Dragonborn DLC

Yesterday the Third expansion for skyrim was released called Dragonborn.

This DLC allows you to return to the land of Soultheim where you are tasked with defeating the original Dragoborn using a range of new shouts, amour weapons and spells hile also defeatong a whole new range of NPC'S from wolf riding goblins to wear bears.

As well as this you can venture the whole island if soultheim as well as a whole new deadric realm. You can also buy houses in two new cities.

The fimal big eddition is that you can ride dragons. This can only.be done after the main quest by using a new shout to control a dragon which you can then ride in thid person.

Overall the DLC look great and is said to be just as good as vanilla skyrim which explains why Dan cannot stop playing it.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist described as a 'kneejerk reaction'

Fans have focused too much on the 'pow!', Footman said.

Early trailers have showed stealth hero Sam Fisher storming across a Middle Eastern desert in broad daylight, neck-stabbing crowds of armed bad guys in one fell swoop. It is a far cry from the series' dark and covert roots.

"Everyone can make kneejerk reactions to a vertical slice of the game that are really uninformed as to what the whole experience is like," Splinter Cell Blacklist director David Footman told Eurogamer. "We really have to be patient as we roll out each item about the game.

"The proof is always going to be in the pudding. Talk is talk, and it is just all talk right now. We really need to get a demo out there, for people to see how you can ghost levels, to see the gameplay. It seems to be an overreaction because people are just seeing the 'pow!', the explosiveness."

A considerable portion of the debate centred on a torture scene shown at E3, where players plunge a knife into a man's clavical, twisting the blade deeper in an attempt to exert information. Players are then told they can either spare or finish the man.

"What we showed at E3 was very explosive, very violent. That kind of stuff tends to get shown, but as we roll out different aspects of the game you'll see a lot more diversity and lot more of what hardcore fans are expecting to see.

"There are two distinct styles of gameplay - you can ghost a map, or you can go wild as well. There are some areas you'll have to play stealth, but there are areas where you'll find it hard if you don't use wide-open action."

Footman defended the use of such violent scenes, and explained that their inclusion was designed to reflect the real world.

"What people won't say, but what they'll dance around, is that is the price of freedom to protect Americans and their sedans and SUVs.

David Footman, Splinter Cell: Blacklist director

"If it makes you squeamish and uncomfortable, maybe that's the point. I always know when we're onto something that's really touchy and interesting when we get reactions like that. But the truth is it's really happening. That's the truth. We all know it's really happening all over the world. People are doing horrible things for - what, the right reasons?

"Where do you draw the line? What would you do to save your country when all it took was to torture someone using the wrong means? We feel it's an interesting dilemma for the player."

As for the game's focus on more action-orientated sequences, Footman explained that the change was part of the series' recent evolution from stealth, to stealth-action, and now to "stealth-action-adventure".

"[Previous Splinter Cell title] Conviction was a pretty big change for the brand, to stealth-action. [And] in terms of ensemble cast and everything else about our story, we're stealth-action-adventure now.

"We've gone from being a big game to a monster game. If you want to come out with a big Hollywood movie in the summer time, if you're not a big blockbuster - you're not going to get seen. It's very competitive now, it takes out the whole middle ground. You really need to know what space you're competing in. It's deep and it's broad.

"We definitely know our roots, being stealth, realism, having Sam Fisher at the core of it. But like every branded franchise, it is evolving."

As a huge fan of the Splinter Cell franchise and after playing every previous game, all I can hope is that Ubisoft does not stray too far from the original ideals of Splinter Cell being a stealth based tactical shooter.

I have pre-ordered Splinter Cell: Blacklist and will be receiving it on on it's release date in spring of 2013 along with the 'Upper Echelon' pre-order bonus, so you can look forward to a video on it around then.

Microsoft stop Gamers from making money off Youtube

Recently It has come to my attention that Microsoft has edited their terms of use on the Xbox 360 and have decided to kill off their main way of advertisement which is of course You tube.

This also means that GBS will no longer be able to make money off videos in the future.

