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

Rockstar Games has suggested to its fans via their official website that three new trailers will soon be revealed, giving players more details on the three playable characters in the new GTA V, currently known as Trevor, Franklin, and Michael.
GTA V will be the first game to include multiple protagonists to play as in the series, according to Rockstar, who first revealed the details about the three characters earlier last year. The details also stated that in some cases, players will be able to swap back and forth between the characters when they are involved within the same mission.
All three characters will have different skills and abilities, and I can imagine that the overall gameplay experience for all three characters will feel distinctly different from the other two, so it'll be interesting to see what these new trailers show us.
Previously, two trailers for GTA V have been released, but no real gameplay has been shown. The trailers scheduled for April 30th

After months of rumors, speculation and trickled out information about the game, Injustice: Gods among Us is now available in the US, Europe, and the UK, as Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment has now announced the UK launch of the DC super hero based game.
For those that don't know, Injustice: Gods among Us is a super hero based game that fits into the fighting game genre, intertwined into a brand new story created by the award winning NetherRealm Studios, in collaboration with DC Entertainment and Justin Gray and Kimmy Palmiotti, of which both are successful comic book writers.
Players will be able to play as many different characters in the DC universe and test out the powers, gadgetry, and other unique abilities of famous villains and heroes such as the Joker, Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, and so on.
This is certainly a good step for the fighting game genre as we've seen too many rehashed Tekken and Street Fighter games, and whilst these

Although we already know that Mad Studios revealed a few months back that Project CARS has been slated for a slightly unexpected 2014 release, the racing game developer has now revealed more information about the release date, and some of those looking forward to the game may be a little disappointed, as although many have expected the release to be very early 2014, it turns out it will be even later than that.
On Slightly Mad Studio's forum, a moderator has posted to confirm that Project CARS is currently slated for a quarter 2 2014 release, which means at the earliest, the Project CARS game will reach retail in April. The late release date for Project CARS could possibly mean that the game game may make it onto next generation consoles on top of current gen consoles like it was originally planned to be.
If you're not satisfied with the huge delay in Project CARS, you can check out a video by a YouTube user named 'ADRIAN1esp' on Youtube. The video shows the YouTube user's

CVG, a popular gaming news website has recently shown off a Batman Arkham Origins video-game stand that has been sent into their office. At first glance, there's nothing that intriguing to be taken in from the stand, however, the dark colored cardboard cutout does give us a little information about the villains that could make an appearance in the new game. At the bottom of the cutout near the game title and logo, there are plenty of familiar faces in a crowd of recognizable Batman villains.
Although it's only been officially confirmed that Deathstroke, The Penguin and Black Mask will make it into Arkham Origins, the promotional cutout clearly shows recognizable faces in the picture, such as the Joker, Bane, and Scarecrow.
Previously information has been given about the Black Masks' interaction with Batman in the game, stating that in the game, Black Mask puts out a hit on Batman's head, forcing Batman to fight it off against eight deadly assassins.
Does that mean that

More Details on AC4
Ubisoft have tried their luck with yet another Assassins' Creed title, and although true fans are growing thin, there's no doubt that Assassins' Creed 4 will see good sales. Despite the game being talked about a fair amount in the industry, details on the game are quite sparse, and the strange pirate theme hasn't been discussed by Ubisoft much. We can gather a little information from Ubisoft though, and the developer has started giving more info on the title through interviews and press releases.
It turns out that there will be a total of three major locations in Assassins' Creed 4, with each one fitting into the Caribbean environment that Ubisoft has chosen for the game for its

Dark Souls 2 Will be Hard
When the director of Dark Souls 2, Yui Tanimura, mentioned that Dark Souls 2 was going to be 'more accessible' than the previous game, many fans across the globe got agitated, taking Tanimura's words as a death sentence to the hardcore difficulty found within the first Dark Souls game. However, Yui Tanimura has just addressed the topic with some reassuring news to those who are looking for a challenge in Dark Souls 2.
Tanimura has said in an interview with VideoGamer.com, "What we meant by 'making it more accessible' was that we want to streamline away all of the tediousness, I suppose. We want to cut away all the fat and deliver a

Lost Planet 3 Delayed
Although Capcom originally planned for Lost Planet 3 to hit retail shelves this June, it has since been delayed and pushed even further back to August 27th, despite thousands of gamers pre-ordering the title.
The pushed back date was first swamped by other news by Capcom, and it's only now that Capcom have brought it to light, stating simply that "The release date for Lost Planet 3 has moved for business reasons."
This is not only poor marketing on Capcom's behalf, but also very punishing to fans that have had to already put up with their poor mistakes that have pushed back development on Lost Planet 3 and other

Classic Mode Included in Thief
Some could say that games have been oversimplified over the years, and developers have taken the realism out of games by adding arcade-like features and blocky user interfaces, however, Eidos has now announced a new mode after Thief fans voiced their concerns on the issue, and they want to make sure that players of the new Thief game will have a chance to play the game how it would have been done many years ago, whilst the option to play with updated interfaces and mission dynamics to better fit today's mainstream appeal is also available from the start as well.
Whilst previous Thief games have been made under different studios,
