The next iteration of Super Smash Bros. seems to have leaked its roster. A post in NeoGAF brought to light several pictures from the 3DS version, revealing the full roster and the selection screen. Many people dismissed this as false for various reasons. However, more leaks have appeared, all compiled by NeoGAF, with more screenshots showing off just how the selection works.
A variety of major gaming companies, including Sony, may be the victim of coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, according to Sony’s President, Shuhei Yoshida. The ‘group’ that has claimed to have carried out the attacks calls themselves the ‘Lizard Squad’.

When I was in elementary school, a major Japanese franchise hit American shores: Pokémon. Before I knew it, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue swept the schools, with the card game quickly following. The cards were exhilarating: purchasing booster packs with the chance of getting rare cards, boxed sets guaranteeing you to get some powerful cards, and even the allure of debating with your friends whether or not a trade is “fair”made for exhilarating playground debate.
I have recently become addicted to Minecraft… again. No surprise there. A grown man spending so much of his free time on a single game is already pretty sad, especially when that game mashes up his most favorite things in the world: LEGOs and NES themed graphics.

I believe BioWare could be potentially passing up an important opportunity.

I’ve known about this for some time now, yet I didn’t expect to be so apathetic towards the new consoles. I still don’t own an Xbox One, and I don’t expect I will until Halo 5 shows up. Until then, I have a nice PC, which has been my primary method of gaming for quite a few years now.

Sean Mesler, Facebook friend and writer of GamerHorizon, looked to have the final word in the debate between the original and new Xbox One.
