This week we see two big-name titles being dropped. The first is the highly anticipated third game in the Crysis series, which unless you are playing on a console will be a fun reminder of those PC upgrades you’ve been putting off. The second is the latest installment after 26 years of Metal Gear games. With these and the other games being released this week, you should be busy for a while (at least until next week).
Games listed in alphabetical order. Click the title to investigate.

Rumors have been flying around the internet since Sony told us all about their big announcement on February 20th. Many sources say it is definitely the PS4, but we are just going to have to find out.
In the mean time, we can take a look at a few leaked images which are supposedly of the new Dualshock 4. Several sources are saying the new controller WILL look similar to the following images. They are reported to be prototypes, but keep in mind the the 20th is probably just the announcement of the PS4, not the release. The final model has plenty of time to be tweaked, changed, and improved.

So the one game I was looking forward to the most for my increasingly irrelevant Wii U was Rayman Legends. I was so close to getting it, and almost went to slap some money down on a pre-order. Unfortunately, it has been announced that the release date is now September 2013.
Not only has the release date been pushed back, but Rayman’s latest adventure is no longer a Wii U exclusive. Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft’s French studios, said the following in an interview:
When we saw all the comments when we announced the game would be focused on Wii U, all of the people that have both the PlayStation 3 and 360 were really disappointed. So we thought it was making more sense to also bring the game to where it was originally from. That means Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So we decided to go for a multiplatform launch simultaneously.
Obviously the co-op gameplay involving the Wii U’s gamepad will remain exclusive, but Xbox and PS3 will have co-op similar to Rayman Origins.
It’s a different kind of experience if you have the Wii U. Obviously there will be cooperation on the PS3 and 360, but on the Wii U there is still this magic of having one player that can play on one system with a new experience and the other on the usual game pad. That stays a Wii U exclusive for sure, by definition.
I guess we’ll all have to wait to get our hands on Rayman Legends. Be sure to download the demo from the Wii U eShop to help pass the time.

The news may have came and went, but that’s not stopping us from getting a piece of that Nexus 7 action. The new tablet from Google is boasting some pretty decent specs, and sports an OS that has always intrigued myself (the Vanilla kind). Let me start off with a rundown of specs and then move on to the mushy part where I talk about my feelings.
The 7-inch Nexus 7 made by Asus has a resolution of 1280 x 800 (216PPI). The screen has a protective Corning Glass coating (Gorilla Glass), and provides a sharp picture according to those who have held it and reviewed it in person. Inside the Nexus 7 you’ll find a quad-core 1.15GHZ Tegra-3 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a choice between 8 or 16GB of on-board storage. If you wanted more, here it is: Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, NFC, gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer. The front facing camera is a decent 1.2 MP. The Nexus 7 sports speakers, and a pair of microphones.
