Fallout 4 Confirmed
Although we've all been expecting it for a while now, there was no evidence that a fourth installment to the Fallout series would ever make the light of day. However, a tweet by Erik Todd Dellums, better known for the character name in Fallout 3 that he voice acts for, Radio DJ ThreeDog, gave gamers a glimmer of hope towards a new Fallout release.
The tweet read "To all my Fallout3 and ThreeDog fans: There may be more of the Dog coming! Fingers Crossed!"
Conversation began to explode on twitter about this tweet, with many confused as to how certain we could be that Fallout 4 was coming. Erik safely wrapped up the twitter rumblings by sending out another tweet

New Halo 4 Playlists
Frank O'Connor has taken a look back at the trials and tribulations of Halo 4 in 2012, and is both proud and excited for what's to come next.
"We made a lot of mistakes....There are a ton of things we wish we'd done better: Features that didn't make it into the final game. Glitches that emerged. Missteps made. DLC fiascos. Communication breakdowns, but there were things that went astonishingly well - the creation of a genuinely competitive AAA studio chief among them. A collection of talent and souls that can do something genuinely amazing on this and next-generation hardware."
Halo 4 has seen a successful year despite a few hiccups from the new developer,

The new Revolution DLC was first believed to have a new zombie map, but it now turns out that the new map will also come packed with a brand new game mode called - where players take turns being the lone surviving human whom has to defend himself against zombies which are controlled by other players.

Hitman HD Trilogy
Trilogy releases are usually only seen when a game series reaches an unprecedented level of success, or fans beg and plead for it to be released, so an HD trilogy for the Hitman series is a little unexpected. However, the trilogy will allow new players of the series to understand the story of Hitman and its origins, and old and new players alike can grab themselves a decently packaged copy of the three games.
The three games will be included in one package that will also come with an art book including 22 pieces of artwork representing the game. On top of this, players can submit their own art on a new website at www.whois47.com, recently announced by

Many players took the initiative before 2K13 was released and pre-ordered the game to receive the All Star Add On Presented By Sprite DLC for free.

Dead Island Special Edition
Despite the small development team, Deepsilver have managed to release the second Dead Island, Rip Tide, in a reasonably short amount of time since their first game. And although it's not a blockbuster title, it's still got its roots set firmly into a great concept, and I'm very excited for the games release on April 23rd.
If you haven't pre-ordered yet, there are now three options to go for; the standard edition, the previous limited edition steelbook, or the newly announced Rigor Mortis edition.
For a suggested price of $79.99, Americans can get their hands on the Rigor Mortis edition on a first come first

New IP from Dead Space Devs
The gaming world has known for quite some while that Visceral Games, developers of the Dead Space series, has had a new IP up its sleeve ready to play at any time, and although previously all we knew about the game was that it was 'a thrilling online action shooter heavily backed by EA leadership,' we now have a little more potential information about the game thanks to a career listing from Visceral.
"We are seeking an experienced Multiplayer Level Designer with shooter expertise at the Visceral Redwood Shores Studio. This is a major opportunity to contribute creatively to an exciting new IP."
Obviously this could mean anything but an FPS,

Vice President Joe Biden and his task force will meet with video game representatives and publishers about violent video games, Reuters reports.
Biden and his task force has held meetings with many gun advocate groups, victims of gun violence and gun owners this week.
The task force along with Biden will use this information to give a decision about a piece of legislation banning assault rifles and the role of violent video games and movies has to do with tragedies like the Newtown, Connecticut incident.
Biden will give a decision on what to do later this month in Congress.
Do you think violent video games result in these tragedies?

Sony may show PS4 to Publishers
There's no doubt about it; the next generation is coming. When and where though is a subject that little know about. Sony however have planned a two-day event following the annual 'Destination PlayStation,' a conference held by PlayStation's US arm for third party publishers and a few retailers that could potentially sell upcoming products. The annual event has been known in the past to reveal big new products behind Sony's PlayStation range behind closed doors.
This event happens to be just a few weeks before E3, an event where Sony may or may not reveal details on their latest console.
Although this year's Destination PlayStation may focus on other products such as the Vita,
