1. Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 will be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in the first half of 2015, Eurogamer has reported. It is not said if Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions are also in the works.

Citing anonymous sources close to the project, it is said that Far Cry 4 will be formally unveiled by Ubisoft at E3 2014 in June. Far Cry 4 will also swap out the tropical setting of its predecessor for the snowy mountains of the Himalayas. This marks a big switch in aesthetic for the sandbox series, which until now has been set in sun-drenched environments.

Players will also be able to ride elephants, it is said, and there will be a variety of other new features and additions to the title. An emphasis on hunting is still said to be present, and the world map will be split up with outposts in a similar fashion to Far Cry 3.

A Ubisoft Shanghai employee listed Far Cry 4 on his resume back in January.

"We’re totally psyched from [Far Cry 3]," said Ubisoft executive Tony Key to GameSpot last year. "It’s a great brand, and now it’s got the recognition it deserves, so we’re clearly going to make another one: more on that soon."

2. Gta V
"Substantial additions" that extend the story of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor coming next year. 





Rockstar Games will release Grand Theft Auto V story downloadable content in 2014, the developerannounced today through its website.


"We have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin, and Trevor's action, mayhem, and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas," Rockstar said.


No new single-player content for GTAV has been announced to date. Predecessor Grand Theft Auto IVwelcomed two post-release expansions: The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.


Also planned for 2014 are GTA Online Heists. Rockstar said it is currently working "very hard" to polish them as best it can before release next year, though no other details were revealed.


Rockstar also teased today that it has "much more" to announce regarding 2014 plans for GTAV and GTA Online. The developer is rumored to launch GTAV for the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 sometime in 2014. For more on GTAV, check out GameSpot's review.


3.Nintendo
Nintendo has said its Star Fox Wii U game is on track to launch in 2015, as part of a wider announcementwhere it revealed release dates for key upcoming games.


The Star Fox game, which has yet to be given a specific title, is the brainchild of the corporation's talismanic developer Shigeru Miyamoto.


A rough prototype of the game was shown to GameSpot at E3 in Los Angeles, and at the time Miyamoto said he was considering partnering with an external development studio to help support the project.


"This is a game that we've developed internally up until now, but because we do want to bring this to market very soon, we are looking at some potential partner companies that we can team up with," he said. However, Miyamoto also assured fans that he "will be directly in charge of the project," regardless of what other studio Nintendo partners with.


The Wii U Star Fox game will mark the first original game in the series to be published since 2006, when the company released Star Fox Command on the Nintendo DS. Nintendo confirmed it plans to release the game in 2015 as part of a tweet detailing projects currently earmarked to ship next year.


Games already lined up for next year include:
Splatoon
Yoshi's Woolly World
Mario Maker
Project Giant Robot
Kirby and the Rainbow House
Project Guard
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Zelda Wii U


GameSpot's Star Fox Wii U preview explained that the game displays on both the console's GamePad screen and the television set. "The GamePad gives you a cockpit view, allowing you to aim and look around independent from your ship's movement. The TV screen gives you a view more like a traditional Star Fox game.


"You can take out enemies, just not with the same level of precision as using the GamePad. Meanwhile, you need the TV screen to get a larger look at the full battlefield and keep track of your fighter when taking evasive maneuvers."


Miyamoto told GameSpot that the project began as an internal experiment but, prior to E3, transitioned the project into full production.


"The way that I design games, I start by experimenting with a lot of different assets and play styles. And then, once we have all that laid out and understood, then we go into full development and begin building the graphics around them."


4.Destiny Planet
Activision launches a new Google Street View-style website for several of the places you'll visit in Destiny. ing different to promote Bungie's new first-person shooter. Today it launched Destiny Planet View, a website that allows you to tour areas from Destiny with a Google Street View-esque tool.


Built using Google's actual technology, Planet View lets you explore environments on Venus, Mars, and the Moon, three of the places you'll go in Destiny. You'll navigate areas right from the game just like you would a road in Street View, complete with players and enemies standing around--almost as if you're walking around a world frozen in time. Certain areas contain hotspots that bring up images, videos, and information when you click on them, and there's enough to explore here to keep you busy for some time.


