Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Extended Trailer

After reaching the quota for tweets with the hashtag #CoulsonLives, Marvel has unleashed the extended trailer for their upcoming television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Enjoy:

The Novelist coming summer 2013

A newly released trailer for the upcoming indie game The Novelist teases what could be an extraordinary adventure game.  Placing players in the ethereal boots of a ghost haunting a house inhabited by a writer and his family, they are encouraged to explore and influence the lives of these characters while staying out of site.  As a fan of the genre and as a writer, I can’t help but be intrigued by this title.  The Novelist promises a game about “life, family, and the choices we make.”

Rumor: Next Xbox to be called “Xbox Infinity”

In just one week, all of the rumors and speculation regarding Microsoft’s next videogame console will be confirmed or denied.  The latest rumor floating around is regarding the name of the console itself.  Casually referred to as the “Xbox 720” and codenamed “Durango,” it’s now believe that the system will be called “Xbox Infinity.”  There was some speculation after Microsoft registered the domain for Xbox Fusion, but an “inside source” has told IB Times that Microsoft has settled on the name Infinity.

Microsoft is set to reveal its next console on May 21.  What the system will be called, its capabilities, and, most importantly, the games will be showcased on that date.  E3 follows shortly thereafter, so expect some exciting news in the gaming world in the next few weeks.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Teaser

ABC has signed Joss Whedon’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for full season this fall.  I don’t think there was really any doubt that it would happen, but now we’ve got confirmation and a teaser trailer for the upcoming show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The show follows the events of last years The Avengers and promises the return of Agent Phil Coulson.  There’s been a lot of hubbub about how he lived after he was supposedly killed in The Avengers, but that’s a mystery that will surely be solved this fall when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. comes to the small screen this fall on ABC.  Until then, just know that Coulson Lives.

 

Happy Mother’s Day from PowerUp Online!

While it’s a given that you should appreciate your mother every day, today is that super special day to really, really appreciate her.  So, be sure to wear a big smile, give her a lovely meal, and a wonderful gift that says, “Thanks, mom, for bringing me into this world.”

Slow Day: Looking for work

Greetings PowerUp readers.  My activity may be slowing down a bit (as you may have noticed by a lack of any other posts today) as I’m going to be occupied looking for employment.  A man’s gotta eat and, as much as I enjoy posting on PowerUp, this little entertainment blog doesn’t pay the bills.  I’ll get back to posting regular updates as soon as I can, but I felt it would be important to just let you know that I might be on and off for the next several weeks.

Thanks for sticking around and supporting PowerUp.  Our readership is consistently increasing and it’s encouraging to see our numbers steadily rise.  So, thank you, and I look forward to keeping you posted on all things entertainment as soon as I can!

“Wolfenstein: The New Order” officially announced

Bethesda has announced a new installment in the Wolfenstein franchise.  The brand has been dormant since under-performing Wolfenstein released in 2009.  This new iteration in the franchise will be a reimagining while staying true to its action-adventure shooter roots and is being developed by MachineGames.  MachineGames is composed of industry veterans who worked on The Darkness.

The New Order is being developed for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and next-generation consoles for release in the fourth quarter of this year.  The game will utilize id Tech 5 (first introduced with id’s Rage).

Techland’s “Hellraid” has a teaser trailer

The upcoming first-person action game Hellraid from Dead Island developer Techland has a teaser trailer.  It kinda looks like the offspring of the aforementioned Dead Island and Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls games.  If they can iron out the bugs that plagued Dead Island, this might end up being a wonderfully addicting gaming experience.
