I'm having a tough time deciding if I should pre-order: Max Payne 3, Darksiders II, Borderlands 2, The Witcher 2, Dragon's Dogma, Bioshock Infinite, Prey 2, and Tomb Raider.

That's a lot of games and many of them come out in the same month. I can't afford it all. :( Maybe Tomb Raider, Witcher 2, Borderlands 2, and Max Payne 3.

Why would you pre-order Witcher 2? It's been out since last year.

Not the 360 version, dude. Miss the announcement a few pages back? April 17, 2012 for 360.

New info that's just been released. Assassin's Creed III is set during the American Revolution.

I'm wondering how they're going to deal with all of the guns in the setting. The series is mostly centered around melee combat.

The setting also means less cities and more countryside. The cities in colonial America weren't nearly as large or grand as the ones in Europe.

UPDATE: Some in-game screenshots

A found a nice little indie MMO in development called Island Forge.

Quote
Create islands with stories for others to explore! Using the built-in Island Builder, arrange your island's terrain, scenery, town shops. Place actors (non-player characters) and write their dialogue (the story they tell).

Voyage from island to island. Go on solo adventures or form expedition parties to tackle the wilderness. Beyond the safety of town, numerous creatures lurk in the darkness. Equip yourself before setting out to explore and clear away the darkness. Rewards of experience and resources are waiting to be claimed by intrepid adventurers.


Also I'm interested in the Realm of the Mad God game that was put on Steam recently, anyone else put a shot into it?

This is intriguing. I'd like to try it sometime.

Finally found me a wi-fi network that a standard DS can handle. I now have all the downloadable puzzles for the first three Professor Layton games. Yay for additional content I suppose.

Also, I know I'm a little late to the party, but this is one of the most interesting and creative Minecraft 1.2 showcases I've ever seen.

I want to try 1.2, but my server is still using 1.1 until they can update some programs they use to moderate the server. :/

I agree with both these reaction gifs.  But sims use the latin script now?
