3 news items have peaked my interests this month. The DOOM Open Beta, The Division Free Update: Incursions, and the Star Wars Battlefront Outer Rim DLC.
First I want to start off with DOOM. From April 15th through the 17th, Bethesda and id Software's DOOM Open Beta goes live! "The Open Beta will feature two maps, two game modes, one playable demon, and seven weapons, along with never-before-seen armor sets, taunts and hack modules." According to their US site, and whatever hack modules mean. Get more info on the open beta and post launch DLC here. The full version of DOOM is also available on May 13th, if anyone is wondering.

Next up, back on the 12th, The Division got a beefy free update! "The Division 1.1 Incursions Update".
New features include an incursion called Falcon Lost. Your character must be level 30 and you need to complete the mission named General Assembly to gain access to the Falcon Lost Incursion. New Gear Sets have also been added to the update, so get to hunting. Finally, you can trade or give weapons to your friends or other players online. Daily and weekly assignments have been added to combat, the Dark Zone, and Crafting. Something I'm really excited for is Dark Zone Supply Drops! This is non-contaminated sought after gear, and it's really to use as soon as you claim it. They're suppose to make drops in the Dark Zone daily, it's a free for all, so get really for rogue agents or you yourself may need to go rogue! Gear Score has now been added to your character, this is a value based on the levels of your gear. Apparently based on your Gear Score, this will unlock high-end challenges. Lastly, they've added a group spectator camera, Dark Zone adjustments, game play tweaks, crafting adjustments, user interface updates, and of course bug fixes. See you in the Dark Zone!
If I missed anything or misinterpreted any info, check out the update trailer here.
The last game I want to go over is Star Wars Battlefront. Last week (even earlier if you're a season pass holder) EA and DICE released the DLC titled Outer Rim for the game. This includes 4 new maps, including Jabba's Palace, a new game mode called Extraction, one new hero and villain, Nien Nunb and Greedo, The Hutt Contracts which unlock new weapons and Star Cards. Get all the nitty-gritty details here.
A few days ago, EA and DICE also announced some details about the upcoming DLC releasing in June titled Bespin. Cloud City will be a playable map along with a new hero and villain, Lando Calrissian and bounty hunter Dengar. Make sure to boot up your game on May the 4th, EA and DICE claim to have some activities that day, details to come!

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is ever expanding, and I love it! Somehow it reminds me of when I was young and first discovering the different Marvel characters. I grew up watching the 90's X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons, but It wasn't until that first X-Men movie that really opened the doors for me. After watching the 2000 X-Men movie, I went back and started reading the original X-Men comics, which lead to a slippery slope of interest into the Marvel World. What I'm trying to say is that, I just hope there's kids out there that see these more obscure Marvel character movies (Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, and soon to come Black Panther) and want to go back to the original comics as I did!
I never through they'd make a Doctor Strange movie, I'd heard the rumors and wasn't sure it would work. You've got my attention once again Marvel, I can't wait! Watch the trailer below!

These are both really great starting points for what's to come in the near future for Nintendo. Miitomo is Nintendo's first mobile app and My Nintendo is an evolution of Nintendo's first rewards system, Club Nintendo. I'm really loving the new My Nintendo logo! They've split My Nintendo into a 3 point system, Miitomo Points, Platinum Points, and Gold Points. They've got some really easy ways to grab some Platinum Points right off the bat, so start exploring the page. There's no physical rewards yet, but I'm looking forward to what's to come, fingers crossing for cloud based game purchases to carry over onto the NX!

Sony claims that by the end of 2016, PlayStation VR will have over 50 available games. Granted they won't all be AAA titles, I'm still excited to make this purchase. What about you? Is VR here to stay? I hope so!