I learned about this from an article shown here
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/120033-Microsoft-Prohibits-Gamers-From-Cashing-in-on-YouTube

As well as Ready up lives latest Halo update video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1vPd7C7-ao&feature=pl


This new  rule means that Microsoft can take people off you tube for making money through you tubes monetisation scheme if they make money off their content.

This also means that many others of your favourite you tubers wont be able to carry on with their videos with no funding. Unless they have an agreement with Microsoft.

Of course to many people this news is not well know and so I leave it to you to tell your friends and if you wish and can get yourself and them to sign this petition to stop not just us but thousands of others who enjoy making videos and earning them as well as if you wish to do so your self.

If you wish to sign here:

We hope most of you can help and if not we may stop doing videos all together with no real funding to keep us going.

The DLC will give new achievements on all platforms and will also allow you to get a new vehicle.

As well as this the DLC will add a new currency called seraph crystals and a whole new story to go through as said before.

So far I am really looking forward to this DLC and it has a lot to live up to to be as good as the Original Borderlands Major DLC packs.

Total War: Rome II

After quite a few years since the original release of Total War: Rome and its expansion pack 'Barbarian Invasion' and various other Total War titles like Napoleon, Empire and the highly prestigious Shogun 2 (which on Steam has just been updated to work with Community created content in the Steam Workshop and with new Team Fortress 2 promotion items) the Total War franchise prepares to welcome Total War: Rome 2 which takes the player back to the same age as the original 'Rome' game. As well as the nostalgia trip the game also gives the player a far superior game engine to play on.
  Recently the gameplay trailer for Total War: Rome II has been released.

Take a gander at this!

Halo 4 Flood

Recently images have been released of Halo 4 with one of which includes three Flood infected Spartans.
It has been noted that you will be able to play as the flood in Halo 4's war games.

As well as this, actual game-play of the new Infection mode has been released showing how the game-play does relate a lot to Infection game types just the infected Spartans have Flood skins.

As well as this new images of the Vehicles, characters, etc can be found on the Halo 4 fan page here
And game-play of war-games as well as part of the Intro to Halo 4 can be seen on Grenskulls channel
Finally some more new screenshots can be found here on master chiefs fan page.

From these images the game looks great and all of us at GBS are very much looking forward to the new game.

New slimmer PS3

Today we see the new Slimmer PS3 that has been announced to be coming out in the next two weeks which you can get in either Black or white.

No details have been given on the price but from other sources we learn that this PS3 loses 20% of the weight from the former Slim version and holds all the same ports as before.

This PS3 though has its Disk drive above and does not include a motor powered tray opener and instead opens on the top by sliding the right panel to show the disk tray.

Because the Disk tray is now closer the shell it now creates a bit more noise like the Xbox 360 but should harm your gaming experience.

Another down side to this design is that it cannot play original PS2 games which may PS fans were hoping for, the plastic top also looks unsuitable since such a basic tray opener can break easily.

As well as this the design has lost most of its sleek/smooth look that is seen in previous PS3's because of the new tray and basically just looks like the original PS2 slim and PS3 combined.

as well as this the new tray opener is not as smooth as the originals because its basically downgraded Tech but would work if you place it on its side.

Finally this version only has a basic composite cable unlike the Xbox and Wii which allow you to have HD play without a HDMI.

Overall this is a good buy since its cheaper but it just depends if you want to pay less by losing out on the normal versions features.

Halo 4 Spoilers and past news

Recenlty leaks have appeared on the latest Halo making of video showing parts of the Script which have now been decoded.
Information has also been read from pages show on Amazon.com of the latest halo Novel "A Thursday War".

(So if you wish to avoid spoilers don't read on and skip to past the first video).

The leak starts by telling us that chief starts by waking from Cryo sleep to find the covenant boarding Forward Unto Dawn to get information on a forerunner weapons cache which is on the Shield world of Requiem.

