A brand new expansion for Driveclub has been revealed this week, and whilst information on the expansion is very minimal, we can still make an accurate guess on exactly what we may expect from the expansion.
As the title suggests, the new upcoming Driveclub expansion is called Driveclub Bikes. The Driveclub expansion will give players the ability to drive a number of bikes, which is a class of vehicle that was not available in the original version of Driveclub.
It's expected that more details will be unveiled within the next few days at the Paris Games Week, but for now we're stuck with very little information about exactly what Driveclub Bikes will be. Whilst a new content rating for Driveclub Bikes has appeared online, it's still hard to say whether the content will be a standalone game, an expansion for Driveclub or just extra DLC.
Whilst a full standalone game is unlikely, it would be strange for a content rating to be made for a small piece of DLC. For this reason,

Last year, Bungie released a Halloween patch that added Jack O' Lantern helmets into Destiny, and this year an even bigger Halloween themed patch has been released. The new patch adds masks, a fun errand based "quest" in the tower, and plenty of other great content.
The new update for Destiny has been called Festival of the Lost, and oh boy there's a lot to do in this festival. The first thing you may notice about Destiny in the latest update is that the Tower has had a bit of a spooky makeover. To fit in with the theme, all of the NPCs at the tower are also wearing Halloween themed masks. Players can get the chance to purchase and wear these masks themselves during the Halloween event, some of which are permanent.
Last year, the Halloween Jack O' Lantern helmets had a time limit on them and acted as a consumable. This meant that a year later it's incredibly rare to see any Jack O' Lantern helmets around, but if players get to keep their helmets this year, they may be seen

Just after the Dark Souls 3 network test, From Software had some more news to share. The news was posted to the PlayStation blog, where it was revealed that the development studio will be working with Sony to release a game of the year edition of Bloodborne.
The new game of the year edition will be available both in-store and online from November 27. If you haven't yet had the chance to play Bloodborne, the new game of the year edition will give you a good chance to check it out. As you could have expected, the new edition will include the base Bloodborne game and a copy of the upcoming DLC expansion.
The DLC expansion for Bloodborne is called The Old Hunters and it includes a huge amount of new content to the game. In Sony's new blog post, The Old Hunters was described as the DLC expansion to "challenge players to explore entirely new environments, including a monolithic clock tower, filled with Bloodborne's traditional blend of risk, reward and frightening boss encounters."

Rockstar has just released a brand new trailer for GTA Online which shows off a new expansion heading to the streets of Los Santos. The new GTA Online expansion will be available for all players at no charge, but unlike previous content expansions, it will be adding some major game adjustments, especially to the way customizing player vehicles works.
The new update is called GTA Online: Lowriders and it will be released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 20th. In the update, a new customs shop will open downtown called Benny's Original Motor Works. Players will also be able to head to a new website in-game that will include a number of new customizable vehicles.
Some of the new vehicles will feature new functions that can be accessed from the player interaction menu. These functions include the ability to open up the vehicle doors, hood and trunk, switch on the engine and flash your lights.
The new Lowriders update will also add some new content to GTA Online, including

343 Industries, Mojang and 4JStudios have all teamed up together to create a themed Minecraft DLC pack for Minecraft on the Xbox One and Xbox 360. This isn't the first time we've seen themed mash up packs for Minecraft on the Xbox, and in fact it's not the first time we've seen a Halo pack either.
In the past we saw a full Minecraft Halo theme which included a Halo texture pack, Halo music track and Halo map. This time, 343 Industries has worked closely with Mojang to create a Halo 5: Guardians skin pack.
Starting on October 23, players will be able to purchase a skin pack for Minecraft that adds a number of Halo skins to the game. The Halo DLC pack will only be available on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
For those that have already purchased the previous Halo mashup pack, you'll be happy to hear that this upcoming skin DLC will be available to you for free. Everybody else can pick up both the mash-up pack and the now included skins for $4.
In total there are eight different

