<p><strong>Be the Master of your Own Arena and Challenge Other Players Everywhere With the Far Cry 4 Companion App</strong></p>
<p>Today, Ubisoft announced that <strong><em>Far Cry® 4</em></strong>, sequel to the #1 rated shooter of 2012<sup>*</sup>, is now available worldwide on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360 games and entertainment systems from Microsoft and Windows PC.<br />
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios <em>Far Cry 4</em> invites the player to experience the most expansive and immersive Far Cry ever, in an entirely new, massive open world. Players will find themselves in Kyrat, a breath-taking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape.</p>
<p><strong><em>Arena Master, the Far Cry 4 Companion App, is now available on IOS and Android, both for tablets and smartphones</em></strong><em>.</em></p>
<p>In <em>Far Cry 4</em>, you’ll prove your combat prowess and fight for fame and fortune in Noore’s Arena. You’ll earn the respect of roaring crowds and test your will to survive, battling man and beast alike, until only one contestant remains standing. The Arena Master Companion App on mobile devices allows the player to explore the open-world, collect animals or mercenaries for his own personal pens and send them to battle against other players on the console or PC version of the game. The player can share his progress and send custom <em>Far Cry 4</em> arena challenges to his friends from just about anywhere with an internet connection and his iPad or Android device.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20121-640x340.jpg"></p>
<p>It’s my favorite time of the year, when opinions clash over what game should and shouldn’t win inconsequential award shows, and when the anticipation for next year’s inevitable disappointments is still in unchecked levels of hype mode. Your favorites are my favorites and my favorites are your favorites, or some such nonsense. Ignore all that. I’m here to tell you what I enjoyed the most from the thousands or so games I managed to play in these last 365 days. (And by thousands, I mean probably 20 or 30, because as we all know, you can’t have a “complete” list unless you’ve played every single game, right internet?)</p>
<p>So, let’s get right to it, shall we?</p>
<p><strong>10. The Darkness II</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/darkness-ii-3-1024x591.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8739" title="darkness ii 3" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/darkness-ii-3-1024x591.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="355"></a></p>
<p>The original <em>Darkness</em> is one of my top five games of all time, so let’s be clear about this: there was little chance <em>The Darkness II</em> was going to surpass it. The removal of Kirk Acevedo as <em>the</em> voice of Jackie Estacado, and the shift in developers to a more dubious group of individuals set some pretty low standards for this game. But as it turned out, <em>The Darkness II</em> was a respectful continuation of that story that I love so much. And while the ending felt fairly rushed, and the game’s campaign was on the short end, the improvements to gameplay and Mike Patton’s incomparable return as the titular character secure <em>The Darkness II</em> at the tenth spot on my list.</p>
<p><strong>9. The Last Story</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/7ddb0684c58c5fa1c49b4ae6602d3a16dc08891a-1024x640.png" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8737" title="7ddb0684c58c5fa1c49b4ae6602d3a16dc08891a" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/7ddb0684c58c5fa1c49b4ae6602d3a16dc08891a-1024x640.png" alt="" width="553" height="346"></a></p>
<p>Nintendo’s pun-friendly console refuses to die. Last year’s Monolith Soft’s Wii exclusive <em>Xenoblade Chronicles</em> managed to sneak its way up to the second place on my list, and this year, Mistwalker’s <em>The Last Story</em> finds itself on the back-end of my picks. Hironobu Sakaguchi’s love letter to the Japanese Role-Playing Game evokes memories of his first classic, the original <em>Final Fantasy</em>. With no shortage of obvious similarities in title, <em>The Last Story</em> is memorable mostly for its endearing and evolving cast of characters. Sure, the story is fairly typical and the combat is on the frustrating side of complex, but this ragtag group of individuals is one of the most genuine bunch you’ll likely find in any game this year.</p>
<p><strong>8. Assassin’s Creed III</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/assassins-creed-3-1-1024x576.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8738" title="assassins-creed-3-1" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/assassins-creed-3-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="346"></a></p>
