Sleeping Dogs Info
Over the years we have seen an increased involvement of celebrities within the gaming industry. But the best way they are involved with the industry is not via gimmicky PR stunts and endorsements but by actually contributing to the games themselves.
Keeping motion capture aside, the major way these guys contribute is via voice acting which if done properly, really gives games another level of authenticity and allows gamers to connect to the story and the characters. This is why games like the Uncharted series are so great, because the voice acting and dialogue is just superb.
United Front Games have been saying that

There are A LOT of editions coming out for Assassin's Creed 3 as Ubisoft prepares to rake in the cash. We had already gone through all the Tier 1 Collector's Editions, Special Edition and PS3 bundles but it seems there was one more that we overlooked. Can't blame us considering the amount of versions Ubisoft has been crunching out.
The Ubiworkshop Edition of Assassin's Creed 3 is ONLY available for pre-order and is supposed to give owners a better understanding of the franchise. The Ubiworkshop Edition was initially priced at $109.99 with a discounted price of $99.99 for those who ordered before

Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Medal of Honor is posing some serious competition against Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 this year. The Frostbite 2 engine makes that game stand out from previous shooters. It looks absolutely gorgeous and seems Danger Close are really trying to achieve new heights with this game.
Check out the campaign gameplay demo:

Halo 4 Multiplayer News
New information has surfaced surrounding the much anticipated Xbox exclusive, Halo 4. To be more precise, the information is regarding a new requirement that needs to be fulfilled in order to play Halo 4's multiplayer.
It seems that Halo 4's multiplayer requires a total of 8 GB of free space for an install, either in the form of extra space in an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external flash drive. However, Microsoft highly recommends the in-built hard drive over the external as the former is supposed to provide a more "optimal experience". I am guessing the optimal experience means less lag and load times?
