Halo 4 Controller and Console
Last week it was revealed from Microsoft's site that Microsoft will be releasing a Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 Console Bundle that comes with a Halo 4 controller. Although the pre-order page has been removed, the cat's already out of the bag. Although everyone is expecting that was part of Microsoft's plan.
Either way I guess more people were actually expecting a console bundle. I mean it's HALO, Microsoft HAD to do it. Here is what you get with this bundle

Halo 4 Multiplayer News
New information has surfaced surrounding the much anticipated Xbox exclusive, Halo 4. To be more precise, the information is regarding a new requirement that needs to be fulfilled in order to play Halo 4's multiplayer.
It seems that Halo 4's multiplayer requires a total of 8 GB of free space for an install, either in the form of extra space in an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external flash drive. However, Microsoft highly recommends the in-built hard drive over the external as the former is supposed to provide a more "optimal experience". I am guessing the optimal experience means less lag and load times?
This basically means

Evil Controllers and The AbleGamers Foundation
If you aren't familiar with the AbleGamers foundation, you should be. The AbleGamers foundation strives to bring accessibility to all gamers. This is a goal that Adam Coe, president of Evil Controllers, shares with them. Together with the AbleGamers foundation, Evil Controllers can help make controllers that are more accessible to gamers with limited mobility.
The AbleGamers work hard to increase the accessibility to all games; they reach out to game developers and game insiders to make large industry changes.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Info
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is not exactly a great leap for the series. It is not meant to be Counter Strike 2 but a revamp of the old game. That being said, we should not sell this game short as any CS veteran would be more than happy with this game. The game will be available for PC, Xbox360, PS3 and PC players.
Valve has actually spent some time and tweaked some of the factors of the game, the most noticeable of which is the new and improved look of the game. The map layouts, loadout interface and the physics of the game have also gone through some changes.
Anyone who has ever played any of the games from the series will instantly recognize
