First Player Reaches Max Spartan Rank
Take your hat off to RU Deuce, a player that has managed to reach Spartan Rank 130, max out all specializations and hit the credit cap nearly every day in just a month after the game's release.
RU Deuce was lucky enough to get the game a whole week before release day on November 6th, so he already had a very large head start, but still, maxing out on a competitive FPS in such a short period of time is both impressive and shocking.
Looking back to Halo Reach, this wouldn't have been possible as a lot more time and effort had to be put into the ranking system, and it took around a year before the first player maxed out on Bungie's

Oddworld Returns
If you go back about 15 years in time, you'll be taken to a place where the concept of gaming was still quite new, and every new game was original in its own right. The PlayStation One was filled with games that widely differed between each other, and even with the limited hardware capabilities, some games had beautiful stories and a lengthy amount of gameplay available to enjoy.
Abe's Odyssey was one of those classics; the story was dark, but humorous, and the puzzles were extremely difficult to overcome, yet somewhat relaxing. Since then Oddworld have made other games, but none will ever compare to the beauty of Abe's Odyssey. And after EA acquired publishing rights of Oddworld's gaming,

343 Sends Specialization Codes
Just like they promised, 343 Industries has sent out codes that unlock all specializations in-game to players that played Halo 4 on or before November 20th. The codes were sent out via email and sent to the emails associated with each player's gamertag.
Once unlocked, the specializations still require you to reach Spartan Rank 50 before you can use them though, and if you didn't play before November 20th, or you are situated in Europe, the Middle East or Africa and didn't preorder, you won't have access to the extra specializations.
At first, 343 had a few issues sending out the emails, but Jessica Shea, community

New Details about Destiny
Since Bungie's departure from Halo back in 2010, news of what they have been working on since has been hushed up very professionally. However, an informative advertising agency has revealed a fair amount of details on their upcoming project after Bungie's permission was given to allow them to spill the beans.
Although it's not certain, it's more than likely that Bungie's new game will be named Destiny after all, and will be on retail at some point in 2014. A new document containing information and concept art has confirmed this, as well as giving us all an insight into what the game will consist of.
The first pointer to be made is Bungie's decisions to reach for a larger

Rockstar Pre-order
Pre-order bonuses have been around for a long time now and usually consist of a small incentive to give fans and other potential customers a reason to play the game on day one. Recently, many pre-order bonuses have been extra digital content available within games, such as extra cosmetic items or perks to be used whilst playing.

The offer is only available for those in North America, which is slightly unfortunate for the rest of the globe. However, if you are living in North America and haven't

Metal Gear Solid 4 25th Anniversary
Konami has recently announced an anniversary edition for Metal Gear Solid 4, celebrating the 25th birthday of the Metal Gear series, dating back to the original Metal Gear game for the MSX PC console which was released in 1987.
The 25th Anniversary edition follows on from the HD collection released last year, where Konami have redefined games solely for the series' loyal fans. However, those who were new to the series after purchasing the HD remastered games on an Xbox 360 console for the first time may be disappointed to hear that unlike the HD collection, the 25th Anniversary Edition Metal Gear Solid 4 game

New Mass Effect 3 DLC Released
Bioware is still churning out the DLC, and this time Omega - a new DLC featuring singleplayer content - has been released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Although there has been a fair amount of multiplayer content, extra singleplayer missions have rarely been added, so if you are more interested in the stories within the Mass Effect universe over the social aspects of multiplayer gameplay, the new Omega DLC will be a good addition to the game for you.
Omega adds new characters and allies and takes Commander Shephard's relationship with Aria T'Loak a little further as they team up to plot revenge on Aria's own domain,

Earlier this week a leaked document from Bungie Headquarters showed the background and concept art of their upcoming game.
The basic story deals with a futuristic human race that, after colonizing the stars has been fought back by an alien race to Earth. The only thing left is one city that is being protected by a giant alien space ship, from a different alien, hovering above that city.
"A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second moon. No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector," One of the passages in the concept art said.
