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

Warfighter to Compete with Black Ops 2
It seems every year now we gamers get to witness a clash between FPS superstars. Last year it was Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3 and this year it is Black Ops 2 vs Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Both these games are direct sequels to their respective predecessors and both of them show great promise.
Since 2003 Call of Duty has been the reigning champ with little or no competition. Even though there are a lot of gamers annoyed by the COD franchise now because of the similar gameplay and old engine, they still continue to break sales records every year. It's no wonder the

Battlefield 4 News!
Hey there gamers! Last week the whole gaming community was taken by complete surprise by the news that Battlefield 4 might be in development. This news was leaked from a promotional banner for Medal of Honor Warfighter which listed that as a bonus BF4 Beta would be accessible to those who pre-order MoH Warfighter.Even though the news must have been exciting to fans there was no telling whether it was real or not. Fortunately for us, EA has confirmed with Gamespot that the BF4 is very much in the works and the Beta version would be available sometime in the Fall of 2013. I wonder if it means the game will be available by holiday

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:

In an interview with Famitsu Mr. Motomu Toriyama, the director of Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, commented - "The Final Fantasy XIII-2 Lightning download content had an ending that left a feeling - mystery and hope. The day when the meaning of this will come to light is not too far."
As some of you might already know, at the end of FF XIII-2 players were greeted with a "to be continued" screen. Pretty much everyone guessed that this referred to FFXIII-3 but in actuality it was a DLC. However, the afore mentioned Lightning DLC (which was also the last piece of DLC) actually left players with a lot more questions than answers.
So this comment from Mr. Toriyama is most likely hinting towards FF-XIII-3. But no one is certain still; is it another installment, another DLC or is it Versus XIII that is finally going to get revealed? I really hope it is the latter!
Maybe we will get to hear more about this on the upcoming 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy. The celebration

Gaikai Cloud Service on a Sony Console
Sony has confirmed its plans to acquire the cloud gaming service Gaikai for a lump sum of $380 million. Why you wonder? Andrew House, President of Sony Computer Entertainment, shed a bit more light on the matter.
Mr. House mentioned that Sony is currently aiming to create a new cloud service which will allow users to experience a wide variety of content "instantly" on the go from pretty much any internet connected devices; the content would range from HD movies and videos to hard core 3D games.
There were a lot of rumors going about this deal all the way to E3 this year where sources were claiming that Sony was trying to significantly improve

PlayStation 4 in Development Since 2010
Last week new info emerged that hints at the fact that the Playstation 4, codenamed ORBIS, has been in development since 2010.
This speculation arose after the discovery of the LinkedIn account of a man named Attila Vass. This guy worked in Playstation for about 14 years. As expected he has worked in a number of major projects including the Playstation 2, Playstation Portable, Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita. Now, the interesting part is that in his resume he also mentions he worked with the "Next Playstation".
Considering the fact that this could not be the PS Vita (since that is listed already), there
