I know that opinions may vary pretty wildly on the game, but in all honesty, I like PlayStation All-Stars . I like it a lot more than I thought I would, and even months after its release I'll go out of my way to play online (now more than ever thanks to the presence of Emmett "Easy Money" Graves). It'll be interesting to see what comes next for the game, both in terms of new characters and in terms of a sequel that can improve on what we have already.
Still, if there's one thing I lament -- coming from someone who's spent years playing the Smash Bros. games -- it's the absence of a lot of true all-stars. Chief among them, Princess Peach. My brother swears up and down that she's overpowered/broken, but even if that was the case (and I suspect not, given her tier list placing), I still like her beyond just giving me a good shot at victory. There's just something refreshing -- or maybe "hilarious" is more like it -- about being able to fling around gorillas and smack evil warlords in the face with a tennis racket. She's THE videogame princess, and brings along with her an air of daintiness and goodness; she's like a breath of fresh air, in the sense that she's a respite against the MANLY MAN MEN that a lot of games would have you play as.
Don't get me wrong, there are other female characters that I enjoy playing as or having around (more so than Peach, and by a long shot), but for what it's worth, the pink-clad princess is more than enough to put a smile on my face... maybe because you never know what she'll be doing next.
In this behind the scenes trailer for Watch Dogs , Ubisoft Montreal gives us a brief rundown on the happenings in Watch Dogs' motion capture. Combat is obviously a big focus, with Aiden's hand-to-hand movements looking like something out of a Jason Bourne flick.
Also, Aiden can stick his hands in his pockets. The next-generation is truly here.
In all seriousness though, it's nice to see that even these little details aren't being neglected in a game as open as this.
In not so surprising news, Amazon Italy went and outed Dragon Age III: Inquisition as an Xbox One release. The posting has since been removed, but it comes just days after Mirror's Edge 2 was outed, twice. It seems retailers are EA's preferred method of leaks.
Dragon Age III was official announced in September of last year and was said to be coming to next-gen systems, even confirmed to be using DICE's Frostbite 3 engine as is the the next Mass Effect project. My fingers are crossed for some proper news at E3, as I (go ahead and call me crazy) enjoyed Dragon Age II quite a bit.

Luigi propaganda is the kind of propaganda I can stand behind. Down with Big Brother! Green ain't so mean! Weegee is legion! Weegee is many!
Nintendo has uploaded a new trailer for the NSMBU expansion New Super Luigi U, which showcases more levels and gimmicks for Luigi, Bucken-Berry, Ala-Gold, and the invincible Nabbit to power through. Just as a refresher, all 82 of NSMBU's levels have been drastically altered, you now have only 100 seconds to clear a stage, and Luigi can jump higher and slide further than his brother.
The Japanese will get their Luigi U fix on eShop on June 19 and at retail on July 13. Americans can download the game on June 20 or purchase in-store on August 25, while Europeans can download it on June 20 or snag the box on July 26. Remember, the DLC version will require that you own a copy of NSMBU.
