Rumored for some time now, the 'Pirate DLC' many have been expecting for Borderlands 2 has been released. Following gameplay footage of a list of new PS3 trophies leaked from Eurogamer, Gearbox has now confirmed that they will be releasing their 'Pirate DLC' this month."You can sense the pirate theme across the landscape, even though there's no water," said Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford. "It's all dried up. It feels more like Tatooine than an ocean. These bandits have really embraced the pirate lifestyle, and there's the legend of a treasure. That kicks off this whole adventure that the players can go on."
The new DLC, which has been set for release on October 16th, follows the early release for the Mechromancer character just one week ago. The newest DLC will focus new gameplay on Captain Scarlett, a one eyed pirate queen. The DLC will add a new expansive desert and a bandit-filled town named Oasis.

In previous games of the Assassin's Creed series, we've been introduced to various multiplayer modes, and although they have added a few extra hours to gameplay, they weren't complete enough to offer an experience separate from the single player storyline, and this is where Assassin's Creed 3 will add something different.
The new Assassin's Creed 3, which is set to release at the end of this month, will have many of the multiplayer game modes that we've seen before. As well as players having access to most of the old multiplayer game modes, new ones will be added, such as the 2-4 player Wolf Pack mode, which puts teams of players on missions to assassinate 25 waves of A.I targets. Each round will have a set time limit that will decrease incrementally as more rounds of the game are played.
Ubisoft aren't just trying to raise the competitive spirits of those playing Assassin's Creed 3, but also want to award players with items such as character dossiers exclusive to the multiplayer

Halo 4 Gameplay Info
Well if you've come this far through the Halo series, you may be in for a surprise: The Halo 4 campaign is not for the weak hearted.
Frank O' Connor, development director of 343 Industries recently sat down at Eurogamer and played through a scene of the new Halo 4 campaign. As he played it was clear this game was going to be hard, and he was only playing it on normal difficulty.
When I played Halo Reach on Legendary for the first time, it hit me how much Bungie had managed to improve the AI of the covenant, and this was one of the main reasons it was such a challenge. In Halo 4, AI has been improved drastically, and you'll be very lucky

FIFA 13 Bugged?
It's no mystery that FIFA is one of the biggest franchises on consoles today, and with one game releasing every single year, EA sports have a lot of work cut out for them.
To be able to release the game on a strict deadline means the developers can't put more effort into smoothing out the glitches and bugs in their games, and that's probably why FIFA 13 could possibly be the most buggiest game in the series to date.
So what's so glitchy about this game you ask? Well, if you have FIFA 13 and still have to ask yourself that question, then consider yourself lucky as thousands of complaints have hit the EA forums angrily asking why their game
