The story takes place before Kratos became the God of War and as you can see from the demo, being mortal is not stopping him from being the hard-as-nails character we have come to

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

Limited Edition Halo 4
The Limited Edition for Halo 4 has been revealed for pre-order and is priced at $99.99. There will be no Legendary Edition for Halo 4 which in my opinion makes the purchase decision much simpler. Either we decide to get the standard retail game or the Limited Edition with the added bonuses.
Let's take a look at what has been confirmed to be included in the Limited Edition.
- War Games Map Packs - the competitive multiplayer modes in Halo 4 will be termed War Games. Owning the Limited Edition will give players access to all three map packs that will be released in the future, as soon as they are made

Last week during E3, Microsoft showcased their newest tech to compete with Nintendo's Wii U and Sony's PS3 and PS Vita interconnectivity.
SmartGlass was revealed and is an app for phones and tablet devices that turns them into a secondary screen for your Xbox 360. While game developers may be working on interesting ways to incorporate this new technology it also turns your tablet or phone into an excellent media companion. Microsoft provided an example of how it could be used on non-gaming experiences. The example they used was using Smartglass on your tablet while you enjoy an episode of Game of Thrones. The app could identify which episode you're watching and could sync with your particular position in the show to give you additional information on characters and the physical location the characters are in within the universe.
In addition to being an additional display in our favorite games it can also function as a multiple purpose controller to allow you to use your Xbox

"I don't care that you help saved humanity from extinction, Mr. Fenix, it'll still be about two quid to Milton Keynes"
So in Milton Keynes, England a student had to pay a full bus fare for Marcus Fenix. I'm dead serious. Liam Sheridan, a huge Gears of War fan, was bringing home a life-size cardboard display of Marcus Fenix. Unfortunately when he reached the bus station (or coach station as our UK followers would say), Liam's montly bus pass wouldn't cover for his cardboard cutout as the

Gears of War 3 promises to continue the bloody, action-filled combat of the two previous titles. The games have produced some of the goriest fighting sequences in the gaming universe, and where there is gore, foul language is sure to follow. Fortunately for parents, and young gamers, Gears of War 3 features a mature content filter that allows you to eliminate gore and foul language. Each option is controlled independently, which gives parents the option to filter whatever content the feel is inappropriate for their children.
As far as foul language is concerned, Gears of War 3 has its moments of vulgarity, but with Locust hordes on the offensive, who can blame the characters for using salty phrases. When

Hype for the upcoming Battlefield 3 release gets an added boost today, as the Physical Warfare Pack Trailer has been posted across the Internet. The newest Battlefield 3 promotional release highlights some of the games newest weapon classes, and demonstrates their devastating impact. EA is trying to demonstrate the intensive thought that went into making the game, and with recent increases in competition between EA and Activision this trailer is meant to display the best attributes of Battlefield 3.
Three devastating weapons are highlighted by the video, and I must admit that the game play and weapon classes are more than impressive; they are downright amazing. The type 88 LMG is introduced by a drop shot accompanied by at least a quad spray, and the weapon features a high rate of fire

Final Fantasy XIII-2
This past week was exciting! For those of you who dont know… A three day gaming festival called PAX was held this past weekend. Sounds awesome, right? I for one was extremely excited to see that there was a special appearance at PAX where they showed a new Final Fantasy Xlll-2 trailer!
The trailer featured a few battle scenes and a bit of the storyline here and there. It focused mainly on Serah who didnt really seem to make it into the frontline of all the action in FF Xlll-2, despite being a main character. Now it seems like she will take a more important role in the story.
