Voodoo Vince Returning In 2017
Voodoo Vince: Remastered has been revealed to be in production for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.
Some of you are squealing right now, and many more of you are Googling "Voodoo Vince." Let me save you the trouble: it was a fun, charming puzzle-platformer released exclusively on the original Xbox in 2003. Its quirky setting and unique-at-the-time mechanics helped it build a small following, but it was subsequently lost to time.
According to the press release, and the very brief teaser trailer, Voodoo Vince: Remastered will be coming some time next year. In addition to now being presented in a 16:9 aspect ratio and running at 60 fps, the visual effects have been "updated," though the exact nature of said update isn't really explained, and the trailer doesn't appear to show any remastered footage.

Wrestling Wrap Up: Everyone Bow to Sasha Banks
Two PPVs a month? Not a fan. Nope. It's aggressive and it hurts. Of course, I'm just coming at this from a time management perspective. There's just too much damn wrestling and we all know this. I kind of wish my 12-year-old self who used to have to hunt, with feverish desperation, to catch one match on TV as a kid -- no matter the promotion -- could hear me be such an a-hole about the abundance of armbars these days. He'd scowl me something awful.
All these PPVs are a by-product of the brand split, of course. It's just one of the hiccups and hurdles I'll have to begrudgingly adjust to as I navigate my way through the New Era. And I'm willing. There are more benefits to the split than drawbacks. No, not every wrinkle's been smoothed over, but there's enough great stuff going on to keep me interested. I mean, just think about it. We didn't see Dolph Ziggler wrestle at all this week. Now that he's relegated to one show, if he doesn't have a match on that show, he doesn't get a match.

Mafia 3: Everything You Need to Know
The Mafia 3 journey from rumor to release has been a four-year trek of speculation, expectation, and new beginnings. With the anticipated next chapter in the open-world crime adventure hitting PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 7, now's the perfect time to look back on its history, from hints and teases to imminent release.
Below is a compilation of Mafia 3 news, IGN in-depth coverage, trailers, and gameplay that's slowly trickled out over the last four years.
Here's everything you need to know about Mafia 3.
The very first blip on the Mafia 3 radar came way back in August of 2012, with reports the now-defunct 2K Czech was developing Mafia 3 for the then-next-generation consoles, though the developer refused to comment on the rumors at that time.

Watch Dogs 2 Adds Fun to Every Facet of the Game
After a really effective reveal just before E3 and the surprise news that it would be released just a few months later, I had one single hope for Watch Dogs 2 — that it would take the solid framework built by the original and confidently add meat to the bones, much like Assassin’s Creed 2 did for that series. Well, after spending over five hours getting into all sorts of trouble across the entirety of Watch Dogs 2’s depiction of the Bay Area, I’m happy to report that it seems like Ubisoft has done just that.
After my extensive hands-on time, as well as a series of interviews with the team up at Ubisoft Montreal, it was clear to me that the mission statement of Watch Dogs 2 was to ask a simple question when it came to every single facet of the game — is this fun? Part of the main criticism of the original WD was that Aiden Pearce was a bit of a wet blanket, and his grim quest for revenge didn’t exactly jive with the idea of using the city of Chicago as your own chaotic playground. Well, all that is thrown out the window in WD2, as our new hero Marcus Halloway represents a much more lively facet of the hacking world, and in so, allows the players to treat San Francisco as a canvas for their own destructive ideas.
