All three titles of one of my favorite franchises of all time, Bioshock, are coming to current gen on September 13th this year. Titled Bioshock: The Collection, the news was finally confirmed today after months of retailer leaks. Players will be treated to remastered versions of each award winning title for $60. The trio will include all DLC as well as additional commentary. After news of the Batman Arkham remasters being delayed indefinitely, I have got my sites on my next day one remaster purchase! Watch the trailer below and take a look at everything you'll get in the collection.

TurnOn, the creative platformer from Brainy Studio, is doing well when it comes to critical reception. The trailee below features some of the high praise its received, and while we sadly don't make an appearence, it's great to see the title is appreciated by others as well. TurnOn has been one of the happiest times I have had reviewing a game this year, because it is genuinely heartwarming and fun. I gave it a much deserved 8.5/10, praising it for its themes, charm, and consistent fun. If you are a fan of platformers, I urge you to check this one out. You will not be disappointed! Check out the review here http://www.player2reviews.com/turnon.html. TurnOn is on sale at a discount now on Steam, and will go on sale on Xbox starting July 6th.

AWW YEAH, A NEW FARM SIM TRAILER IS HERE! The Trailer shows a lot of bigger sized tractors both plowing and sowing crops. There also was a tractor mowing grass and showed the mowers being able to be connected all at once on the back, which is something you couldn't do in Farm Sim 15. Not shown in the trailer but talked about is that there will be new vehicles, a new animal to breed, and also over 60 brands and 200 vehicles available. Another new feature is the availability of mods on consoles! This feature was huge on PC and is now making its way onto consoles adding so many more ways to play. 

Not a lot has been talked about the official release date other than a late 2016 time frame. Another thing that hasn't been talked about is will there be the forestry gameplay like there was in Farm sim 15, but I am very excited about this trailer and i want to see more details and gameplay! 

I have been waiting for this game all year long, and now we are only a week away. The Technomancer is the latest title from Spiders Studio, and is an action-rpg taking place on Mars. Desolate and low on water, Mars is run by several factions. Check out the gameplay below, which shows off the multiple fighting styles, story choices, and lots of equipment to find across the planet. The game releases June 28th on consoles and PC. 

"Spiders studio is back with The Technomancer, a sci-fi RPG for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC set on Mars during the War of Water, where an aspiring Technomancer faces a myriad of questions as his future grows threatened by the secrets of his past."

I played about 2 rounds of the one mode offered in the beta which is a sort of "domination" match which features 2 vs 2 players and you must capture 5 points similar to the Call of Duty domination. You can only pick between two generals, and one is a new antagonist named  Atriox, a gorilla looking dude who has some covenant style troops like Grunts and Brutes. The other character is the UNSC general James Cutter who has the mainly the same UNSC troops that were featured in the first Halo Wars, but with some additions like the mech troops. There is only one playable map that has the 5 domination points, some supplies on the ground and some power generation points that you are able capture and add power to your bases. Some newer features that I have noticed is the style of upgrading your base and buildings. The power is now a timed and rechargeable resource, as opposed to being a constant one depending on built assets. The other cool feature that I haven't got a too much time with is the new hero powers. The new features include upgrading and using multiple powers using the character you picked. I think this feature will improve the strategic part of the game. 

​Overall to me this beta feels like a copy and paste of the first Halo Wars, because of the graphics and there not being such a change in gameplay. I expected there to be more changes in the new game but overall I did enjoy it and I like the small improvements i noticed. Something that might not have been announced at E3 was the Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition, which features Halo Wars 2  4 days before the original date, the season pass that has 6 months of content like new leaders, leader powers and new maps, and Halo Wars Definite Edition which is the original Halo Wars remastered for Xbox One. We are still many months out from Halo Wars 2, so this is just an early look and much is sure to change over that time.

As far as I am concerned, Overcooked can not come out soon enough. The frantic, fast paced cooperative cooking game was announced earlier this year and has since been making waves in the gaming scene. Developers Ghost Town Games recently teamed up with Team 17 to handle the publishing side of things. The most recent trailer below shows the awesome gameplay as well as all the good praise it has been getting in the media. I can't wait to see what Overcooked has in store for players, but there is no release date as of yet.

Wow. In the midst of stellar games left and right from both Xbox and Playstation yesterday, Nintendo came and dropped this bombshell for the world to see. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is quite possibly one of the most visually stunning and enticing games I have ever seen. The trailer is awe inspiring, and from what the live demo's are showing, this will be the biggest and deepest Legend of Zelda ever. With huge open areas, varied enemies, and weapons with stats, Breath of the Wild seems to be going full RPG. Take a look for your self!
