“Watch Dogs” Takes Control Of Your Wallet November 19
Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs is one of the year’s biggest games with its high octane action and semi-futuristic hacking mechanics. The biggest question surrounding the game wasn’t its gameplay, but when gamers would be able to finally their hands on it. Now we know that we only have to wait until the holidays to play it.
Along with a new trailer titled “Out of Control,” Watch Dogs was firmly dated for November 19, 2013. The trailer also revealed that while it is coming to PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC, the game is coming to “Next-Gen Consoles.” Expect to be able to play Watch Dogs on that shiny new Xbox hardware we’ll hear about this month.

Diablo 3 won’t always be exclusive to PC players. Blizzard has announced that it’s making its way to the PlayStation 3 (and the PS4, once it’s released) and has been showing off in-game footage at PAX East.
Though handheld controllers will account for a few minor changes, the features on PS3 are mostly the same as those on the original PC version — with a few improvements. One of the biggest is fixed camera angles that should help in some of the boss battles. And if you feel like sharing your kills, four-person co-op will also be available.
Blizzard says the console version is not a Sony exclusive but hasn’t released any details on an Xbox 360 version.
