A round-up of this weekend's video drops.
You might have noticed an unseasonal abundance of videogame nooz this weekend - 'tis all the fault of Spike's annual VGX awards.

Telltale working with Gearbox on new adventure series, coming 2014.
Hope you're prepared for a lot of news today folks - in case you didn't realise, the VGX awards were last night, and while the less said about the show itself the better, there was plenty of awesome reveals, trailers and juicy details about some of the treats coming next year.

Asks if fans would be interested in spinning out Black Flag's pirate theme away from the main franchise.
Yo ho ho, me hearties. Would ye be interested in plunderin' the murky depths of Ubisoft's locker and making off with the booty without Abstergo on ye stern?