These covenant are also looking for an ancient lonely surviving forerunner called Didact who they believe to be a God and who is locked away on Requiem and will soon be awakened wither by chief or the Covenant.

Didact is now said to be the main enemy in Halo 4. he was said to fight the flood originally and also tried to destroy all of Humanity during the fight against the flood and so was locked in a supposedly never ending sleep on requiem guarded supposedly by the Promethean s.

He is said to never be wakened but now has done so and finds, of course the Humans, covenant and Promethean's, (who are supposedly keeping him and the cache locked away) leading to to a fight between him and the Covenant against the Promethean's and humans  in yet another huge war. well the Promethean's are killing the humans as well. so basically its all down to Chief (Again).

We also know that Cortana is deteriorating since her long time alone and now has to ability to create more versions of herself. She will now also get help from Halsey (who survived reach and is now on requiem) by trying to keep her alive. How she made it off Reach alive is not given but we can guess that Jun may also be returning, possibly as a Spartan 4

The leak finally ends with a battle at the guessed end where there is a face off between Cortana and chief against  Diadact which the script describes as followed.

Didact: "Compassion for mankind is misplaced."

Chief: "I'm not doing this for mankind." Chief then charges at Didact.

Cortana rushes towards Didact and jumps all over him (legs, arms, chest, back).
Several takes of "Cortana" tackling and climbing on random objects at full speed.

Didact is attacked by Cortana. He attempts to swat at Cortana as a means of self defence.

Didact unclenches his fist and drops Chief.

So so far all we know is that Cortana is dying and chief now has a new enemy Diact who it will be interesting to see how 343 actually depict the forerunners who we have not actually seen apart from in Halo Legends so far.

To see the script look at 3:55 on this video

Alos if you look at the screen at 2:55 you can see they have also brought back the Fuel Rod gun in Halo 4.

What we also know from PAX is that the Jet pack will be returning as well as in CTF gametypes you can now run faster with the flags and carry a small side-arms weapon with the flag.

343 Have also edited Oddball and griffball by making it so you can throw and catch the ball as well as hit it with Gravity hammers and automatically take it off people by using the sword.

They have also added Ball and flag assassinations which look amazing and will add a great addition to multiplayer but i can see that ball assassinations will go on too long in Griffball leading to your death as well as I can guess the this new throwing option will lead to a huge online game of Piggy in the middle...

For Griffball to work a new hangar has been added to one of the three forge worlds which is UNSC in design but mainly the same shape as the Colosseum in forge world on Halo Reach.

Other information includes new weapons such as the Forerunner Bolt gun and stickler pistol which now gets rid of the grenade launcher.

A rail gun has also been added which is a bit less powerful than a Spartan laser but the laser is still in the game.

Another new weapon is the Saw which is a large gun used to take out enemies at range and at a fast pace.

other UNSC weapons returning include the Shotgun, sniper, Magnum, Laser, DMR, BR, Assault rifle and Mounted turret.

All these weapons can be seen below:


Or if you prefer Dubstep:

As well as this 343 have announced specializations which mean that you can pick different classes which each have their own mods, skins and armour which you unlock after getting to level 50.
More info on specializations can be found in the video below as well as information on Two toned visors.


Finally an image has been given by Halorbit showing most of the new Halo 4 helmets which can be seen below.

Overall the game looks amazing and I really hope that the new additions and especially Specializations don't muck up the multiplayer.

UK's Game rating's change

For years now the PEGI and BBFC have been working co-operatively to bring Game ratings to the UK

Today it has been announced that PEGI is now going to be the only Game ratings developer in the whole of the United kingdom.

All this means mainly is that there are more guidelines to parents on Content in games and there are no longer 15+ rated games and instead 16+ games.

What this also means is that under age gamers will not be able to buy older games in the UK because anyone now found selling older games to their under aged customers could be fined at least £5000.

This means that game ratings are no longer created by volunteers and are now legally enforced. This could also mean that some ratings to games may change based on their content.

For those outside the UK this is not much news but to all younger gamers out there it will now be impossible to buy older games in the UK without a guardians consent.