<p>Ubisoft had a tough act to follow after their three-game epic starring Ezio Auditore da Firenze. And while Connor doesn’t exactly meet his ancestor’s charm or charisma, he definitely has the heart. <em>Assassin’s Creed III’s </em>thoughtful take on the American Revolution expands on the time-traveling wizardry of series protagonist Desmond Miles, while also setting up inevitable sequels in the best way Ubisoft Montreal knows how: cliff-hangers. Though the game was marred by a number of bugs, the struggle of Connor and Achilles, and the bonds formed with your Homestead inhabitants are things I’ll remember most fondly.</p>
<p><strong>7. The Walking Dead</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/walking-dead-game2-1024x716.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8744" title="walking-dead-game2" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/walking-dead-game2-1024x716.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="344"></a></p>
<p>Few things can claim total multi-media domination like <em>The Walking Dead</em>. This long-standing comic series-turned-tv-show-turned-video-game franchise has become a household name in the last year alone. Telltale Games’s five-part saga about a convicted murderer, an orphaned child, and a number of other stranded survivors during the zombie apocalypse managed to do something that so many games of a similar endeavor fail at: it treated its source material with respect. Adaptations of licensed products often end miserably, with few exceptions. <em>The Walking</em> <em>Dead</em> series of adventure games is probably (no, definitely) the best use of a licensed property.</p>
<p><strong>6. Far Cry 3</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/far-cry-3-c-4_3_r560.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8740" title="far-cry-3---c-4_3_r560" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/far-cry-3-c-4_3_r560.jpg" alt="" width="447" height="337"></a></p>
<p>Massive island to explore; intelligent enemy and wildlife AI; the creativity to play how you want to; and one of the most fascinating villains in recent years; <em>Far Cry 3</em> is everything good and just about shooters and open world games. Ubisoft brings the series back to its former tropical glory and shows us just what’s in store for the genre in the years to come. When you get tired of playing your standard run-and-gun military shooter or your 700<sup>th</sup> round of team deathmatch, take a trip down to the Pacific.</p>
<p><strong>5. Spec Ops: The Line</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SpecOpsTheLine-2012-06-26-04-31-49-49-1024x576.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8743" title="SpecOpsTheLine 2012-06-26 04-31-49-49" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/SpecOpsTheLine-2012-06-26-04-31-49-49-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="346"></a></p>
<p>From a shooter willing to push the genre further, to one content to stay in the past. The strange irony is, for <em>Spec Ops: The Line</em>, it needs to feel like your average run of the mill war simulator. That’s the point. Where every other shooter of its ilk glorifies the art of war and killing, <em>Spec Ops</em> demonizes it, makes you question the value and entertainment of it. The genius minds at Yager Deveolpment sought to create a character so conflicted with his ideals about upholding justice and peace, while at the same time feeling overwhelmed by the immense prowess that he exhibits. This bold retelling of Joseph Conrad’s classic novel <em>Heart of Darkness</em> finds its hero, Martin Walker, in search of his own Colonel Kurtz – a once-revered war hero named John Konrad. The result is a game that treats its subject matter with the utmost respect and shows us that war is not a game, and one’s descent into darkness can lead men to do terrible, unimaginable things. Just remember: white phosphorus.</p>
<p><strong>4. X-COM: Enemy Unknown</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/xcom-1024x640.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8745" title="xcom" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/xcom-1024x640.jpg" alt="" width="553" height="346"></a></p>
<p>Oh, how I hate you, <em>X-COM. </em>And yet I love you so. You’re the abusive spouse in my relationship, the one I can’t stand to be around but I’m too afraid to leave. Every second I spent with you was wonderful agony. I lost many friends because of you, whose names are now etched into the hull of my underground headquarters. I vanquished much alien scum, shot down hundreds of UFOs, and researched countless projects. I even fought alongside the legendary Sid Meier in a few battles. I will never forget you, <em>X-COM.</em> But please, stop killing all of my units.</p>
<p><strong>3. Max Payne 3</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MaxPayne3PC-05-1024x631.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8741" title="MaxPayne3PC-05" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MaxPayne3PC-05-1024x631.jpg" alt="" width="553" height="341"></a></p>
