It's not long now until Ubisoft's next big release and just in case you wanted to know, I'm excited. Watch Dogs promises to be an expansive, open-world adventure the scale of which has never been seen. Making full use of the graphics capabilities of  Xbox One and PS4 hardware, the Ubisoft team recently released imagery of their version of Chicago and believe it or not, it looks even better than the real thing! For those looking to fully immerse themselves in the world of Watch Dogs, Ubisoft have just detailed the contents of their "Season Pass" which is not only cost effective, but chock a block full of additional content. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – April 30, 2014 – Ubisoft has revealed details of the Season Pass for the open-world, action-adventure game, Watch Dogs.

One thing that immediately strikes you upon walking into EB Expo is the massive scale of everything that's on offer. Every one of the booths stretches just as far high as they do wide and many were sporting Ferrari's,  Lexus' and even V8 Supercars. Don't forget to click to enlarge each of the images. Surely these pictures won't do the event justice but may assist in giving an idea of just how awesome an event it is. The professionalism (money) that went into this even really made it feel like a car show for geeks. One of the coolest things about the event was the amount of families in attendance with separate areas for kids activities and something for the younger punters. EB Expo is without a doubt the biggest, best and most professional Expo I've ever been to. Can't wait for next year!

It seems as though we geeks are in the grip of Dragon Ball Z FEVER! Well, if there were such a thing, we'd be in it. Last month saw the release of Madman's COMPLETE Dragon Ball Z Kai collection and next month they re-release the first Dragon Ball Z movies . But, to tide you over in the meantime, Namco Bandai Partners have re-released two absolute fan favourite Dragon Ball Z games but this time in glorious high definition. Dragon Ball is one of the most successful manga franchises of all time and it's easy to see why. Memorable characters, awesome stories and epic action all combine to make Dragon Ball a series for anime fans everywhere. Check out all the release details after the jump!

We geeks are a funny lot. We swear loyalty to one of two properties and rarely sway from one to the other. Are you a Star Trek fan or a Star Wars fan? Marvel or DC? Mario or Sonic?  I have a tendency to sit on the fence in every area except when it comes to Sonic. I'm a Sonic fan, through and through. Sure, I can see the similarities between Mario Kart and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed but Mario Kart never looked this cool! Follow on after the jump for a look at the official announcement and trailer from our friends at Sega!

Everybody's favourite blue blur is all grown up at the ripe old age of 20! That's right, Sonic the Hedgehog has turned 20 and Sega have released Sonic Generations as a birthday present to us all. The ultimate celebration of 20 Years of Sonic gaming, Sonic Generations delivers the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and old. Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force, creating ‘time holes’ which take Sonic and his friends back in time. Whilst there, Sonic runs into some very familiar characters from his past including a younger version of himself! Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed.

I think its safe to say that the universe of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball was many peoples first exposure to the anime world. Amazingly, it still endures and even thrives despite its 1984 vintage. This is all thanks to the re-released manga, anime and most likely, a universe expanding series of games. The newest (and most exciting) of which is Namco Bandai's upcoming "Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi". Finally, you can become a part of the Dragon Ball universe and in only 1 week, no less!

It turns out that PC's aren't only for first person shooters! To prove this point, Sonic Generations will be available for PC digital download from November 3rd, the same day as on Xbox 360 and PS3 digital networks. So now there is no excuse for missing out on Sonic's 20th birthday celebrations!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of the best games that I have played this year. Everything just fell into place and worked well. The puzzles were tricky but not impossible, the upgrade system was in depth but not confusing and it balanced the stealth and run'n'gun gameplay perfectly. I f you want more Deus Ex you're in luck. a DLC pack called "The Missing Link" will scratch that itch. Follow on after the jump to check out a walkthrough narrated by game designer Antoine Thisdale.

With 9 days to go, Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks like it is going to be one of the biggest recent releases. After watching the video below, it's not exactly surprising. This game not only looks the goods but it also seems  to have a great storyline. Win win. A quote from Charles Darwin seems to sum up the overall theme of DE:HR “It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change.” As an added bonus UK supergroup Transmission (containing members from The Verve, Killink Joke, Murder Inc and Dreadzone) has provided an exclusive song for the game. Check out the trailer after the jump and make your mind up for yourself.

Добрый день, уважаемые товарищи! (Good day, dear comrades!) I was sent the link to this new gameplay trailer for the upcoming action/adventure/survival horror, Metro: Last Light.