The Elder scrolls Online for Consoles

Recently Zenimax studios has not ruled out the option of making TES Online for consoles in a recent interview with Matt Firor.

He stated that there is uncertainty between developers on whether the rumours are true about next gen consoles being integrated with PC's

This could also link in to several other rumours such as an RTS style game on PC that also has first person players battling on the grounds on Consoles (This may even  be seen in Dawn of war 3).

So far whether Tes online will apear on consoles is unclear but it depends mostly on the technology and whether the game can easily be converted to a format which means its usable with a consoles controlling device as well as whether this will interfere with the PC gamers way of controlling everyhting in an original style built just for the mouse and keyboard

Halo 4 xbox edition

Today we see the new Halo 4 Xbox edition which will be available to but on novemeber 6.




The edition includes a 360GB custom halo Xbox slim with two custom controllers as well as a copy of Halo 4 and a headset.

The ring of light on the console and Controller though will be Blue to match the colour scheme.

Battlefield 4

It has recently been announced that If you pre order Medal of Honour war fighter through origin, You will be able to access a Beta for Battlefield 4.

This is of course the first announcement for the game and hopefully fulfil our need of an even better battlefield game.

This said the Lead designer on BF3 has recently left Dice which could have an effect on the next game.

We look forward to posting more on this when information is released.

Gears of War: Judgement at Comic Con

Today at Comic Con during the Gears of War panel it was announced that Gears of War: Judgment is coming on March 19, 2013.

Before the rise of the Lambent, the sinking of Jacinto or the detonation of the Lightmass bomb, there was Emergence Day – when the Locust horde burst from the ground and set Sera on a path toward near annihilation. Gears of War: Judgment brings players back to the terrifying aftermath of E-Day, before the events of the Gears trilogy, for the most intense and challenging Gears game yet.

Get ahead of the game and learn the essentials of OverRun’s new class-based competitive gameplay through the OverRun tutorial video released today. Narrated by Damon Baird, players will see the required skills they need to defend as a COG or attack as a Locust.


Written by Tom Bissell (journalist and author of “Extra Lives”) and Rob Auten, Gears of War: Judgment follows Kilo Squad, led by fan-favorite characters Damon Baird and Augustus “The Cole Train” Cole, as they defy orders and attempt to rescue the city of Halvo Bay from destruction at the hands of the Locust onslaught.



Also today, the all-new “Island” map was revealed.

Island takes place on an archipelago of islands off the coast of Halvo Bay, which serves as a supply and refueling depot that feeds the larger military machine along the coast. The individual islands are connected by a series of bridges and tunnels, forming a network of unknown size and security. This is restricted territory, and civilians are not permitted on, or even near, any of the islands.

“Gears of War 3” Now Available for $29.99 (U.S.)

Halo Forward Unto Dawn trailer

Today we see the first full length trailer for the new web-series Halo "Forward Unto Dawn".

So far it looks amazing and is full of action as well as a good story line which will link into Halo 4.

If you cant wait for the action make sure to watch the Halo Hell-jumper series which you can find here.
(Click on "Here")

Minecraft xbox Update

Today the next Update was released for the Xbox version of Minecraft.

So far this obviously fixes a few bugs and also adds new craft able items such as shears and sticky pistons.

Hopefully more updates will be released soon.

First look at Halo Forward Unto Dawn

Today we see a First look at the upcoming Halo Live action series "Forward unto dawn" in this latest video by IGN.



The film is said to be about a young cadet who grows up with keen admiration for the legendary  master chief and goes on to become captain of the UNSC Infinity.

This character will be involved in the Halo 4 campaign and Spartan Ops.

So far the actual series looks amazing and filled with all the action we have been waiting for (Unless you count the ODST fan made series "Halo Helljumper").

So far the series looks amazing and I am really looking forward to the Extended version with the limited edition of Halo 4.

Also in relation to my last post, 343 has declined rumours of a Halo 2 remake.