<p>Max, dearest of all my friends. Rockstar did the unthinkable. They shaved your head. “Doomed!” was Max Payne, they said. They of little faith. You showed them, didn’t you? Unmatched physics, spectacular attention to detail, and the same soul-crushing feeling of self-guilt you were always known for. Sure, you may have toned down a bit on the long-winded analogies, but hey, you’re getting older. I understand. You’ll always have a place on my shelf, Max.</p>
<p><strong>2. Rift: Storm Legion</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rift_Storm_Legion_Crucia.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8742" title="Rift_Storm_Legion_Crucia" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rift_Storm_Legion_Crucia.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="327"></a></p>
<p>On first consideration, I didn’t think to include this on my list. It’s just an expansion, after all. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how irrelevant that sounded. Besides, there’s nothing else on this list (either individually or combined) that I’ve put more hours into besides <em>Storm Legion</em>. They say MMOs are a drug, well let me tell you: they’re heroine. Trion’s sophomore launch didn’t go off without a hitch (unlike the release of the base game last year), but the expansion’s pound-for-pound value make it one of the most jam-packed content updates I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. With more than triple the size of new real estate, a dozen new dungeons (either raid or party sized), more levels and classes, and the best player housing system seen in any MMO period, <em>Storm Legion</em> is a rousing success.</p>
<p><strong>1. Dragon’s Dogma</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2iw0j92-1024x576.jpg" rel="lightbox[8735]" class="fancybox" title="Top 10 Games of 2012"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-8736" title="2iw0j92" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2iw0j92-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="346"></a></p>
<p>You know a game is good when it tries its hardest to make you hate it, and you just can’t. Enter <em>Dragon’s Dogma</em>. Not since <em>Deadly Premonition</em> have I seen a game with such a conflicted sensibility about itself. On one hand, <em>Dogma</em> is a sprawling action epic with hundreds of exciting monsters to kill and miles and miles of land to explore. It has a tremendously diverse class system that allows you to mix and match traits from each one, and one of the most ingenious uses of passive multiplayer I have ever seen. And yet, on the other hand, the game’s quests system was archaic, the amount of on-foot traveling through well-ventured areas was borderline insulting, and the pacing hit a major lull in the second act. Despite this, if there’s one thing I’m most looking forward to seeing more of in the years to come, it’s <em>Dragon’s Dogma</em>. With some major refinements, this potential series could find its way up to my pantheon of RPGs inhabited only by a special few: <em>Final Fantasy Tactics, Demon’s Souls, </em>and <em>Dark Souls</em>. On a final note, <em>Dragon’s Dogma</em> has one of the most thrilling final boss battles – ever. (No, not the Seneschal. The other one).</p>
<p><strong>Notable Absence: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition</strong></p>
<p>I wanted to include this on my list. I really did. Anyone who knows me personally knows I’d give Dark Souls “Sports Game of the Year” if I could. But as I considered it, I realized it would be unfair to the 10 games I did select to have to remove one of them to make way for a game I had already named as my favorite game of the year back in 2011. Though the <em>Prepare to Die</em> edition offers enough content on its own to merit some sort of recognition, the game, as a whole, was still merely a port to the PC with the inclusion of the downloadable content. In any case, there’s always <em>Dark Souls II.</em></p>

<p>If you’re one of the many many gamers on <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=xbox+live&amp;x=0&amp;y=0"><span>Xbox </span><span>Live</span></a> that can’t help but spout a bedroom or kitchen joke when you meet a girl online, then you may want to steer clear of Halo 4.</p>
<p>“I’ve seen many of the sites that have documented some of the more gender-specific slanderous comments,” Ross said.</p>
<p>“This is behaviour that is offensive and completely unacceptable. I’d like to think most of our <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=xbox+live&amp;x=0&amp;y=0"><span>Xbox </span><span>Live</span></a> players don’t support this kind of behaviour.”</p>
