Watch Dogs (Multiplatform) [videogames] – Summer
2014
Assassin’s Creed developer Ubisoft Montreal’s newest
game screams next generation. First demonstrated
at E3 2012, Watch Dogs will be an action-adventure,
open world role-playing game based around modern technology. You are vigilante hacker Aiden
Pearce and in order to complete objectives and right
wrongs, you will need your wits, your fists, some
weapons and, most importantly, your personal
hacking tool.
The Flash runs onto TV screens [TV] – [early 2014]
Arrow’s televised adaptation of DC’s Green Arrow
character was an unexpected success with its first
season, a perfect balance of strong characters, action, adventure, and an intriguing narrative made it
a fun show to watch. Now it seems we will be getting
another cult favourite DC Comics hero on the small
screen in the shape of The Flash, via a rather unconventional route. Within Arrow’s second season, expect to see a series of appearances of a young man
called Barry Allen, played by Glee alumni actor Grant
Gustin. Something will happen to Mr Allen and this
sequence of events will culminate in an episode that
shall act as backdoor pilot for the scarlet speedster
in 2014. We can hopefully expect Barry Allan to race
into his own successful series by the end of the year.
The list is by no means comprehensive, but I think
you’ll agree that there is plenty to look forward to
next year.
