Bottom Line:
The Novelist, despite its flaws, offers players a thoughtful experience in a market filled with generic shooters and cookie cutter characters. Play it after it’s on sale, as its flaws do hide some of the appeal to an otherwise great, original game.

FWA 2014 League of Legends Tournament Details
If you're attending Furry Weekend Atlanta this year, and you're a League of Legends player, you may be interested to know about the upcoming tournament. Here are the official details:
This will be a 5v5 amateur tournament just like last year with a few changes to try and smooth things out and allow people to have more fun. We will do double elimination round robin this year so that a spot of bad luck doesn't doom a team and everyone gets to play a wider range of players. We will be starting the tournament off at 1:00 p.m. on Friday and can continue on to Saturday and Sunday if necessary. Sign ups will begin on Wednesday when the VGR room officially opens and end one hour before the start of the Tournament.
FAQQ: Is there an entrance fee to play in the tournament?
A: No, there is no fee to enter the tournament beyond the normal con registration.
Q: Can I bring my laptop or my own peripherals?
A: While we have very nice equipment of our own, we understand some players just feel more comfortable with their own set up and do not mind allowing you to use your own things, so long as it can be swapped out or set up in a timely manner.
Q: One of my friends cannot make it to the con, can he play from home?
A: As much as we'd like for your friend to be able to participate, we must limit players to attendees of the con.

Bioshock Infinite Burial at Sea: Episode 2 Trailer Released
Irrational Games has just released a trailer for Burrial at Sea part 2. It features a view of everything from Elizabeth's eyes rather than Booker's, it also features the return of Atlas, who I'm sure you'll remember as the twist vilian from the original Bioshock. The trailer shows Elizabeth bargining for her life with Atlas, telling him she can "get him back to Rapture" [with the help of Booker]. We also see a little sister who Elizabeth wants to protect. But enough talk, let's watch the trailer shall we? And before you go, don't forget to share this on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+....Would you kindly?

Nintendo's "Studies" of Smartphones Yields Interesting Conclusions
Last week we reported that Nintendo was "studying" smartphones and tablets after they were disappointed by financial reports. Well according to a report by one of the largest newspapers in Japan, The Nikkei, their studies led them to conclude that the best way to use smart devices to their advantage is to make apps to market their console games and sharing information like videos, screenshots, and even going as far as to provide short demos on Android/iOS devices.
Reportedly, the thinking behind this is that it’ll give mobile only players a taste of Nintendo’s product without having to put games on non-Nintendo devices, hopefully converting them to Nintendo customers.
The Nikkei also reports that all Nintendo smartphone content will be completely free, and they have no plans for paid content on Android or iOS devices.
Now saying that this move is naive would be an understatement but we’ll have to wait and see if it works or not. What do you think about this move? Let us know by joining the discussion below.

Assassin's Creed Ending Doesn't Actually Exist
It's no secret that I am a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, despite numerous critiques of it over the years. It is also no secret that I am concerned about the annualization of the series. This is why when Black Flag director Ashraf Ismail said, in a Eurogamer interview, that Ubisoft had “an idea of where the end is, what the end is,” I felt hopeful, especially after the stunning success of that game.
However, recent statements released by the writer of Assassin's Creed Revelations and Black Flag, Darby McDevitt, indicate that this might not be completely true. In an interview with Edge, he said “There's been a bit of confusion in that [Ismail] once said that Assassin's Creed has an ending – that's not exactly true. This storyline has an ending, but because all of history is open to us we see the universe as a Doctor Who type thing. There are so many possibilities we don't want to definitively end the universe, but we can have storylines that have endings.”
Continuing his remarks, “The end of the Desmond trilogy changed slightly, but was always intended to end that way. And then about two years ago we planned for another story... [However] we've moved on from specifically defining when a story will end.”
If I am being honest, I don't like this. I often have this problem with much American media, where they will keep a series alive until the point where not a single person likes the series any longer, then kill it off. It's like modern media corporations aren't aware of the concept of closure. I was afraid that the series would grow to be like this, and my fears have been realized. Do any of you guys have strong thoughts on the matter? Do you disagree with my own thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
