After a successful launch on PC and current gen consoles worldwide, DICE has announced four new maps that will be available in their first upcoming Battlefield 4 DLC pack, which has been named Second Assault.
All four of the maps available in the BF4 Second Assault DLC will be redesigned versions of Battlefield 3 player favorites, with changes to graphics and appearance, thanks to the new Frostbite 3 engine.
The four maps have been confirmed to be Operation Firestorm, Operation Metro, Caspian Border and Gulf of Oman.
We'd already heard rumors of such a DLC pack being made available shortly after the launch of Battlefield 4, but it has now been confirmed by both DICE and Microsoft in an official streamed Xbox Live event.
As well as the graphical enhancements made to the four Second Assault maps, DICE has revealed that the maps will be "enhanced to include new multiplayer features from Battlefield 4."
The new features will most likely be some kind of Levolution

It has been confirmed by Rockstar that the first GTA Online title update will arrive this week, along with the first stimulus package containing $250,000 for all players that have had to deal with the GTA Online launch problems on the first week.
The 1.05 patch should be out sometime this week, and will fix some issues with character save problems, loss of data, reputation level, and other in-game personal belongings like cash and personal vehicles.
Because of all of the trouble players have had to deal with since the launch of the online portion of the game, Rockstar has previously revealed that they will be gifting $500k in-game money to all players that play the game within the first month of release.
To stop the influx of money from completely ruining the in-game economy and stock trading systems, Rockstar has decided to split the $500k gift into two $250k stimulus packages.
The first Stimulus package was meant to be gifted to players in the first week of

It has been revealed that Ubisoft will be developing extra DLC content for two of their most anticipated games and that the content will be a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 4.
Both Watch Dogs and Assassins' Creed IV: Black Flag will have DLC released on the PlayStation 4 before the Xbox One, forcing users to either purchase a PlayStation 4 to get the content early or wait it out for longer to receive the same content on the Xbox One.
Despite Sony not having made an official statement on this matter, a new Sony video showcasing both Assassins' Creed and Watch Dogs has suggested that the timed exclusive DLC content will be available on the PlayStation 4 six months before the Xbox One.
This information was found within the small print of the video, but even with the internet now aware

Rockstar has previously teased about the upcoming free DLC pack to GTA Online, but they have now confirmed an actual release date for the extra content.
Rockstar has stated that the Beach Bum DLC pack will be downloadable for free in November. Rockstar also mentioned that the DLC will include "all-new beach themed vehicles and new weaponry that you'll be able to use in both GTA Online and Story Mode".
On top of this, the Beach Bum DLC pack will add new customization options such as new tattoos and hairstyles, brand new jobs and missions including new gang attacks, survivals, deathmatches and races.
Later this autumn, we'll also be given access to the first part of the creator tools Rockstar have explained before the release of GTA Online. This will mean that before the end of the year, we will be able to create and play our own death matches and race jobs online with other players.
Once an event is created, players will be able to like or dislike it just like

Despite not being released that long ago, Warner Bros. has unveiled the new Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition this week.
The Ultimate Edition will include all of the current available DLC, along with a copy of the original game.
The Ultimate Edition will also have a wider release than the original version, and will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. The release dates have been set for November 12 in North America and November 19 in Europe.
The extra content will include previously added characters such as Batgirl, General Zod, Zatanna, and Martian Manhunter.
There isn't any information on any improvements for the PlayStation 4 version, and it seems as if Warner Bros. have not taken the opportunity to release it for Xbox One.
The PS Vita version will be a slightly downgraded version to the console version, however the development studio behind the handheld port, Armature, is putting a lot of effort

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Last of Us is getting a free multiplayer mode. Yes, that's right, a free multiplayer mode.
Who would have thought that a developer could make a great game and then keep developing free content for it afterwards? Once again we've seen that not only are Sony exclusives great games, but they are made by great developers who care about making great games more than they care about making great bank.
The new multiplayer mode is a 4 v 4 game named interrogation. In interrogation, players will team up to fight other players for five interrogations by taking it from the opposing team steathily or by brute force and will then open the other teams lockbox once all 5 interrogations are received.
Like previous multiplayer game modes in the Last of Us, it takes both skill and good teamwork to successfully beat the other team, and it's great that Naughty Dog have managed to develop game modes that offer compelling game play objectives.

The multiplayer on Ryse Son of Rome will have a microtransaction system that will allow players to purchase boosts that help to gain more gear. Since gaming has began, the microtransaction system that allows players to buy benefits to their game with real cash has mainly stuck to free to play titles, usually on the PC.
Slowly microtransactions have seeped into other games and now games backed by publishers like Dead Space 3 also include microtransactions.
Personally I think the whole 'pay to receive more than everybody else' system is something that needs to go away, certainly when players have already paid full price to play the game. I hope that the microtransaction trend will die out, although publishers seem keen to push us to reach for our wallets in many ways possible including pre-planned DLC packages, season passes and now microtransactions.
In Ryse Son of Rome players will spend gold on armor to make their character more effective in multiplayer mode. Players
