With the release date for Rare’s Sea of Thieves fast approaching, the final push to convince the unconvinced that it’s a game worth giving a chance is on.

This week two new videos were released to accomplish this. The first is an eight-minute video going over all of the things you need to know before playing. And the second is a gameplay launch trailer.

A new co-op fantasy RPG from developer PlatinumGames and publisher Microsoft Studios was announced at E3 2014 titled Scalebound. The game was to offer co-op gameplay, with each player getting their own dragon companion to help in battles. This, as you might imagine, had gamers quite excited. Excitement only grew with the release of gameplay videos showing some epic battles you and your dragon would take part in.

But in a surprising turn of events, it has now been announced that Microsoft has decided to cancel the game. It joins other titles canceled by Microsoft such as Fable Legends, Halo Online, and Project Spark.

I haven’t had a chance to play the gorgeous action-platform side-scroller Ori and the Blind Forest yet, but it’s definitely on my list. Thankfully for folks like me a new Definitive Edition of the game is being released, which features more content and story and more, so we can enjoy it all at once while those who already played and loved it are enjoying all the new bonus content.

A trailer for the Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition has been released by Xbox, and can be viewed below.

Well then…did not see this one coming.

Microsoft Studios has announced that Fable Legends, the latest title in Lionhead Studios’ Fable game series that’s been in the works for a few years now, has been canceled, and that Lionhead itself might get shut down.

Fans of the Halo video game series were ecstatic to find out that Halo 4 was on the way, and that with it would come the return of a one Master Chief, who hasn’t been seen since Halo 3.

Said fans can now mark off a date on their calendar to anticipate as publisher Microsoft Game Studios and developer 343 Industries have officially announced a release date. Players can get their hands on Halo 4 this upcoming fall when it hits store shelves on November 6th.
