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.
Rockstar are giving players a little more though; they will be shipping a t-shirt worth $20 to anyone who pre-orders from their online store, Rockstar warehouse.
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

PS3 System Info
On October 23rd, PlayStation 3 users were greeted with a new update to their console. If you've turned your PS3 on since that date, you've probably noticed the new (v.4.30) update, and although there’s nothing significantly different, there are a few changes and tweaks that you're likely to spot.
The biggest difference in the new system software is the new changes to how Trophies are displayed on your console. You'll now be able to find your trophies under PlayStation Network on the XMB (Xross Media Bar.) It's a little different to its previous appearance, but hopefully many of you will find the new Trophy display significantly more convenient.

Console Price Drop
Following the new and reasonably priced super ultra slim PS3, Microsoft and Nintendo have both taken their turns to revise their pricing to better close the gap between them and Sony.
It's clear that the three console suppliers still believe that the current gen consoles still have a healthy life span remaining, and even with Nintendo's new Wii U releasing later this year, they're still focusing on the original Wii, and with a new price of $129, $20 less than its current price tag, it's likely many bargain hunting Christmas shoppers will be focusing on it too. The newly priced Wii will be in black and will include Wii

Rumored for some time now, the 'Pirate DLC' many have been expecting for Borderlands 2 has been released. Following gameplay footage of a list of new PS3 trophies leaked from Eurogamer, Gearbox has now confirmed that they will be releasing their 'Pirate DLC' this month."You can sense the pirate theme across the landscape, even though there's no water," said Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford. "It's all dried up. It feels more like Tatooine than an ocean. These bandits have really embraced the pirate lifestyle, and there's the legend of a treasure. That kicks off this whole adventure that the players can go on."
The new DLC, which has been set for release on October 16th, follows the early release for the Mechromancer character just one week ago. The newest DLC will focus new gameplay on Captain Scarlett, a one eyed pirate queen. The DLC will add a new expansive desert and a bandit-filled town named Oasis.
