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.

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

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

Violent Video Games
Vice President Joe Biden and his task force will meet with video game representatives and publishers about violent video games, Reuters reports.
Biden and his task force has held meetings with many gun advocate groups, victims of gun violence and gun owners this week.
The task force along with Biden will use this information to give a decision about a piece of legislation banning assault rifles and the role of violent video games and movies has to do with tragedies like the Newtown, Connecticut incident.
Biden will give a decision on what to do later this month in Congress.
Do you think violent video games result in these tragedies?

Sony may show PS4 to Publishers
There's no doubt about it; the next generation is coming. When and where though is a subject that little know about. Sony however have planned a two-day event following the annual 'Destination PlayStation,' a conference held by PlayStation's US arm for third party publishers and a few retailers that could potentially sell upcoming products. The annual event has been known in the past to reveal big new products behind Sony's PlayStation range behind closed doors.
This event happens to be just a few weeks before E3, an event where Sony may or may not reveal details on their latest console.
Although this year's Destination PlayStation may focus on other products such as the Vita,

New Doom
It happened before with the current generation: a classic arcade shooter was remade and redefined for the Xbox, and it could happen again. Doom 3 didn't gain as much success as expected though, particularly for the reason that the arcade shooter style of the game has now become a rather 'niche' genre. However, that hasn't stopped many getting excited for what could possibly turn out to be the next in the series.
There's two causes for the rumors to spread about Doom 4, one of which was located on Lead Programmer of ID Software, Brian Hill's LinkedIn profile stated that he was 'the lead behind Doom 4,' giving fans a huge hint that the fourth installment is coming, however it was unknown for what platform, and when.
Recently, Brian Hill took to his Twitter to send out a tweet that Doom fans had also picked apart as something regarding development for the fourth Doom game.
"Currently home taking care of a new baby girl. When I get back, I'll

MMO Shooter
MMOs are slowly inching their way towards the console market, and although games such as Dust 514 are far from traditional MMOs like World of Warcraft, it shows that the social aspects and chilled competitive nature behind the genre appeal to a large audience.
Like Dust 514, Defiance is a FPS shooter with RPG elements thrown into a huge world where players can play with and against each other.
Players can sign up to the first Beta event over at the developers' website, although positions are limited so it's more than possible that many players will miss out this time round.
Also, the first Beta event is only available to PC players, however the game is making its way to PS3 and Xbox 360 as well, but

Dark Souls 2 info revealed
EDGE has dished out a huge amount of information on Dark Souls 2 after its surprising reveal at the VGAs.
Currently the game is around 25% complete, but there's still a lot of information to be picked up this early into development. Graphics-wise, Dark Souls 2 hopes to be as impressive as next-gen titles like Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313. The game won't be in Lordran this time round, but instead in a new area, with a similar size to the first game, although the area will be a lot denser, with more areas of interest.
There will be a lot of work going into the action elements of the game, according to Tomoyo

Next Gen Xbox Info
Next gen consoles are coming, there's no doubt about it. When though, is another question. The Wii U has managed to steal the show this year, similarly to the original Wii's release, but what we’re really waiting for is word of the big boys' new consoles. Both Sony and Microsoft have sent out dev kits of their new consoles, although word of what they contain and what each product consists of has been a closely kept secret.
Little to no news has emerged regarding the PlayStation 4 as of now; however, there has been a fair amount of speculation regarding the Xbox 720.
First off, is the name of the console; at first the new console was believed
