Need for Speed: Most Wanted
On October 26th, EA released a launch trailer to its new racing game, Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Since Criterion have taken over the wheel, things have changed for Need for Speed in quite a few ways, and the new Most Wanted game will focus around a large open world similar to Burnout Paradise, giving players the freedom to explore the game as they please.
The trailer features a hot action-packed pursuit through a busy city involving a convoy of racers and a convoy of police vehicles following closely behind, as both teams battle for the road. The new trailer doesn't give much away about the

Borderlands 2 Custom Halloween Gear
To celebrate Halloween, Gearbox, developers of the Borderlands series, are giving out SHiFT codes for Borderlands 2 which will give players cool new Halloween skins and heads for each of the classes.
The special SHiFT codes are only usable for a limited time only, and will need to be entered in the extras menu from the title screen. All five classes have codes for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and the codes have an infinite use which means you can use them even if others have used them before you.
The costumes follow a rather consistent style with each character, based on a bumble bee, the new Halloween

Grand Theft Auto V Info

No one is quite sure what the issue will tell us about the game, but Gameinformer has let everyone know that the GTA 5 section will consist

You would have thought that after all the leaked footage and campaign gameplay of Halo 4 there would have been enough reports to fully reveal Halo 4 in its naked form, but somehow it seems that 343 and Microsoft have managed to keep some secrets behind closed doors.
The picture above shows some kind of Promethean weapon or enemy capable of inflicting a considerate amount of damage to the chief and his companions, and it has a shape that we haven't seen in official previews of the game. The new image was revealed by IGN, and has created a ripple of interest throughout different websites and pages on the internet.
343 and Microsoft have released a fair amount of information on the rather complex species and their ranking positions within the main four Promethean groups; the four different Knights, three Crawler variations, and a Watcher species, but all of these are loosely based on a humanoid shape and the concept in the image is some sort of strange orb or space weapon.

Rumor Mill: Mass Effect 4
The Commander Shepard story has finished, but that doesn't mean the Mass Effect universe has to die. It's almost impossible not to appreciate the work BioWare has put into their universe and the lore and origins of all the species and characters within the game. The current trilogy was a great success, and it'd be a shame to see the universe disappear without any other windows into the huge world.
BioWare feel the same way too, and they're throwing a few ideas around to help brew up a great concept that could fit into the hugely expansive universe, and to them, the end of the Shepard trilogy could be the start

Skyrim DLC: Dragonborn
Following from the Hearthfire and Dawnguard download content packs, the new Dragonborn DLC has been rumored. Although there isn't anything official to go by, Bethesda has been leaving small trails of evidence similarly to previous DLC that hints at the new Dragonborn content.
Players have read through lines of new code released with a new system update for PC, and have come across a few lines of code perhaps hinting to the new DLC.
The code hints to new craftable gear, going by the names of Bonemold, Chitin, Stalhrim and Nordic, of which some will be recognized from Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.

Hitman Info
With the frequent sequels of the mainstream franchises like Call of Duty and Halo, other games developers may have a very small window to shine through. This isn't stopping Sqaure Enix though, and they're going to put all their worth into advertising and media outlets to create a following that could be a worthy competitor to the big developers this year like 343 and Activision.
The developers of Hitman Absolution believe that their game will be the last big game of the year, which is a big claim to make when being released so close to games like Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
Square Enix are concentrating on creating a huge advertising

Console Price Drop
Following the new and reasonably priced super ultra slim PS3, Microsoft and Nintendo have both taken their turns to revise their pricing to better close the gap between them and Sony.
It's clear that the three console suppliers still believe that the current gen consoles still have a healthy life span remaining, and even with Nintendo's new Wii U releasing later this year, they're still focusing on the original Wii, and with a new price of $129, $20 less than its current price tag, it's likely many bargain hunting Christmas shoppers will be focusing on it too. The newly priced Wii will be in black and will include Wii
