Dozens of players are reporting that they have just been banned from playing Call of Duty Ghosts in what looks to be the biggest ban wave the game has ever seen.

When connecting to servers for the first time after loading the game, banned players will be notified that they have been permanently banned due to a violation in the security and enforcement policy.

The ban wave seems to have mainly targeted both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 3, but the main reason for why players have been banned seems to be unclear. Whether or not it's related to cheating or using unfair exploits has not yet been revealed by Activision, but it seems some players are stating they have played legitimately and have been caught up in the whole commotion.

Some players seem to believe that they have unknowingly entered a hacked lobby and then backed out to avoid getting caught up with cheaters. Unfortunately this is something that players cannot avoid, as they are directed to the lobbies

If you're wondering where the hell DriveClub has been, don't worry, it's been delayed for good reason. Sony has revealed that the developers currently working on DriveClub have gone back to the drawing board, in an attempt to ensure that the game is of it's best quality upon it's release.

Despite being planned as a launch title game, it has already been delayed once to early 2014, but seeing as we're already close to Q2 2014, it looks as if DriveClub has been delayed once more.

So far, no release date has been given, but previous rumors did suggest that the game would be ready for September. It's a shame to have to wait so long for such an anticipated title, but it really is for the best. So many AAA games are being released before they are fully ready, and it ruins the overall experience of the game.

If the developers that are working on DriveClub need extra time to refine the title to make sure the game plays and feels smooth, then so be it. We as gamers should learn

EA has just rolled out a new update for FIFA 14 on the Xbox One that has been designed to fix a few issues and bugs currently present in the game.

In a statement on their forums, EA has said that "Our commitment to improve FIFA 14 is ongoing, and regular feedback from our fans helps us prioritize and identify future improvements."

"Thanks for your feedback on Twitter, Facebook and the EA forums. We'll continue to provide you with information through those channels as and when it becomes available."

The bugs and issues that the new update has fixed includes the problem where players are capable of avoiding losing games against other players by disconnecting from FIFA Ultimate Team matches. This fix was already applied to the PlayStation 4 version in February, so it's good to finally see the update hit the Xbox One.

In the same update, EA revealed that their next title, 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil will launch exclusively to Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 15th. The reasoning

Drive Club has been one of the few games that has really got everybody's attention, and the recent delay in development has lead a few gamers to being fidgety and impatient. However, if a new rumored leak is anything to go by, we may now know exactly when Drive Club will be released, and it isn't that far away at all.

According to a user on PSNation, the DriveClub twitter account posted a tweet, only to have it removed seconds later. The tweet had information about the release date for Drive Club, but so far there's no proof to say what the user saw was actually real, or just a forged image.

The tweet in question read 'Mark your calendars 9.4.14' #DRIVECLUB,' which would translate to either September 4th, 2014, or April 9th, 2014. Seeing as the Drive Club developers are from Europe, it may make more sense to be in the European format, which would mean April 9th, 2014.

It could be possible that this image was the real deal, as this kind of stuff does happen every now

The Elder Scrolls Online is looking to be quite an interesting title. Despite having the typical game infrastructure as an MMO, a lot of the gameplay mechanics look very similar to the Elder Scrolls games we have all come to love, and I expect that a lot of players will be interested in delving into the Elder Scrolls Online upon it’s launch.

The only problem is that the game unfortunately comes with a subscription fee - this means that to continuously play the game, you will need to pay per month, and this is already after the original cost of the game.

This is a payment route that the traditional MMO would usually choose, however recent changes in the industry suggest that most new subscription based MMOs usually fall and become pushed to F2P by the end of their first year. World of Warcraft is now the only MMO that is still successful and is still using the same subscription based payment model.

The subscription price for The Elder Scrolls Online is $14.99 per month,

Microsoft is pretty well known for slandering it's competition, and recently they've really tried hard to make their competitors look like insignificant wastes of time, despite being a fair way behind their competitors in the industries they are working in.

In the gaming industry, I have a feeling we can expect a lot of PlayStation slandering campaigns to go ahead over the next few years, but that's okay, because Sony usually has a witty thing or two to say back.

The most recent of these campaigns offers those who want an Xbox One a path easier on their wallets. To be precise, Microsoft has offered to take your PlayStation 3 off of your hands, in return for a $100 discount card on a brand spanking new Xbox One.

Microsoft may have admitted that the Xbox One is priced higher than the PS4, and this looks like their first measure to try and make their price a little closer to the

PlanetSide 2 is an open world futuristic military shooter that banks on player progression over killstreaks and player skill. It’s a pretty fun team-based game that gets three factions constantly fighting over land, and the greatest thing about it is that it's completely free to play.

The game originally launched on PC, but after making deals with Sony, plans were made to release the game onto the PlayStation 4. However, since their official confirmation of the game being made available for the PS4 some time in the future, we haven't really heard much about the game.

Recently though, it has been announced that PlanetSide 2 will be making it's way to PlayStation 4 this year, and it should be playable by the public before the end of the first half of 2014, if not a few months beforehand.

I personally haven't had much time inside the world of PlanetSide 2, but from hearing other's opinions and reviews, it definitely looks like a very interesting game you could bury yourself

The MMO industry is a funny one - it's filled with games that from the eyes of someone unfamiliar with the genre will look almost identical to each other. The term "World of Warcraft clone" is given to pretty much every traditional MMO out there, and this lack of originality may be finally bringing the chances of succeeding with a new MMO in the typical environment to a halt.

That's why a lot of new MMO's are starting to take new paths - for example, last year's MMO third person shooter Defiance teamed up with the SyFy channel to create an ever-changing live action program that would evolve over time depending on the actions of those within the MMO game.

It was a nice concept, but despite being traditionally different than other MMOs and even being available on consoles, the game didn't really receive that much traction.

The Elder Scrolls Online seems to be taking the same cross-platform approach as Defiance, and although the Elder Scrolls series has a huge devoted

In the distant past of 2012, Sony purchased the Gaikai streaming service, and it looks like they have finally released plans to put the $380 million purchase to good use. At CES 2014 this year, a consumer electronics trade show, Sony showed and revealed exactly what they have done with the new technology they've purchased, and it could certainly be a game changer to the games industry.

Andy House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment revealed that PlayStation Now is a new video game streaming service that will allow users to stream and play video games on a wide range of different devices.

By using cloud hosting services, users will be able to stream video games and play them on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, among other devices such as tablets and smartphones.

The new PlayStation Now service will not be a part of the main PS Plus subscription package, and users will have to use a new payment method to make use of PlayStation Now.

Players

From the moment, PlayStation 4 was revealed it was obvious that Sony had learned from all their past mistakes made with the PlayStation 3. Although obvious, this observation was supported by what SCE CEO Andrew House had to say.

In a recent interview with MCV UK, House admitted the rough ride Sony went through during the early release of the PS3. But they didn't just try to deal with the problems, the learned from them. The valuable feedback that they received from the community is what they used:

"Anyone can point out how those learnings have translated into the decisions we've made around PS4 -- selection of architecture, emphasis on
