Activision has just released a brand new set of gameplay video trailers showing off the latest DLC for Call of Duty Ghosts, which has been named 'Nemesis.'
The new Nemesis DLC pack for Call of Duty Ghosts will feature three brand new maps to the game, along with a brand new co-op mission for the Extinction game mode, and a remake of a map from a previous Call of Duty game. The Nemesis pack will be released on Xbox One and Xbox 360 this week, whilst other consoles and the PC version of Call of Duty Ghosts will get it some time next month.
As mentioned before, one of the four new Call of Duty Ghosts maps in the Nemesis DLC pack will be a re-imagining of a map previously used in an older Call of Duty Games. The remade map will be Shipment, a level that was seen in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Shipment has been known for it's small size, and it currently holds the record for the smallest map in the whole history of Call of Duty. For the other three maps, players can

Rockstar have already mentioned in the past that they have plans for new DLC content for Grand Theft Auto 5, however unlike previous GTA games, the developer has solely focused on releasing new free content for the online portion of the game since it's release.
However, despite this, Rockstar still have been quietly working out their plans for new singleplayer DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5, and thanks to new rumors, we may now know a fair amount about the new upcoming content.
Allegedly, Grand Theft Auto 5 will soon be receiving a brand new DLC pack that will include some kind of zombie related content. The rumors surrounding this report are very loosely based on some leaked code found within Grand Theft Auto 5, so we'd better take this with a very large grain of salt.
However, we've also been hearing a lot about a set of casino based DLC content from a few various sources, some of which suggest that the new DLC pack will include multiple casinos, three mini games 12 new

From what we've seen so far, Metal Gear Solid 5 is looking to be one of the most anticipated games for the new generation of consoles. So far, we haven't really received anything that exciting to keep our trigger fingers going, but Metal Gear Solid 5 might just be enough to wow those on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 enough to tempt them over to the Xbox One and PS4.
If you're undecided on whether Metal Gear Solid 5 will be a worthwhile buy or not, you may want to free up an hour or so on August 13th; Kojima has just revealed plans to live stream a whole hours worth of gameplay content from Metal Gear Solid 5, which will perhaps be the most in-game content we've ever seen of the game in one sitting.
The live stream event will also be showcased to visitors to this year's Gamescom, and will showcase a bunch of brand new gameplay mechanics, and many different areas of the game that gamers have not yet laid their eyes on.
Kojima also seems to be confident that viewers will

There is no doubt that there are a bunch of great creative minds over at BioWare, so it's always great to see new IP from the development studio, and that's exactly what's going to happen at this year's Gamescom, later in the month.
Whilst a lot of effort is still being put into the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises right now, BioWare has now grown to be a behemoth of a company, and it's given them the chance to work on many titles at once.
One such title is a brand new IP that hasn't yet been named. However, the last teaser trailer for the new IP from BioWare, named Spark, suggested that the game would have some sort of relation to strange phenomena.
One piece of the new BioWare IP puzzle suggests that the new game will be related to some kind of 'shadow realm' which could possibly be a strangely alternate version of reality, albeit with some very odd and quite creepy differences.
Honestly, we're not quite sure what the new IP from BioWare will consist of,

This week Ubisoft shared an eight minute long video at San Diego Comic-Con showing off gameplay footage of their latest title, Assassins' Creed Unity. Whilst the footage hasn't been professionally released to the public, a (rather shaky) recording of the eight minute live demo has been making rounds on the web, and despite it's rather poor quality, the game is looking pretty good.
Assassins' Creed Unity is said to take the previous games in the franchise and improve upon the core experience those games have offered by making the gameplay experience feel more streamlined and open. For example, in Assassin's Creed Unity, in some instances failing a mission will not force the player to restart, and will instead force them to find another way to amend the mistakes they made before going for the main objective that players tried to accomplish in the first mission.
Assassins' Creed Unity will also have a large focus on online co-operative content, which will be separated from the

