Gears of War 3 goes behind the scenes to discuss the end

When Gears of War 3 hits this September, it will mark the end of an era. The franchise has become one of the most important and recognizable games of this generation of consoles, and after several years as one of the Xbox 360’s flagship exclusive titles, the trilogy comes to a conclusion. There may or may not still be further GoW games in the future, but the primary story of Marcus Fenix and his now shattered society will reach its finale.

In the video below, the developers at Epic Games talk a bit about the world that players will enter when they play GoW3. It is a society that has already collapsed, and the survivors are simply those that are too stubborn to die. There is no military, and the governments of the world have fallen. All that is left is a handful of former COGs that embark on one last, desperate mission.

Green Man Gaming Black Friday: Become a Gold member free and get exclusive deals
Green Man Gaming Black Friday special -- promo image with player on PC

Around a year ago thanks to a big game purchase on Green Man Gaming I was upgraded to the Gold XP tier. With that comes access to exclusive deals, every month, as it's the top tier of the brand's customer loyalty program (XP). You get the best possible pricing for a myriad of PC games, plus exclusive vouchers that help you save on some of the latest titles. A lot of times, when new games are released there are discounts available which is what I love about it. But here's the thing, instead of actually having to purchase a few games to upgrade your membership tier, you can get that totally free as part of a Green Man Gaming Black Friday promotion. Just use the exclusive voucher XPDIGITAL and you’re in.

You get access to all of those perks without paying a dime and you can take full advantage of Green Man Gaming’s Black Friday sale with a ton of steep discounts on PC games. Green Man Gaming partners with publishers directly, so you know you are supporting your favorite developers when you shop with them. GMG is on the up and up. I can attest to this, as well. All games I’ve purchased through the platform work great and I have never had keys revoked. There are no obligations here so you might as well go check it out. See below for some examples of the great discounts you can expect and more about the Gold tier membership.

MLB The Show 25 will ditch one of the series’ most unpopular features

PlayStation revealed the first details of its sports game MLB The Show 25, and from just this basic information, it's looking like a different beast compared to its predecessor.

The biggest change in MLB The Show 25 unveiled in a PlayStation Blog post this week is that the developers at Sony San Diego are removing Sets and Seasons from Diamond Dynasty. This feature was introduced in MLB The Show 24, but was poorly received by players since it limited cards obtained in the Diamond Dynasty mode just to their season. It was meant to expand the game's live-service offerings, but it backfired with the player base. Now cards can be used across seasons and the game's life cycle.
