Ubisoft presents #LadyWoodpart2 featuring Aisha Tyler

Technical delies the quality has dropped from live tv to the web stream Apparently Spike decided that reruns of CSI would be better...

We start off with Jerry Cantrel from Alice in Chains. They are advertising RockSmith. I'm not really impressed that a RockStar can play his own song in a video game. Is this the game that you can use your own guitar? More information please. .25 points for Alice in Chains. I didn't learn anything about the game, because why?

Aisha Tyler's jokes are falling flat....again -.5 points.

Splinter Cell Blacklist...The poor man's Metal Gear Solid is next. The presentation is lacking. They are not going full screen for the videos. No Gameplay was shown. It looked like an episode of 24 on speed. 0.25 points.

Rayman Legends. This game was supposed to come out last year as an exclusive for the WiiU. but they delayed it and likely broke a contract with Nintendo so the game could arrive on more Platforms. It is a cute cartoon platformer with lovely visuals 0 points. This game was already supposed to be released, and because they were a dick to Nintendo.

The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. A free to play fantasy game where you build your own dungeon, and then raid your friends. You can try it now at www.themightyquest.com This looks fun and it is free so 1 point.

South Park: Stick of Truth. I think this game was supposed to have come out, but THQ's financial trouble held it up. It looks really funny and fun to play in the South Park world, but Cartman is right "Coming this Holiday Season or some Holiday season...or whenever you know how video games are"  .5 points

A new game with cars fleeing from cops. Didn't we just see Need For Speed? This is clearly prerendered and not gameplay footage. It's called "The Crew" and looks no different than EA's driving game. Ok we are going to see a demo. There is a large open world which looks interesting.  This looks like it might be fun, but more tablet integration. 1 point

Watch Dogs. We have seen this game several times now...Is this gameplay or live action? I'm not honestly not sure. It looks like it had a seamless transition to prerendered footage .25 points for not showing anything new game play wise.

Just dance 2014...Apparently this is an annual franchise now. I'ts a bit disappointing they didn't bring professional dancers out to show us how to play this game. .5 points for keeping that short.

Rabbids Invasion. A television show and game that you watch and play somehow? Seems like it will be fun for the kids. .5 points

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. You are a pirate. A very good looking prerendered trailer is shown of a barfight, some sailing, and a sword fight on a boat. It's a shame that this game is now an annual release. It makes each individual release less special because of this. .75 points for cool looking game and pirates, but not a full point because of annual releases.

A Sci-Fi game with bikes. A pair of new Trials games. 0.5 points Not a new IP and the previous games have failed to pull me in, but the new setting is cool

An open world RPG from Massive Entertainment. A game about an viral outbreak. It looks like it leans heavily on exploration. Hopefully its something other than zombies. This looks interesting and really fun. As it is a third person action game. My current favorite genre. This game looks amazing. Hands down. This is a game I could see myself playing with others. Hopefully it's not subscription based. It's called The Division! PS4 and XBOX One This looks amazing. Game of the show so far! 1 point
