Battlefield up for Pre-order
Many were expecting a next-gen release for Battlefield 4, so for DICE to suddenly jump into action with gameplay footage and pre-order information so early in the year, it certainly was an interesting surprise for a lot of us.
The game has recently been confirmed for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and following on from that, Amazon has uploaded a pre-order page for the fourth game in the series.
A digital dog tag bonus will be rewarded to those who pre-order from Amazon, and a similar offer will be available to those who pre-order from GameStop. However, pre-orders from GameStop will also get players a premium expansion pack for the game.

This game has had a rough start. From the beginning when the idea of a reboot was presented, both Ninja Theory (developers) and Capcom were sent to the firing range. The fans really didn't like the whole idea of a reboot and especially made a fuss over how the new Dante looked.
I was glad to see that Capcom didn't budge under pressure and the only thing that the complaints. Just to keep them happy the developers just tweaked how Dante looked (very slightly). But in my opinion a remake was way over due.
As more details and gameplay videos are released, more people are actually being convinced that this iteration could well be the best of the franchise. I like

'Total War: Rome' Sequel Announced
Sega has just announced the sequel, Total War: Rome II, which has been in development at The Creative Assembly. It is only available for the PC and is currently set to be launched at the end of 2013.I am a MASSIVE fan of Rome: Total War which came out about 8 years ago. Even though the first game got me hooked to the series, none of its successors had been successful in surpassing the original in my opinion. I don't know what I loved about that game but, I have finished the campaign with pretty much every faction.
The sequel will be keeping the signature top view perspective for RTS combat. Like always you can zoom all the way down to one soldier or

Final Fantasy VII PC Re-Release
For some time now rumors had been going about that there would be a HD remake of Final Fantasy VII and that it would be available on Steam. Although we haven't heard anything tangible yet that would support this assumption, we did get news regarding FFVII.

According to the website there seems to be 3 major improvements:

New Survival Horror Game
Okay, I don't know about you guys but I was a huge fan of Gorky 17 aka Odium in the US. If you guys don't know what this is, let me explain it to you.
Gorky 17 is basically a survival horror RPG which combined the charm of point and click adventure games with turn-based combat mechanics. If you are a fan of survival horror games like Resident Evil then this game is a must play for you.
Check out the gameplay footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJL5Wx--d-Q
The game had received great praise upon launch and is considered a cult-classic. Unfortunately it only remained a cult-classic due to the fact that this

Error 37
For those of you who have waited a decade to play Diablo III, was it as good as you imagined? Well we all may have our own opinions on what we like/dislike about the PC game thus far, but I think we can all agree that connection errors were a problem we all hated.
When it came to launch time many of us had the game downloaded and installed; all we were waiting for was the servers to open up so we could set our eyes upon the Blizzard created madness known as Diablo III. However, once the hour came,

Chinese's Rip Off of Team Fortress 2 Surfaces Itself Again with More Plagiarism
Back in July,Kotaku reported about the Team Fortress 2 ripoff "Final Combat". Frankly, when the news got to me (the biggest TF2 fan in Arizona), my eyes began to twitch and I nearly blew a gasket due to the built up rage of hearing suchplagiarism. I was going to write a very wordy blog

Fans of Battlefield 3 on the PC Should Update their Drivers ASAP
According to an article on Kotaku, if you going to play Battlefield 3 on your PC, it is best to ensure that your graphics card's drivers are up to date and up to par with the demand of Battlefield's hardware requirements. If you're a PC gamer like me (don't worry I'm also a console gamer as well), it should be common practice for you to do so before playing any major game you buy
