Past Weeks Big News

Hello all! Sorry our news is two days late but that's just because we have been busy with the Holiday Gamer Gift Guide (which you should check out) and due to the fact that this week had some huge trailer releases because of Spike's VGA's. Now enough with the stalling and lets get straight to it.

Naughty Dog showed off their new IP called "The Last of Us" showing off stunning visuals, interesting characters and an apocalyptic setting. All of this is definitely worth checking out in the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLGxubfC1Ik

Epic Games also showed off a new IP named "Fortnite", a Minecraft inspired game that blends cartoonish graphics with crafting and survival gameplay. Check out the trailer here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GSfjeYVpkQ

Lego: Batman is getting a sequel! Boxart in a new Lego set showed off work from the game including the title. The title is Lego Batman 2 DC Superheros and features the likes of more than just Batman but other DC characters such as Superman. No trailer has been posted.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is already getting DLC as Bethesda announced that the DLC will feature massive content that should keep the players occupied for a long time. Also it's good to point out that the first 2 DLC packs will be exclusive to Xbox Live users 30 days before PS3 owners.

Men in Black 3 received its first official trailer and it doesn't look all that impressive. NNandMR is sceptical but we'll let you be the judge of that by visiting the trailer here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLHTASPjQMo

In the spirit of unimpressive trailers G.I. Joe 2 Retaliation also came out with it's first trailer and looks as bad as the first. All action and no story, but if that's your thing check it out here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTrIVfnTi8Q&feature=related

And that's about it for this weeks big news guys! We thank you for tuning in every week to check out what's new and as always if you have anything you want us to check out/review either comment the blog or tweet us on Twitter @NNandMR

Holiday Gamer Gift Guide


Hello all! Welcome to New News and Movie Reviews' Holiday Gamer Gift Guide! This time of year can be hard for parents and others who don't know what to get people really good gifts so NNandMR is here to help! We've created a guide that will help you find that fantastic gift no matter who the person is!

We start for the person that has either an Xbox 360 or a PS3 because we were graced with many many good 3rd party games. Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, CoD Modern Warfare 3, Dark Souls, Battlefield 3,  LA Noire, Portal 2, Saints Row The Third, Assassins Creed Revelations and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

For viewers that only have an Xbox 360, here's some exclusives that they are sure to be happy with, Gears of War 3, Forza Motorsports 3, Halo Combat Evolved and The Gunstringer (only on Kinect)

The PS3 had a very good year as it also received many exclusives that are worth checking out, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Infamous 2 and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. Great job this year Sony.

Unfortunately the Wii didn't receive the same treatment as the other consoles because this year was a big let down with Nintendo. The only game I can actually recommend to someone would have to be The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Better luck next year.

Sports fans don't feel left out! There were a ton of great sports games this year like NHL 12, NBA 2K11, WWE 12, and Fifa 12. These are sure to put a smile on your face.

For parents that don't want to get their kids violent games, we have also come up with some great kids games such as Rayman Origins (All systems), Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii), Mario Kart 7 (3DS), Super Mario Land 3D (3DS), and Sesame Street's Once Upon a Monster (only on Kinect).

So there we go! Our finest picks for all too share. Hope it helps people get great gifts this year and as always, stay tuned to New News and Movie reviews in the next few months. January is going to be a big month for us because we have been holding a lot of reviews till after the holidays. Happy holidays to all!

Past Weeks Big News

Hey all, first of all NNandMR would like to sincerely apologize for our lack of posts this week. This is because of our main and only writer having phone issues (which he writes on), so it is hard to get our major content out. Were hoping to resolve this issue soon. Also, because of the lack of content from the past week, New News and Movie Reviews has decided to post our Holiday Gift Guide this week so stay tuned! Now onto the news.

Disney's new movie John Carter received a new trailer this week, showing off powerful and impressive CGI. John Carter looks like it's going to win audiences around the world when it releases March 9th. To view the trailer click the link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlvYKl1fjBI

Reports have been coming in about the latest Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim patch claiming to make the game run even worse than before. Bethesda has said that it involves corruption issues that were leaked and are working on a solution to this problem. NNandMR recommends anyone that doesn't have the patch to not download it as it can corrupt save files.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 is getting a huge new Dashboard update that will bring a fresh new look, upgraded Kinect support, Hulu Plus and ESPN to American customers, and search technology with Bing Microsoft's search engine. The upgrade will hit Xbox Live on December 6th. Microsoft also plans to add a ton of new features with 3rd party developers coming in later December.

Epic Games, the studio behind Gears of War and the Unreal franchise, is planning to show off a brand new game at this years Spike VGA's. Epic has stated that it will be an entirely new IP and like nothing we have seen before.

Game of Thrones is finally being put to Blu-Ray/DVD. HBO has revealed that the set will come out on March 6th 2012  and will cost 79.98 for Blu-Ray and 59.99 for DVD.
