The most exciting games at E3 2013...and everything that might be wrong with them
13 June 2013 7:24 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
This year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) marked an exciting moment for the videogame industry. New consoles. New blockbuster titles. Long-awaited sequels. What follows is a list of the 15 most exciting games I saw this year. I got hands-on time with most of them, but it’s important to remember that playing videogames at E3 is not the same as actually playing the videogames. At E3, you’re staring at the most expensive TV screens corporate money can buy, while various company reps urge you on and assure you that you’re much better at the game than all of »

The E3 of open worlds: How big-huge-gigantic videogames could change gameplay forever
13 June 2013 1:50 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
You hear one phrase every five minutes at E3 this year: “open world.” The sandbox-style of gameplay sets the player down in a large digital environment and lets them explore; essentially, the whole game is one gigantic level, usually with a linear narrative strewn with dozens/hundreds of mini-games and unique interactions. The genre has a long history: Popularized by Grand Theft Auto, perfected by The Elder Scrolls, deconstructed by Shadow of the Colossus, vulgarized by Saint’s Row. But at E3 2013, it’s almost surprising to find a game that doesn’t trumpet a gigantic in-game universe. No less »

Far Cry and Rabbids Video Game Movies in the Works
13 June 2013 4:04 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Ubisoft is already working on big screen adaptations of "Assassin's Creed," starring Michael Fassbender, "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon," to be directed by Michael Bay, and "Splinter Cell." And now comes word that the company is making plans to turn three more video game franchise into movies, including "Watch Dogs," "Far Cry" and "Rabbids." Ubisoft will have full control over the projects, which means that it will hire directors, writers and cast before approaching any studios. Ubisoft will also finance everything. By doing that, "no one can tell us you have to do the movie a certain way," said CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet. While "Far Cry" and "Rabbids" are already established franchises, "Watchdogs" has yet to be released. It will hit stores on November 19th, but has already generated a significant amount of buzz since last year's E3. "Rabbids" will be a mix of live-action and CG, similar to "The Smurfs" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks. »
E3: 'The Division' and 'Watch Dogs' showcase Ubisoft's new multiplayer designs
12 June 2013 6:17 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Like Ubisoft did with "Watch Dogs" at E3 in 2012, the company gave a whole new spin on what the next generation of gaming will look like with the announcement of its new original "Tom Clancy" title, "The Division." The title's inclusion of a "companion" app on tablets offers up a fresh new way for gamers to get involved in "The Division's" world, and has earned the game a lot of buzz at E3 in 2013.
Set in a futuristic mid-crisis landscape after a pandemic breaks out in New York City on Black Friday, "The Division" calls upon a group of highly trained government agents to stop the spread of the virus and restore the Big Apple to its original glory. Though players can run through the game's story on their own, "The Division" is an online title that allows for easy incorporation of friends and teammates into gameplay. "The Division" has »

Audiobook Review: Stephen King’s 'Joyland' Read by Michael Kelly
12 June 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
At first, he seems unsure. Hesitant, even. His voice is coming out metered, measured, and his reading feels more like recitation than performance. Then, something astounding happens: he hits dialogue, and everything ramps up. Voices, it seems, help Michael Kelly find his voice. For those used to listening to crime stories on audio, Kelly’s take on Joyland might be jarring. The narrators of Lawrence Block’s Matt Scudder series, for example – Alan Sklar, William Roberts, Mark Hammer – explore every word as a threat, pummeling headlong toward finales composed of shock and sadness (only Block himself, on Eight Million Ways to Die, seems to get to the deep sorrow of the character). On the other hand, the more stately readings of both Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series (Michael Prichard, who has taken on Tom Clancy’s techno-thrillers with the same endearing seriousness as John Irving’s The World According to Garp »

Michael Bay to direct his first video game movie, technically
12 June 2013 9:16 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Signaling his maturation as a filmmaker and a growing boy, Michael Bay’s interests are moving from action figures to video games, with the announcement that he’s pursuing an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon at Warner Bros. As Variety reports, game manufacturer Ubisoft is currently meeting with screenwriters and—“should he spark to the script”—Bay will likely direct, leaving the giant robots of Transformers and Pain & Gain scattered on the floor as he plays with his video game military men instead. Ghost Recon tells the story of a fictional group of Special Forces agents who function »

