This week Marcus Bronzy and Louise Blain Kill Time With:
Watch Dogs: Legion
Watch Dogs: Legion is set in a post-Brexit dystopian vision of London. Depicting what British society might look like in the near future. A look at the culmination of huge political upheaval and highly advanced pieces of tech like artificial intelligence.
Watch Dogs: Legion has no main character. Instead you have to build an underground resistance of hackers. Recruiting your team from the many different pedestrians that roam London. Either through well known landmarks such as a militarized Leicester Square, Chinatown, Tower Bridge, London Eye or Camden Town. The trailer revealed London to look full of organized crime, grotesque levels of surveillance, via numerous drones in the skyline and overall a gritty representation of a future London.
Watch Dogs Legion is out on March 6th 2020 pre-Order by clicking here!

John Wick Hex
A John Wick game has been announced to be in development! It’s a strategy game and it’s called John Wick Hex. It’s going to be available on Windows PC/Mac via the Epic Games Store and it’s also coming to consoles!
Good Shepard Entertainment revealed via press release that John Wick Hex will be a ‘a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like, John Wick’.
Created in close cooperation with the creative and stunt teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe.
Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job and requires precise strategic thinking.
Good Shepard Entertainment announced that the upcoming game John Wick Hex, is being lead by game designer Mike Bithell. (Thomas Was Alone/Volume)
The story of the game is an original one, where ammo is finite and realistically simulated. So be conservative with your ammo, no spray and pray! Whilst you make your way through the game there will be chances to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Whilst these will change, dependent on how you play.
So far it has been revealed John Wick actors Ian McShane and Lance Reddick are involved. Whilst we hope many other actors join the cast of the game later!
However, there is no word yet on when the game will be released, but we hope we don’t have to wait too long!

More was revealed about the long awaited Avengers game from Square Enix at this years E3. A game based on a comic book has big shoes to fill after Spiderman’s stellar outing last year. Well, the trailer keeps us quietly confident that Square Enix are going to knock it out of the park!
This game has a campaign which is set 5 years after A Day. A Day is a day which celebrates all things Avengers, well things go ary and the Avengers are now outcasts. The team is required to re-assemble and take on a brand new threat. This story is a brand new and original story separate and not related to the MCU that we all know and love.
You get to take on all of your favourite characters from The Avengers, such as Captain America, Thor and Black Widow. You can play as a single player or as Co-Operatively too. Online play is there as you’d expect and can play in teams of four as various different heroes. Whilst new charactes and regions will come post launch and for FREE!

Borderlands 3
The crazy action role playing first person cell shaded shooter Borderlands made an appearance at E3 and we got to take a look at Borderlands 3!
E3 2019 and a character called Moze was shown off. Who isn’t exactly quiet. Moze is Borderlands 3’s Vault Hunter. She drops into her Mecha, called Iron Bear and blows a lot of stuff up. We view here taking on bandits in swampy locations and destroys everything in her path to achieve this goal. Moze’s main goal is to hunt down a Vault Key clue. Which hints towards how Borderlands 3 will play. It seems like players will be focued around using deduction methods to figure out where Vault Keys are hidden across the galaxy. If players decide to play as Moze to do it. Well you get a giant mech to make it all that much more fun.
