<p>Welcome to the Weekly Wrap-Up, the weekly (and ever evolving) time when we look at the top five <a href="https://bagogames.com/weekly-wrapup-3/">news</a> stories of the week. And what a week we here at BagoGames had, luckily no server issues though. Below is a brief summary, for the full stories, simply click on the hyperlink. So here’s the list without further adieu:</p>

<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/weekly-wrapup/assassins-creed-3-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-16726"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16726" title="Assassin's Creed 3" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/06194659/Assassins-Creed-3-300x202.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>If you are like many PlayStation Vita owners, you may be lamenting the lack of games that are available for the system. We have heard <a href="https://bagogames.com/assassins-creed-iii-ghost-recon-final-mission-possibly-coming-vita/">rumor that <em>Assassin’s Creed III </em>and <em>Ghost Recon: Final Mission</em></a> are coming to the powerful hand-held. It looks like the <a href="https://bagogames.com/assassins-creed-3-liberation-coming-vita/"><em>Assassin’s Creed III</em> rumor has some merit to it</a> after a leaked page scan from next month’s Game Informer magazine hit the web. We have not heard any more on the possibility of <em>Ghost Recon: Final Mission</em>, but I bet that will change Monday.</p>

<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/thq-months-taketwo/thq-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-10428"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10428" title="THQ" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/06222659/THQ.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="168" /></a></p>
<p>THQ, the struggling publisher, has named <a href="https://bagogames.com/jason-rubin-named-president-thq/">Jason Rubin</a>, co-founder of Naughty Dog, as the new president of the company. Rubin will be responsible for the worldwide product development, marketing and publishing operations and will be reporting to THQ CEO Brian Farrell. Rubin left Naughty Dog in 2004; three years after Sony Computer Entertainment bought the studio.</p>

<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-development-3ds/atluslogo/" rel="attachment wp-att-16031"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16031" title="AtlusLogo" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/06200358/AtlusLogo-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><em><a href="https://bagogames.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-development-3ds/">Shin Megami Tensei IV is currently being developed for the Nintendo 3DS</a></em>, Atlus confirmed earlier. Japanese <a href="https://bagogames.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-development-3ds/">gaming</a> magazine Famitsu was expected to be the first to reveal information about the game, but printed a two-page teaser stating that the title was headed to the 3DS. Atlus has plans to launch a website for the game which is available through <a href="http://megaten4.jp/">here</a>. I’m sure this title will showcase all the strengths Nintendo’s newest handheld unit has.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bagogames.com/activision-westzampella-settlement-reached/">legal drama</a> between Activision and former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella has come to an end and a settlement has been reached. While specifics of the settlement have not been released, Activision has released the following statement: “The company does not believe that the incremental one-time charges related to the settlement will result in a material impact on its GAAP or non-GAAP earnings per share outlook for the current quarter or the calendar year, due to stronger-than-expected operating <a href="https://bagogames.com/activision-westzampella-settlement-reached/">performance</a> in the current quarter.”</p>

<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/weekly-wrapup-2/lego-lord-of-the-rings-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-14124"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14124" title="Lego Lord of the Rings" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/06205237/Lego-Lord-of-the-Rings1-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>After rumors of the games existence, Warner Brothers and Traveller’s Tales have officially announced <em><a href="https://bagogames.com/lego-lord-rings-officially-announced/">Lego Lord of the Rings</a></em>. The game will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Unlike Lego games of the past, this game will feature full voice acting from the movies and will not be quit as linear as past games and will be more of a grand adventure instead of a series of short stories.</p>
