The top down shooter, Halo: Spartan Assault was first released on Windows Phone, but it looks as if the game will now slowly make it's way over to Microsoft consoles as well. A new announcement by Microsoft has revealed that the game will be available on the Xbox One by Christmas Eve, and will be running at 60fps and in 1080P, which really isn't anything special, considering that the game can be run on a smartphone.

The game will be available on Xbox One for $15, however if you already own the Windows Phone copy (which costs $7) you'll only have to pay $5 for the Xbox One console version.

So, if you are planning to purchase the Xbox One version, it makes sense to buy the Windows Phone version first to save yourself a couple bucks.

The new Xbox One version will also include some new content such as a

So far, the Last of Us has looked like a promising game, a very promising game.

Over the past week or two we've had scores coming in from various professional sources, and so far reviews have been stellar.

EDGE Magazine has recently given their score as well, rating Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us a solid 10 out of 10, making it the 15^th game to ever be scored a full 10 from EDGE.

OPM UK Magazine also gave Naughty Dog a 10/10 for The Last of Us, stating that the game is "A work of art in which amazing sights and sounds fuel an emotionally draining, constantly compelling end of days adventure. This is Naughty Dog pushing the PS3 to its limit. Over to your PS4."

With Tomb Raider, Bioshock: Infinite and now the Last of Us, it's certainly been a successful year from some of our favorite games and developers, and we can only hope the same will continue through the year till the release of GTA V, a game that is almost guaranteed to score highly in reviews.

Dead or Alive Streaming

Earlier this year, Treyarch showed the world a new innovative feature for Black Ops 2, a video recording tool built in-game that could upload video content straight to YouTube via your console. It seems Koei Tecmo has taken a hint and have now released details on their new video uploader tool to be released with Dead or Alive's version 1.03 patch.

A preview by game director Yohei Shimbori was uploaded to Tecmo's official YouTube channel, showing the new feature in action. The video quality was not the best, but for a feature that uploads a decently sized video for free to your account, it's not surprising.

Another thing to note is that the new feature only allows YouTube uploading via the PS3, however both the PS3 and Xbox 360 can make use of the uploaded via Facebook.

For professional and hobbyist gamers who like to record their gameplay and upload to the internet, this new tool is nothing special, especially due to resolution

Ghost Recon Movie

We all know that Ubisoft has become one of the biggest and most multi-talented successful developers and publisher of this generation, bringing us games like Splinter Cell, Assassins' Creed, and of course Ghost Recon.

The big games company is now planning to move their assets into Hollywood, with plans of producing a Ghost Recon movie. This follows on from the news of a Splinter Cell and Assassins' Creed movie release as well.

LA Times had recently reported that Jean-Julien Baronnet has been creating a pitch for Ghost Recon, hoping to get some attention within the media industry, and pull in a reputable Hollywood production company to help promote the title.

There aren't any details on how real the Ghost Recon movie is, or what the actual plotline for it could be, but judging by the video game franchise, it'll include a lot of action scenes and a lot of highly geared up future soldiers.

Video game movies have never really

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.

Halo 4 MLG

If you're into the competitive side of First person shooters, whether for the social aspect, or for more serious reasons, you'll be happy to know that 343 have finally released the official Halo 4 MLG settings.

The settings are only V1 though, so all is subject to change, and change is definitely expected, especially when Halo: Reach had 8 different versions until it was defined perfectly, and Halo 4 has brought all new physics and gameplay mechanics back into the Halo Universe, so this time round it may take even more tweaking than before.

However, the base settings for V1 include a set structure, and it'll be interesting to see how the community adapts to it. The primary weapon on V1 is surprisingly the BR, taking the DMR completely out of the picture for now. There have been a lot of discussion over which weapon is best, and although there really isn't any clear picture, choosing the BR is a nice initiative and hopefully it'll stick.

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 29^th.

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

New Abilities Halo 4

Halo modding prodigy nowise10 has managed to find some interesting things locked inside the Halo 4 game disc, including two armor abilities that never made it into the full release game.

A video by Halo Council has been put up on Youtube showing the new armor abilities in action. The first ability, teleport, works similarly to thruster pack does currently. However, you can teleport from one position to another without being in danger of getting damaged by other players and the distance seems a lot larger compared to the thruster pack jump distance.

The second armor ability is named hacker and it can in essence stop other players from using their armor abilities. In the video the player demonstrates good use of the hacker ability by stopping a player from using a jet pack while he's in mid-air, as well as disabling most of the other abilities too.

It's unknown why these armor abilities weren't put into the game physically, however

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

How do they stack up:
Dead or Alive 5 vs Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Dead or Alive 5 and TTT2 are both great games, and both the DOA and Tekken franchises have been going on for a long time now, so when it comes to comparing the two, it's hard to say one is better than the other. Both games have different play styles, which means both may be as equally great in their own ways, but you may find yourself leaning towards one game more than the other for various reasons, so I'll try to round up a few comparisons to help you out.

Both games include incredible graphics, and stunning arena visuals, but the fact that DOA's stages
