What Kind Of Licensed Disney Games Could We See Now That Infinity Is Officially Over?
Even though many developers have moved on to new studios and new projects after Disney Infinity was officially cancelled on May 10th this year, it doesn't negate the fact that Walt Disney has been in the business of video games for nearly 30 years and are constantly looking toward their future and all potential games. The cancellation of Disney Infinity was, needless to say, a shock to fans of Disney Interactive and their multiple projects. As the publishing and development branch of the beloved House of Mouse Disney Interactive had designed Disney Infinity to be a truly unique sandbox style game that allowed players to become nearly every Disney character imaginable from: Lightning McQueen to Mr. Incredible, Captain Jack Sparrow to Captain America, Stitch to Anakin Skywalker and oh so many more. Disney Infinity looked to carry the model of toys-to-life to heart, and in less than six months the game had three million starter packs sold. It looked destined for magnificent things, but then all future plans were cancelled.

Super Mario Run Has Been Announced, But Here's What I'm Actually Excited About
The iPhone launch event this week was pretty standard fare for the most part. At least that's what I got from the tweets my friends were shooting out. People were also foaming at the mouth about the headphones of the thing, but I didn't pay much attention. To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the iPhone since it first came out since I am, admittedly, an Android fanboy. I didn't expect to there to be anything for me to get hyped about. Boy, was I wrong. During the event, Shigeru Miyamoto came up on stage and I paid attention with wide eyes and a confused stare. Shigeru Miya-f*#king-moto!? What the heck was he doing at an Apple event? And then he made the announcement. Super Mario would be coming to iOS via the mobile game, Super Mario Run.

Agent 47 Is Coming to Hulu Thanks to 'John Wick' Creator
If you think about it, there really is no better man than Derek Kolstad to write the pilot script for the newly announced partnership between Fox 21 (Subsidiary of 20th Century Fox) and Hulu to develop a series around the best-selling franchise from IO Interactive, Hitman. Kolstad is the creator and writer of John Wick, John Wick 2 and the upcoming third film set to release in 2019.
