Assassin's Creed 3 DLC
Downloadable content has become a huge thing over the past few years and now pretty much every game is expected to have some form of DLC within a few months of its release. Many games actually have DLC available on the day of the games' release! Like most gamers, I am not too happy with this considering the fact that the devs could have just added that content to the game itself.
Well there is no way of avoiding it now as DLC is just as lucrative as the actual game (if not more) these days and why wouldn't publisher want to take advantage of their game's release. This time around Ubisoft knows that we are dying to get

Halo 4 Controller
Hey there guys. I guess you guys already read the previous article about the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console Bundle. Since then it has been pulled down from the Microsoft Store so we haven't been able to get a better look at it. But, today I bring to you the close up image of the new Halo 4 UNSC Controller:

Sleeping Dogs Info
When it started out this game was called True Crime: Hong Kong and was being published by Activision. However after a certain point in development Activision decided to scrap the whole project based on the fact that the game would not be as profitable in comparison to the amount of cash required for its production.
Luckily Square Enix came to the rescue and bought off the rights to the game. Although they did not get the rights to the name and hence Sleeping Dogs was born. I would say it was a smart choice from Square Enix as the game has turned out to be one of the highly anticipated games of this year. The game is being developed by United

Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Medal of Honor is posing some serious competition against Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 this year. The Frostbite 2 engine makes that game stand out from previous shooters. It looks absolutely gorgeous and seems Danger Close are really trying to achieve new heights with this game.
Check out the campaign gameplay demo:

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.

-It will have a Blu-Ray drive (we are all expecting as much)
-A tablet integration -
