There is a huge market for pre-owned games currently. It offers a way for gamers to grab games cheaper than prices for new games, and allows retailers to generate profit from circulating old stock and older games. It keeps companies like GameStop from stopping, but as the next generation of consoles leans closer, a lot of gamers and those in the gaming industry have wondered what will become of second hand games.
Microsoft revealed a bit about how second hand games will work on the new Xbox One at their launch event, and whilst they didn't go into full detail, there are bad things about the news, and slightly good things.
According to Microsoft, the new Xbox will require users

A lot of PC MMO developers have considered moving their titles to next gen consoles. We already know the popular free FPS Blacklight: Retribution will make it to PS4, and rumors have been going around about Planetside 2 hitting console as well.
This early on in the next generation of console it's hard to tell what will actually hit the console and what won't so it's refreshing to see that War Thunder, a free arcade World War 2 flight MMO by Gaijin Entertainment, will make its debut to PlayStation 4 sometime in Holiday 2013.
The game will offer a free experience similar to the PC version, although the game will have 'more intuitive controls' thanks to Sony's Dual Shock 4 controller.
"We're convinced that our cooperation with Sony will not only make the War Thunder franchise better, but it will give our fans a new level of gaming experience that will figuratively blown their mind," Said Kirill Yudintse,

Although EA has already had its hand on Battlefield websites two through to nine, It seems they've decided to 'preserve' their future a little longer and purchase 8 new domains, starting from www.battlefield13.com to www.battlefield20.com.
EA has strangely missed out on Battlefield 10-12, but I'm certain most of the discussion will be about why EA has secured such websites.
It's only been very recent that EA purchased Battlefield4.com for $9 grand, so for them to buy out all these domains now is very strange.
Perhaps EA decided to go on a spending spree, just to be safe and ensure they don't have to fork out another $80k on more websites just like they did for Battlefield.com.
Or maybe these numbers mean something else. If you count every game since Battlefield 1942 to Battlefield 4, that makes a total of 12 games. Making the 13th (possibly Battlefield 5) title

GTA fans have been in for a treat this month. Firstly, Rockstar released three new GTA 5 trailers showing off the new characters you will be able to play as in the game. Rockstar has now shown off a new screenshot, depicting the moment two of the main characters meet head to head in the game, and it doesn't look like a friendly meetup.
The new image shows Chaos crazed Michael and Gangbanger Franklin getting geared up with two assault rifles.
The image was first posted in the comments section on Rockstar's website, and was then removed by a moderator. So perhaps the image shows a little more information about GTA 5's story than Rockstar wanted to reveal at this point.
We posted earlier this week about GTA 5's new protagonists, and the roles they fill in the storyline, and the storyline is already looking interesting.
GTA 5 will be released in September latest this year for both current gen PlayStation and Xbox 360.

If you've watched the trailer already, you'll know that the next Call of Duty game, set for release this year, will be Call of Duty: Ghosts, which has been rumored to launch on November 5th this year.
A few details have been given by Activision on the single player and multiplayer aspects that will be found within COD: Ghosts.
First of all, Ghosts will take place in the future, but soldiers will still make use of current technology, and this is because of a "major plot event" unveiled in the game.
Single player will also include more destructible scenery, although the dynamics on this hasn't been released. Multiplayer will apparently involve maps that allow players to make use of things found within the game such as traps, making the maps a lot more interactive than previous COD games.
The game is also being developed on a new "next-gen" engine according to Activision, and will be playable on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and next gen Microsoft and PlayStation

If you like Super Mario or Ghostbusters, then you'll definitely feel the love gone into an instant classic on YouTube that has mashed up both of the two into a nostalgic pit of 1980's wonder.
The new Super Mario Busters 2 manages to shed light on the amazing concepts of both worlds, and somehow manages to merge them into something wonderful.
If Luigi's Mansion 3DS were to receive a follow up, the mashup by Farr is something I'd hope it to look like.
James Farr has become an internet sensation thanks to his plethora of videos on his channel that has managed to throw in some of this century's classic movies and games into a (sometimes mashed up) animated bundle of delights.
Farr has released Pac Man: The Movie, Transformer videos, and even his own mashup of Back to the Future and Doctor Who. It only makes sense that his next move was to cover the Super

EVE Developer CCP Games has announced that DUST 514 will enter full release on May 14th, opening up the game to the public and allowing anybody with a PS3 to jump in and play. The game had previously been in Beta whilst CCP tweaked parts of the game, but now that the DUST 514 release date is seen just two weeks ago, it won't be long before all PS3 players can enjoy the experience.
DUST 514 was developed to be a free to play massive multiplayer online shooter that allowed players to fight over territory and make decisions that would directly impact the gameplay of CCP's other popular game, EVE Online.
EVE Online players can also get involved with DUST 514 players by sending orbital strikes and other equipment down to a planet that PS3 players may be playing on.
If players are interested, a limited edition

Details and footage of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls has been recently shown off at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27th. Quantic Dream's director for the game, David Cage revealed details about the games overall length and average game experience for most players at the Film Festival, saying that Beyond: Two Souls will take players on average 10 hours to complete, giving it a similar completion time as David Cage's other well-known title, Heavy Rain.
The game does have multiple choices to make in the game that will affect the ending in some way, giving the player an incentive to play through the 10 hour storyline again to experience all of the possible story that Beyond: Two Souls carries.
Although the Tribeca Film Festival showed footage of Beyond: Two Souls, anyone that missed the event and is interested in watching what the game has to offer can watch the new trailer that has also been released alongside the Tribeca Film Festival reveal. The trailer shows

Every now and then a game developer will bring back all that they've made in a series and throw it together with other goodies on the side, into one big mega bundle. This is what is happening right now with Konami and the newly revealed Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection.
Although we don't know all that much about the international version yet, the Japanese version includes Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition, and the Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition. The newest games, Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Metal Gear Solid VR Missions will be included as well.
Players who purchase the Legacy Collection in Japan will also get their hands on the original MSX Metal Gear games, two interactive comic books, a Metal Gear Solid graphic novel and Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee.
Obviously, this isn't everything that Metal Gear has its name on, but it's a considerably large chunk of it, and it's all available in one package.