Planet View doesn't contain every area that can be visited in the game. There was some concern following this summer's beta that Destiny was not as large as some had assumed, but Bungie has insisted Destiny is the biggest game it's ever made. It recently said that players may never be able to "finish" it.


Destiny launches next Tuesday, September 9, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. For more on the game, check out our previous coverage.


5.Pay Day 2
The Gage Assault Pack is being announced with some decidedly Battlefield-esque promotional materials.





Payday 2 will be receiving some new downloadable content this week. To promote it, developer Overkill Software has set up a page on its website that bears more than a little resemblance to the marketing forBattlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. Battlefield 3's promotional soldier, for comparison


The Gage Assault Pack is a relatively standard DLC release, if one sure to be appreciated by those continuing to play Payday 2. (Gage is a wheelchair-bound character from the game.) What makes it interesting is the way Overkill is advertising it, with music that sounds a lot like certain Battlefield tracks, and a promotional image and video that is undeniably Battlefield-like.


This isn't meant as a knock on Battlefield--both Overkill and Battlefield developer DICE are located in Sweden. Overkill acknowledges this is an homage to Battlefield, writing on the game's Steam Community page, "This is us at Overkill tipping our hats to a fellow Swedish game developer."


Payday 2 players won't have long to wait before getting their hands on the Gage Assault Pack; it's scheduled for release on Steam this Thursday, September 4, for $4.99. You can check out a list of what's included below, with more details on the weapons and customization options set to be revealed on Wednesday on Thursday.

Expensive Movies Ever

3 Most Expensive Movie Ever Made




1. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) - $341.8 million


Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a 2007 American fantasy swashbuckler film and the third film in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. The plot follows Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), and the crew of the Black Pearl rescuing Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' Locker, and then preparing to fight the East India Trading Company, led by Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) and Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), who plan to extinguish piracy forever. Gore Verbinskidirected the film, as he did with the previous two. It was shot in two shoots during 2005 and 2006, the former simultaneously with the preceding film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.(Wikipedia)

Top 1 My Review: According to my opinion, this movie is very good . Although there are many effects in the film but the effect was very real.I think this movie get number 8 of 10 .



2. Cleopatra (1963) - $339 million


Cleopatra is a 1963 epic drama film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The screenplay was adapted by Mankiewicz, Ranald MacDougall and Sidney Buchman from a book by Carlo Maria Franzero. The film starred Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Roddy McDowall, and Martin Landau. The music score was by Alex North. It was photographed in 70 mm Todd-AO and DeLuxe Color by Leon Shamroy.(Wikipedia)

Top 2 Time Magazine Review:Sad to say, however, the deep-revolving, witty Mankiewicz fails most where most he hoped to succeed. As drama and as cinema, Cleopatra is raddled with flaws. It lacks style both in image and in action.






3. Titanic (1997) - $294.3 million
Image result for titanic movie
A seventeen-year-old aristocrat, expecting to be married to a rich claimant by her mother, falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.(IMDb)

Top 3 BBCi Almar Haflidason Review:The critical knives were out long before James Cameron's "Titanic" was complete. Spiralling costs that led to it becoming the most expensive motion picture of the 20th Century, and a cast without any big stars seemed to doom the film before release. But box office and audience appreciation proved Cameron right and many critics wrong.


It's reckoned that the rivets were a key structural element that failed the doomed liner. But you could hardly condemn the whole ship as shoddy, or question its magnificence. The script for the movie is rather like those rivets. It's weak and riddled with poor dialogue. But despite its failings it's hard not to become swept up in the sheer grandeur of "Titanic".


Previous disaster epics like "The Poseidon Adventure" or "The Towering Inferno", used a layered structure of introducing many characters with separate stories that would interact towards the inevitable calamity. "Titanic" offers up only two central characters, with DiCaprio playing an impoverished artist, and Winslet the wealthy bride to be of the wonderfully demonic Billy Zane.


DiCaprio and Winslet fall for one another in some remarkably contrived scenes, but their inevitable fate is nevertheless very touching. Surrounding them is the opulence of a movie that is technically excellent. The sinking of the great ship is no secret, yet for many exceeded expectations in sheer scale and tragedy. And when you consider that it tops a bum-numbing three-hour running time, then you have a truly impressive feat of entertainmentachieved by Cameron.