<p>Halo 4 executive producer Kiki Wolfkill (I want that last name) and 343 Industries head Bonnie Ross have spoken out against sexism on <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=xbox+live&amp;x=0&amp;y=0"><span>Xbox </span><span>Live</span></a>. They have said that there is a zero tolerance policy for any and all Xbox Live users who make sexist or discriminatory remarks towards others. Anyone found doing so is issued a lifetime ban.</p>
<p>“It can be dangerous to give adolescents a broadcast mechanism,” Wolfkill added. “There are always going to be jerks out there, and if you give them a way to express that side of their personality without being seen, you’re going to see this type of behaviour manifest itself.”</p>

<p>“Most people look at a franchise like Halo, and automatically assume it’s run by a guy,” Ross said. “People are surprised to learn that it’s a woman who’s running the Halo 4 show. When Microsoft created 343 Industries to take over Halo, I was given first choice to run the studio because I had proven myself. My gender played no part in it.”</p>

<p>PC gamers have already gotten a taste of the Artorias of the Abyss DLC back in August with the PC release of <em>Dark Souls: Prepare to Die</em>, but PlayStation3 and <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=xbox+360&amp;x=0&amp;y=0"><span>Xbox </span><span>360</span></a> owners will get their share of masochism tomorrow when the downloadable content finally arrives on consoles. Set in a time long ago, at the height of the kingdom of Oolacile’s power, players will venture back and witness the spread of the abyss. Among the new bosses you’ll encounter, perhaps none are more noteworthy than the titular character himself, the famed Knight Artorias. A hero of legendary status, you will uncover the truth about why Artorias ventured into the Abyss and unravel the mysteries that surround the forgotten lands of Oolacile.</p>
<p>In addition to new bosses, you’ll adventure across several new areas set in the ravaged land, discover dozens of new weapons and armor, and if you’re clever enough, you may even find a couple of old friends. The DLC launches tomorrow, October 23, in North America, and on the 24th in Europe and Australia. It will be available for $15 or 1200 Microsoft points.</p>

<p>Did somebody say games? No? Well, I’m gonna, so whatever. The weekly latecast of me bringing you fine people the latest games late continues unabated, with a full two day lateness this week! I swear, one day, I’ll get my schedule sorted out so that I have time on Sundays but until then, enjoy the guessing game.</p>
<p>Of note, I actually followed up on my comment last week about The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and…yeah, that game isn’t great. Probably coulda called that, but hey, you never know until you try it, right?</p>
<p>Anyway, that’s old news. Onto this week!</p>
<h2>Coming out this week:</h2>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carrier-Command-Gaea-Mission-Xbox-360/dp/B008KE95UO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349170387&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Carrier+Command%3A+Gaea+Mission">Carrier Command: Gaea Mission</a> </strong></em>– October 2nd for PC &amp; X360<br />
This remake of the original 1988 <em>Carrier Command</em> is curiously being developed by the same developer, Bohemia Interactive, that created the first, leading me to wonder whether or not this is a real remake, or more of a reboot. But, hey, who am I to argue with Bohemia after the revitalised success that<em> Arma II</em> had had since <em>DayZ</em>‘s release, not to mention the impending <em>DayZ</em> retail release?</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/NBA-2K13-Xbox-360/dp/B007M6W38W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349170410&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=NBA+2K13">NBA 2K13</a></strong></em> — October 2nd for PC, PS3, PSP, X360 &amp; Wii<br />
You guys like Basketball, right? Well here comes the biggest Basketball release of the year to not come packaged with a free basketball! Hell, it’ll still probably be bigger than <em>NBA Baller Beats</em>, because really, who the hell bought <em>NBA Baller Beats</em>?<br />
<a href="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Blake_Griffin-1024x576.jpg" rel="lightbox[7627]" class="fancybox" title="Your Week In Games: Week Commencing October 1st"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7629" title="Blake_Griffin" src="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Blake_Griffin-1024x576.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p><strong><em>New Little King’s Story</em></strong> — October 2nd for PSVita<br />
The sequel to the Wii’s <em>Little King’s Story</em> will, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu, have “love elements, along with new visual stylings for its characters.”&nbsp;Without delving into press material, that’s all I could find about NLKS (although, let’s face it, that quote is just about the press-iest thing anybody could ever say about a JRPG.)</p>