Michael Bay to Direct Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Video Game Film
11 June 2013 7:21 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Warner Bros is getting ready to turn Ubisoft's "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon" video game franchise into a film and is working with Michael Bay (Transformers) to make it happen. This will mark the first collaboration between Warner Bros and Bay, who will likely direct as soon he wraps up "Transformers 4." The "Ghost Recon" games revolve around a fictional unit of the Us Army Special Forces that essentially operates as the President's private army, using the latest technology to infiltrate and take down threats around the world without leaving any traces behind that they exist. Ubisoft said that it's interested in working with Bay, "because he is a master at action movies." The company is now meeting with writers to put together a script. Bay will oversee the process. Ubisoft previously produced a live-action short film for "Ghost Recon Alpha" that was produced by Ridley Scott. Check it out below. »
Michael Bay to Ruin a New Generation of Childhoods With ‘Ghost Recon’ Movie
11 June 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Back before Michael Bay directed his Transformers films, Transformers were just weird toys and cartoons that children of the 80s fondly remembered as being basically the best thing ever. People like fast cars, and people like giant robots, so why not create a bunch of fast cars who turn into giant robots and then fight each other? The idea is elegant, it’s simple, and as far as we knew, it was timeless. Then Bay and his crew went and turned the whole thing into modern, big budget movies and made us realize that Transformers was a thing best nostalgically remembered from childhood. Turns out the whole idea, complete with aliens, energon cubes, and plucky kid sidekicks, is kind of stupid, and lacks the elegant simplicity of cars turning into giant robots and then fighting each other. These days kids don’t play with toys anymore though, they play video games, so »

At Least The Explosions Will Be Big: Michael Bay, Ubisoft Partner For 'Ghost Recon' Movie
11 June 2013 1:38 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
Screen from "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier"
The futuristic tactical shooter series is getting a dose of "Bayhem" as the "Bad Boys" and "Transformers" director takes on Tom Clancy for Ubisoft and Warner Bros.
Bay will develop the movie for Ubisoft Motion Pictures, and at this early stage neither a director nor a writer has been attached to the project. According to Variety, the plan is for Bay's Platinum Dunes Studios to hire a writer within the next month while Bay himself may potentially direct.
The "Ghost Recon" series is set in the near future and sees a clandestine U.S. military unit hitting global hot spots and using advanced weaponry to take out terrorists and other foreign ne'er-do-wells.
Ubisoft speaks:
“Having one of Hollywood’s boldest feature film directors attached to bringing Ghost Recon to the big screen is a dream come true for us,” said Jean-Julien Baronnet, chief executive officer, »

Tom Clancy's The Division - Gameplay and Breakdown Trailers
11 June 2013 11:40 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Tom Clancy and Ubisoft have teamed up again to give gamers another badass looking game called The Division. As you'll see, the game is visually stunning with lots of the fantastic little details that I love to see in the games I play.
Ubisoft Soft and Massive Entertainment is using its own Snowdrop engine to develop the game, which will be available on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This is a third-person multiplayer shooter that will be both a single-player action game, and massively multiplayer online RPG. It has an impressive realistic look and the physics are sure to be amazing.
The Division focuses on Operation Dark Winter, which "revealed how vulnerable we've become"; society has become "fragile" and "complex." There's a disease that spreads through infected bank notes on Black Friday that causes the United States of America to collapse in 5 days. Gamers will play as a highly trained operative of The Division, »

Tom Clancy’s The Division May Be The Most Intriguing Game Of This Year’s Conference
10 June 2013 4:26 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Dark Winter. It’s a terrifying name, even more so when it’s explained. Ubisoft starts off by reminding us that we’ve created a system so complicated we no longer know how to control it. After a plague set started across the nation on Black Friday, the entire nation was thrown into turmoil. Civilization all but collapsed within a week as food became scare, the stock market crashed and international trade stopped. With five days, every single person in the nation became a possible threat. This is the bleak reality we’re faced with in Tom Clancy’s The Division
The third person shooter Mmo looks like it will have some sort of cross platform support since Ubisoft alluded to the fact that one of the players was using a tablet. In the demo shown, a team of three players tried to secure a police station. This meant first »
