Telltale Game's The Walking Dead has been one of the most successful video games in the past year, and despite lacking much actual gameplay content, it's still considered a very successful and well-made game.
Season 2 of Telltale Game's The Walking Dead was confirmed some time last year, however the release for the first episode is now drawing closer.
Although an official date hasn't been confirmed, the first episode of season 2 has said to be made available this December, and Telltale Games have been trying their hardest to resist the temptation to release any spoilers.
However, it looks like someone working at Telltale Games couldn't resist and has revealed a screenshot that shows a character from the first season making a return to season 2.
This character is Omid - a man who managed to make it out of the first season alive and hardly remembered. He didn't play much of a part in the first season, but this new screenshot seems to suggest that Omid will play

Despite Rockstar pleading to the public to not leak their game, even they didn't doubt that the game would probably get leaked and torrented before release. And the result of leaked copies of the game selling before the release is filled with clips and footage of the game all over the internet on websites like Youtube, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.
Rockstar are trying their hardest to remove the footage, but because there are so many different people uploading footage, it's going to be pretty difficult.
It's become a trend to see popular games leak before their release date. For example, people were playing Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 at least a week before it actually came out. Microsoft responded to this harshly by banning any accounts that showed online play history of the game before the release date.
Rockstar doesn't have the manpower or backing by either Microsoft or Sony to do this so it's likely leaks will lead up to the game's release. The cause of this is mainly

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Last of Us is getting a free multiplayer mode. Yes, that's right, a free multiplayer mode.
Who would have thought that a developer could make a great game and then keep developing free content for it afterwards? Once again we've seen that not only are Sony exclusives great games, but they are made by great developers who care about making great games more than they care about making great bank.
The new multiplayer mode is a 4 v 4 game named interrogation. In interrogation, players will team up to fight other players for five interrogations by taking it from the opposing team steathily or by brute force and will then open the other teams lockbox once all 5 interrogations are received.
Like previous multiplayer game modes in the Last of Us, it takes both skill and good teamwork to successfully beat the other team, and it's great that Naughty Dog have managed to develop game modes that offer compelling game play objectives.

The first of the previously announced trilogy of downloadable content packages for Bioshock Infinite has been released, and it will be available for both PS3 and Xbox 360 as soon as both Microsoft and Sony make it so according to Irrational Games.
The first DLC pack has been named Clash of the Clouds and is a wave based arena game that will test players skills within the various fields of the combat system used within-game.
The Clash of the Clouds DLC will also include new voxophones written by creative director Ken Levine, as well as some new Kinectoscopes and other unlockables. The DLC package currently costs $5 on Steam so similar prices will probably be released to Microsoft and Sony.
Ken Levine has also revealed that the other two downloadable content packages will form a two-part story that puts both Booker and Elizabeth as a two team detective squad that the player will be able to play as in both stories.
The first part of the DLC, named Burial at Sea

Evil iD is here! This is a feature that we've been working on for quite some time and it's a feature that will continue to evolve over time. A lot of gamers have been requesting their custom gamertags be added to their custom controllers and Evil iD makes that possible.
At the moment, Evil iD is only available on the right side of your Xbox 360 controller and is not available for the PlayStation 3. We know our PlayStation fans want the same opportunity as their Xbox 360 friends, so you can expect Evil iD to be available on custom PS3 controllers in the near future.
So for now, play with our Controller Creator and start adding your gamertag, clan name, or personal name. Whichever you wish, the controller you make is your creation. Evil iD can be added in Black, White, Yellow, Green, Orange and Pink.

If you weren't satisfied enough with the first 8 minute game play video, Ashraf Ismail, director of the Assassins' Creed series has narrated another game play video. This 14 minute video goes into some of the game play dynamics found within the open world of Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag, and shows a little about the story of Edward Kenway, the protagonist you'll be playing as in Black Flag.
The video starts off by showing the viewer a contract mission that the player has accepted and how the player navigates the world map and in-game to find the contract victim. The video also shows the player traversing the open world a little and shows a bit more of the ship game mechanics.
We already saw the 8 minute game play video delve into the ship game play, but this 13 minute game play video helps to showcase the integration between the ship game play and the rest of the world, and I am quite impressed at just how seamless the whole situation feels.
Personally I can't wait

If you're still playing through all of the extra content Gearbox has released for Borderlands 2, we're just giving you a quick nudge to let you know that you won't be close to completing it any time soon. Why? Because Gearbox has just announced another DLC content update and level cap increase.
The new update will add the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 which will cost $5 and will allow players to level their characters to level 72. This new pack will also add a new fighting zone that will pit you off against waves of enemies you wouldn't usually see fighting alongside each other.
On top of this, a new mission will be released in time for Halloween called Headhunter Pack: T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest. This mission will follow the story of T.K. Baha, a character first seen in Borderlands 1 and will end with a boss fight against Jacquest O' Lantern. Players will be able to unlock new customization options throughout the mission.
Gearbox has also released

Someone made a mistake over at Insomniac Games and accidentally revealed something that probably wasn't meant to be revealed till later this year. A new page was recently uploaded to the website and then removed shortly afterwards showcasing a brand new upcoming Ratchet and Clank game, named Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus.
The page showed a few images of the title, as well as a lot of text on the upcoming game. The page went onto listing some of the features of the game, some of which we've come to know and love from Ratchet and Clank games such as upgradeable weapons, travelling between different planets, and a comedic storyline.
The page also said that the game would include more Clank missions where players would take control of Clank and run him through "inter-dimensional challenges where Clank can alter gravity, manipulate objects and solve mind-bending platforming puzzles."
Since this reveal, Sony has made an announcement to let everybody

I was pleasantly surprised as I watched the new Assassins' Creed: Black Flag gameplay video. The video features 7 minutes of gameplay footage as a narrator explains to the viewer what there is to be done in the new upcoming Assassins' Creed.
Personally I've been getting quite bored of the franchise, and when Ubisoft announced that they had plans to release a new AC game yearly, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. AC began as a series that was new and refreshing, but we saw that trying to reuse the same gameplay mechanics again and again just didn't work, even if the stories were quite compelling.
I was quite happy to see that the new Black Flag game actually looked quite good in this new gameplay video.
The gameplay shows off plenty of features involved with the high seas. We already know that the new game is pirate themed, but you may be surprised to see just how much of the game actually involves pirate shenanigans. In AC4: Black Flag, players will have their own

I'd be surprised if you haven't seen it already, but Rockstar recently uploaded a video filled with gameplay on their Youtube channel. The video shows footage as a narrator explains some of the gameplay mechanics that will be involved with the game. The three-way main character system was shown and explained, and it looks to be very intuitive.
The video also goes onto showing some of the many things you can do in the world of GTA V, including a whole host of sports like golf, tennis or hunting. And other completely unexpected activities like investing in real estate and buying stocks in a virtual stock market.
Another interesting feature is the ability to completely customize your own car with spray paint, and vehicular upgrades. The video showed the player owning a car that looked to come straight out of some of the older Need for Speed games.
The video is feature packed, and if you've been excited for the game already, this video will probably get you drooling, or
