New Abilities Halo 4
Halo modding prodigy nowise10 has managed to find some interesting things locked inside the Halo 4 game disc, including two armor abilities that never made it into the full release game.
A video by Halo Council has been put up on Youtube showing the new armor abilities in action. The first ability, teleport, works similarly to thruster pack does currently. However, you can teleport from one position to another without being in danger of getting damaged by other players and the distance seems a lot larger compared to the thruster pack jump distance.
The second armor ability is named hacker and it can in essence stop other players from using their armor abilities. In the video the player demonstrates good use of the hacker ability by stopping a player from using a jet pack while he's in mid-air, as well as disabling most of the other abilities too.
It's unknown why these armor abilities weren't put into the game physically, however

Borderlands 2 DLC
As well as confirming that Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt will indeed be a new DLC update next year, Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Games, has told fans that there will be a lot more content to follow in 2013.
Randy had used Twitter to give details on upcoming content, such as Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, and fans have responded eagerly.
"Sir Hammerlock has a grand adventure in store for us all in the deepest wilds of Pandora. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is really badass. Will be best BL2 DLC yet."
As well as new DLC missions and stories, new content for Borderlands 2 will help to keep maxed out players enjoying the game, whilst still offering new content for newer players as well.

iOS Xbox Live
One of the big benefits to Windows Phone currently is the inclusion of its services into the Xbox Live ecosystem. Playing arcade games on your Windows mobile could gain you achievements just like you can on the Xbox 360 or certain Windows Live PC titles.
It seems Microsoft wants to offer more compatibility to their Xbox Live services, because it's now possible to earn achievements straight from an iPhone or an iPad. Although no announcement has been made regarding the unexpected addition to the iTunes app store, it's now possible to download Wordament for the iPhone and iPad, and gain Gamerscore and achievements from this game.
The game was previously released on Windows Phone and one of its main features includes 'cross-play' suggesting that it may just be a one-off title that offers achievement stats on devices other than the Windows brand.
In other news, Sony has planned to import their trophy system into the mobile SDK of their

Ubisoft is one of the biggest publishers out there, and they've been responsible for some of the most successful video games of this decade. Thanks to Ubisoft we've had Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins' Creed, and a whole lot more.
