The Hero’s Log - Skyrim (Part 9)

28th of Last Seed 4E 201

The return to Riverwood was, fortunately, without interruption. We immediately made way for The Sleeping Giant to reunite Esbern and her, the last of the Blades. Once inside Delphine’s hidden room, Esbern informed us that we needed to locate Alduin’s Wall as it could give us clues on how to defeat Alduin. This wall chornicles all the knowledge that the Blades have in regards to this fearsome dragon, and without Esbern’s help we would never be able to find it. The wall is located within Sky Haven Temple which served as a refuge for the Blades here in Skyrim long ago.

“Halo 4” Limited Edition Announced; No Legendary Edition Coming

Microsoft and 343 Industries think Halo 4 is going to be big. So, with every blockbuster release comes a “limited edition” package. And Halo 4’s $99 package is no different, stuffing the box with some fun additions for fans of the series.

More info after the break.

“Final Fantasy XIII-2” DLCs: Lightning and Snow

All right, I’m pretty much done with FFXIII-2 but there is something alluring about the words, “final set of DLC.” It makes it sound like the game actually meets its end and avoids any kind of loophole. My opinion aside, the final two downloadable contents have been released and they predominately feature Lightning and Snow. 

Of course, you’d have to pay because game makers are penny-pinching sons of guns, but here’s to hoping that it is all worth the wait. You can also invest in some costumes but that’s only if you think the Black Mage outfit makes Noel a hunk and the White Mage wear makes Serah a darling little angel. Mog can also be decorated too. (Who’s the moogle?) 

Hopefully, this is the end and that FFXIII-2 can be put down at last. (Unless you still need to tame the coliseum dwellers. That’s always fun to try again and again and again and again.)

I apologize for being tardy with the news share but the latest issue of CoroCoro revealed more information on the Fifth Generation sequels. Much of the new bits can be found at the source so I will summarize the details after the break.

Games of the Week: Careful With Those Payne-killers

[via]

Max Payne 3 (PS3, 360, PC): Rockstar Games’ invigoration of Remedy’s classic series about the troubled former New York detective finds him deep in the heart of Brazil to play the role of protector of a wealthy business family during dangerous and hostile times. It features the trademark bullet-time and a brand new multiplayer that could revolutionize the way third-person shooters are played.

Meet The Family In “Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time”

All of us have been waiting for the fourth Sly Cooper game since the end of 2005, when Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves was released (and when we saw a great easter egg in both Infamous and Infamous 2.)

However, in June 2011, it was announced that a fourth game, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, would be released late 2012. It would be developed by Sanzaru Games, who released the Sly Cooper Collection for PS3 in 2010, rather than Sucker Punch Productions, who developed the first three games for the PS2 and have chosen to focus on their Infamous series.

Although there is no official release date, there has been plenty of information about what we can expect from our favorite raccoon.
