Qualcomm first teased its revolutionary Snapdragon on Windows deal with Microsoft just before Computex 2017, I knew it would be a game changer that wouldn't happen overnight, but it would start with a bang and really ramp up as new products were released.

HP has had its Envy x2 on the market for weeks, and it's already sold out. HP's ultra-portable Envy x2 packs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor (8-core CPU at up to 2.6GHz), 4GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS storage, and a 12.3-inch 1080p touch display - all with 4G LTE for always-connected PC greatness.

But with it selling out so quickly, it seems that there are thousands of people who have been wanting the always-connected side of things backed up by a huge 22 hours of battery life. This isn't possible on traditional Intel/AMD-based notebooks, something that Qualcomm is changing the game with.

Bloober team, the devs behind Layers of Fear, will have their mysterious new game published by Friday the 13th's Gun Media.

In terms of official details, next to nothing is known about Project Melies, which is Bloober Team's new game. But IGN made an apt connection to renowned 19th French movie-maker George Melies, who helped pioneer the art with thousands of short films during the era (you may remember Voyage dans la Lune, or A Trip to the Moon, Melies' most well-known film). After all the codename has Melies' name in it.

"We are thrilled to be working with Gun Media," added Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team. "The Gun team have seen the potential of our game from the very beginning. Based on their level of passion, knowledge and philosophy, we believe that together we can create a game that will be remembered years after its release."

As soon as I hit my desk this morning I read "unconfirmed takeover rumors" that AMD was to be acquired, with rumors hitting Wall Street, according to Bloomberg.

AMD shares are up 5% from the takeover news, which is the largest single-day climb of AMD stock since January 3. There's nothing more to this rumor, but AMD is losing against NVIDIA in the gaming market - and at least keeping up in the cryptocurrency mining market. On the CPU side of things AMD has been banging some heads together, something that has sent Intel into a flurry.

I reached out to some of my usual contacts and asked if they had heard anything, with both of them not hearing much, or anything at all. I'm just reporting the news as usual, and right now I think an AMD acquisition makes sense for a few companies... but we'll have to wait and see.

Nintendo has just finished their Nintendo Direct livestream on YouTube, closing out the stream Nintendo teased that Super Smash Bros. is coming Nintendo Switch fans in 2018.

The teaser began with Splatoon characters duking it out against eachother, only for one of them to realize what was happening behind them. The area began to fade black and the Super Smash Bros. logo appears behind them, showing a group of characters at the base.

The video quickly pans up to Marios face and then quickly switches to Link, only to end with "Super Smash Bros. 2018." It could also be speculated that because the Splatoon characters are within the trailer that they are to be added into this new Super Smash Bros. Check out the screenshots below, or watch the above video to check out the teaser.

Black Ops 4 is indeed happening (go figure!) and Activision has secured a Fall release date for its big new Call of Duty shooter.

In a recent press release, Activision shows it's extremely confident in Treyarch's new Black Ops game. The publisher says Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (or Black Ops ]II[) will "revolutionize the top-selling Call of Duty series in history" with a "game-changing experience."

Treyarch will reveal full details about the game on Thursday, May 17 in a special showcase ahead of E3 2018, and Black Ops 4 will release Friday, October 12, 2018 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. This will secure Black Ops 4 ahead of the critical holiday sales period and coincide with Activision-Blizzard's fourth quarter earnings.

Today The Division devs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft have confirmed a sequel to the gritty third-person shooter.

Ever-chasing live services, Ubisoft has had The Division 2 in the works for a bit now, and it may be the mystery AAA game it was supposed to launch this fiscal year (but most likely it isn't). Details about the sequel are sparse, but the team at Massive affirms it has learned tremendously from the last two years of upkeeping, updating, and engaging The Division players across the globe.

The Division 2 will be the culmination of a huge joint effort of Ubisoft studios, the company confirms. Six studios including Ubisoft Reflections, Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Bucharest will work alongside Massive to make the game. This makes a lot of sense considering Massive Entertainment is also working on a huge sprawling multi-year series of games for the new Avatar movies.

After an anonymous source that tipped off that Bandai was to bringing Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy to the Nintendo Switch, we now have confirmation.

The Trilogy is made up of games Ultimate Ninja Storm, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and Ultimate Ninja Storm 3: Full Burst.

Bandai Namco commented on bringing Naruto: Ultimate Storm Triology to the Nintendo Switch, here is what they said: "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy drops players into the Ninja World and gives them the chance to actively experience major battles and fan-favorite scenes with larger than life bosses, adrenaline-pumping quick time event sequences, fast-paced battles, and visuals that rival the anime series it is based on."

At the start of the year Nintendo announced that My Nintendo users will be able to use their Gold Points to purchase titles across the Wii U, 3DS and Switch eShop. This feature is now available!

Users that are interested in using their My Nintendo Gold Points will should know that 100 gold points is equivalent to $1. Players that decide to make purchases through the eShop will be rewarded back with 5% of their purchase value in Gold Points. Physical purchases will sadly only be rewarded with 1% of the value.

It should be noted that while games with DLC's on the Switch will grant players Gold Points, DLC's on the Wii U or 3DS will not. Additionally and probably most importantly, Gold Points have a one year expiration date on them, counting from the last day in the month from which they were earned.

State of Decay 2, the zombie-survival RPG from Undead Labs has been announced for a release on the 22nd of May, to go with the release date is also the set price point for the game.

According to the games head of marking Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft has decided to stick to long-term goal with the State of Decay community. This would mean widening the audience of the game by lowering the initial cost to only $30.

Here is what Greenberg had to say: "Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with the State of Decay community and to foster deeper experiences with the franchise. We believe State of Decay 2 accomplishes this goal by immersing fans in the ultimate zombie survival fantasy, and we want to give more players the opportunity to join in and experience this unique game."
