Halo and its Victories
A little over ten years ago, Halo Combat Evolved landed on the Xbox 360 and helped define what we know as FPS shooters on the console today. The franchise had a very successful launch, and the popularity of the game only grew as more games were released. Halo 2 completely redefined FPS multiplayer for consoles once again thanks to Xbox Live, and since then, Halo games have received a huge amount of support, giving those staying loyal to the much beloved Xbox-exclusive series even more to enjoy.
Game sales for a console-exclusive are never going to be as impressive as multi-platform game sales, but Halo has still managed to amass quite a heavy amount of purchases:

Borderlands Gives SHiFT Keys
So the VGAs have come and gone, and many developers have been honored with awards for their games. Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox, earned in total 4 different awards at the VGAs, and as a company that started out relatively small, this is an amazing accomplishment.
Surprisingly, the biggest award Borderlands 2 took home from the VGAs was the award for the best shooter, and even with the hugely popular Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 being released this year as well, Borderlands 2 managed to grab the award, most likely due to its originality and overall unique combat scenarios.
On top of the best shooter award, Gearbox

Assassin's Creed Bug
It's rare that DLC ever causes problems, and usually if any download content does happen to have a major bug or glitch, it's usually postponed until fixed. However, every now and then players will come across a bug that has slipped past the game testers, and at times it can be totally game-breaking.
This is certainly the case for Hidden Secrets, a new download content pack available for Assassins’ Creed 3.
Players that have downloaded the new DLC are complaining that after first playing the game after installing the DLC, the game has erased nearly all of the player's progress and hard work back to 0% completion

Ubisoft Sale
Ubisoft is one of the biggest publishers out there, and they've been responsible for some of the most successful video games of this decade. Thanks to Ubisoft we've had Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins' Creed, and a whole lot more.

Far Cry 3 Map Editor Revealed
In the recent years, gaming has evolved to a stage where the players' interactions with the games they play help to shape future games and any later content for that game, and without these interactions there would definitely be a huge gap in gaming as we see it today.
Whether this is customizing your character, or upgrading your weapons, many developers put these features into the game so that players can interact with the game mechanics and make their playthrough more unique and personalize their experience to their own liking.
Ubisoft is offering players a huge amount of player interaction in Far Cry 3, and a new map editor trailer for the game shows the creative

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,
