Halo 4 Forge Mode Info
Hey there Halo fans! I am pleased to tell you (if you already didn't know) that Forge World is going to be making a comeback in Halo 4. Better still is the fact that Forge is bigger and better than ever before with lots of improvements that are really going to make a difference.
To start off, this time around this multiplayer map editor is being developed by Certain Affinity. Since these guys were the developers behind Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and the Halo Reach Map Pack, it is safe to say that they really know their stuff when it comes to Halo.
What I personally liked about their approach when developing this was that they really paid

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Info
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is not exactly a great leap for the series. It is not meant to be Counter Strike 2 but a revamp of the old game. That being said, we should not sell this game short as any CS veteran would be more than happy with this game. The game will be available for PC, Xbox360, PS3 and PC players.
Valve has actually spent some time and tweaked some of the factors of the game, the most noticeable of which is the new and improved look of the game. The map layouts, loadout interface and the physics of the game have also gone through some changes.
Anyone who has ever played any of the games from the series will instantly recognize

New Survival Horror Game
Okay, I don't know about you guys but I was a huge fan of Gorky 17 aka Odium in the US. If you guys don't know what this is, let me explain it to you.
Gorky 17 is basically a survival horror RPG which combined the charm of point and click adventure games with turn-based combat mechanics. If you are a fan of survival horror games like Resident Evil then this game is a must play for you.
Check out the gameplay footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJL5Wx--d-Q
The game had received great praise upon launch and is considered a cult-classic. Unfortunately it only remained a cult-classic due to the fact that this

More Black Ops 2 Gameplay info:
Alright! I know why you all are here so let's dive straight into it!
As always, Treyarch is really tight lipped about revealing anything about the multiplayer at this moment. They always like to tease people with the official multiplayer trailer which sadly for us, is not out yet. But, in an interview with Machinima, Mark Lamia the Studio Head at Treyarch mentioned some interesting details.
Mark mentioned that they are really building Black Ops 2 Multiplayer from the ground up. They do not plan on adding to the existing framework of Black Ops but, intend to redefine it. He mentioned that players can expect to see them to "push the boundaries of the multiplayer

See some new Black Ops 2 footage by clicking here:
http://kotaku.com/5915552/black-ops-2-blows-up-e3-and-los-angeles-in-new-gameplay-footageThis footage was released on June 4th at Microsoft's E3 2012 Press Conference and places emphasis on the varied gameplay that will be available throughout the campaign mode.
With the inclusion of 2 new vehicle weapon systems and an sniper rifle that can shoot enemies through cover there is a lot more to do than simply running down a single path and taking out enemy forces.
Black Ops 2 puts the player in a continuing timeline from Black Ops 1, but also jumps into the future allowing the developers to make interesting gameplay elements with brand new future weapons. It will be interesting to see how those future weapons will play out in competitive setting like classic Free For All over Xbox Live. A weapon that can shoot

South Korean Company Nexon to Bid on EA for Takeover
Accord to Joystiq, Nexon, the South Korean MMO company that created Maple Story is a pretty big player in the East. It's so big, it's thinking about and looking at possibilities of buying out a competitor from the West, Electronic Arts. Yes, THAT Electronic Arts. MK Business News, a South Korean newspaper, has reported that Nexon's Japanese headquarters spoke with EA about acquiring the company. However, it is unclear what the negotiations have come to. EA isn't saying anything according to all of its representatives.

FPSRussia Teases COD with an Explosive Video
While the next Call of Duty teaser site still counts down to its May 1st unveiling, Activision finds other ways to tease the next COD title. Using the gun-totting obviously-using-a-fake-Russian-accent Youtube celebrity FPSRussia (formerly named FPSKyle), they managed to show us one of the new weapons in the upcoming Call of Duty game. In his newest video, FPSRussia demonstrates a "Prototype Quadrotor," and uses the attached machine gun to shoot down

A Source from Target Shows Black Ops 2's Release Date
With so many leaks about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, you could swear that its release is no longer a rumor, but rather confirmed news. From leaks from outside sources and teasers from Activision, I think we can all agree, Black Ops 2 is coming.
Recently a source from Target emailed IGN an interesting image. An image of a Target pre-order card confirming both the title and the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The release date is confirmed as November 13th of this year. Which is odd since it's about one week after the release of Halo 4.

A Rumored Italian Box Art Cover for the Next Call of Duty Appears on Internet
Evidence from Kotaku claims that the next Call of Duty will definitely be something along the lines of Black OPs 2. First it was an Amazon listing and then some teaser poster art, and then a Gamestop teaser website. Now, it's rumored box art.
Yes, an European photo depicting the game's box art has circulated the web and it resembles the silhouetted art on the Gamestop teaser site; however, it is of a higher
