Next Uncharted Info
Thanks to the Australian Classification Board, we may have a bit of insight into what the next Uncharted game will be.
The new game is titled Uncharted: Fight for Fortune and according to the leaked information it will be a multi-platform game, although this most likely means a cross PS3 and PS Vita release, and seeing the Uncharted franchise's loyalty to Sony over the years, it would make little sense to take away the games exclusivity to Sony consoles.
What's also new is that the game may not actually be released by Naughty Dog at all, and like Golden Abyss for the PS Vita, the game may be developed under Sony Bend. If this were to be

Halo 4 Info
One of the biggest problems with the Halo: Reach matchmaking was credit farming, and Bungie took it quite seriously. In Halo 4, 343 have revised the new experience system to make sure no one gets too far ahead, which is reasonable seeing as experience and Spartan ranks will now unlock players new equipment which are beneficial to playing better in the game.
Unlike Halo Reach, Halo 4 has had a pretty sturdy experience restriction straight into the game at launch, and this can limit the amount of experience players can earn a day whilst playing Spartan Ops and War games. Jessica Shea, community manager for Halo 4, wrote a message on Waypoint to explain the system

Halo 4 Sales Records
So by now I expect a lot of you have settled in with the new gameplay within Halo 4, and are slowly rising up the Spartan Ranks. But when I say a lot of you, it may be a lot more than you might think.
343 Industries have set quite a record in games sales according to VGChartz Estimates. VGChartz have given details about Halo 4's day one sales, and the numbers are quite astonishing. Halo 4 has managed to sell 3.1 million copies in total, which is the most any console exclusive has ever sold within day one sales. 60% of those sales, or 1.9 million units were

Borderlands 2 DLC Info
The president for Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford, has now confirmed that the next Borderlands 2 downloadable content will be available to players by the end of 2012. For those becoming bored of the main game and the 'Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty' DLC, you won't need to wait much longer for the new content, because it is very probable that we will see it within a month's time, or at least by the end of December.
Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, a leak by the PlayStation trophy system has revealed that the new DLC will be called Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, and will have three new gold trophies for PS3 players.

Tempe, AZ. (2012) - Next Month Evil Controllers is participating in Game Hour. Game Hour takes place on December 7th and promotes friends and family to play video games together and to conserve energy.
Game Hour is a yearly event in which the world is asked to set aside their individual wants to play a single game together, in a single room, while the electricity is turned off in the rest of the house.

Only 34,770,000 kWh are required to power 37,100 homes for an entire month.

New Black Ops 2 Weapon Customization
One of the greatest things about Call of Duty's multiplayer has always been the amount of weapon customization, and with Modern Warfare 2, players could finally start to make their experience unique to their own gameplay style. In Black Ops 2, players will be able to customize weapons with attachments, and add perks to loadouts just like other games, but this time round Treyarch have added a lot of extra bits and pieces of customization that allow players to make themselves stand out.
In Black Ops 2 there will be a huge range of weapon camos, ranging from standard military camo to bright pink cherry blossom skinned weapons. Every weapon in the multiplayer can be skinned with a custom camo, including both secondary and primary weapons.
Here's an image of the camo select screen sent to MP1st by one of their readers:

Borderlands 2 Exploit
If you're playing Borderlands 2 with people you don't know on Xbox Live, you may want to be careful. Hackers have found a way into Borderlands 2 code and have come across a 'hardcore mode' left in the code within the game. If you die with hardcore mode activated, your character data would be completely wiped from the game. Hardcore mode creates extra tension by making gameplay much more risky, forcing players to think twice about their actions in-game. However, the exploit in code has opened up possibilities for other players without the hardcore mode to lose their progress when playing with others who have the code activated.

Halo 4 Info
One of the most frustrating things to happen in matchmaking in previous Halo games is when the rest of your team decides to quit. In a game like big team battle, it may not seem like much of a deal, but after one or two people quit, usually a lot of others will follow, and it makes it boring and extremely difficult to ever stand a chance against the enemy team, especially in smaller games.
343 are hoping to fix this by allowing players to join other games in progress. This will make matchmaking times significantly shorter whilst making sure no one has an unfair advantage against the opposing team.
There have also been a few other changes

Dead Space 3 Info
Recent gameplay footage of Dead Space 3 has been released by Visceral Games, the team behind the Dead Space series, and it's looking to be the most exhilarating gameplay footage yet. The developers have managed to capture amazing scenes within a dark abandoned spaceship, relying on the weak light emitting from Isaac's suit and the inconsistent eerie background noises to create an atmosphere that's bound to get you on the edge of your seat.
The realistic body animations and interactions within the hazardous ship innards make it feel more than a video game, putting you right into an experience equivalent to a bid-budget horror movie. For the
