A French site linked to the leak of Gears of War 3.
It's months before the release of Gears of War 3, but unfortunately some people are impatient for Epic's game. This incident thatoccurred not too long ago has made such a security breach that law enforcement had to be called in. Thankfully that won't be necessary anymore.

Intense Game Trailer
A while back I saw a trailer for a game while I was surfing the internet. My computer or internet connection was acting up so I only got to watch about 20-25 seconds of a three minute long video. Well, finally I remembered to go back and look up the game trailer again the other day. To say the least, I was blown away. The trailer was for a game called Dead Island, set to release September 6, 2011.

Michael Condrey from Sledgehammer Games posted in a blog recently that Call of Duty Modern Warfare is going to feature a Color Blind Assist mode. Now, I know, you are probably wondering, what is that? And more pertinently, what is the point? But for people, like myself who are afflicted by color deficiency, or other who have full color blindness, this means that Modern Warfare 3 will be a level playing field.
The quick animations and flowing colors of modern games can be hard to follow for people with color related vision issues, and often times it means confusing enemies with friends in the game. Subsequently the game becomes bias towards people without these issues, and the inclusion of a Color Blind Assist

Nintendo's new console will support 3D TVs but won't focus on it.
The Wii U, Nintendo's new console, will support 3D television technology according to Nintendo's company president Satoru Iwata in an interview with Mercury News. However, since most people don't own a 3D TV these days and it doesn't seem like its going to be common as the DVD player for a while, Nintendo isn't putting much emphasis into it.
"If you are going to connect Wii U with a home TV capable of

Battlefield 3 fanbase raising the rivalry between EA and Activision
It's only been a few weeks since E3 wrapped up and already the fanbases of both games of Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are standing their ground on which game will win this year's FPS rivalry.

Now I'm a person who's usually on the fence

The popular gaming website IGN has recently posted a blog concerning the possibilities for a PS4 in 2012. The information comes from a Taiwanese manufacturer, who has allegedly leaked information that the Playstation 4 is on track to be available sometime in 2012. This information is tantalizing enough, but it gets better, much better. The Taiwanese source also boasts that the PS4 has a built in motion detection device, much like the Xbox Kinect. This takes the possibilities for Playstation gaming to whole new heights, and assuming that the rumors are valid, it is incredibly exciting news for the Playstation community.
The validity of this claim is debatable, but in the spirit of progressing the gaming industry, the addition of motion control to the PS4 would be an excellent new product. The Playstation already competes extremely well with

New development studio "Respawn Entertainment" consist of former Infinity Ward staff and Call of Duty creators
So a while back, Infinity Ward and a lot of the staff who worked on the Call of Duty franchise had a bit of tension going on (and when I mean "a bit" I mean "a large amount") due to contracts between them and Activision. In result, Jason West and Vince Zampella (who co-created the Call of Duty franchise) and nearly half of Infinity Ward's staff left the company to venture out on their
