Polyphony Teases Gran Turismo 6 Announcement Next Week
Back in March, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Senior Vice President Michael Denny seemed to let the cat out of the bag that the next instalment in the Gran Turismo series might be coming out this year. Now, GT devs Polyphony Digital are doing their own teasing of the next Gran Turismo game.

Star Trek: The Video Game (PS3) Review: He’s Dead, Jim
At this point, there is nothing I can say at add to the conversation about Star Trek: The Video Game. The consensus puts this games in with Aliens: Colonial Marines and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct in a three-way race for the worst game of 2013. It’s a shame because I had high hopes for it considering that it was a Star Trek game developed by a pretty good Canadian developer.
Since nothing I can write will be a revelation when it comes to this game, I thought I’d take an in-depth look at everything good and bad in Star Trek and make it the most detailed review you can find of this game.

Who Spoiled The Amazing Spider-Man 2?
In our 24/7 celebrity and Hollywood driven news cycle, paparazzi photos of the sets of upcoming films are par for the course. While these are avoidable to a certain degree, given the saturation of set photos on various geek blogs for movies that will draw interest, it’s not completely unavoidable.
And that brings me to The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While the paps were just doing their job by sneaking photos from The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s set, they may have inadvertently spoiled a massive part of the movie. It’s not like they were hiding who the villain was but the part of the plot that was recently spoiled is absolutely massive and definitely something Sony/Columbia and Marvel wouldn’t want getting out.

EA Cuts 900 Staff in Latest Round of Lay-Offs
If I didn’t know better, I’d swear that not a week went by when we didn’t get rumours or reports of layoffs in the gaming industry. Just the same, I’d swear that not a week goes by when we don’t hear about internal turmoil at Electronic Arts.
Temporarily missed among all the news about sales targets for the likes of Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 was news that EA was laying-off 10% of their workforce, which translates to 900 people, as part of their ongoing corporate restructuring program.

Retailers Say South Park: The Stick of Truth Releases in August
The bankruptcy of THQ put a delay on a number of games and made us question the fate of numerous games in their portfolio. Now, it looks as though the hotly anticipated South Park RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth, appears to be hitting store shelves very soon.
According to retailers Future Shop and Best Buy, South Park: The Stick of Truth is due for release on August 27th. This hasn’t been confirmed by Ubisoft yet but that’s not surprising because Ubisoft has been very quiet about all former THQ products since buying THQ assets and IP during the bankruptcy auction.
South Park: The Stick of Truth was originally due for release in early March 2013. It might be six months late because of THQ’s issues but hopefully it allowed Obsidian some extra time (and money) to polish the game.

Star Wars: Episode VII On-Track to Start Shooting in 2014
Bad Robot co-founder and Star Wars: Episode VII producer, Byran Burk, has spilled the beans about some of the plans for Episode VII. He’s not talking about the plot, characters or actors in the movie though. He’s strictly talking about logistics and it looks like things are still on track for a 2015 release.

How to Find Your Perfect Game (Infographic)
If you frequently visit us here at etg, you know we’re definitely fans of two things: Video games and cool infographics. So how about we combine the two? We found this rather extensive flow chart of an infographic that asks you a few questions and pumps out the perfect game for you to play. I tried it and it gave me Knights of the Old Republic. I’d say that it does an okay job of things.

Wolfenstein Gets “Reimagined” Because We’re Short on New IP
Sorry, that title isn’t too cynical, is it? I’m just getting a little tired of sequels and reboots. If you ask me why I’m intrigued by Remember Me, even though it’s being published by Capcom, it’s because it’s a brand new IP and we just aren’t getting very many solid new games. We’re getting a lot of sequels and reboots but brand new IPs are in short supply.
And that brings me to the recently announced “Wolfenstein: The New Order.” Bethesda announced it by touting it as a “reimagining” of the iconic FPS franchise that has been with us for over 30 years since the original Castle Wolfenstein.

Comic Book Pull List for May 8, 2013
I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I missed Free Comic Book day this weekend. I was a bit busy with things around the house. Some of that will be revealed in the near future by which I mean hopefully by the end of the month.
In the meantime, here are my picks for the week. Dark Horse brings back X for a miniseries. The masked vigilante had a 25 issue run back in the mid-90s and gets a four issue run over the summer. The Justice League of America is back this month with Justice League of America #3. Apparently, we’re getting another JLA in two weeks and one each in June and July. Plan your buying accordingly. And to mix things up with my last pick, go grab a copy of Deadpool #9. Why not? It’s Deadpool.
