Fans awaiting some early year action from Capcom will be out of luck, and it mainly has to do with the company feeling like too many first-quarter games will cramp their mojo. Startling news surfaced about Hearst reviving EGM and giving it a bit of a digital flair; and fans of the realistic military sim Ghost Recon are in luck, as Ubisoft has trademarked Ghost Recon Future Soldier…but does that mean gamers will get to use all that high-tech gear teased in previous titles? Well, you’ll have to read the whole story to find out. These stories and more in this December 26th edition of the Blend Games Weekly Recap.
