As the release date for Battlefield 4 draws closer, we are hearing more and more about the different versions and DLC the game will include.
For those in the UK, GAME has recently struck a deal with EA and DICE to release a Battlefield 4 exclusive deluxe edition that comes with a bunch of downloadable content.
The deluxe edition will cost 64.99 (Pounds) for both PS3 and Xbox 360, and will include the previously announced China Rising DLC pack, among other things.
The extra bonuses will include currently unannounced in-game content, Battlefield 4, and a Battlefield 4 steel book cover.
The DLC will also be available for purchase for those who order the standard version. Currently there is no information on whether a US alternative to the deluxe edition will make it to retail.
Battlefield 4 will make it to Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 29th, with an Xbox One and PS4 release following afterwards.

The one thing that Gran Turismo has done well is build upon their existing franchise each time a new game comes out, making each new addition to the franchise more feature packed than the last one.
The legend himself, Kazunori Yamauchi, announced Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation 3 at Sony's GT 15th anniversary celebration and it is certainly looking as featured packed as we've expected GT games to be.
The game is said to include a total of 1,200 drivable cars, some of which are new to the series, and plenty more have been planned for additional content in the future.
The game will also include 7 new tracks, making 33 in total, and a brand new improved engine has been added that has been built with the help of KW Automotive and Yokohama Rubber, two companies that have experience in the field of tire, suspension and kinetic modeling.
Gran Turismo 6 should be the most realistic GT game yet, and with the inclusion of a bunch of new cars, and a total of 33

We've heard bits of info on Batman Arkham Origins here and there, but so far we haven't seen any in-game 'evidence' of the game. No screen shots and no videos have previously been shown. That is till now though, as Warner Brother's has just released some images on the upcoming title, and they are good enough to convince us that the third Arkham game may be the best one yet.
While we've discussed the strange combination of enemies found within Arkham Origins, there's no denying that the new screenshots really show how amazing the characters look. Villains like Deathstroke, Black Mask, and the slightly slimmer version of Penguin have been redesigned a little to better reflect the dark atmosphere in Arkham Origins and they fit right in. Of course, Batman is looking just as good as ever.
Are you looking forward to Arkham Origins? The game is releasing on October 25th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and the PC.

EVE Developer CCP Games has announced that DUST 514 will enter full release on May 14th, opening up the game to the public and allowing anybody with a PS3 to jump in and play. The game had previously been in Beta whilst CCP tweaked parts of the game, but now that the DUST 514 release date is seen just two weeks ago, it won't be long before all PS3 players can enjoy the experience.
DUST 514 was developed to be a free to play massive multiplayer online shooter that allowed players to fight over territory and make decisions that would directly impact the gameplay of CCP's other popular game, EVE Online.
EVE Online players can also get involved with DUST 514 players by sending orbital strikes and other equipment down to a planet that PS3 players may be playing on.
If players are interested, a limited edition

Every now and then a game developer will bring back all that they've made in a series and throw it together with other goodies on the side, into one big mega bundle. This is what is happening right now with Konami and the newly revealed Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection.
Although we don't know all that much about the international version yet, the Japanese version includes Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition, and the Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition. The newest games, Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Metal Gear Solid VR Missions will be included as well.
Players who purchase the Legacy Collection in Japan will also get their hands on the original MSX Metal Gear games, two interactive comic books, a Metal Gear Solid graphic novel and Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinee.
Obviously, this isn't everything that Metal Gear has its name on, but it's a considerably large chunk of it, and it's all available in one package.

Product listings for the Skyrim Legendary package have occasionally been spotted on unknown retailers from across the world, but since we haven't seen any product listings from more reputable retailers, it's been hard to believe the rumors of the Skyrim Legendary edition actually being a real thing. However, Bethesda on their bethblog has just recently announced that yes, the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition is a real thing, and it will include a lot of the features that Bethesda has been working on since the original version's release.
The Elder Scrolls Skyrim Legendary Editions will cost $60 for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, and will get you the full Skyrim game, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and the Dragonborn DLC packs, as well as every added feature from patches and other extra features that Skyrim has also added such as more player housing features.
Some of the features that have been added through patches that ring a bell for most gamers is the addition of the Legendary

Last week we talked about the PS4 date potentially being leaked by UK chainstore Asda, and it looks like this week another popular UK chainstore, known as Tesco, has just leaked a tad too much information on the new Call of Duty title.
Although we've been unsure about what Call of Duty game will reach the market, everyone is 90% certain that a COD game will come this year, following on from their current annual scheme. This year's game should be scheduled to be under development by Infinity Ward, and the leaked box art from Tesco shows just that.
Whilst at the bottom of the box art it states Infinity Ward, the rest of it is occupied by a soldier with most of his face concealed, whilst wearing a Call of Duty-like scarf and gloves.
The title for the game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, has already made it's rounds in the gaming community, with the biggest ripple to start it all off being from a Youtuber named Drift0r, who has said he has been supplied information from a very legitimate

Rockstar Games has suggested to its fans via their official website that three new trailers will soon be revealed, giving players more details on the three playable characters in the new GTA V, currently known as Trevor, Franklin, and Michael.
GTA V will be the first game to include multiple protagonists to play as in the series, according to Rockstar, who first revealed the details about the three characters earlier last year. The details also stated that in some cases, players will be able to swap back and forth between the characters when they are involved within the same mission.
All three characters will have different skills and abilities, and I can imagine that the overall gameplay experience for all three characters will feel distinctly different from the other two, so it'll be interesting to see what these new trailers show us.
Previously, two trailers for GTA V have been released, but no real gameplay has been shown. The trailers scheduled for April 30th

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.