<p><em><strong>NiGHTS into Dreams…</strong></em> — October 2nd for PSN, October 5th for XBLA<br />
One of the top selling games from the Saturn era comes to your Hard-Drive on digital platforms! Includes levels from some weird expansion thing called <em>Christmas Nights</em>! Can you tell I have no interest in this game at all?!<br />
<a href="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/27118nights_n3-1024x576.jpg" rel="lightbox[7627]" class="fancybox" title="Your Week In Games: Week Commencing October 1st"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7630" title="27118nights_n3" src="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/27118nights_n3-1024x576.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Resident-Evil-6-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SXLQC/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349170460&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=resident+evil+6">Resident Evil 6</a></strong></em> — October 2nd for PS3 &amp; X360<br />
Speaking of games I (and the rest of the OWNT staff) have no interest in, there’s <em>Resident Evil 6</em>. In the coming months, we’re planning to get reviews out for all the major releases, but honestly…I don’t think there’s any point to an RE6 review. From what I understand of the series, you need to have a longstanding relationship with <em>Resident Evil</em> to comment on this title, which I don’t think any of us have, and the reception it’s received so far has been polarizing enough that if you’re really on the fence (after what I understand was an utterly abysmal demo), you should probably read the review from somebody who actually knows what they’re talking about. Might sound like some sort of a cop-out, but hey, full disclosure is a thing, so there you go.</p>
<p><strong><em>Sonic Adventure 2</em></strong> — October 2nd for PSN, October 5th for XBLA<br />
I’m gonna go out on a professional limb here and make what other people have led me to believe is a controversial opinion: Fuck<em> Sonic</em>. I hate <em>Sonic</em>. I’ve <strong>never</strong> liked <em>Sonic</em> and I don’t get the appeal. Maybe my reflexes just kinda suck and I’m looking to blame the game, but I’ve never had a great deal of difficulty with other games based on speed, like say <em>Burnout</em>. If you do like the little furry hedgehog, though, here, take some classic Dreamcast era<em> Sonic</em>, and enjoy! Wait, when did the Dreamcast become classic? Sheeesh.</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Port-Royale-Pirates-Merchants-Xbox-360/dp/B005FYK2PO/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349170486&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=port+royale+3">Port Royale 3</a></strong></em> — October 4th for PS3 &amp; X360<br />
<em>Port Royale</em> is apparently a business simulation game and I’m already bored. Except for maybe you can be a pirate! Which isn’t boring. But if you can’t, this is probably a game solely for the businessy sorts, like OWNT’s founder Coop, because I guarantee he’s the only one on staff who knows how to turn a profit. The <em>only</em> one.<br />
<a href="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/port_royale_3_1-1024x607.jpg" rel="lightbox[7627]" class="fancybox" title="Your Week In Games: Week Commencing October 1st"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7635" title="port_royale_3_1" src="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/port_royale_3_1-1024x607.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Remington’s Super Slam Ultimate Sportsman Challenge</strong></em> — October 5th for PS3 &amp; X360<br />
Hey, you! Are you so sports?! Yeah, but are you ultimate sports?! Yeah, but are you SUPER SLAM ULTIMATE SPORTS?! Then go out and buy this goddamn light-gun game. Maybe lay off the adrenaline inducers as well, the veins in your neck are freaking me the hell out.</p>
<p><em><strong>Pokémon Dream Radar</strong> </em>– October 7th for 3DS<br />
This downloadable <em>Pokémon</em> game barely seems to be an actual game, and more a sort of AR-enhanced DLC for the <em>real Pokémon</em> game that comes out this week. See below.</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Black-Version-2-nintendo-3ds/dp/B0050SVNSU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1349170534&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=pokemon+black">Pokémon: Black &amp; White Version 2</a></strong></em> — October 7th for NDS<br />
Well, they made another <em>Pokémon</em> game. This one, believe it or not, is a Japanese Role Playing Game in which you collect pocket monsters and utilize their varied skills in pitting them through inhumane duels with their kin, before enslaving them within miniature balls that would fail to pass Geneva Convention standards for Prisoner of War containment! You know if you’re buying this or not already.</p>
