Assassins creed release date
Ubisoft finally revealed the release date of Assassins creed revelations last week, and it seems this will be yet another game we can spend our christmas playing. In revelations Ezio Auditore will travel to Constantinople, in the footsteps of Altair, in order to further unravel the mystery between the Templars and the Assassins. It brings back the multiplayer experience first introduced in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with "more modes, more maps and more characters" according to the official announcement. Revelations will be the final chapter of the Ezio trilogy. It will be out this november, wich I think is a perfect time for game releases! We desperately need alot of games in the winter ( atleast here in scandinavia!) The only thing the winter is good for is that it gives us more time to play (and it kills all the bugs). It really is a good country to be a gamer in, lol. 
Four rather special teasers was released a short time ago, if you want to check it out i recently wrote a post on it where you can see the fourth teaser aswell. Check it out here.
Wii price cut confirmed
The rumors are now confirmed, the wii will fall to the price of 150$ on May 15. This new deal will feature mario kart wii and a wii wheel accessory. Nintendo will also release a new greatest hits line of wii games, called nintendo selects. The first games will be Zelda: twilight princess, animal crossing, mario super sluggers and wii sports, which will each cost 20$. So all of this will cost less than a 3Ds. (not really a good marketing moove for the slow selling handheld though).Mass effect 3 delayed
The highly anticipated third addition to the sci-fi game is not going to keep us up at night this christmay after all, the game is now said to be released sometime at the start of 2012. Casey Hudson, executive producer for the series, writes: "Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone's expectations."
New header and url!
I finally decided on a blog name, it's simple and not very creative, but that's exactly what I wanted so I'm happy with it. The new name is going to be: Ingabi's gaming blog. So the url will be: ingabisgamingblog.blogspot.com. I will change it later today. Even though its longer it shouldnt be difficult to remember. And I would really like to hear your opinions on both the header and the name! :)
The Playstation network welcomes you back
Sony has announced at a recent conference that most services will be up for the Psn this week with the exeption of the playstation store. You will get a free month of Psn plus, and current Psn members will get an additional month for free. Some extra free downloadable content will also be given out, but it's not revealed what it will be yet. Other good news is that with the Psn down, the american government had time to get up from the couch and catch Osama Bin Laden!
The Sony PSN bosses Kazuo Hirai, Shinji Hasejima and Shiro Kambe apologised deeply for the stress and inconvenience this has brought upon PSN customers by keeping their heads bowed for seven seconds.
New portal 2 content: update
Valve announced on friday that new test chambers, leaderboards, single and multiplayer challenge modes and more will be available this summer, all at the price of free! The "expansion" will be named "Portal 2 DLC number 1", which of course means there is more to come. And I am guessing there will be a new event when it releases, similar, but smaller to the one that took place at the Portal 2 release. I took part in that event and wrote a post about it which you can read here if you missed it, and of course if you are interrested.
Of orcs and men
Of orcs and men is a new fantasy rpg where you play an orc, fighting against humans. Your goal as a warrior veteran is to kill the one man responsible for all of this bloodshed, the one who has exhorted the humans to fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself. On the mission you get a goblin companion who fights by your side with completely different fighting skills than you. The Orc is a strong warrior and the Goblin is a silent assasin, but since this is a rpg you can choose which abilities you want them to have.Of orcs and men will release in the spring of 2012 on Pc, Ps3 and Xbox 360. Produced by Cyanide, and published by Focus Home Interactive.
Big big Sony news
On Wednesday, April 20, 2011, the PlayStation Network was turned off. Sony said the move was for maintenance and that the outage would only last a day or two. Nearly a week later, the company announced that the closure was due to a hacker infiltrating the system and stealing PlayStation 3 and PSP players' personal information. Sony has confirmed that all credit card data was encrypted on their system. There is also no evidence that credit card data was taken, but Sony is just being cautious when asking us to keep an eye on our bank accounts. Another positive is Sony has never stored the card security code (CVC or CSC) so no hacker could ever have had access to.Also it is officially confirmed that the PsP Go is dead. But there is a psp2 on the way, that might be exciting. Hoping for more information on this years E3 in June. I will of course get back to it as soon as more is revealed.
Jurassic park game delayed
I was just about to put this up on my list of upcoming games in april when this news came out, the game is now schedueled to be released in the fall. Everyone that has pre-ordered the game is getting a refund and another telltale game of your choice for free.
The co-founder of telltale games, Dan Connors stated "The game's mechanics and storytelling have come together in such a way that we see great potential, so much so that we feel we can push these elements to the next level if we spend some extra time working on them," This sounds promising, lets just hope they can deliver!
why hello thar
Nintendo 3DS sales are dropping like flies
Yes, more Nintendo news, this time not so good, but exactly what I had expected. Since the first time I heard of it, I immediately thought "Oh boy, another failure for Nintendo". Actually I dont believe in 3D period. It's sad to see Nintendo fail, who didn't have a childhood nintendo-crush?! So lets hope the 2012 console will kick ass.The 3Ds was released february/march this year and the last week the sales dropped quite badly. Nintendo says they are going to step up their game so that it can live a long and rich life.
But one thing is for sure, when the release of Ocarina of time 3D is nearing (17 juni), the sales will sky rocket. I'm willing to bet on it! (lil' bit..)

Nintendo rumors were true
The rumors and secret talk about the new nintendo console has been confirmed today, and Nintendo says it will ble a playable model at this years E3 in June. It is also stated that it will be faster and stronger than any other console on the market, and it will be backwards compatible but it is clear that this is not going to be a wii2, but something completely new. The controller will have a touch screen, dual analog sticks, and will be able to stream content straight from the console. 3D has also been mentioned, but Nintendo is still very secretive. Project cafe, as they are still calling it will release some time in 2012, and migth end up with the name "Nintendo stream".
