Bungie have taken an interesting approach to the content in Destiny - instead of offering up all of the games bounties, missions and content all at once, they are rotating it regularly by providing some content for a couple-week period, disabling it, and then revealing more content.

All of this content is already on the disk, but because Bungie limits what we get to play at one time, it means it always feels like there's something new to play on the weekend - all of this content so far has been free, so I personally think it's quite a nice approach to take.

This month, Destiny released the Queen's Wrath - it's a new set of bounties and challenges that can award players with reputation points and marks for the Queen's Emissary - these can then be spent on new legendary gear and weapons that players have not yet managed to get a hold of.

For the end game players I see this as a great opportunity to get new loot, but for those still under level 20, it's unlikely you'll

If you are looking into buying a new game for the PlayStation 4, you may want to head on over to the PlayStation store as Sony have just put up a selection of games for a discounted price.

The new games are available for any PlayStation owners with internet access, and the sales will be running till October 8th - these new sales will not affect the PlayStation Plus line up in anyway, as the October PS Plus games will go live on the 8th of October too.

The game director for DriveClub, Paul Rustchynsky, has just revealed the list of cars we can expect to see in the game once it has been released.

Paul revealed the cars on twitter, and split them into five different categories: Hot Hatches, Sports, Performance, Super and Hyper.

Within the Hot Hatches category, Paul announced the Audi A1 quattro, Mini John Cooper Works GP, Renault Clio RS, Volkswagen Golf GTI, and Volkswagen Beetle GSR.

Sports cars will include the Audi RS5, Audi TT RS Plus, Bentley Continental GT Speed V8, BMW M135i, BMW M235i, Lotus Evora Sports Racer, Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG, and Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG.

In the performance category, players will be given access to the Alfa Romeo 4C, Aston Martin Vanquish, Aston Martin V12 Zagato, Audi RS6 Avant, Bentley Continental GT Speed, BMW M3 GTS, BMW M5, Ferrari California, Ferrari FF, Lotus Exige S, Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG 45th

A brand new trailer for EA's, DICE's and Visceral Game's upcoming Battlefield Hardline shows off a brand new unannounced game mode called Hotwire.

In the new trailer, the Hotwire game mode is explained as a cops n' criminals themed car chase that gives criminals the opportunity to steal numerous marked cars within a level. The cops, in response, must try to recover the marked cars.

Players in the passenger seat of the marked vehicles will be able to shoot at others whilst the driver is controlling the vehicle, so I expect Hotwire will end up being quite chaotic.

The trailer honestly makes Hotwire look like a fast paced enjoyable game mode that takes a fresh approach on the typical FPS game modes already seen within the game. However, whilst Hotwire is explained as a game mode with 'high speed chases' I doubt it will turn out to be anything like a race from Need for Speed, and sounds more like a vehicle control gametype similar to party modes we've already seen in games

Whilst Minecraft for the PlayStation 4 has been available as a digital download from the PlayStation Network since the beginning of this month, many players who have hoped for a retail version of the game have had to hold their breath for a physical release.

Luckily enough, Mojang has now announced that the physical retail version of Minecraft PS4 is on the way, and players will be able to pick it up from in-store starting from some time in October this year. In Sony's official press release related to the matter, Sony announced that,

"As many of you will already know, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition has been available from PlayStation Store since the beginning of the month. Following the successful digital launch, we are pleased to announce that the retail disc version will be available from 3rd October."

Sony followed on this topic by mentioning the upcoming PS Vita version of Minecraft, and their plans for cross-buy support for the game,

"In other Minecraft

Respawn Entertainment have now revealed all three maps for their upcoming third and final Titanfall DLC, IMC Rising, and by the sounds of it, season pass holders of the game are in for quite a treat.

The first map in the new IMC Rising DLC has been named Sand Trap, which features a network of trenches that are connected within a desert environment.

Map creator Chris Dionne mentioned that, "One of my main goals with Sand Trap was to use old ideas in new ways. In the center is a buried bunker inspired by the buried architecture in Fracture; this lets Titans stomp around above while pilots scurry below. Across the map are deep trenches that create a well-run highway for pilots; inspired by wall running in Rise they give quick and (relatively) safe routes across the map."

The second map for IMC Rising is a map focused on various levels of elevation and has been named Blackwater - this will be a map for those looking for some great 360 degrees jetpack-parkour combat.

We've already talked a little bit about the new upcoming features of Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but new rumors suggest that there may be even more features planned for the game that Rockstar are yet to reveal.

One such rumor makes the proposal that Rockstar may have been working on a first person mode for Grand Theft Auto 5, and it may make it's way into the game for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release.

Whilst there's no way to confidently confirm or deny these rumors, the source comes from a Rockstar blog reader who supposedly found a 'cached' version of the new gen announcement blog within the Rockstar website's code.

On the cached version of the website, the first person mode was described as 'A brand new first person mode for vehicles that shows the interior of the vehicle, including working speedometers, tachometers, dash lights, and more.'

The cached blog post also went on to describe a new first person mode whilst on foot

As it turns out, players will be able to obtain a cute puppy companion in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain which will follow the player around throughout the game.

It has already been revealed that Hideo Kojima's new AI companion system will allow players to pick allies of Snake to join him on missions throughout Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but a new a gameplay video from Tokyo Game Show reveals a new companion that I think a lot of players are going to learn to love.

The companion, which has been named the Diamond Dog, is a wolf companion that can be found in-game as a puppy. The game event at the Tokyo Game Show captured the relationship between Snake and the wolf as it grows, and I must admit, it is certainly filled with a lot of 'Aww' moments.

The Diamond Dog even manages to receive his own eye patch later in the story, too. It must be noted that playing alongside the Diamond Dog, or any other AI companion character is completely optional, and players

At Tokyo Game Show this month, Square Enix revealed a gameplay trailer for their upcoming Final Fantasy title, FF XV.

Whilst the developers have been working on the latest Final Fantasy game since May 2006, it has been a while since we've heard much about being able to finally get our hands on Final Fantasy XV. However, the new gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy XV at the Tokyo Game Show revealed that players would be able to get access to a full one hour gameplay demo of the game.

Redemption codes for the game demo of Final Fantasy XV will be provided inside copies of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, and players will be able to redeem their game demo codes in March next year.

Whilst the main story will give players up to one hour of gameplay, Square Enix mentioned that the demo also comes with around 3 hours of other gameplay if the game demo is fully explored and each dungeon is visited.

The game demo will mainly focus on battling within the game, not giving player's

Game release delays happen quite often, but it's rare that we see a DLC pushed backed further than it's planned release date, but this is happened with the latest Dark Souls 2 DLC, Crown of the Ivory King.

Crown of the Ivory King is set to be the third DLC pack for Dark Souls 2, and has been revealed to take players on a journey through a frozen, abandoned territory that has blinding snowstorms and freezing temperatures to keep players on their feet. Coast of the Ivory King will also come with a wide range of ice themed monsters as well.

The Crown of the Ivory King DLC pack for Dark Souls 2 was originally planned for release on September 24th, but without much notice, Bandai Namco have announced that they have pushed back the release of the DLC to September 30th for Steam and Xbox Live, and October 1st for the PlayStation Network.

No explanation was given as to why the DLC was pushed back, but it seems logical to assume that the developers have not had enough time to
