Call of Duty Reigns Supreme

Halo 4 may have been released one week before Black Ops 2 but it remained in second place this Black Friday week in the amount of players online according to Major Nelson.

In that same top five bracket was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in fourth place trailing behind Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.

The original Call of Duty: Black Ops sits at sixth place while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reigns at ninth place.

Skyrim Patch Info

A new patch for Skyrim has been released which has so far only been updated on the Xbox 360. The patch will be downloaded once playing Skyrim on Xbox Live, and has ironed out a few issues with the game.

The patch has fixed bugs with Arnleif and Sons trading company, NPC duplication, and vampiric grip and exterior doors. The patch also includes some back-end code to make Skyrim play smoothly.

For PS3 owners, and Xbox 360 owners outside US or the UK, the patch won't yet be available to you, and Bethesda hasn't stated when these consoles will get the 1.8 patch.

The new patch should hopefully help the new Dragonborn downloadable

If you've been a fan of the wacky FPS for a while now, then you've probably heard talk about a new HD remake collection of all the previous games, and now Crytek, the new developers of Timesplitters, have heard talk too, and they want to know how many people are interested in a new remake for the classic first person shooter.

Free Radical were the original developers of the Timesplitters series, but back in 2009 Crytek bought them out after the world had decided that they prefer more realistic games like Call of Duty or Battlefield 3, to the inane cartoony gameplay from the Timesplitters series.

However, CEO of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, has made a small statement about a possible future HD collection, but it's very much down to the player's input. Cevat has said, "There's a very hardcore market that is very verbal about it. I would love to see this, and if the fan base approves a further petition. They're trying to call 300,000 voices; I think it's at two or three thousand right

After the delay due to Hurricane Sandy, Rockstar has finally released the second trailer for GTA 5. The new trailer depicts the world of GTA 5, and flashes between the three characters that you will play as in the game. Straight away, it's easy to note how far Rockstar have worked on the story of the game, and I think the characters are going to feel more lifelike and humorous than ever before. On top of the realism within the three main characters storylines, the graphics are top-notch too, and although the trailer mainly showed cut scenes within the game, the graphics in GTA 5 will probably be a big improvement from Grand Theft Auto 4.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will take players back to San Andreas, where the story progresses between the three separate characters' lives as they weave in and out of each others stories, creating a huge, well-constructed single player experience. On top of the huge storyline, the total land space of Grand Theft Auto five will be four times that of Grand

Bungie were very nice to the Halo Reach community, and were always fine tuning the matchmaking playlists to make players' gameplay experiences ever more improved. Bungie went as far as to change some of the weapon mechanics, which is a huge deal when applying this to an Xbox 360 game that had been out for over a year. 343 Industries hasn't mentioned any such game-changing plans, but they are adding and rotating the War Games playlists each week. Last week 343 added SWAT to the mix, which for many was a great relief, and it's quickly become one of the most played playlists on War Games matchmaking.

Next week 343 will be adding Team Snipers, which will be playable on Longbow, Complex, Solace, Ragnarok, Vortex, Exile and Meltdown. Similarly to SWAT, players will be able to choose between predefined load outs, although so far secondary weapons have not been included.

A few other changes have also been applied to matchmaking, and although there isn't anything too interesting, these

Saints Row the Third

If you haven't played the third installment of the Saints Row series yet, or you didn't want to buy the extra downloadable content the first time round, this may be a great time for you.

The Full Package pretty much contains what it says on the tin. The new premier edition will include the three extra download content mission packs; Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space and 'The Trouble with Clones.' On top of that, all of the DLC items will be included, as well as a bonus thirty new items, including new vehicles weapons and costumes.

The Full package was released in USA on November 6^th, and the rest

Black Ops 2 Miss Print?

For most, purchasing Black Ops 2 has been a smooth process, and gamers have gotten straight into Treyarch's new Call of Duty within minutes, but for some, their copy of Black Ops 2 didn't offer what was expected.

BioWare has estimated that around 1,000 people have fallen victim to a failed factory line and have received a copy of Mass Effect 2 instead of the second Black Ops 2 disc. A video released online shows a player putting in what looks to be the second disc of Black Ops 2 to only be greeted with a Mass Effect 2 logo on his PC.

Although this is just for PC users, some players who have purchased a copy of

New Dead Island: Riptide Info

Although most information about the sequel to the successful open-world zombie game, Dead Island, has been hushed up, Deep Silver has started to give us a little more to get excited about for Dead Island: Riptide.

As well as the four heroes from the first game, Riptide will welcome a new playable character who goes by the name of John Morgan. John has become a master in hand-to-hand combat through self-training, and although he planned for a great career in the US Navy, he ended up as a military ship cook instead, so his cooking is pretty damn good as well.

The military ship will navigate to the island

Free Microsoft Points

Unless you're fortunate enough to be a professional gamer, making money from your gaming hobby isn't exactly easy. However, along with Microsoft's new Xbox reward system, Halo 4 players will be rewarded for doing what they do best; playing Halo 4.

This month, Microsoft will be giving out free Microsoft points to whoever plays Halo 4 and completes the challenges set out to the players. A new announcement by Microsoft has told us that there are a total of 800 Microsoft Points up for grabs, which is around $10.00 worth.

600 of the Microsoft Points will be awarded for playing for different periods of

Next Uncharted Info

Thanks to the Australian Classification Board, we may have a bit of insight into what the next Uncharted game will be.

The new game is titled Uncharted: Fight for Fortune and according to the leaked information it will be a multi-platform game, although this most likely means a cross PS3 and PS Vita release, and seeing the Uncharted franchise's  loyalty to Sony over the years, it would make little sense to take away the games exclusivity to Sony consoles.

What's also new is that the game may not actually be released by Naughty Dog at all, and like Golden Abyss for the PS Vita, the game may be developed under Sony Bend. If this were to be
