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

Another Edition of Assasin's Creed 3
There are A LOT of editions coming out for Assassin's Creed 3 as Ubisoft prepares to rake in the cash. We had already gone through all the Tier 1 Collector's Editions, Special Edition and PS3 bundles but it seems there was one more that we overlooked. Can't blame us considering the amount of versions Ubisoft has been crunching out.
The Ubiworkshop Edition of Assassin's Creed 3 is ONLY available for pre-order and is supposed to give owners a better understanding of the franchise. The Ubiworkshop Edition was initially priced at $109.99 with a discounted price of $99.99 for those who ordered before

Sleeping Dogs Reception
As you may already know, Sleeping Dogs is an open world cop drama inspired by classic Hollywood and Asian cinema action style thrillers is set to launch August 14th. Based on recent events, Activision (the original publisher) who lost faith in the game and sold the rights to the game to Square Enix might be REALLY regretting their decision.
Given the fact that the game is very much like GTA and has traits very much like other games it was no surprise when Activision had written it off as a failure in the beginning. But United Front Games have really pulled through and have created a really solid and fun experience that seems

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

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

Halo 4 Surface Info
If you guys remember, Microsoft introduced their all new SmartGlass technology at E3 a while back. This technology basically allows you to use any portable device (smartphones or tablets) to get an additional screen, much like the new Wii U gamepad. Just like the Wii U, this added screen is essentially going to provide you with other additional gameplay options.
Well soon after E3 Microsoft announced their new line of Windows 8 tablets, Surface. The tablets themselves are impressive and keeping SmartGlass in the frame it didn't take long for people to start wondering how exactly was Microsoft going to implement this tech for both current and future console games.

Halo 4 Controller
Hey there guys. I guess you guys already read the previous article about the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console Bundle. Since then it has been pulled down from the Microsoft Store so we haven't been able to get a better look at it. But, today I bring to you the close up image of the new Halo 4 UNSC Controller:

Looks cool right? As you can see, the blue led that is supposed to be integrated instead of the green can be seen from this picture. The d-pad is also supposed to be the twist d-pad. Also notice how the controller is translucent.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Medal of Honor is posing some serious competition against Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 this year. The Frostbite 2 engine makes that game stand out from previous shooters. It looks absolutely gorgeous and seems Danger Close are really trying to achieve new heights with this game.
Check out the campaign gameplay demo:

PlayStation 4 Specs
With high hopes of Playstation 4 coming out within the next year (best case scenario), we decide to take a look at all info about PS4 made available since April of this year. We shall try our best to summarize all info available on the rumored PS4, codenamed Orbis.
Well first off the bat is the fact that this time around there would be an advanced piracy blocking system. We all knew they were really going to increase the security of next gen systems. Additionally the reuse of games will also be blocked. This would supposedly be achieved via a download from the Playstaion Network that would lock the Blu-Ray to a specific
