If you have already purchased Grand Theft Auto V on either the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 4, you are in for a treat - Rockstar have just announced a bunch of exclusive content that will only be available to those that have played GTA V on the Xbox 360 or PS3 in the past.
The new content will range from new items to completely new events and rewards. Starting with events, returning players will be able to access random events across the game. On top of this, there will be a new 'Duke O' Death' vehicle, and the infamous Dodo seaplane will also be making a return.
Players will also be given a brand new story mission to play through where they will take control of Michael as he follows a cryptic murder mystery.
There will also be two new weapons for returning players - a high velocity rail gun, and an up close and personal hatchet melee weapon.
Players will also be able to take part in a new animal photography challenge which will get players travelling the entire

Ah, the elusive Fallout 4. We keep hearing whispers and rumors about the game, but we never actually see anything official. If we are lucky, that may all be changing soon however, as it has been revealed by an insider that Fallout 4 may in fact be shown off for the first time at VGX 2014.
That insider is Geoff Keighley, host of VGX. According to Keighley, some kind of new announcement is planned for VGX by Bethesda, and a cryptic tweet almost suggests that it will be Fallout 4.
Of course, nothing is confirmed at this point - the reveal at VGX 2014 could be anything - Bethesda may decide to give another look into their new DOOM game, or they may have something completely else planned.
However, if Bethesda were to announce Fallout 4, VGX would be a good place to do it. In the past, Bethesda have used VGX (or Spike TV) to make new game announcements, and in fact, The Elder Scrolls Skyrim was announced at VGX for the very first time at VGX 2010. The game then released a

If you have been keeping an eye on Advanced Warfare, you are probably already aware that the game comes with a brand new zombies mode that offers players the ability to fight against waves after waves of the living dead.
However, for the first time ever, players will (sort of) be able to play as a zombie by playing Advanced Warfare. Similar to the clothing system in Call of Duty Ghosts, players will be able to unlock cosmetic gear by completing certain goals.
If you manage to do well in the new zombie mode, you may stand a chance of unlocking zombie cosmetic gear to wear in Multiplayer. There are four different pieces of zombie clothing, and to unlock the full outfit you will need to complete various tiers of zombie mode.
"Survival mode in COD: AW has 4 tiers, 4 maps in the first 3 tiers, 1 map (Riot) in the last tier. To unlock the 2nd tier, you need to complete 50 rounds overall in the 1st tier, to unlock the 3rd tier, you need 75 rounds overall in 2nd tier, for the

Destiny The Dark Below is the first DLC planned for Bungie's latest title, and there has been a bit of controversy surrounding the expansion pack. Whilst DLC has now been pretty much accepted as a common practice by video game developers, they are usually at only a portion of the price of the full game.
Destiny the Dark Below has been set at $20, which is around a third of the full game price. To make things even worse, the same DLC has been put up for £20 in the UK, which is more than $30.
So, what exactly do you get out of Destiny The Dark Below, and is it worth paying one third to one half of the original game price for it?
In Destiny The Dark Below, players will be given access to three new story missions, two new strikes, one of which will be limited to PlayStation 4 will Fall 2015, and a new raid called Crota's End.
Finally, Destiny The Dark Below will include three new Crucible maps called Pantheon, Skyshock and The Cauldron - the game should also get

Got any change to spare? If you have, you may want to boot up your Xbox 360 and head to the Xbox Games Store. Want to know why? Right now you will be able to find GTA: San Andreas for just a few bucks.
The game has debuted on the Xbox 360 this week, and it comes with a range of improvements to make the game slightly better than the original.
Firstly, the new GTA San Andreas HD has had a resolution increase, and the game now plays at 720P. Whilst it seems that Rockstar have simply upscaled the original textures, it's nice to see that the game will run smoothly on the Xbox 360 at a 720P HD resolution.
On top of upscaling the resolution, Rockstar have also increased the in-game draw distances, which will allow players to see more area of the map at once whilst playing.
Finally, with the debut to Xbox 360, Rockstar have added a bunch of achievements for the game that can be unlocked by playing through the story.
The new GTA Sand Andreas HD can be picked up

