Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Maps

With the reveal of Block Ops 2's multiplayer at GamesCom there is just TOO MUCH info available on everything. I think Treyarch is planning on blowing away everybody with all the details surrounding the multiplayer. One post is not nearly enough to cover it all but we shall take a look at some of the more prominent info they have made available.

First thing we are going to take a look at is the Emblem Editor which is making a comeback from the first Black Ops. If you guys remember Emblem Editor allowed players to create their very own custom emblems using layers of clip-art graphics which could be modified in a million ways (color, size, angle

Black Ops 2 Multiplayer Info

GameStop is joining in on the fun and will be throwing their first ever expo this year. The GameStop Expo will be taking place on the 29^th of August in San Antonio, Texas. Those who are lucky enough to be around San Antonio around that time, I urge you guys to try and get to it.

A lot of big publishers are going to be there including Ubisoft, Activision, Electronic Arts and Sony. You will get to try out Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist at the Ubisoft booth. You can get hands-on experience with the new Skylanders Giants products at the Activision booth.

Few games EA will be showcasing

Assassin's Creed 3 Story Info

In an unfortunate event for Ubisoft and fortunately for us, the story mode behind the Assassin's Creed 3 multiplayer was leaked. The leak happened from GameTrailers who uploaded the multiplayer trailer ahead of time.

As always it did not take long for them to rectify the error and they have since pulled it down. Seems they were not fast enough as some had actually been able to download the trailer off. Now there is a cat and mouse game going on between the uploaders and Ubisoft who are trying to ban all of the trailers. If you are lucky you can check out the trailer in the link below:

Assasin's Creed 3 Gameplay Info:

New Assassin's Creed 3 gameplay demo was revealed a few weeks back and a lot of new stuff was shown in that. The demo highlighted gameplay mechanics particularly related to the city environment unlike the previous demo which showed the gameplay in the wild Frontiers.

Players will get to experience two HUGE city locations in AC3 - one being New York and the other being Boston. Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director of AC3, presented the demo of the gamplay in the city of Boston. In this article we will sum up all the new details that were shown and be sure to check the demo out for yourselves (link given below).

Limited Edition Sleeping Dogs Bundle

Sleeping Dogs is set to launch on the 14^th of August in the US and on the 17^th of August in the UK. In our previous article we got to see some of the pre-order bonuses that were available to the gamers in US and today we shall be looking at what our UK gamer brethren shall be receiving.

It seems the UK gamers are getting a bit of an better treatment since anyone who is going to pre-order the game in UK is going to instantly be getting the Limited Edition of the game at no extra charge. The Limited Edition is priced at £36.99 at Amazon UK, the exact same price as the normal

Sleeping Dogs Pre-Order Bonuses

A few pre-order bonuses for United Front Games' Sleeping Dogs have surfaced. The game is set to release on August 14^th but like any major release Square Enix has decided to throw a few extras along for the faithful few who you decide to buy it before launch. Currently there seems to be two packs which are retailer specific.

If you purchase from Amazon you will get the "Martial Arts" pack which includes:

Exclusive Bonus Mission - Shaolin Showdown
Exclusive Bonus Outfit - Shaolin Warrior Outfit which gives greater striking damage
Bonus Triad XP points

Assassin's Creed 3 DLC

Downloadable content has become a huge thing over the past few years and now pretty much every game is expected to have some form of DLC within a few months of its release. Many games actually have DLC available on the day of the games' release! Like most gamers, I am not too happy with this considering the fact that the devs could have just added that content to the game itself.

Well there is no way of avoiding it now as DLC is just as lucrative as the actual game (if not more) these days and why wouldn't publisher want to take advantage of their game's release. This time around Ubisoft knows that we are dying to get

Sleeping Dogs Info

Over the years we have seen an increased involvement of celebrities within the gaming industry. But the best way they are involved with the industry is not via gimmicky PR stunts and endorsements but by actually contributing to the games themselves.

Keeping motion capture aside, the major way these guys contribute is via voice acting which if done properly, really gives games another level of authenticity and allows gamers to connect to the story and the characters. This is why games like the Uncharted series are so great, because the voice acting and dialogue is just superb.

United Front Games have been saying that

Madden NFL 13 - Key Features

EA has been solidly backing up the fact that they really improved on the previous iteration and that Madden NFL 13 is going to be the best game of the whole franchise. They are not only making such claims but also layering out justifications of why they think that is the case.

They have listed out several "Key Features" of Madden NFL 13 in their official website that I thought I might highlight for you guys. Check them out and decide on yourselves whether you think these features mean anything significant to you guys.

I am not a huge fan myself but I occasionally enjoy having a competitive match with a friend

Limited Edition Halo 4

A few weeks back a Limited Edition Console Bundle for Halo 4 was seen on the official Microsoft Store website. As soon it was noticed it was put down again for reasons unknown. We guessed that sooner or later the console bundle will be officially announced but we are happy to say it was sooner than later.

343 Industries have confirmed the Limited Edition Console Bundle and this is what it will entail:

- Custom designed Xbox 360 Console featuring a blue led light
- Two custom designed controllers also containing blue led lights
- Standard copy of Halo 4
- A standard black Xbox 360 wired headset
