Skyrim Legendary Edition Is Coming: There Goes About Six Months of Your Life (Or So)…

skyrim_LE_boxshots

Save the date, folks: June 4, 2013, $59.99, PC, PS3 or Xbox 360. Pick your poison and take a nice long vacation in this massive solo adventure/RPG that, with all the new content should take you a few weeks to complete once you get hooked into the game world. You get the original and all the expansions (Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn), all the content changes, patching and fixes included (PS3 owners should be pleased to hear this news, as that original version seemed to suffer the most). Bethsoft is “moving on” from this game, so this should be the ultimate (and final) version of an already spectacular entry in the long-running franchise. Of course, this means we’ll probably be hearing about a new Elder Scrolls game in about two or three years as the company is no doubt looking at a few consoles and seeing what’s under the hood.

Resident Evil Revelations Dev Diary 2: Infection & Repulsion (Not The Birds & The Bees Version)…

Well, I’m SURE Capcom’s Resident Evil team wasn’t thinking about YOUR weekend shenanigans when they were making this game for the Nintendo 3DS and remaking it for current-gen consoles and PC. Hmmmm, you do know that these games are a great deal better when enjoyed for what they are, right? No need to project everything onto your entertainment, now. Shh, there, there… it’s alright. You just need to go get scared half to death by playing a little game. May I suggest this one? How about Resident Evil Revelations, coming to PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360 on May 21, 2013? You’ll get your fix in on a few fronts and have something to talk about around the water cooler at work that won’t make people think you’re a total creep. Well, unless they have a thing for zombies and other twisted creatures they’re not telling you about…

GOG.com’s 60% Off EA Games Sale: Yeah, You NEED These Classics…

gogEAsale Well, well, well… you look like you need something to do this weekend since I hear you’re planning on staying inside. Thankfully, gog.com is on the case (and how!) with their latest weekend sale. This time, it’s a ton of Electronic Arts classics from the 90’s and early 2000’s, all 60% off. Insane, this is, folks. First of all, getting ONE of these classics or classic collections for a measly $2.39 is completely ridiculous, but if you want to buy all 28 games on that list, you’ll ONLY pay about ten bucks more than it cost to buy ONE of these when they were initially released. Whaaaaat? $68.52 for about a year or more’s worth of gaming is jaw-dropping, ladies and gents. I actually have some of these on disc in the library (and yeah, I paid more back in the day), so I can safely say you’ll be pleased with whatever you buy (unless you hated Ultima IX the first time you played it – it’s still the same flawed epic it was back then). OK, let me shut up and let you get to poring over that long list of titles. The sale ends on May 7, so get something for yourself or someone else and you’ll both be pretty darn happy…
