Despite reports of poor performance on various systems, Ubisofts Watchdogs is officially a hit. The game that is a strong contender for game of the year, has not only moved a good number of units in 24 hours but has also become Ubisofts fastest selling game title with a target sitting at 6.3 million. A company that's produced titles from the Assassins Creed series and Far Cry, Watchdogs looks like it's going to be around for a long time.
Without a doubt, Nintendo has and will continue to be the leader in the handled market despite the Wii U still struggling to be a hit compared to the Xbox One and PS4 consoles but, a surfaced patent for a device that will feature slots able to move around buttons and will be similar in design to the 3DS is causing a wave of excitement with gamers. Although, a lot of companies file patents for products that never see the light of day but, because this was filed last October and Nintendo is returning for a full showcase at E3 this one, one can only imagine what's going to happen. 
It's nothing new that video games and tech companies are looking at virtual reality as the future. Even with the social networking site Facebook shelving out an impressive 2 Billion dollars, the market is certainly beginning to show progress. Microsoft has registered two domains, MicrosoftAB.com and .net, while they currently only lead to bing search pages, Microsoft has spoken a bit about their history with Virtual Reality before. They've also released a statement stating that it's nothing surprising for Microsoft to purchase domains but they have also added a little fuel to the fire for their E3 2014 panel which I'm sure will be interesting virtual reality announcement or not.

While Bioware is stating they're in the middle of completion, it leaves the rest of us with a lot of questions. Hopefully we end up hearing more about the next incredible title by the team this June at E3.

Turtle Rock Studios, the game development team behind the wildly popular and addicting Left 4 Dead franchise return with their next title, Evolve.

Set in a jungle, Evolve teases twice the mayhem and thrill the Left 4 Dead games had. Evolve will be out this fall for the Ps4, Xbox One and PC. It also has one heck of a fun trailer. 
On paper, Daylight sounds like a classic Stephen King novel. On a console, it sounds genius.

To give you more of an idea of how the game play works, here is a video, courtesy of IGN, from 2013's E3.
