Death Stranding now on its third week; Hideo Kojima tweets new poster
Riding on its third week in video game stores and shelves, Death Stranding has undoubtedly become one of the most ambitious and best-selling games as the year 2019 winds down to its conclusion. With its theme of "connecting people" and a science fiction post-apocalyptic storyline that is grand and epic in scale, the game marks a triumphant return for Hideo Kojima into the mainstream gaming world and a bold new beginning for his production company Kojima Productions. Many fans like myself have embraced this title, its gameplay, and its concepts, and to literally say "Tomorrow Is In Your Hands" signifies the kind of message Kojima wants to convey to his audience and players the world over.
Via his official Twitter page, Kojima-San shared this pretty awesome new poster - featuring Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges alongside all the tools and machinery he uses as a porter working to rebuild the "United Cities of America" and connect everything back together.
Death Stranding is now available for the Playstation 4. The game is also one of the many nominees with several nominations for this year's "The Game Awards", which you can vote for now.

Shenmue III: Launch Trailer and First 40 Minutes of Gameplay Video
Nearly two decades after "time stopped" and the series was left at a cliffhanger moment, Shenmue fans and players FINALLY get the moment they've been waiting for with the release of "Shenmue III" for the Playstation 4 and PC! Yu Suzuki's successful Kickstarter bid to continue the story has finally gone gold and is on sale now - picking things right where they left off and seeing Ryo Hazuki continue his journey around China to find his father's killer and avenge him.
As an action-adventure game series that has touched the hearts of fans who played the first two games during the days of the SEGA Dreamcast, Shenmue needs no introduction and was a game literally ahead of its time. Besides introducing QTE's and an "open-world" type setting for its day, this was a genuine nostalgic journey that took one martial artist living in late 1980's Japan from his hoemtown of Yokosuka to Hong Kong, and now we see the story continue through other parts of China as seen in this launch trailer below.
Shenmue III is now available for Playstation 4 and Windows PC worldwide.
