Remember Firefly Universe Online, the Fox authorized MMO based in the Firefly Universe? That’s not what’s coming in 2014. Instead, Fox announced at Comic Con that Firefly would be coming to the video game verse with Firefly Online.
It’s not a full blown MMO, however. It’s called a “social online role-playing game” that is going to be published for iOS and Android devices. Yes, we’re getting a Firefly mobile game. Is it just me or does every force in the verse work against us?
We’re reaching the home stretch of the Steam Summer Sale. I haven’t reached three digits spending yet but I think that Steam is going to make a late push for my money.
By the way, I was right about Torchlight II being the featured sale today. I’m thinking that Skyrim will be tomorrow’s featured deal. I guess that I didn’t have to rush to get Skyrim: Legendary Edition on that recent Community Pick.
And watch out because The War Z is on sale as a Daily Deal under the name Infestation: Survivor Stories.. For the love of god, don’t buy this game.
The social media sensation Sharknado is getting a sequel. The made-for-TV movie’s social media buzz, especially on Twitter where it garnered up to 5,000 tweets per minute, overcame the below average ratings and earned the so bad that it’s good flick a sequel.
The long-running NCAA Football franchise is coming to an end after this year’s NCAA Football 14 by EA Sports. The NCAA announced that they would allow their licensing agreement with EA Sports to expire at the end of June 2014.
However, given the structure of licensing of college schools and events, it’s entirely possible that EA Sports will have a college football next year.
Another day, another fresh set of Steam Summer Sale deals. Some of today’s daily deals might seem a bit familiar because they have been flash sales and community choice sales during the first six days of the sale. Still, it never hurts to have a second chance.
I quite enjoyed Man of Steel. It hit enough of the usual comic book lore moments while still having its own unique story elements to set it apart from the typical DC Comics lore. It was also a pretty good summer blockbuster popcorn movie at the same time.
However, it wasn’t perfect. I thought the end fight could have lost 15 to 30 minutes without hurting the movies. Fortunately for me, the gang from HISHE kind of agree with that.
Remember when I was excited about Ubisoft trying the nearly unheard of thing for games industry of launching new IPs at the 2013 edition of E3. However, that excitement might be a little short-lived.
In a recent interview with A List Daily, Ubisoft’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tony Key, says that the developer and publisher is only interested in launching new IPs if they think that they can turn them into franchises and release sequels.
This week marks the release of the second issue of DC Comics’ Trinity Wars between the three Justice Leagues. Part two is in this week’s Justice League of America #6. However, that’s not one of my three picks of the week.
Getting the theme month issue pick is Marvel with Superior Carnage #1 which is part of their Superior Spider Month. The DC Comics pick of the week is something I’ve been looking forward to since it was announced. It’s Batman ’66 #1 which sees us pick up with the Caped Crusader as the stories from good old days with Adam West carry on. And Red Sonja gets a reboot courtesy of Dynamite in Red Sonja #1.
First, sorry that I missed yesterday’s breakdown. I’ll have those daily deals for you below.
So we’re on to Day 6 of the annual Steam Summer Sale. We’ve reached the halfway point of the 12 day sale (assuming that the sale ends at 1:00 PM Eastern on July 22nd) and it seems like I’m finally going to start hurting my wallet something fierce today.
We all knew that Codemasters was going to release a 2013 edition of their F1 game series this year. That wasn’t going to be a surprise. What was a surprise is the new Classic Edition of the game that will launch this fall that will provide something special for longtime Formula One fans.