Halo 2 remake

Recently a new Rumour has been announced that Halo 2 was announced in the latest edition in the UK'S Official Xbox magazine on account of how popular the remake of combat evolved was. More info on this game will be given as its released (If its actually in production).

Halo 4 Forge revealed

Today we see that the Forge editor will be returning in Halo 4 and will add new abilities such as locking and duplicating items. Forge also now allows you to magnetise objects so their faces easily fit together perfectly.

 There is also dynamic lighting in forge objects now so they will reflect light as well as have their own shadows inside them unlike forge objects before.

You can now also spawn special zones that change the Spartans traits in the area, so you can make gravity lighter so people can jump higher and float for a few seconds as well as make it so Spartans can run faster and possible change how much damage they can do in the given area.



 Overall this new forge looks amazing but a bit like the older one in reach with a few more additions. I really hope they add/show more in the future.

Halo 4 Multiplayer Gameplay

In this video it shows a good look at Halo 4's exciting new multiplayer, it shows us a large range of weapons but unfortunately there's no vehicles in this map. But it's a nice insight into the weapons, loadouts and armour abilities. Enjoy!

Star wars battlefront 3

Recently an hour long video has been released showing gameplay of star was battlefront 3 which sadly stopped production in 2009.

BBC Halo Fail

More Halo 4 Leaks

Except this time it's maps and vehicles

Well I was doing a bit of digging around into Halo 4 and 343 and I managed to get a couple of pictures. They seem to be a cross between concept art and actual in game screen shots of both maps and vehicles to be included in Halo 4.

Unfortunatley only three are labelled but as you can tell ot looks like the top two that's Kronos and the un labelled one are concept art and the bottom two ( Canary and Postage) Look like in game screen shots.

Remember to click on the images for a larger version

And now there are the vehicles I managed to uncover, it would seem there are new vehicles as well as new designs for old models, like the scorpion.

They seem to be similar designs to the vehicles in Halo's RTS game Halo Wars. The vehicles look like the hawk gunship and the supply ships used in the RTS and the pelican dropship has either been replaced or had more than a few face lifts. Ultimately this and the other posts on Halo 4 should whet your appetite for the game being released in November.

New Halo 4 Multiplayer map

Recently 343 has announced yet another pvp map for Halo 4 in its latest Halo Bulletin.

The map is said to be named Longbow and will be  a large symmetrical map that will work for Slayer and a new multiplayer game mode which is yet to be announced and I hope will top the great mode of invasion that was given to us in reach to experiment with.

Longbow

This map will mainly have Long range combat and vehicle gameplay since it is a large map but there will hopefully still be the smaller hallways in buildings that bring out the closest of battles.

From the pictures it looks very good so make sure to look at the latest Halo Bulletin to see more.

Next Skyrim DLC Leaked

Recently Bethesda has trademarked yet another Title the same way as they Trademarked Dawnguard

I may have said this in an older post but it is going to be Named Hearthfire.
(As said in a former post)

More research on Hearthfire leads to the conclusion that it is a time period in the Elder Scrolls Universe and so is the Ninth of the twelve seasons.
I then did some more research and found that there are several Annual events which occur during this time which could lead to information on the next Skyrim DLC.

The first of these events is the Rites of Moawita which is performed by the Sigic order.
We have already met the Sigic order during the main quest line for the Collage of Winterhold.
This means we could see more of them in this new DLC or maybe not. This event is said to happen on the first day of the Hearthfire season.

The next event is the Tales of Tallows on the third day. This is said to be where Necromancers celebrate necromancy and so many people are scared to go out in the streets. Both these lead towards a more magical DLC that could possible lead to a war between the Sigic Order and possible a new group of Necromancers.

On the sixth day is another holiday named Khurat. This is apparently when many priests become Scholars and those without children pray. This again leads to a more Knowledge based DLC and I have to say there are a lot of Holidays in one month.
This Holiday is said to be held in Iliac Bay in the Wrothgarian Mountains. This is only located on the border North west of Skyrim. Which means of course its in High Rock.
This could lead to the conclusion of possible new areas in High Rock or possibly the whole new land since it is not as big as its other areas in Tamriel.