<p>OH! Before I forget, I think <em>The Walking Dead: Episode Four</em> is coming out this week. Just watch me be wrong.</p>
<p>Well, that’s Your Week in Games. See you next week. Maybe on time this week. </p>

<p>The <em>Mass Effect</em> series has (as was predicted by anyone with a brain) been given it’s own box collection.</p>
<p>The set will come with:</p>
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;<em>Mass Effect</em></li>
<li><em>Mass Effect 2</em></li>
<li><em>Mass Effect 3</em></li>
<li>Exclusive box featuring Commander Shepard Artwork</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/trilogy_vignette-p.en_US.jpg" rel="lightbox[7603]" class="fancybox" title="Mass Effect Trilogy Pack Announced"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7606" src="http://ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/trilogy_vignette-p.en_US.jpg" alt=""></a>While it’s been confirmed that the set will come with the <em>Mass Effect 3</em> multiplayer, there is no word yet as to whether or not this set will contain any of the DLC for the three games.</p>
<p>The sheer amount of DLC for the three <em>Mass Effect games</em> adds up to roughly the cost of another game.So while I can’t see Bioware withholding it from the set, it seems very strange that they haven’t&nbsp;explicitly&nbsp;stated whether or not it will be included.</p>
<p>Aside from the ambiguity about the DLC, this seems like a fairly skinny box-set. The majority of box-collections either come with HD polish or some form of art book, figurine, or something along those lines, to entice fans to buy the game again.</p>
<p>The only possible reason a fan of this series would purchase this pack is if they play <em>Mass Effect</em> on the <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=playstation+3"><span>Playstation </span><span>3</span></a>. The original <em>Mass Effect</em> was never released for the PS3, but this new box-set will contain a PS3&nbsp;compatible&nbsp;version of the game that started a great series and ended with a million bawling fanboys.</p>
<p>Otherwise I’m assuming that putting the three games under a$60 price-tag is to entice people that have never played <em>Mass Effect</em>. What Bioware fail to&nbsp;realize&nbsp;however, is that the only people that haven’t played <em>Mass Effect</em> are either too young to read the conversation options, too old to enjoy the rampant lesbianism, or likely turned off by all the hooah surrounding by the ME3 ending.</p>
<p>The <em>Mass Effect Trilogy</em> will be released on November 6th and you can find out more about it <a href="http://masseffect.com/about/trilogy/">here</a>.</p>

Not much else is known about the DLC right now, but Capcom assures that details will come as the release date gets closer.</p>
<p>Until then, fans of <em>Dragon’s Dogma</em> have some other interesting additions to look forward to: a Hard mode difficulty setting and a Speedrun challenge. Both will be made available before the year’s end, though no word yet if they will be included in free patches or part of a paid-for downloadable pack. In Hard mode, players will face much more difficult challenges with the promise of greater rewards and experience as you progress. In Speedrun, haste is encouraged, and the faster you complete the game, the greater the glory.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Dragon-Age-3-Logo-White1.jpg"></p>
<p>In a recent <a href="http://blog.bioware.com/2012/09/17/a-blog-from-mark-darrah-dragon-age-iii-inquisition/" target="_blank">blog post</a> by series Executive Producer Mark Darrah, BioWare has confirmed the official title of their next installment in the <em>Dragon Age</em> games. <em>Dragon Age III: Inquisition</em> marks the third entry in the fantasy role-playing game franchise, and judging by its title, will once again focus on a Mage vs. Templar story arch. While details are scarce right now, Darrah has mentioned a few behind-the-scenes notes about the development of the game.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>This game is being made by a lot of the same team that has been working on Dragon Age since Dragon Age: Origins.&nbsp; It’s composed of both experienced BioWare veterans and talented new developers.</li>
<li>We are working on a new engine which we believe will allow us to deliver a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization. <a href="http://blog.bioware.com/2012/04/10/bioware-and-dragon-age-at-pax-east/">At PAX East</a>, we talked about armor and followers… Yeah, <em>that</em> kind of customization. We’ve started with Frostbite 2 from DICE as a foundation to accomplish this.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The use of DICE’s engine was reported last November in an article by <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/30/dragon-age-multiplayer-in-bf3-engine/" target="_blank">RockPaperShotgun</a>, which stated that BioWare had considered using it for potential multiplayer features in an upcoming <em>Dragon Age</em> title. With the confirmation now official that they are, in fact, experimenting with Frostbite 2, could <em>Dragon Age III</em> have that long-rumored multiplayer just as <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mass-Effect-3-Xbox-360/dp/B004FYEZMQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347898037&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mass+effect+3" target="_blank">Mass Effect 3</a></em> did?</p>

