Halo 4 Controller and Console

Last week it was revealed from Microsoft's site that Microsoft will be releasing a Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 Console Bundle that comes with a Halo 4 controller. Although the pre-order page has been removed, the cat's already out of the bag. Although everyone is expecting that was part of Microsoft's plan.

Either way I guess more people were actually expecting a console bundle. I mean it's HALO, Microsoft HAD to do it. Here is what you get with this bundle

- Standard retail copy of Halo 4
- One-of-a-kind custom skinned

New Left 4 Dead Sequel

Hey there zombie fans! I have some great news for you guys today. Valve has finally announced the release of their next highly anticipated DLC for Left for Dead 2, "Cold Stream". The DLC will be available for players using PC, Mac and Xbox 360 from July 24^th. So close!

This DLC will also come along side another update which will make all mutations available at all times. According to Valve "this will allow players to choose to match into games playing Taannkk!, Gib Fest, or even a user created mutation like Confogl."

There is an added bonus for Xbox 360 players as they will be getting some campaigns from the original Left for

More Halo 4 Details

Microsoft has given a slideshow presentation to retailers this past week in order to get them up to speed with Halo 4. The slides confirmed some pretty great details we had been hearing rumors about. Halo 4 has been officially confirmed to contain:

- 10 new weapons
- 2 new vehicles along with many of the favorites from the past
- New class of enemies - Prometheans
- Master Chief will be fighting against a new race unlike anyone has ever seen before
- Cortana starts to break down due to her degrading AI. Would Master Chief be able to save his long time companion?

Unfortunately the slides contained no new details about

PlayStation 4 in Development Since 2010

Last week new info emerged that hints at the fact that the Playstation 4, codenamed ORBIS, has been in development since 2010.

This speculation arose after the discovery of the LinkedIn account of a man named Attila Vass. This guy worked in Playstation for about 14 years. As expected he has worked in a number of major projects including the Playstation 2, Playstation Portable, Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita. Now, the interesting part is that in his resume he also mentions he worked with the "Next Playstation".

Considering the fact that this could not be the PS Vita (since that is listed already), there

Halo 4 Multiplayer News

New information has surfaced surrounding the much anticipated Xbox exclusive, Halo 4. To be more precise, the information is regarding a new requirement that needs to be fulfilled in order to play Halo 4's multiplayer.

It seems that Halo 4's multiplayer requires a total of 8 GB of free space for an install, either in the form of extra space in an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external flash drive. However, Microsoft highly recommends the in-built hard drive over the external as the former is supposed to provide a more "optimal experience". I am guessing the optimal experience means less lag and load times?

This basically means

New Xbox 720 Information Leaked

There has been a huge leak, a 56 page document containing info on Microsoft's 5 year plan, regarding the future Xbox 720 from within the walls of Microsoft. Although the information has not been confirmed to be authentic, Microsoft's law firm has demanded that the information be removed from the internet. Even though this cannot be used as justification of the information being real, it sure feels great to believe so.

This is what was mentioned in the leaked document:

-The Xbox 720 is going to come bundled with the Kinect Version 2.0
-It will have a Blu-Ray drive (we are all expecting as much)
-A tablet integration

Evil Controllers and The AbleGamers Foundation

If you aren't familiar with the AbleGamers foundation, you should be. The AbleGamers foundation strives to bring accessibility to all gamers. This is a goal that Adam Coe, president of Evil Controllers, shares with them. Together with the AbleGamers foundation, Evil Controllers can help make controllers that are more accessible to gamers with limited mobility.

The AbleGamers work hard to increase the accessibility to all games; they reach out to game developers and game insiders to make large industry changes. Oftentimes simple solutions can make a game that would normally be largely inaccessible to a large audience, fully accessible. One of these changes for example is the simple option

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Info

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is not exactly a great leap for the series. It is not meant to be Counter Strike 2 but a revamp of the old game. That being said, we should not sell this game short as any CS veteran would be more than happy with this game. The game will be available for PC, Xbox360, PS3 and PC players.

Valve has actually spent some time and tweaked some of the factors of the game, the most noticeable of which is the new and improved look of the game. The map layouts, loadout interface and the physics of the game have also gone through some changes.

Anyone who has ever played any of the games from the series will instantly recognize

Quantic Dream's new game, Beyond: Two Souls

From the creators of Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream, comes another PS3 exclusive - Beyond: Two Souls. This game is going to be another emotional journey that will take story telling within games to another level.

According to David Cage, Founder of Quantic Dream, Beyond would allow players to actually witness the life of a character. In the game we will get to follow the protagonist, Jodie Holmes, through 15 years of her life. We will get to see her grow, mature and become the woman she is.

The story is quite intriguing and has a lot of promise. Growing up Jodie has always felt a connection with something that doesn’t belong to her world. This entity

Watch Dogs

In my opinion, Ubisoft won this year's E3. They launched games on every possible platform and all of them looked amazing. They also had a nice little surprise for us at the end of their presentation. Ubisoft Montreal had been working on a new IP for a while which had been kept completely hidden. The game is called Watch Dogs and from the initial gameplay demo I can already tell you that this is going to be a keeper.

The game takes place in the future where everything electronic is run by a Central Operating System termed CTOS. So basically everything (subways, security cameras, traffic lights etc.) is run by the CTOS. Thanks to this, the Private Companies who control the system are nearly untouchable. Information
