Last week, NVIDIA highlighted its Project SHIELD in the first video of its PC Mondays series by showing us how exactly the device will sync up with your PCs. The process was easier than we originally anticipated as it took very little effort to get the PC version of Borderlands 2 up and running through Steam.

One concern people had regarding the demo was how exactly non-Steam games would play. This week’s video highlights playing non-Steam games, one of which is EA Games’ Need for Speed: Most Wanted. (more…)

President Obama is no stranger to using the Internet to converse with not only the American people, but also millions around the world to discuss a number of important topics. Last year, he hosted a Google+ Hangout session, and it looks as though he’ll be hosting another one this week.

The event will be called a “Fireside Hangout” and will allow the President to chat with several people selected by Google in order to spark conversation with him with their own questions. The Fireside Hangout will take place on February 14 at 4:50 EST, which is two days after his State of the Union speech to the U.S. Google is giving you until 11:59 p.m. ET to submit your questions as a video or text via the White House’s YouTube channel.

Those interested in viewing President Obama’s Fireside Hangout are encouraged to visit the White House’s Google+ page or their YouTube channel, although if you’re not one of the lucky few who have been chosen to chat with the President, then you should plan for the event to be a one-sided chat.

Assassin’s Creed 3 was released in time for 2012′s holiday season and received the Battle Hardened Pack last month, but this month it’ll be receiving its first full downloadable content.

The upcoming DLC for Assassin’s Creed 3 is called Tyranny of King Washington and it imagines a United States where George Washington made himself a king, instead of creating a new republic nation by becoming its first president. Washington being in possession of a piece of Eden doesn’t help as he’s become crazy with the power.

Tyranny of King Washington also highlights some special abilities for Ratonhnhaké:ton which will allow him to attack enemies with the Power of the Bear, move quickly with the Power of the Eagle and become the ultimate predator with the Power of the Wolf. He’ll also be given new weapons and a wolf companion.

The Tyranny of King Washington will be released as a three-part DLC. The first episode will be available on February 19th, while the 2nd and 3rd episodes will be released on March 19th and April 23rd, respectively. Each episode will cost $9.99, but a season pass will be available for $29.99 and comes with two additional pieces of DLC.
