XBOX 360

As the release date for Battlefield 4 draws closer, we are hearing more and more about the different versions and DLC the game will include.

For those in the UK, GAME has recently struck a deal with EA and DICE to release a Battlefield 4 exclusive deluxe edition that comes with a bunch of downloadable content.

The deluxe edition will cost 64.99 (Pounds) for both PS3 and Xbox 360, and will include the previously announced China Rising DLC pack, among other things.

The extra bonuses will include currently unannounced in-game content, Battlefield 4, and a Battlefield 4 steel book cover.

The DLC will also be available for purchase for those who order the standard version. Currently there is no information on whether a US alternative to the deluxe edition will make it to retail.

Battlefield 4 will make it to Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 29^th, with an Xbox One and PS4 release following afterwards.

Although some details are still under wraps about the Xbox One, Microsoft did share a few details about the achievement system, saying that the system has had some fundamental changes to the way it works and how players interact with their achievements.

Unlike with the Xbox 360, achievements won't be tied down to games, and whilst there are likely to be game-specific achievements, it sounds as if you'll be able to progress with achievements across multiple games.

It could be possible that some games can contribute to achievements like '1,000 total headshots' but I can imagine most of these achievements to be things like '50 total hours played' or '25 games played.'

Players will also be able to upload and share footage of their games and achievement progress, similarly to the PlayStation 4's new share feature that was revealed earlier this year.

Currently details are a bit sparse, but it's likely we'll hear more about the new dynamic achievement system soon.

What better way to show off an upcoming incredible game by sticking a highlight like Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) in the trailer?

Giancarlo is seen reading from a story whilst the scene cuts off to an animated scene including Guardians who are involved in an epic battle.

The Guardians are soldiers that have been trained to protect Earth. Bungie recently revealed that the Guardians are playable and have different classes, including a tough Titan character, a weaker Hunter, and another Warlock class. Like many MMOs, each class has their own benefits and disadvantages. Bungie has made sure to make their classes easy to understand by changing the stature of each class.

For example, the Titan is a class that has a top heavy build, and this shows that this is a tough, but slow character. In the middle, the Hunter is a class that has a fairly even build throughout, and at the bottom, the Warlock has a bottom heavy build, showing the speed and vulnerabilities the class has.

Rockstar Games has recently given details on special editions for the new upcoming GTA V, and special edition games are now available for pre-order through various retailers.

There will be a total of two different special edition versions of GTA V, one costing $80, whilst the other will cost $150.

Any players who pre-order either of the special editions will receive access to the pre-order only Atomic Blim aircraft. The $80 Special Edition will come with a Steel-book case, a blueprint map of GTA V, a special agility boost that can regenerate Micheal, Franklin, and Trevor's agility bar 25% faster, more stunt plane missions dotted around the game world, bonus tattoos and outfits, and a Pistol .50, a Bullpup shotgun and a melee hammer.

The Collector's Edition will include everything the Special Edition has, as well as a Rockstar themed Security Deposit Bag, a "New Era 9FIFTY" Snapback, custom playable characters for Grand Theft Auto Online, unique '30s

There is a huge market for pre-owned games currently. It offers a way for gamers to grab games cheaper than prices for new games, and allows retailers to generate profit from circulating old stock and older games. It keeps companies like GameStop from stopping, but as the next generation of consoles leans closer, a lot of gamers and those in the gaming industry have wondered what will become of second hand games.

Microsoft revealed a bit about how second hand games will work on the new Xbox One at their launch event, and whilst they didn't go into full detail, there are bad things about the news, and slightly good things.

According to Microsoft, the new Xbox will require users

After Gamers have shouted their concerns on the growing problem that is game DLC, the fact of the matter is that the problem has not been resolved, and in fact, it's slowly getting worse and worse.

Metro Last Light has finally made its way to release, despite problems with publishers in its early stages of development, but there is a concern about how the game has been released. The Ranger Mode, the way Last Light's developers recommend you to play the game, doesn't actually come boxed with the game at all. In fact, to get the recommended game mode, you will have to pay.

The developers for Metro Last Light have stated on Twitter that the reason behind this is that thanks to Microsoft's Policies they cannot release the DLC for free, and have had to go with the cheapest possible cost for the Ranger Mode. However, this will still cost players $5 worth of Microsoft Points, and what's really disappointing is that to 'be fair' with all gamers in general, the DLC now will also cost

If you didn't know already, May 15^th marks a very special day for the Gran Turismo series, and Sony are going to giving some kind of announcement to celebrate it.

The 15^th May marks the 15^th anniversary of the Gran Turismo series and although Sony will probably use this time to go over their achievements with the franchise, they've also said in press invitations that they want to discuss what the series will bring for the future. The event will take place at the Silverstone Circuit in the UK, and Kazunori Yamauchi will make some interesting announcements about the future of the brand.

The official statement from Sony is as follows:

"The event will be a celebration of all that Gran Turismo has come to represent to a community of millions all over the world, and will involve many of the car manufacturers who have been part of that incredible 15 year journey. At the event, Kazunori Yamauchi will also be making some exciting announcements

Despite the action FPS Walking Dead Survival Instinct being a terrible game thanks to its unpolished and lore breaking gameplay, the other Walking Dead by TellTale games has seen a lot of success, and it's now reaching out to the rest of the world.

The Walking Dead video game by Telltale games has received a lot of praise and many awards for its story-driven video game, and until now, was only available to those in the UK via a digital download.

However TellTale games have announced this week that the Walking Dead video game is now available for physical purchase from UK retailers for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC.

The game was originally a digital-only ordeal, but it's overwhelming success has landed the developer enough profit to send out physical copies across the globe. The new retail version will also include subtitles, allowing non-English players to experience the game fully.

It was previously announced by EA that access to the Battlefield 4 beta was available to anybody with a Battlefield 3 premium subscription. However, a few details on the Beta, and particularly how to access it, weren't specified. So EA has now given a few more details to clarify how the system works.

The Battlefield official Twitter account has given a reply to a question asked by a fan, who was worried that he did not have a key for the Battlefield 4 Beta and wouldn't be able to gain access.

The reply from Battlefield says that "You won't be receiving a code or beta access until the beta has been released! Don't worry,"

If you are a Battlefield 3 premium subscriber then you'll probably receive an email from DICE or EA closer to the Beta with more information on how to get access.

Battlefield 4 is set for release later in 2013 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Are you excited for the new Battlefield?

Bethesda has recently announced the new Wolfenstein: The New Order, a FPS game following in the series that has been slated for a late 2013 release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and next-gen consoles.

Players will play as B.J. Blazkowicz, the war hero well known to the series, who has set out to launch an "impossible counter offensive" against the Nazi powers whom have taken control of the world.

The game is set in 1960 and takes place in Europe, after the Nazis have won World War 2. Bethesda has said that players will be able to use "super weapons" and other utilities that the Nazi's used in Wolfenstein to take over the world.

A trailer was released along with the announcement and shows the innards of a huge war machine and then scrolls out to show multiple machines that look capable of stomping a stomping a tank to pieces.

The game is being developed by Machine Games and published by Bethesda, although the previous two games were developed by Gray Matter
