Dead Space 2 Bonus
Mass Effect was the first game to offer an incentive to playing the previous games, and playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 would reflect how characters act towards you in the following games. Dead Space isn't offering an incentive as amazing as this, however players of Dead Space 2 will receive an extra gift for having a saved file of the 2nd game on their hard drive.
If you are one to have a Dead Space 2 saved file, you will receive the Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter in the third game. The Plasma Cutter has slightly better stats than the standard starting one and has all 8 circuits unlocked right from the beginning of the game, giving players a slight advantage

Black Ops maintenance
Recently Treyarch has informed PlayStation players that they may have trouble connecting to, and staying in a game due to maintenance on the PlayStation network. It was nice for Treyarch to give notice to players, and although Treyarch gave little information on the reason for the maintenance, they wanted players to be patient and understanding of the situation.
The PlayStation network maintenance lasted most of the day, and although most PlayStation owners should be able to access most of the features, players may have difficulty getting into online play on some titles.
An official announcement by Treyarch on the matter was unexpected though, so it may

Microsoft Rewards for GTA 5
Grand Theft Auto 5 is going to be very successful. And when you look at the release of the previous game, you'll understand as well as I that there is no doubt about its upcoming success.
However, with a title as big as this, the two big console manufacturers, Microsoft and Sony, are bound to offer incentives to rope people into buying on their console instead of the other, and with the next-gen approaching, both manufacturers are probably going to try and squeeze as many pennies as possible out of the pockets of loyal gamers.
But what if you have both an Xbox 360 and PS3? If you look past the social aspects that both platforms have to offer,

Spartan Ops New Locations
343 Industries have given a few websites a preview into the next and final episodes of Spartan Ops for Halo 4. An unexpected press release was also given, and it gives details on new areas to visit in Spartan Ops.
In the previous five episodes of Spartan Ops, players have played in the Requiem sandbox, featuring many assets from both singleplayer and multiplayer maps being used more than once. From looking at the press release from 343 Industries, it's safe to say that the last five Spartan Ops missions will include a change of scenery, offering more variety in gameplay and overall appearance whilst playing.

Final Skyrim DLC?
Rumors have started to spread, and they're related to yet another DLC title release for Skyrim, a game that has now been over-packed with extra content and features. Recent activity from Zenimax, Bethesda's mother company, hints at some kind of Redguard related release.
For two years now, Zenimax has been renewing a trademark for the word 'Redguard' with the description of a "downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices" so although it's not certain that a Redguard DLC will hit in the future, a lot of Skyrim fans believe this to be the case, and following on from Bethesda's December 2012 statement, which said they had 'more stuff' on the way for all players in 2013, it seems to make a lot of sense.
Other possibilities could be that the Redguard related content could be for a new game ready for next-gen consoles, or even something tied to Elder Scrolls Online, an upcoming MMO developed by Zenimax software.

Black Ops DLC
If you've made your way to GameStop this month, you may have noticed a poster advertisement for the first DLC pack for Black Ops 2. Although there has been no official announcement from the developers of the game, it's clear that new DLC is coming this month.
It's a little strange that GameStop have been able to advertise this information before an official announcement, but it's likely that they have partnered with Treyarch to allow themselves the honor of showcasing the games content before anyone else.
The new downloadable content title is named Revolution, and if the information on the poster is true, it will be released on January the 29th.
According to the poster, the new DLC pack will include four brand new multiplayer maps, and a new Zombies map. On the poster, the four multiplayer maps have been named Hydro, Downhill, Grind and Mirage, whilst the Zombie map has been named Die Riese. Currently there is no certainty

Dead Space 3
It's not long till Dead Space 3 will be available at retail stores across the globe, however details on the game are still quite sparse. Thanks to a few sources we have got a few extra bits of info that give us insight into what the game will include.
The Entertainment Software Board (ESRB) has rated the game as 'M for Mature' and while this is not one bit surprising, the overall summary that ESRB has given, gives us a little idea on what will be included in the game, including combat scenes and dialogues.
The following summary puts in detail the reason for Dead Space 3's mature rating, which has been given for blood, gore, intense violence and strong language.
"Rating summary: This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer battling a mysterious alien threat. Players use futuristic weapons (e.g., guns that fire explosives, spikes, incendiary shots) to kill various alien creatures and

Dead or Alive DLC
Since Dead or Alive 5's release, there have been constant DLC pack releases for the title. Unfortunately for some, most of these packs consist of nothing other than extra costumes for the characters within the game. If you do like being able to have more choice available in your virtual DoA wardrobe, then the new Santa pack 2 may appeal to you.
The new Santa pack actually comes in three different collections so that you can choose the characters you'd want most to wear the outfit, and not have to worry about spending the whole cost to get the costume available for all characters.
The new costume seems pretty generic for all characters, and whilst the male version varies slightly from the female version, both costumes remain the same regardless of the character wearing it.
The Christmas packs are a little confusing, so if you want to find a pack for a specific character, or find the best value to get hold of all costumes, here's

Street Fighter Update
Street Fighter X Tekken's community manager has taken to twitter to hype up the upcoming v2013 patch, giving details on content we may not have expected.
Community manager David Hinds has said that the new changes from the patch could make SFxT feel like a completely new game.
Although not many details have been given on what to expect from the v2013 patch, Hinds has given a bit of information on what sounds like a huge change in the combat mechanics of SFxT
"It's not just a rebalance, the mind games and pace of the game feels a lot different. Not only are the characters capable of new things, but also the players, enabling new strategies and faster paced matches."
Hinds seems to be directly quoting the combat system above, so although Street Fighter X Tekken may not look like a new game after x2013, it's as if Capcom wanted to make it feel like a new game, and most new in-game features will probably reflect this.

Nuketown Zombies Map Pack Available!
If you already own, or are considering purchasing the Black Ops 2 season pass, you may want to check out the bonus map Treyarch and Activision are giving with the pass.
Previously only available to Collector's Edition owners, the Zombie Nuketown map will now be available for all Season Pass holders as well. The map is located within the Nuketown area which has been seen before in Black Ops 1. The level has been made for co-op play, and puts you in control of a group of well-equipped scientists wearing radioactive suits. The trailer for the map also shows destroyed buildings and access
