Microsoft always start their E3 briefing with a bang and this year wasn't any different. Halo Infinite is  the next title in the highly anticipated sci-fi shooter. Microsoft isn't letting slip on any details as of yet other than a new engine called Slipspace. {Get the previous pun? i know it's a bit on the nose}

 

Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer did go on to say that Halo Infinite will be Master Chief's 'greatest adventure yet' as he battles to save humanity. Here's hoping Locke has gone in the way of the dodo as in extinct.

No Skylanders Game Coming In 2017

Activision has announced that there will be no new Skylanders game in 2017, however, they have confirmed there will be plenty f Skylanders goodness coming in  2017. Activision Blizzard CEO Thomas Tippl said the following during last night year-end earning call "In 2017, rather than releasing a new console title, we will be supporting the award-winning Skylanders Imaginators with multiple adventure packs, new characters and new in-game content," he then followed up with "We are also excited to bring Skylanders Imaginators to Nintendo Switch as a launch title next month, and we have a new Skylanders mobile game in development."

In addition to the upcoming year of content for Skylanders Imaginators,  they also announced that a new season of Netflix's Skylanders Academy in 2017 followed up with a third in 2018.

After a few weeks of my daughter constantly playing Skylanders Imaginators, i managed to pry it away and get some time in with the game. It's honestly been really refreshing playing something so colourful and just plain old fun. Been nice a break from the drab, gritty art styles that so many games use.

Middle lane sightlines will cater to long-range players while the outsides of the map allow for quick counter-attacks in close-quarter action.

Welcome To The New HelloGhostly Website

Firstly welcome to the brand new HelloGhostly website. have a little look around and let me know if you like the new digs or not. So you're probably wondering why the change ? well I ran into many issues with the original host and I needed something that would run fine on its own while I constraint on other avenues like podcasting and live streaming. I didn't really have the time to continually pop back every day to update something or deal with security issues. I needed something simple and easy. I plan to run multiple podcasts and to do that I need time. So long story short I needed more time to work on shows rather than the website. However that doesn't mean I won't be posting here, in fact, I plan to post more. I'll have more time to discuss gaming news, reviews and even chat in the community forums. 

Hope you guys like the new website and what's to come in the future. Until then, I'll catch you next time

Ghostly Out.

Nintendo Switch Release Date And Price Announced

Nintendo just announced the release date for the switch and it's super soon. As previously speculated we assumed the Nintendo Switch would launch in March but who knew it would drop on the 3rd. Yup, its coming 3rd of March and will cost £279.99 and that's just the console with no pack in game. I find this super strange because they also announced a game in the vain of the super popular WII Sports. Personally, I don't really understand why they wouldn't include 1 2 Switch in the bundle. There so close to "possibly" obtaining the same success they had with the Wii.