On the twelth day is Riglametha; This is where the people of Hammerfell and Lainlyn have a large festival celebrating all the gods have given the people of Lainlyn. Riglamentha also means Great offering which means that an offering is of course given to the gods but of what we do not yet know.
This means that we could also be going to Lainlyn which is a Coastal town located south of Iliac Bay.
What I also forgot to mention was that there are Festivals during the celebration such as Graewaj which translates as "Crows who were punished" or "Crows who are punished". This could mean new locations and another festival quest.

The final Event is "Childrens day" which there is no information on but it does happen in a small Isle off the Iliac bay.
This information in my view could lead to a DLC that has several side quests Linked into these events and possibly a main quest which most likely happens with the Sigic order, or it could be about those Necromancers I talked about earlier/

Overall this DLC Could either be for Skyrim or The Elder scrolls online but it looks to be a DLC filled with quests and new locations which will hopefully be part of the events specified.
This DLC could also give us details on when it will be Released since Hearth fire is Practically September but is said to be the end of Autumn.

Xbox 720 leaked

Details on Microsoft's next Console have recently been leaked giving info on its price and features.
It will be a $299 bundle which will include Kinect built in as well as a Blu ray player.
Microsoft is also supposedly going to add tablet integration like the Wii U and is said to be working on glasses that will give a heads up display.

This information came from a leaked 50 page document that was taken down by Microsoft legal advisor from its original source.

Overall it looks to be a very promising console which will add a lot more features as well as i hope a lot more games being released on its release which is supposedly going to happen in 2013.

Skyrim Dawnguard Leaks

Yesterday some leaked information was given out from the Dawnguard beta which tells about some new Weapons, Shouts and ingredients.

For Shouts you get:

As for weapons you get:

Finally there's ingredients you can get which are:

Overall these new items lead to the idea of many new enemies and areas as well as several new items to craft.

Medal of Honor Warfighter

Electronic Arts have come along way since there first Medal of Honor released in 1999 and they are still advancing with the realese of Medal of Honor Warfighter announced at E3 2012.

From what ive seen it looks to be an increadibly promising game that uses the same frostbite engine as Battlefield 3, so expect to see walls being destroyed every where you look.
From the looks of both the trailer and the gameplay EA have included alot of new gear, we can see from the trailer that a new type of explosive has been included and EA have used the same hybrid scope you can find on Call of Duty and EA have put in new playable factions from British SAS, American SEALs, Germanys KSK and more. The games graphics look amazing easily challenging that of Battlefield and Call of Duty. Overall Warfighter seems to be one of the best games ive seen coming out this year and i will defiantly be buying it. If you want to see this first rate game with your own eyes watch the gameplay trailer below.

Skyrim Dawnguard gameplay

Recently G4 gave some new Dawnguard gameplay in an interview with Todd howard.
This gives out more information than my last skyrim post.


Also remember to check out our Facebook page which holds leaked images from Dawnguard here

The Elder Scrolls Online

Today we see a new trailer for "the Elder Scrolls Online".

From the trailer we see several of the new classes while also seeing that the original magic look of Skyrim is still appearing as well as the many original types of weapons.

So far the game looks great for a cinematic and I look forward to seeing how the game adapts to the public's hope for the game in the future.

New Halo 4 Gameplay footage

Today we see a first look at Halo's Spartan Ops.



So far it looks great and shows off some new armour abilities such as the ability to deploy a shield which follows the front of you which was previously seen on this new threat. We aslo see how this new threat will be fought against in the new Spartan ops gameplay and how the machine gun turret and covenant turret will be returning as well as other weapons while also allowing you to use the forerunner weapons as well.
There was also released a new trailer for Infinity multiplayer which is seen below



From this trailer we see how war games is now how Spartans face off each other in multiplayer through a simulation made to train each soldier in rough combat. As well as this Spartan ops is a load of missions given to the Spartans to pull off during the campaign through four player co-op.

