Christmas Sales
Christmas marks the time for frantic last-minute shopping and frenzied retailers trying to push more and more customers to their 'winter season sales'. However, if you have a keen eye, you can usually find yourself quite a bargain amongst all of the chaos.
Xbox Live may be a place you'll be happy to find some decent digital sales in time for Christmas, and this is a perfect time to grab the games you haven't had the chance to get your hands on.
Microsoft has put on a sale offering a decent amount of games each day available for you to purchase at discounted prices. Although each day adds new items to the sale, you can still access games from previous days, and

Dead or Alive DLC
Since Dead or Alive 5's release, there have been constant DLC pack releases for the title. Unfortunately for some, most of these packs consist of nothing other than extra costumes for the characters within the game. If you do like being able to have more choice available in your virtual DoA wardrobe, then the new Santa pack 2 may appeal to you.
The new Santa pack actually comes in three different collections so that you can choose the characters you'd want most to wear the outfit, and not have to worry about spending the whole cost to get the costume available for all characters.
The new costume seems pretty generic for all characters, and whilst the male version varies slightly from the female version, both costumes remain the same regardless of the character wearing it.
The Christmas packs are a little confusing, so if you want to find a pack for a specific character, or find the best value to get hold of all costumes, here's

Street Fighter Update
Street Fighter X Tekken's community manager has taken to twitter to hype up the upcoming v2013 patch, giving details on content we may not have expected.
Community manager David Hinds has said that the new changes from the patch could make SFxT feel like a completely new game.
Although not many details have been given on what to expect from the v2013 patch, Hinds has given a bit of information on what sounds like a huge change in the combat mechanics of SFxT
"It's not just a rebalance, the mind games and pace of the game feels a lot different. Not only are the characters capable of new things, but also the players, enabling new strategies and faster paced matches."
Hinds seems to be directly quoting the combat system above, so although Street Fighter X Tekken may not look like a new game after x2013, it's as if Capcom wanted to make it feel like a new game, and most new in-game features will probably reflect this.

Dark Souls 2 info revealed
EDGE has dished out a huge amount of information on Dark Souls 2 after its surprising reveal at the VGAs.
Currently the game is around 25% complete, but there's still a lot of information to be picked up this early into development. Graphics-wise, Dark Souls 2 hopes to be as impressive as next-gen titles like Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313. The game won't be in Lordran this time round, but instead in a new area, with a similar size to the first game, although the area will be a lot denser, with more areas of interest.
There will be a lot of work going into the action elements of the game, according to Tomoyo

Next Gen Xbox Info
Next gen consoles are coming, there's no doubt about it. When though, is another question. The Wii U has managed to steal the show this year, similarly to the original Wii's release, but what we’re really waiting for is word of the big boys' new consoles. Both Sony and Microsoft have sent out dev kits of their new consoles, although word of what they contain and what each product consists of has been a closely kept secret.
Little to no news has emerged regarding the PlayStation 4 as of now; however, there has been a fair amount of speculation regarding the Xbox 720.
First off, is the name of the console; at first the new console was believed

Rage DLC Info
Although most of Bethesda's attention right now is expected to be on Skyrim DLC, and fixing the issues for PS3 players, Bethesda have still managed to release extra content for their other games, and in this instance, Rage.
It's been a little over two years since Rage was released, so it is likely most players have finished the game and have possibly sold it by now, but to those who have held onto it since then, you may want to check out the new DLC released just this week.
The new DLC, The Scorchers, costs $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points depending on platform, and is available for Xbox PS3 and PC.
The Scorchers will add lots of

Halo 4 DLC Info
After the launch of the Crimson map pack, players were reporting that they were capable of buying the map pack for free after following a simple bug within the Halo 4 title screen. Players were able to proceed to download the maps for 0 Microsoft points, causing heated discussions within the waypoint forums about the wasted use of the season pass, and an unfair advantage to those who could not get the bug to work.
343 Industries has now made a statement on the issue, and has let all launch players download the map pack for free. Launch players include any players whom have played before the promotional period

If you're looking for a good stocking filler this Christmas, or just want to make the most of the Christmas season, then you may want to get your hand on 12 months of Xbox Live for just $40.
On Thursday Buy.com put up a deal for the 12 month membership putting the price down from $60 down to $40. The purchase is a full physical card, but in most states there won't be any sales tax or delivery cost to hurt the amazing price.
This is cheaper than any other deal I've seen with the closest being the $44.99 deal from Amazon.com for a digital code. Digital codes may be more convenient, but if you want to give it as a gift, this is a perfect opportunity.
With this code you'll be spending the equivalent to $3.33 a month for Xbox Live Gold services such as online multiplayer capabilities, party chat, plenty of apps and access to special deals in the marketplace.
Compared to the average price of $8.33 a month, you'll be saving a total of $60 for a year's use.

Gears and Metal Gear at VGAs
Although there has been little information regarding new game releases at the VGAs, there were a few announcements, including some new trailers and information on Gears of War Judgement, and a possible new Metal Gear Solid game.
The new Gears of War judgement trailer showed at VGA doesn't really give us any further insight into the story that takes place before Gears of War 1, but instead shows us some fast-paced action scenes that we have expected from previous GoW games.
If you're a fan of the Gears of War series then Judgment won't disappoint you, but to those without any experience playing any Gears of War titles, the new Judgment probably