<p><em>Borderlands 2</em> comes out this week! And all you Americans get it, like, half a week before I do. Which makes me angry. But not too angry because I am just&nbsp;stoked to get the chance to play a game I’ve actually been looking forward to. Mike is gonna be playing it as soon as and will get a review up sooner than later and we might start trying to figure out how ‘Second Opinions’ work with this game, but no promises. We should certainly have those up and running in the coming months, no matter what, because there is a whole mess of games on the way.</p>
<p>Speaking of games (and <em>Borderlands</em>!) lets see what else is on the horizon for the coming week.</p>
<h2>Coming out this week:</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Harley-Pasternaks-Hollywood-Workout-Xbox-360/dp/B008E6ZXTK/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785374&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Harley+Pasternak%27s+Hollywood+Workout" target="_blank"><em>Harley Pasternak’s Hollywood Workout</em></a> — September 16th for X360, September 20th for Wii<br />
If you want a workout guided by the Canadian *SENSATION* responsible for the figures of Hilary Duff, Katy Perry and…uh, Lady Gaga then look no further. I spent enough time with an old room-mates Nike training game for the <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=kinect&amp;category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallpartial%7Call+categories&amp;lnk=snav_sbox_kinect"><span>Kinect</span></a> to know, goddamn, I neither need nor want to spend any time with any more exercise games.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Borderlands-2-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SYK44/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785338&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Borderlands+2" target="_blank"><em>Borderlands 2</em></a> — September 18th for PC, PS3 and X360<br />
Do I even need to explain why you should play <em>Borderlands 2</em>? I could point you to what I want out of the game, but otherwise things are looking good. Just look at this screenshot.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Borderlands-2_01.jpg" rel="lightbox[7449]" class="fancybox" title="Your Week In Games: Commencing September 17th"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7450" title="BL2" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Borderlands-2_01.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/F1-2012-Playstation-3/dp/B008BT80O0/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785307&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=F1+2012" target="_blank"><em>F1 2012</em></a> — September 18th for PC, PS3 and X360<br />
I don’t know whether it’s got something to do with being in Britain, a place with less fondness for NASCAR than Formula One, but I still see an abundance of <em>F1 2011</em> copies all over shelves, whenever I stop by anywhere that sells games at all. So, yeah. Now I get to look forward to seeing <em>F1 2012</em> all over everywhere instead.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hotel-Transylvania-3DS-nintendo/dp/B00847PAE2/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785275&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Hotel+Transylvania" target="_blank"><em>Hotel Transylvania</em></a> &nbsp;– September 18th for 3DS<br />
Apparently <em>Hotel Transylvania</em> is a movie, starring Adam Sandler. Now I’m pretty into movies and whatnot and I have never even heard about this feature. Adam Sandler as Dracula sounds about as appealing as any of Sandlers recent roles recently, though, so not very.</p>
<p><em>Jet Set Radio</em> — September 18th for PC, PSN and XBLA<br />
<em>Jet Set Radio</em> is an action platformer that originally debuted on Dreamcast. You’ll probably remember it better by the name <em>Jet Grind Radio</em>, although I don’t think I ever even heard of it. So this is a HD remake. Apparently the original was pretty good, so take that for what it’s worth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Nat-Geo-TV-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SWA1E/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785220&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=kinect+nat+geo+tv" target="_blank"><em>&nbsp;Kinect Nat Geo TV</em> </a>– September 18th for X360<br />