We see how the multiplayer looks as well as several new maps in these two new trailers as well as in the infinity trailer we get a first glimpse of how you will be able to choose missions and change weapons and armour in multiplayer which looks cool and hopefully will be fun and filled with variations like past halo games.

As well as this we get another look at the new Multiplayer PVP aspect of Halo 4 which can be seen below.



So far the multiplayer looks great while also not being too over powered. the game hopefully wont be as bad in my opinion as the TU beta on reach and should hopefully bring a fair and balanced matchmaking system.
We look forward to seeing these new maps and weapons in the game and hope that the multiplayer will be as good as older halo titles.

So far the game looks great and cant wait to see what more new additions 343 has added to the halo universe as long as it fits in with the story of this entire universe.

New Skyrim Dawnguard Details

As said before the new DLC allows you to choose between a Vampire legion or the Dawnguard who are set to destroy the vampires.

All this content is integrated into Skyrim itself so you can use crossbows and your new Conjured creatures all across Skyrim as well as become a vampire lord all across Skyrim as well. It is said that one of the new castles is located north east of solitude which you can learn from a Guard's rumours.

If you choose the side of the Dawnguard you don't get to have a new form like the Vampire lord but they do give you the ability to cunjur an armoured troll (Which i hope is a thrall) as well as access new blueprints to build new armour and Crossbows.
The Dawnguard specialise in Armour and weaponry so expect some good pieces of armour by the end of their quest.
Crossbows do more damage than normal bows but take longer to load to fire.

If you choose the side of the vampires they will allow you to become a Vampire overlord at will. With this new power you can turn into a winged snarly type creature that can turn into a flock of bats and hover over environments at will. If you are a werewolf you will still have the chance to become this vampire but you will have to give up your wolf ways. But if you dont like the Vampire Lord you can always change back to a warewolf afterwards.
This Vampire mode does give you a whole new perk tree though and it has also said that a new perk tree will be given to the werewolves as well.
As for benefits to being a vampire, You are able bite and kill enemies which gives you new set of skills specific to the vampire lord. These skills include the ability to Cunjur a gargoyle to fight for you, or you can also Choke, Paralyse and Pull enemies towards you from a distance with new Vampire lord specific spells which you get from perks and killing other people.
You can also Detect all creatures around you and add poison damage to all your attacks.

As for new lands you get a whole new neither realm which is known as Soul Cairn which is filled with all sorts of new enemies and areas as well as lots of purple fire. It also features all sorts of Fiery horses that you can ride across the land. It is also said that these new areas have hidden elder scrolls which will probably affect the quest line so look forward to a in depth story of at least 15 hours of play.

So far the DLC looks great and it is said depending on what side you choose the content will be altered so make sure to make a second play through if you want to get the best out of the DLC.

Star wars 1313 gameplay

Today we see new gameplay for Star wars 1313 which seems to be a Darker more uncharted like Star wars game where you play as a bounty hunter who is probably trying to kill someone in this new area called level 1313.
More info on the game can be seen in this video.

More information on this gamed will be published as its released.

Transformers fall of Cybertron trailer

Today E3 released a new trailer for Transformers fall of Cybertron.

New Halo 4 footage

Today we see several new clips of Halo 4 coming straight from E3 which lasts 120 seconds in total and shows off several of the announced game modes.

Resident Evil 6

Recently E3 showed us some gameplay of the recent game Resident evil six which looks like it has a very good story line and gameplay as well as it is filled with action sequences to gnaw your teeth into while playing while at the same time leaving room for some very core areas of play.

A new trailer was also released at E3.

We look forward to seeing how the game develops in the future.

Wrecketeer

Recently E3 announced one of the new Kinect games called Wrecketeer. Wrecketeer allows you to shoot cannons at ork and goblin castles with a whole arsenal of different ammunition that do different things.
More on the game can be seen below.

So far the game looks very good and should be fun for kinect gamers to play.

