GTA fans have been in for a treat this month. Firstly, Rockstar released three new GTA 5 trailers showing off the new characters you will be able to play as in the game. Rockstar has now shown off a new screenshot, depicting the moment two of the main characters meet head to head in the game, and it doesn't look like a friendly meetup.
The new image shows Chaos crazed Michael and Gangbanger Franklin getting geared up with two assault rifles.
The image was first posted in the comments section on Rockstar's website, and was then removed by a moderator. So perhaps the image shows a little more information about GTA 5's story than Rockstar wanted to reveal at this point.
We posted earlier this week about GTA 5's new protagonists, and the roles they fill in the storyline, and the storyline is already looking interesting.
GTA 5 will be released in September latest this year for both current gen PlayStation and Xbox 360.

If you've watched the trailer already, you'll know that the next Call of Duty game, set for release this year, will be Call of Duty: Ghosts, which has been rumored to launch on November 5th this year.
A few details have been given by Activision on the single player and multiplayer aspects that will be found within COD: Ghosts.
First of all, Ghosts will take place in the future, but soldiers will still make use of current technology, and this is because of a "major plot event" unveiled in the game.
Single player will also include more destructible scenery, although the dynamics on this hasn't been released. Multiplayer will apparently involve maps that allow players to make use of things found within the game such as traps, making the maps a lot more interactive than previous COD games.
The game is also being developed on a new "next-gen" engine according to Activision, and will be playable on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and next gen Microsoft and PlayStation

An innocent looking photo of Borderlands 2 and Gearbox's PR man Steve Gibson taking a nap on a couch has revealed something that may get Borderlands 2 fans excited. Ironically, behind the peaceful looking image of the PR worker is a Borderlands 2 cardboard cutout with the words "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep" on it.
This is the biggest leak you could get, as it comes right from the man whose job it is to make sure that content is shown to the public at the best time at the best time possible. Was this clever marketing ploy, or a silly mistake?
It's more than likely that the latter is the truth of the story, as after the picture was uploaded to twitter, it was taken back down again. Luckily, other sources managed to get it out to the rest of the internet before it disappeared.
Gearbox has since decided to reveal the details on the new DLC because of the leak, and has let everyone know that the game is set for release on June 25th and will cost $10 for

We've heard bits of info on Batman Arkham Origins here and there, but so far we haven't seen any in-game 'evidence' of the game. No screen shots and no videos have previously been shown. That is till now though, as Warner Brother's has just released some images on the upcoming title, and they are good enough to convince us that the third Arkham game may be the best one yet.
While we've discussed the strange combination of enemies found within Arkham Origins, there's no denying that the new screenshots really show how amazing the characters look. Villains like Deathstroke, Black Mask, and the slightly slimmer version of Penguin have been redesigned a little to better reflect the dark atmosphere in Arkham Origins and they fit right in. Of course, Batman is looking just as good as ever.
Are you looking forward to Arkham Origins? The game is releasing on October 25th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and the PC.

We've already talked about Rockstar's reveal on GTA 5's multi-protagonist story line, and have also talked about missions that involve two or more of the three main characters where players may switch between each character to get different benefits. Rockstar has now revealed three new trailers to show the three characters and their unique traits.
We can learn from the trailers that the first character, Michael, is a man who is going through his midlife crisis with his own family, but has also been brought into an action packed life of chaos and crime. He's pushed himself so far into the chaos that he's found himself addicted to it, and despite his huge fortune, he says he’s miserable and I’m sure his story will follow his choices between chaos or his family.
The second trailer shows Franklin, a character that has become trapped in gang violence and crime. His story will focus around cop chases, helicopters and the street life we've come to know from many popular Hollywood

After Capcom reported a loss in profit from their development and publishing team last year, Capcom has made a few 'business decisions' that will affect their current games and perhaps end development for some titles scheduled for release.
Capcom has blamed these decisions on "changes in the industry," and a "decline in quality of titles outsources to overseas developers."
These new business changes will mean that some titles currently being developed by overseas developers will now cease to exist, and Capcom will start throwing more DLC into their games to try and make up for their loss.
When you look at it in most ways it looks like a bad decision by Capcom, as games are now going to be flooded with even more unneeded DLC packs for costumes and non-game affecting content for their games, and even if they do manage to release some decent content that adds new playability to their games, I can't see how they can improve their profit as they've already created a bad

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

Every now and then a game developer will bring back all that they've made in a series and throw it together with other goodies on the side, into one big mega bundle. This is what is happening right now with Konami and the newly revealed Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection.
Although we don't know all that much about the international version yet, the Japanese version includes Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition, and the Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition. The newest games, Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Metal Gear Solid VR Missions will be included as well.
Players who purchase the Legacy Collection in Japan will also get their hands on the original MSX Metal Gear games, two interactive comic books, a Metal Gear Solid graphic novel and Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee.
Obviously, this isn't everything that Metal Gear has its name on, but it's a considerably large chunk of it, and it's all available in one package.

Product listings for the Skyrim Legendary package have occasionally been spotted on unknown retailers from across the world, but since we haven't seen any product listings from more reputable retailers, it's been hard to believe the rumors of the Skyrim Legendary edition actually being a real thing. However, Bethesda on their bethblog has just recently announced that yes, the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition is a real thing, and it will include a lot of the features that Bethesda has been working on since the original version's release.
The Elder Scrolls Skyrim Legendary Editions will cost $60 for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, and will get you the full Skyrim game, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and the Dragonborn DLC packs, as well as every added feature from patches and other extra features that Skyrim has also added such as more player housing features.
