Last week we talked about the PS4 date potentially being leaked by UK chainstore Asda, and it looks like this week another popular UK chainstore, known as Tesco, has just leaked a tad too much information on the new Call of Duty title.
Although we've been unsure about what Call of Duty game will reach the market, everyone is 90% certain that a COD game will come this year, following on from their current annual scheme. This year's game should be scheduled to be under development by Infinity Ward, and the leaked box art from Tesco shows just that.
Whilst at the bottom of the box art it states Infinity Ward, the rest of it is occupied by a soldier with most of his face concealed, whilst wearing a Call of Duty-like scarf and gloves.
The title for the game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, has already made it's rounds in the gaming community, with the biggest ripple to start it all off being from a Youtuber named Drift0r, who has said he has been supplied information from a very legitimate

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

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

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,

Next Ridge Racer is F2P
It's not strange to see a free-to-play PC or mobile title, however free-to-play on the console is something you'll rarely see, especially when the game is part of a previously successful franchise. However, Namco Bandai has recently announced that Ridge Racer Driftopia, a new Ridge Racer game, will in fact be a free to play title for the PC and PlayStation 3.
The launch is currently slated for 'later in 2013,' and although the vague date means the game could be out anywhere between next month and December, the announcement focused on the choice for free to play, and a few questions have been answered about the type of free to play model found within Ridge
