Hitman Info

With the frequent sequels of the mainstream franchises like Call of Duty and Halo, other games developers may have a very small window to shine through. This isn't stopping Sqaure Enix though, and they're going to put all their worth into advertising and media outlets to create a following that could be a worthy competitor to the big developers this year like 343 and Activision.

The developers of Hitman Absolution believe that their game will be the last big game of the year, which is a big claim to make when being released so close to games like Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2.

Square Enix are concentrating on creating a huge advertising

COD Elite Info

Back in 2011, Call of Duty Elite was exposed to the world. To some it was an expensive package with pointless gimmicks, but to others it meant more content for their games and more tools to make the most out of their gameplay.

For $50 a year, premium Elite members could get access to extra features such as clan leveling and early access to DLC which of course was downloadable for free after the subscription fee.

And now only a year after its release, Activision have decided to shut down the premium features of Elite and open it up for free to everyone that purchases a copy of Black Ops 2.

Rumored for some time now, the 'Pirate DLC' many have been expecting for Borderlands 2 has been released. Following gameplay footage of a list of new PS3 trophies leaked from Eurogamer, Gearbox has now confirmed that they will be releasing their 'Pirate DLC' this month.

"You can sense the pirate theme across the landscape, even though there's no water," said Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford. "It's all dried up. It feels more like Tatooine than an ocean. These bandits have really embraced the pirate lifestyle, and there's the legend of a treasure. That kicks off this whole adventure that the players can go on."

The new DLC, which has been set for release on October 16^th, follows the early release for the Mechromancer character just one week ago.

In previous games of the Assassin's Creed series, we've been introduced to various multiplayer modes, and although they have added a few extra hours to gameplay, they weren't complete enough to offer an experience separate from the single player storyline, and this is where Assassin's Creed 3 will add something different.

The new Assassin's Creed 3, which is set to release at the end of this month, will have many of the multiplayer game modes that we've seen before. As well as players having access to most of the old multiplayer game modes, new ones will be added, such as the 2-4 player Wolf Pack mode, which puts teams of players on missions to assassinate 25 waves of A.I targets. Each round will have a set time limit that will decrease incrementally as more rounds of the game are played.

Ubisoft aren't just trying to raise the competitive spirits of those playing Assassin's Creed 3, but also want to award players with items such as character dossiers exclusive to the multiplayer
