Halo 4 Gameplay Info

Well if you've come this far through the Halo series, you may be in for a surprise: The Halo 4 campaign is not for the weak hearted.

Frank O' Connor, development director of 343 Industries recently sat down at Eurogamer and played through a scene of the new Halo 4 campaign. As he played it was clear this game was going to be hard, and he was only playing it on normal difficulty.

When I played Halo Reach on Legendary for the first time, it hit me how much Bungie had managed to improve the AI of the covenant, and this was one of the main reasons it was such a challenge. In Halo 4, AI has been improved drastically, and you'll be very lucky

Halo 4 Standard

Dust 514 Info

"The Biggest multiplayer FPS on the market" is not a claim to make lightly, but CCP, the developers of the popular MMO Eve, believe this is so.

The game will be the first large scale PlayStation exclusive that will not include a physical CD, making the game only available to download off of the PSN store. Dust 514 is expected for release later this year, but what will the game actually include?

The Dust 514 team has worked very hard alongside those at CCP to create a multiplayer console experience that interacts with CCP's space combat MMO. The firefights that Dust 514 players experience will help Eve players to capture territory and planets in the

Halo 4 Info

The flood have become a very iconic race in the Halo series, and from every game since launch there has been at least a small reference to the parasitic species.

It's been known for a while that we won't be seeing the flood in the Halo 4 campaign, but new gameplay reveals the ability to play as the flood creatures in the newly buffed infection game mode.

Infection starts off with a group of players fighting against a predefined number of 'infected' players. In previous games the infected usually wielded an energy sword and had different health stats depending on the game variant. In Halo 4, when a player gets killed by the infected,

Guess everyone wants to make a console these days. Well we don't know for sure if Valve is planning their very own console but recent news confirms that Valve will be getting into the whole hardware development side of the gaming world.

Rumors about Valve's intention to get into the hardware market had been flying around since March of this year. According to the rumors Valve was working along with Steam Box console. But as usual, Valve stepped in and dismissed these rumors as being false by commenting, "[the world is] a long way from Valve shipping out any sort of hardware."

The statement pretty much convinced everyone till a job listing appeared on Valve's official site for "an electronics engineer to work on platform hardware". Funny how most of the news we get nowadays are from job listings. The listing itself is pretty self explanatory and reveals quite a bit about Valve's intentions.

I quote, "Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the

When The Last Guardian was first revealed it looked as if it was going to be one of those masterpieces that you would buy a console just to play. As you can see from the following trailers it seemed epic, grand, mystifying and above all incredibly intriguing. Before even seeing anything about the game we all expected it to be along the lines of the PS2 masterpieces, Shadow of the Colossus and ICO. Check out the trailers:

TGS 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vi3srAvl1w&feature=relmfu

Yep, you read it right, it was announced in 2010. Has it been launched yet? Far from it. Just like any of those games that gamers are dying to play, The Last Guardian's launch date kept on postponing till the point that it was believed it had been cancelled altogether.

The rumor about the cancellation

It seems like everyone has been waiting forever to witness the release of the next-gen consoles. Out of the three giants Nintendo has already revealed its next-gen console (the Wii U) which is expected to hit stores somewhere near fall of this year. Microsoft and Sony on the other hand are still very quiet.

It's like an old school standoff with Sony and Microsoft keeping a very close eye one other. I bet they are also keeping a watch on Nintendo but I highly doubt either company really sees Nintendo as a threat. We all know why. Nintendo makes amazing 1^st party titles but without proper 3^rd party titles it is going to be really hard for Nintendo to catch-up to the other two.

I guess Nintendo knows this fact well and based on this they decided to launch Wii U ahead of the competition. But according to new rumors Nintendo might not have the luxury of a huge gap anymore. A few GameStop employees have recently come forth to reveal that that either one or