Although Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is just around the corner, COD developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch have put up a brand new promotion for both of their latest games, Call of Duty Ghosts and Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
If you play either of these games, you may want to start playing before Halloween as both of these games will be receiving double XP, starting from now, all the way up til the end of Halloween.
For COD fans, I think this would be the perfect sprint towards the release of Advanced Warfare, which is set to land on the first week of November.
The double XP promotion will double all experience earned from all game modes within the game, so if you want to finish up your prestiging or need to get some more squad points, we would definitely suggest you to consider playing this week.
When Advanced Warfare launches, there will also be a short early access double XP period that will allow players to gain XP a day before the full launch date.

Whilst a lot of player's interest for Titanfall has died out, Respawn Entertainment are still trying hard to keep things fresh and updated. Recently, I played Titanfall for the first time since it's launch period, and I must say that the game has improved tremendously.
Now, for the first time ever, Respawn Entertainment have added a brand new Player vs AI mode that pits four pilots against waves of enemies. Players must defend the harvester against the waves, and they will lose if the harvester gets destroyed.
In similar fashion to Call of Duty Zombies, the AI in Titanfall will become harder to deal with on each round. Each round will have a combination of different spectre, ghost and titan units, and Respawn have also added some unique units into the co-op mode.
One of the unique units is the suicide spectre- these run at ridiculous speeds straight towards the harvester, and will explode upon touching the harvester or any other players. The second unique unit is the

Whilst all of the main characters for Smash Bros have now been revealed, Nintendo still have plans to add more characters to the roster in the future in the form of DLC.
The first character to get the Nintendo DLC treatment has been revealed to be MewTwo. This is a character that hasn't been in the franchise since Smash Bros Melee, so I think there's a lot of excitement for MewTwo.
MewTwo will be offered for free to those who buy both the 3DS version of Smash Bros and the Wii U version of the game. Whilst he is still in development at this point in time, MewTwo should be made available at some point in Spring 2015.
Whilst he's been mentioned as a DLC character, no word has yet been given on whether MewTwo will be made available for those who do not buy both versions of the game, although the word DLC does suggest that he will be put up for sale for those not willing to splash out on both the 3DS and the Wii U version of the game.

If you're a fan of the recent surge of new horror games that have been released over the last couple of years then you will be excited to hear what we have to say today. It has been confirmed by Red Barrels that they have started development on Outlast 2.
The first Outlast game managed to be very successful - first starting as a small indie game available through Steam's greenlight system, it came on to becoming a full Steam game and then released for consoles later in the year.
The next Outlast game will be made for consoles and PC on day one, and it will come with a whole set of new scares. Whilst Outlast 2 will be set in the same universe as the first game, Outlast 2 will be based around a new survival horror story.
Red Barrels have not given much more information about Outlast 2, besides from the fact that they are working on a sequel to the first game, because they feel like they, "had at least another horror game in us."
"The game will be a survival horror

The Iron Banner mode in Destiny is a PVP game type that does not level out weapon stats to make an even playing field. Instead, players' weapons are left mainly untouched, which gives players with legendary and exotic weapons the ability to get an advantage over those with lower tiered weapons.
There is a lot of mixed thoughts on the Iron Banner mode in Destiny. Some players like the opportunity it gives them to try out their overpowered weapons on opponents, whilst others feel it completely removes the skill from the game.
Bungie have been listening to community feedback, and following on from this they have made some considerable changes to how the Iron Banner mode in Destiny will work going forward
Tyson Green, lead designer at Destiny shared some information on how the Iron Banner changes are taking place.
"The goal for level advantages in PvP had been to create relatively small advantages that would suffice only to tilt the balance between players of equal
