Jim Bennett (Wahlberg) is not your average English Professor. He runs in an illicit, underground world of gambling and isn’t afraid to bet on himself, when he borrows money from a gangster (Williams) and offers his own life as collateral. To make matters worse, Bennett risks his career when he becomes involved with one of his students (Larson), who knows about his gambling.

To keep ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring (Alvin Ing) and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother (Lange) in his wake. Challenging himself to play on both sides of the betting table and capture the attention of loan shark, Frank (Goodman) . . . Bennett discovers that all in, is the only way out.

Let us know what you think of The Gambler in the official trailer below.

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue Forces You to Question the Creed

Assassin's-Creed-Rogue-Question-The-Creed-KeyArt-01

For years we’ve joined the Assassins on their quest to free people from the “tyrannical” order of the Templars. But, as the old saying goes, there is always two sides to every story, and before gamers get to experience the opposition’s point-of-view first-hand in Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, they can revisit some of the most memorable assassinations in the franchise’s history with a different perspective.

Visit www.assassinscreedrogue.com now and relive all of the impactful assassinations carried out in Acre, Damascus, Florence, New York, Boston, Constantinople, the Caribbean and everywhere in-between. Then, listen to the understandings and opinions of the victims given by both sides and, perhaps, you’re own opinion might be altered. Learn their intentions via the interpretations of familiar fellow Brotherhood member Shaun Hastings, and Abstergo employee Melanie Lemay.

Come November 14, everything we’ve been trained to believe may come crashing down as Ubisoft‘s Assassin’s Creed: Rogue launches for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The Other Guys was one of the funniest movies of 2010 and that was in no small part to the excellent buddy-cop antics of Will Ferrell (Anchorman) and Mark Wahlberg (Transformers: Age of Extinction). Well, now the two areteaming up once again for “Daddy’s Home” which follows a mild-mannered radio executive (Ferrell) who strives to become the best step-dad to his wife’s two children, but complications ensue when their freewheeling and freeloading real father (Wahlberg) arrives, forcing him to compete for the affection of the kids.

Daddy’s Home is set for filming later this year and is being being produced by Paramount Pictures in conjunction with Red Granite Pictures and is being slotted in for a 2015 release. Are you excited to see Ferrel and Wahlberg on screen together again?

GTA-V-Remastered-Screenshot-19

In another piece of Grand Theft Auto V for next-gen news, Rockstar have released a comparison video highlighting the dramatic differences between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions. You get the sense that Grand Theft Auto V was actually made for next-gen consoles, which is something that can’t be said for other remasters.

On top of the up-rezzed textures, 1080p resolution, and more than doubled draw-distance, the addition of the first-person mode and classic franchise cars, as well as the exclusive content for returning players, means that this is the biggest and best re-release ever. Period. It’s worth noting that the 1080p, 30fps benchmark will be maintained on the Xbox One and PC editions too, with the latter receiving 4K resolution support. Check out the comparison video for yourself below.

Grand Theft Auto V will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 18, and for the PC on January 27, 2015.

Check Out the Grand Theft Auto V: First-Person Experience

GTA-V-Remastered-Screenshot-29

Okay, so if all that exclusive content for returning players still had you unsure about purchasing and playing through Grand Theft Auto V all over again would be worth it, now you will be so sure. Rockstar have released a trailer showcasing the new “First-Person Experience” for the enhanced re-release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and it is the furthest thing from those quick-and-easy PC mods people have made.

Not only can you switch between first-person and third-person at any time (in-vehicle, during a shootout, whilst behind cover and in the midst of a violent ragdoll moment), but every vehicle has had its interiors modelled in detail, a more traditional FPS control scheme has been integrated, the targeting system offers more options and 3,000 new weapon animations have been added. Oh, and the mode is accessible in both single-player and GTA Online. Check out the breath-taking trailer below, as well as our gallery of brand new screenshots.

Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be available on November 18, and for PC on January 27, 2015.