I’m sure this already came out, but looking back, I don’t seem to have written anything about it. So hey, if you dig on elephants and shit, National Geographic got your back with the most appropriate game for you since…well, <em>Afrika</em> for the PS3.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Sesame-Street-TV-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SW9OC/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785168&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Kinect+Sesame+Street+TV" target="_blank"><em>Kinect Sesame Street TV</em></a> — September 18th for X360<br />
It seems to me that this game is utterly moot, what with Double Fine having released what will likely prove to be an exceptional Sesame Street-Kinect based experience with <em>Once Upon A Monster</em>. Apparently, though, Sesame Street has a big <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=kinect&amp;category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallpartial%7Call+categories&amp;lnk=snav_sbox_kinect"><span>Kinect</span></a> initiative which means this is probably the second of a whole myriad of SS games coming along in the future.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Kinect-Sesame-Street-TV.jpg" rel="lightbox[7449]" class="fancybox" title="Your Week In Games: Commencing September 17th"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7451" title="Ses" src="http://www.ownt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Kinect-Sesame-Street-TV.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Street-Fighter-Anniversary-Collectors-Playstation-3/dp/B0085O6XF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347785136&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Street+Fighter%3A+25th+Anniversary+Collector%27s+Set" target="_blank"><em>Street Fighter: 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set</em></a> — September 18th for PS3 and X360<br />
I’m just gonna give you the hard info because that’s probably the most informative thing I can do, rather than crack some lame old joke about<em> Street Fighter</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The <em>Street Fighter: 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set</em> includes <em>Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix</em>, <em>Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition</em>,<em> Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition</em> and <em>Street Fighter X Tekken</em>. All costume DLC is included for <em>Street Fighter IV</em> along with all character and Swap Costume DLC for <em>Street Fighter X Tekken</em>. The set will also include an eleven disc soundtrack filled with <em>Street Fighter</em> music spanning the last twenty-five years. In addition, a two disc Blu-Ray set will feature a documentary covering the franchise, Street Fighter IV and <em>Super Street Fighter IV</em> anime films, all episodes of the <em>Street Fighter</em> animated series and<em> Street Fighter II</em>: The Animated Movie. A 64-page art book, eight inch light-up Ryu statue, full-size Ryu martial arts belt and certificate of authenticity are also included.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I legitimately kinda love the Jean Claude Van Damme<em> Street Fighter</em> movie. Legitimately.</p>
<p><em>La-Mulana</em> — September 20th for Wii</p>
<blockquote><p><em>La-Mulana</em> is an Action Archaeological Ruins Exploration game.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>What in the holy fuck does that mean? As Dr. Lemeza Kosugi you will fight monsters to get to the mystical city of La-Mulana and you know what? This just sounds bad. I don’t even want to know anything else, it just sounds bad.</p>
<p><em>Rayman: Jungle Run</em> — September 20th for Android<br />
Who loves <em>Rayman</em>? You love<em> Rayman</em>! Who loves Android? Fucking no-one, that’s who. Alright, I kid, I kid. But seriously, I couldn’t care less about an Android version of a great game, because I simply don’t have an Android.</p>
<p><em>Torchlight II</em> — September 20th for PC<br />
<em>Torchlight II</em> isn’t coming out. I know they say it’s coming out, but it isn’t. It can’t be. My universe implodes the moment this game finally comes out. So no, it’s not coming out. It’s especially not coming out the day <em>Borderlands 2</em> comes out where I live, because, hell, that means I’m probably not gonna play it.</p>
<p><em>Anna</em> — September 21st for Mac<br />
So, this is a first person horror adventure that debuted on PC earlier this year and has very little profile as far as I can tell. But I’ve been looking into getting into horror games, so the PC version may end up making its way onto my personal wishlist. We’ll see.</p>
<p>So, to surmise:<em> Borderlands, Borderlands, Borderlands</em>. Any thoughts? Hit the comments, below.</p>
