This year gamers around the globe were hoping for a few things, including a new Splinter Cell and a London-based Watch Dogs 3. But alas, we were left with disappointment on both those fronts.

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