Halo 5: Guardians will be getting a new clan system upon launch and players can already create their own clans and add their friends. The new clan system in Halo 5 is called Spartan Companies and each company can include up to 100 players.
As well as being an opportunity for players to create a social hub for communities and friends within Halo 5, Spartan Companies can be used to bring new players together. If you visit the Spartan Companies page you will find a list of all of the clans already created and it's possible to request invitations into these companies.
A player can only be in one company at once so players will have to remain loyal to their groups. As an added incentive to try out the Spartan Companies system, when a player joins a company for the first time, they will be rewarded a REQ pack with a guaranteed cosmetic item inside.
These REQ packs can of course not be used till Halo 5 is actually available and players can only gain 1 REQ pack from Spartan

The file size for the digital version of Fallout 4 has been leaked through Microsoft's listing of the game, and I must say, you will be pleasantly surprised to hear the numbers, especially if you're currently low on hard drive space.
There's no denying that Fallout 4 will be one of the most, if not the most expansive games released this year and as a result players are already expecting a large download size. Surprisingly though, Bethesda has done a great job at keeping the file size at a minimum.
If you choose to purchase Fallout 4 digitally on the Xbox One, you'll be looking at downloading and installing 28.12GB worth of space onto your console. The PlayStation 4 numbers haven't been revealed but they are likely to be very similar to the Xbox One's number.
At 28.12GB, you shouldn't have to worry at all about installing Fallout 4 onto your hard drive. It's also important to remember that you won't have to use any storage space for the base game if you purchase the

The upcoming Bloodborne expansion that everybody has been talking about for so long has finally been unveiled and there's plenty of information about it to go along with the unveiling.
The unveiling took place at this year's Tokyo Game Show, where From Software announced the name of the expansion and what the expansion will include. From Software's Miyazaki also answered some questions about the expansion.
So, the new expansion has been named The Old Hunters, and it will be released this November for Bloodborne. The new expansion will feature three new areas, a bunch of new weapons and a new boss fight. Interestingly, one of the new weapons is the Bowblade, which will finally bring ranged combat into the world of Bloodborne.
You'll have to check out the trailer for The Old Hunters to see all of the other weapons which have been announced so far. None of the other weapons have had their names revealed yet, so it'll be exciting to learn more about them in the near future.

The new Destiny VIP rewards are now available for players to redeem in-game. Bungie previously announced which players will be rewarded with the VIP rewards and exactly what the rewards will be, but now they are finally available to Destiny's most veteran players.
As mentioned in the past, players must either have reached Light level 30 with one character or have purchased both The Dark Below and House of Wolves expansions before August 31, 2015 to be eligible for the VIP rewards.
Players will need to play The Taken King to redeem the VIP rewards as well, which means purchasing the latest $40 expansion. We wouldn't say the VIP rewards are worth purchasing The Taken King for, but if you already fit into the above criteria then the rewards are a nice addition.
Included in the Destiny VIP rewards is a unique armor shader, a sparrow and a player emblem. The Sparrow is called the S-34 Ravensteel and features a matte black color. I definitely think the Ravensteel is one of

It hasn't been that long since the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but Konami has already announced the first DLC pack for the game. The new DLC doesn't add any significant content to Metal Gear Solid V. Instead, the upcoming DLC for MGSV will simply add some basic cosmetic items which do not have any affect on the gameplay whatsoever.
The new DLC information has come straight from Konami themselves at a press event at Tokyo Games Show. Konami has mentioned that the first DLC will include a number of different outfits for Metal Gear Online, horse armor and a few other cosmetic items.
Players will also be able to equip themselves with the Stealth Suit from Metal Gear Solid 3. If you're feeling like dressing in style, you'll also be able to equip Snake with a full tuxedo. The horse armor on the other hand adds a small touch to the horses - it has not been mentioned whether the horse armor will have any effect in the game or not, besides the cosmetic changes.
