Ubisoft’s Steep coming to Nintendo Switch


Posted on January 14, 2017 by Jason Nason

While it wasn’t a part of the Nintendo Switch presentation, Ubisoft is bringing it’s recently released extreme sports title Steep to the Nintendo Switch. The exact release date is TBD, but the game was released last month on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam.

Experience the thrill of adrenaline-fueled action sports in Steep’s massive mountain playground! Create your own way to get down the mountain, dominating the terrain on ski and snowboard or owning the air in wingsuit and paraglide.

Go solo and explore the open world on your own, or tackle with other players the many challenges that the mountain has to offer. Relive and share unforgettable moments with video replay, or take your best trail and turn it into a challenge for your friends and find out who’s the best!

Call of Duty & FIFA 17 Maintain Top Sales Spots In First Week of 2017 In U.K


Posted on January 9, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

In the first post-holiday sales charts for the United Kingdom both the juggernaut Call of Duty and FIFA franchises have maintained their stranglehold on the top two sales positions heading into the second week 2017.

While established top contenders like COD may not have budged from the top spot the lower rankings did see quite a bit of a shuffle with Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 3 jumping up 7 places to claim the 5th spot this past week.  Also up in the charts  is Nintendo’s Pokemon Sun & Moon which climbed 4 ranks to clinch the 9th position in this week’s top ten.

Here are the top 10 games for the UK for the week ending January 7th:

  1. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
  2. FIFA 17
  3. GTA V
  4. Battlefield 1
  5. Forza Horizon 3
  6. Watch Dogs 2
  7. Mafia III
  8. Rocket League
  9. Pokemon Sun
  10. STEEP

Although I didn’t particularly care for Call of Duty’s repetitive rehash of Black Ops III’s mechanics it does seem to be quite popular with our European counterparts. Just this past weekend Jason reviewed Pokemon Sun & Moon – which he awarded an absolutely perfect score, 5 out 5 stars.
