E3 2012: First Look At Ubisoft’s ‘Watch Dogs’ Hacks The System, Impresses Many Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:02 PM PDT One of the surprises of this year's E3 convention is a new game from Ubisoft titled Watch Dogs. The game has wowed everyone who's seen the gameplay Ubisoft has shown off, as it takes the immense network we rely on every single day (electricity, phones, etc...) and uses it as a tool for hackers to wreak havoc on the environment around them. Not much else is known about the game, but as you'll see in the gameplay demo below, Watch Dogs could present an exciting new open world game with an endless amount of options to do what you need to do.

Bob Welch, Guitarist For Earlier Incarnation Of Fleetwood Mac, Dead At 66 Posted: 07 Jun 2012 05:47 PM PDT Musician Bob Welch, who was part of the rock/pop group Fleetwood Mac in the era that was in between the band's original blues sounds of the late 1960s to the later more superstar pop phase that started in the late 1970s, died today at his home in Nashville, TN, in an apparent suicide, a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the chest, reports the Los Angeles Times. A suicide note was left behind by Welch, who had suffered from undisclosed health issues. Welch was born in 1945 in Los Angeles, CA, to parents who were in the Hollywood industry. His dad was movie producer and screenwriter Robert Welch, who worked with luminaries such as Bob Hope and singer Bing Crosby, and his mother was Templeton Fox, a singer and actress who had appeared various films throughout the mid-20th century [...]

Geek Peek: New Image Shows Ferocious ‘Star Trek’ Game Enemy The Gorn Posted: 07 Jun 2012 02:55 PM PDT Just yesterday we shared with you that the new Star Trek game being made by Namco Bandai would have all of the important actors from J.J. Abrams' 2009 hit reboot of the beloved science-fiction universe returning to voice their characters in the game, and that the enemy you would face in the game would be the feared lizard-skinned Gorn. If you head to that story there's a small glance at what the Gorn will look like, but now a much closer and much more terrifying peek at the Gorn has been revealed. [...]

Out of many, only eight of them survive. But the plane crash was just the start. [...]

Doom Digest: Battlestar Galactica, Game Of Thrones, Tim Burton, Ray Bradbury Posted: 07 Jun 2012 11:00 AM PDT Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don't always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis.

E3 2012: First Look At Rare M-Rated Nintendo Game ‘ZombiU’ Exclusively For Wii U Posted: 07 Jun 2012 10:00 AM PDT While the motion gaming of the Nintendo Wii has a massive family-friendly appeal, it never much impressed more seasoned gamers who wanted less cartoony party games to play. The creation of Microsoft's Kinect and PlayStation's Move have opened doors to more substantial motion gaming options, but the arrival of Nintendo's Wii U looks to be hoping to lure some of those gamers their way with the announcement of ZombiU.

E3 2012: ‘Gears Of War: Judgment’ Announced; First Trailer & Gameplay Footage Released Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT When the story of Marcus Fenix, Dom, Cole Train, Baird, and the rest of the COGS ended with trilogy-maker Gears of War 3, it was generally known that more games would eventually be made. The question was how long down the road would Epic Games wait to make another, and where would they go in the story with the threat Locust and Lambent threats taken care of, and their popular lead character, Fenix (voiced by John DiMaggio of Bender from Futurama fame), seemingly out of the picture. The answers? Well, as it turns out, Epic didn't want to wait long. A new installment in the series has been announced, titled Gears of War: Judgment, that will cover the rest of the questions by being a prequel. [...]
