It has recently been revealed that Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will receive some additional content that other platforms will not get access to. The extra content will only be available in the Xbox One collector's edition, which Projekt Red have mentioned quite a few times leading up to this date.
Unlike many other collector's editions available, the exclusive Xbox One content within the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be physical content, and will not add any additional content to the game.
If you're a big fan of the Witcher and are quite knowledgeable about the lore of the franchise, you may consider looking into getting the Xbox One version of collector's edition - the extra content it will include involves a real set of Gwent cards. There will be 150 cards in total, and this will allow players to play Gwent in real life. Those without the collectors edition will still be able to play Gwent digitally within the game, but I think it's pretty nifty that Projekt Red have gone the extra

The brand new 4 vs 1 shooter title from 2K has managed to pick up a variety of different awards from Gamescom this year, including the 'Best of Gamescom Award.' There's no denying that Evolve has managed to impress a pretty large audience, and I hope that the game manages to live up to what we've come to expect from the title so far.
On top of grabbing the Best of Gamescom Award, Evolve has managed to pick up an award for the best console game from Microsoft Xbox, an award for the best action game, the best PC game, and the best online multiplayer game.
Surprisingly, the only other companies to get awards from more than one category were Sony and Nintendo, making Evolve the biggest hit of Gamescom 2014 by far.
Other games like Super Smash Bros, The Evil Within, Splatoon, Risen 3 and Littlebigplanet 3 managed to pick up awards too, however no other game was awarded the winning award in more than one category.
Evolve looks to change the first person scene up by

In recent news, it has been revealed that the new upcoming Tomb Raider game, Rise of the Tomb Raider, will be released as an exclusive to Xbox consoles. This information was announced at Gamescom, along with a range of other details about Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Unfortunately, the Tomb Raider panel at Gamescom did not bring any light onto the gameplay we can expect from Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it did reveal that the game will be released in the holiday period of 2015, which is just over a year away.
On top of this, Microsoft made it abundantly clear that Rise of the Tomb Raider was going to be released as an Xbox One exclusive title, despite previous listings suggesting the game would be created for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.
It could be very possible that Rise of the Tomb Raider will only be a timed exclusive for the Xbox One, and will be released to the PlayStation 4 later in the year. Either way, it's interesting to see this team up between Square

Last week, a few rumors spread the net regarding what sounded to be some kind of Resident Evil remake, and this week Capcom have spilled the beans.
Out of nowhere, Capcom have revealed their plans to release a brand new Resident Evil Remake that will be the second makeover for the first Resident Evil title released for the PlayStation 1. The first rendition, which was adapted for the GameCube in 2002 was dubbed REmake, and the new Resident Evil Remake announced this week by Capcom will be an HD re-imagination of the same GameCube title.
Once the remake of REmake has been released, Capcom will release it directly to their digital store, where players will be able to download it. It's likely a physical copy will be released for the new Resident Evil Remake too, however details for this have not yet been revealed.
Capcom have however announced that the new Resident Evil HD version will be made available for Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One PS4 and the PC, and will run at 1080P

Regardless of how many hours you may have put into the beta stage of Destiny last month, your progress and characters will be deleted in time for the full launch date for the game, Bungie has confirmed.
Unsurprisingly, all data made in the Destiny beta will be wiped, similarly to how alpha content was deleted before the beta was launched. However, Bungie have mentioned that the beta wipe will be the last time players will have to say goodbye to their characters and saved data.
Whilst this may not be much of an issue for the majority of you, it's understandable that some players may be frustrated with the wipe after coming across rare gear or weapons that they may not have much luck with in the full game.
However, as the game was in beta stage, players should have expected their gameplay progress to be wiped before playing, so there's no real reason to get angry at Bungie for the new beta wipe.
The main cause for the wipe is because Bungie have been constantly

Deep Silver have a lot planned for this year's Gamescom, but perhaps the most exciting thing to come from the developer is a hands-on look at Dead Island 2. Those visiting Gamescom will have the chance to play Dead Island 2 for themselves, marking the first time Deep Silver have let the game go public.
Whilst we may not get a fully featured official gameplay showcase of Dead Island 2 at Gamescom 2014, we can expect to see a large amount of gameplay content hit the internet as soon as the world gets it's hands on the Deep Silver game booths available at the event.
In total, Deep Silver will have 150 different PC and console gaming stations scattered around Gamescom 2014, which should be enough to give a large amount of players a chance to experience Dead Island 2 over the days the event is held.
Dead Island 2 has been set for a release in Early 2015. Unlike previous titles in the franchise, Dead Island 2 will be developed by Yager, a team that has not previously worked

Rockstar have already mentioned in the past that they have plans for new DLC content for Grand Theft Auto 5, however unlike previous GTA games, the developer has solely focused on releasing new free content for the online portion of the game since it's release.
However, despite this, Rockstar still have been quietly working out their plans for new singleplayer DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5, and thanks to new rumors, we may now know a fair amount about the new upcoming content.
Allegedly, Grand Theft Auto 5 will soon be receiving a brand new DLC pack that will include some kind of zombie related content. The rumors surrounding this report are very loosely based on some leaked code found within Grand Theft Auto 5, so we'd better take this with a very large grain of salt.
However, we've also been hearing a lot about a set of casino based DLC content from a few various sources, some of which suggest that the new DLC pack will include multiple casinos, three mini games 12 new

Despite releasing a new Battlefield title every year for the past few years, Visceral Games and EA have made the collective decision to push back the release of Battlefield Hardline, breaking the current annualization of the franchise and offering the developers more time to iron out any kinks with the game in it's current state.
The reason behind the delay is primarily down to a range of new inspiration that has led Visceral Games back to the drawing board, thanks to the community's input from the recent Battlefield Hardline multiplayer beta.
Visceral Games recently made a blog post on the EA Battlefield website to address the sudden launch date change, and details of that post can be read below.
1. Multiplayer Innovation: Coming out of our E3 beta, internal focus tests, and work with our community, we have received a lot of great Multiplayer thinking. We're going to be adding some new feature ideas direct from the community that will evolve the cops and criminals
