Speaking ofThe Division, the beta testing for it will begin on January 28 for Xbox One, and January 29 on PC and PS4.
Next week on Xbox One, you’ll be able to play all of the games on EA Access for free. That’s assuming you have a currently active Xbox Live Gold subscription that is, sotechnicallyit isn’t free if you want to be pedantic. Still, there’s some good games in there that’re totally worth checking out.
Oh, and EA Access has also hit PC, in the form of Origin Access.There’s some pretty decent games in there, so it might be a good deal if you don’t already own a lot of them.
Vivendi’s gunning for buying out Ubisoft, as it’s sold off all of its remaining Activision Blizzard assets. Should Ubisoft be worried?

Sony’s always been stiff competition to Microsoft, which means it’s no surprise PlayStation users watch more porn than Xbox players.
That’s most of this week in a nutshell! Shitting dogs, fighting chandeliers, console porn, and John Romero. Pretty standard week, if you ask me!
