demo. The demo is pretty awesome! I could sit here and go on & on for paragraphs about how amazing it is, but I’ll devote a post to it. Right now I want to focus on some other good news, the Far Cry 3 trailer was leaked online today. Awesome! The trailer was slated to be released tomorrow, but it was leaked today. Yet, no complaints ova here. I love the trailer!
The reason I’m so excited about Far Cry 3 is because, well…I used to spend hours playing Far Cry 2. Seriously, days of my life would go missing! I’d go on major hunts for the Jackal, tapes, and get caught up in fights with groups of extremists. I mean, if it wasn’t for the open-world element then I wouldn’t have been so addicted to it, but eh, open-worlds are fun to explore!
Far Cry 2 was a pretty good game in my opinion, but I have a feeling that Far Cry 3 is going to be even better. The trailer that was leaked shows some amazing graphics, while even adding a hint of dubstep to step up the adrenaline paced action. The plot for the game is based upon the invigorating situations surrounding a tourist Jason Brody, a young man that ends up getting stranded on an island faced with turmoil & ruthless characters. There still hasn’t been much released detailing the background of the main character, but the cinematic trailer does seem to give us a glimpse of how ruthless the characters will be.
The graphics for the trailer, along with the pacing, the music, and the character acting are well put together; fans will surely be anxious for the impending release of this game in September 2012. Just watching the trailer alone made my want to replace my copy of Far Cry 2 (sold it,) but right now I’m still caught up on playing Mass Effect 2 a second time through on my PS3. So for now I will keep playing ME2, and I will be anxiously awaiting more information detailing what to expect in Far Cry 3.
