Another Ubisoft game, another limited edition with a bunch of stuff you won't care about like a year after you've gotten it. In this case it's the North American Limited Edition for Watch Dogs , which includes the soundtrack, a 9" figure of Aiden Pearce, his mask, a steelbook, and art book.
All that can be yours for $130, and this will also be available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. And just like with Assassin's Creed IV, there is no planned Wii U version of the Limited Edition. Hey, just be happy you're getting the base game at all, Wii U owners.
Paradox North's team-based, player-versus-player game Magicka: Wizard Wars has shown itself off previously, but never in motion like this. The real-time spellcasting of Magicka was already deadly in so-called "cooperative" play, so one can imagine how disastrous things can get here.
If you've got the skills necessary to cast that spell you actually intended to cast or are otherwise interested in checking out Wizard Wars, Paradox has opened up alpha sign-ups on this website. The more of you that register, the better rewards we all get.
From Software has narrowed down the fan-made shields for the Dark Souls II design contest and a few of them are spectacular. The six winning artists will get their design put into the game, their name in the credits, and a signed copy of Dark Souls II.
The winners of the Asia and United States categories -- the lion and the tally-mark one, respectively -- are my favorite, but these along with the green eye shield aren't going to be in the game. The artists who designed them are getting a signed copy, however, so that's something.
After looking over some of the losing entries, I'm hopeful a gracious modder will once again come through to allow for custom shields.

Matthew Taranto, webcomic artist and my comrade-in-arms over on Nintendo Force , has just celebrated a whopping 500 strips of his Smash Bros.-themed Brawl in the Family. It's been five years of squishy adorableness, filled with plenty of highs and lows, but Matt is still going strong.
The big 5-0-0 is another of his famous animated tributes, welcoming the newest member to the Smash family: Mega Man! Along with some appropriately melancholic music, arranged by Matt himself, we follow the Blue Bomber's career from his early NES days to his spirited homecoming.
And if you enjoyed the song as much as I did, you can download it here.

Faction Pack , the new story based add-on content for Metro: Last Light is now available. This pack features three new single-player missions, with each mission focusing on a different faction from the game. So you'll be on the side of the Red Line, the Reich, and the Polis Rangers.
This is the first of four piece of add-on content. The next packs will give you a challenge based mode with online leaderboards. After that is the pack featuring a shooting gallery, AI arena, Metro Museum, and a new solo mission. The last DLC will feature original single-player missions that will have you exploring the side-stories of Pavel, Khan, and Anna.
The Faction Pack is going for $4.99 on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Grabbing the season pass will net you all this for $14.99, saving you $5 if the rest of the packs are priced the same as Faction.
End of Nations has returned as the game's Alpha servers are back up. Only invited fans can test out the newborn game, and those of you interested can register for more of the Alpha taking place this Summer.
Players will notice a streamlined UI, cleaner graphics, smaller teams of two to four players, more emphasis on commander abilities, four new classes to pick from, and more focused objectives. That, and it's also a MOBA now.
“We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from our last round of Alpha and Beta testing – and applied those learnings to the game, boiling it down to the strongest core game elements –tactical combat, session-based gameplay, and vastly improved hero units,” said Scot Lane, Executive Producer of End of Nations. “Our core fans have been tremendous during this stage of early development. We are now confident we have the game the fans have been waiting for: a tremendously powerful tactical game that fans of war games and strategy will love.”
So yeah, that happened. Look, I'm willing to give the MOBA version a chance but my heart was so set on a gigantic large scale real time strategy. I ... I just need some space Trion Worlds.
San Diego Comic-Con is happening this week! So to celebrate here's a montage of cosplayers and even celebrities rocking it at London Comic-Con. Okay, I would have posted this regardless of SDCC happening right now. Expect way more cosplay goodness as the week goes by.