After the recent pre-announcement slip-up for Tekken 7 earlier in the month, it looks like Bandai Namco have taken to the stage at this year's Comic-Con to do themselves justice. The developers of the latest Tekken games have just released a brand new extended trailer to officially announce Tekken, without any leaks getting in the way this time.
The new Tekken 7 trailer is just over 3 minutes in length, and depicts part of the story the franchise the game has already laid out in previous games. Whilst it may be an exciting watch for many fans of the franchise, the latest extended Tekken 7 trailer didn't really do enough to draw many people in, and it will definitely have a tough time going up against Mortal Kombat X, a game which has recently had a reveal trailer that depicts some very epic fight scenes.
Whilst we haven't seen any actual gameplay of Tekken 7 yet, we can expect the game to look absolutely incredible, thanks to the new Unreal Engine 4, which series game director

A brand new gameplay trailer has just been released for the upcoming EA Sports title, FIFA 15. Showcasing new crowds, player interactions and unique behaviour both for players and crowds, the trailer points out the 'emotion and intensity' the franchise has started to pick up on.
Whilst the new changes to crowd and player emotions isn't exactly a huge gameplay feature, it's nice to see just how far the franchise has come in terms of capturing the spirit that many fans and players experience on the real pitch.
Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi will make it to the front cover box art for FIFA 15, for many regions across the globe.
Despite showing some great advancements in crowd and player behaviour in the latest trailer for FIFA 15, EA have also stated that not all platforms will offer the same experience, which is most likely due to both hardware limitations and console exclusivity deals.
For example, only Xbox consoles will receive FIFA 15 Ultimate Legends, which

At QuakeCon this month Bethesda and Id Software finally got round to showcasing the brand new Doom game. The fourth title in the franchise, simply named DOOM, will be released for the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and the PC, and is planned to run at 60FPS at a 1080P resolution.
Around 10 minutes of gameplay footage of DOOM was shown off at QuakeCon, and within that time there was a lot to take in. It looks as if DOOM will be a very fast paced experience, offering players a great level of agility whilst holding and using weapons.
In fact, DOOM isn't just fast paced like many run n' gun first person shooters currently available; Id software seem to have taken it to the next level. Marty Stratton, the executive producer at Id Software, stated that, "Doom is an origin game, about fast, fast paced combat. It's about amazing guns and blood and gore and gibs. It's the Doom game that we want to make and what you want to play."
DOOM is shaping up to what sounds to be an incredibly

It's been a while since the remake was announced, but Oddworld New N' Tasty, a revised HD version of the 1997 PlayStation One classic Abe's Oddysee has finally been released on the PlayStation 4 this week.
Oddworld New N' Tasty has been in development for a fair amount of time now, and despite previously being rumored to be a launch window game for the PlayStation 4, it's only till now that the game has been released.
Oddworld New N' Tasty is a 2D platformer with a very dark story and background that follows the character of Abe, a slave working at a RuptureFarms meat factory. Abe ends up learning RuptureFarms plans to use Abe and his fellow slave workers as meat for the factory, and the story then follows his attempts to break himself and the other slaves free.
Whilst Oddworld New N' Tasty has only just been released for the PlayStation 4 this week, the HD remake will also make it to other consoles shortly, including the Wii U, the Xbox One, PC, and Mac.

It's great when developers release full, unedited gameplay content instead of sending out scripted CGI trailers for their upcoming games, and this is exactly what Ubisoft have done with Rainbow Six Siege by releasing a 24 minute video of the game in action.
Within the 24 minutes, two full games of hostage rescue are played out, allowing viewers to get a good understanding of the game and what sets it apart from other current FPS games.
At the start of each Hostage Rescue game in the 24 minute video, players begin with a construction phase. For the criminal team, the construction phase involves reinforcing a certain building, whilst the Rainbow Six team must use their time to view the area via remote controlled drones.
After the game starts up, you'll see some pretty interesting gameplay from the Rainbow Six team, and I think that a lot of gamers will be drawn in by this. In Rainbow Six Siege, it looks like team strategy, communication and tactics will come in much more
