Emma Tucker | Oct 18, 2016 11:25 PM CDT

The Pokemon GO craze has no doubt taken over the gaming scene around the world, but now it looks like the app will be making its first music career debut, starring in a parody type style video for the new Maroon 5 single: "Don't Wanna Know". Launching on YouTube only days ago, the video provided below is the official clip posted.

Maroon 5 known for its hit songs "This Love" and "Sugar", along with many other record selling titles, has taken the smartphone app an incorporated their own spin on it with the adaptation of humor and chaos, similar to how it's portrayed in today's society both online, and through social media.

The video clip captures lead singer, Adam Levine and other band members in what appears to be a monster/Pokemon like costumes running away from children that are seen holding phones, chasing after them. The music video then switches to a different scene located at a concert where it's apparent that all members are performing in Pokemon like costumes as the one in which Adam is wearing could be mistaken for the water Mon "Squirtle", as it possesses a turtle like shell and is visually the same color.

The first video game released on this day, 58 years ago

Lana Jelic | Oct 18, 2016 2:33 PM CDT

Today's game graphics are so close to reality that it's sometimes hard to tell whether it is a photograph or a scene from the latest game. Although the video gaming would not reach mainstream popularity until the 1970s and 80s, with arcade video games, gaming consoles and PC games, the first games were actually created about twenty years earlier.

What is considered to be the first video game - Tennis for Two, was released on this day, October 18th, 1958. American physicist William Higinbotham and technician Robert V. Dvorak, who created the game, displayed it on an oscilloscope and played with two custom aluminum controllers.

The game was pretty simple - it was rendered as a horizontal line, representing the tennis court, and a vertical line in the center, representing the tennis net. It was designed for two players, as the game says, who would hit and point the ball with a button on their controller.

Red Dead Redemption 2 won't launch on PC

Derek Strickland | Oct 18, 2016 9:02 AM CDT

After breaking the internet with image teases, Rockstar Games finally announced Red Dead Redemption 2. Sadly, there's no mention of a PC release at launch.

Red Dead Redemption 2 won't launch on PC

In a Facebook post, Rockstar revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2's Fall 2017 release date applies to PS4 and Xbox One, meaning PC gamers will have to wait...again. This isn't anything new for PC gamers; we've waited a year and a half for GTA V to launch on PC, but it was well worth the wait, and I'm expecting RDR2 will be as well. Think of it this way; console gamers will be essentially beta testing the game for its impending PC launch.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will usher in online multiplayer to the Red Dead franchise, likely carrying over Rockstar's GTA Online mechanics to the Western frontier. The studio affirms that RDR2 will feature "a new kind of multiplayer experience," hinting the online mechanics will be different than the wildly successful GTA Online.

After two days of teasing, Rockstar Games has finally let the cat out of the bag: it's Red Dead Redemption 2, folks.

Red Dead Redemption 2 includes online play, out in 2017

Rockstar today announced Red Dead Redemption 2, a sequel to 2011's landmark Red Dead Redemption. It'll feature an "epic tale of life in America's unforgiving heartland," and deliver a "brand new multiplayer experience." Since Rockstar just filed a trademark for Red Dead Online, we could expect to see a more dynamic GTA Online-style online system for RDR2. Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch Fall 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and a trailer will drop this Thursday at 11am EST.

"Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America's unforgiving heartland. The game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience."

Derek Strickland | Oct 18, 2016 6:31 AM CDT

Rockstar's new Red Dead game may have its own online component similar to the mega-popular Grand Theft Auto Online.

Red Dead Online trademarked by Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two Interactive have trademarked a Red Dead Online domain name, strongly hinting that the new Red Dead 3 will have dynamic online features. Given the wild success of GTA Online, it's no surprise that Take-Two wants to apply the revenue-earning scheme to its other popular IPs, namely the Western-themed Red Dead franchise.

The studio has already issued out two teaser pics for the new Red Dead game, the second of which apparently shows the legendary gunslingers of the Magnificent Seven.