Nintendoland

Nintendoland is a game theme-park with 12 different attractions/games that you can play with friends.

One of the attractions announced was Louig's ghost mansion where one player is a ghost and others are humans. The ghost has to fight the survivors in the house and the survivors have to defend themselves.

If the survivors flash their light on the ghost the ghost takes damage and once the ghosts health bar reaches zero the survivors win.

The ghost wins by making all the survivors pass out.

This game will be able to be played co-operatively online and players can also meet up in Nintendoland itself since it is one of the first major Console MMO's. This means friends can get together in the land and play each game which has brought together several Nintendo game franchises such as Mario and many more.

We look forward to seeing more of this game in the near future and the game is set to release at the same time as the Wii U itself.

Dead Space 3

Coming In February 2013


Over all Dead Space 3 looks like a very promising game. It seems to have two play styles.  The original alone and scared little man in a big world gametype and the Co-op screw yo stamp on your head yelling profanities and hip firing my gun. Has is changed too much?

Towards the end of the E3 demo for Dead Space 3, we found ourselves rampaging through an open field with our co-op partner, enemy soldiers charging towards us, guns blazing, as they shout all manner of obscenities, ducking behind cover and firing our machine guns.

And I think to myself: Who got all this Gears of War in my Dead Space?

I'm a big fan of Electronic Arts' horror-game series, except for the part about halfway through Dead Space 2 where it turned from a creepy, slow-paced exploration of nightmare environments into a generic corridor shooter. So I'm more than a little concerned about the fact that the E3 demo for Dead Space 3, which I played last month at EA's Los Angeles campus ahead of the show, seems to embrace the overworked genre of the dudebro buddy shooter more so than the frightening loneliness at which previous games have singularly excelled.

Perhaps it was inevitable. At the event, Dead Space 3 developer Ian Milham touted the popular success of the series: "Look who's a big franchise now!" he said. "Put that in your pipe, Madden!"

As a game series becomes mainstream, it must be tempting to shift the gameplay towards something more lowest-common-denominator in the hopes of making it even more popular. Or at least make it seem that way. Milhelm said that developer Visceral Games is "still going to do all the cool haunted-house type stuff."

Other writers at the preview event mentioned to me that EA reps had told them that the Dead Space 3 demo wasn't necessarily fully representative of the final game, but that action sequences showed better at trade shows than methodical solo exploration.

This may be the truth. But then, what of the co-op play? I'd be interested to see if Visceral could manage to create a truly scary experience even when two people are in the room together. But the sense of isolation -- of being alone and somewhat helpless against the odds -- contributes to fear. How does Dead Space 3 plan to get around that? The E3 demo doesn't tackle this question.

Dead Space 3's gameplay mechanics don't feel that dissimilar to the previous games', despite the fact that the action is now set on an ice-covered planet rather than an abandoned spaceship. (Ironically, the E3 demo of Capcom's ice-planet shooter Lost Planet 3 now feels a lot like the original Dead Space.)

Scavenging health packs, strategically dismembering enemies and firing the old standby plasma cutter felt just like usual -- even though the demo started me with a generic machine gun and I had to manually switch to the series' classic three-pronged signature weapon.

The E3 demo seems built primarily to show the gameplay differences between co-op and single-player. As a lone gunman, you're still playing as the increasingly unstable series protagonist Isaac. If a cooperative player jumps in, they're a new character called Carver who isn't nearly as nuts as Isaac. This creates no small amount of tension between them. You'll see storyline sequences, heavily scripted and cinematic interactions between the two characters, that don't show up in solo play.

"If you want to team up, everything changes," Milhelm said. "If you want to play single player and experience that intensity, you can."

I don't know if it's possible to keep everything the same while making everything different. If Visceral can pull it off, it will be quite a feat. Dead Space 3 is scheduled to be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in February 2013.


     See what I mean? Still looks good though.

Lego City for Wii U

Today Nintendo Announced that there is a new Lego game that will be appearing for the wii U.

We will give more info on this as its released.

Spinter Cell: Blacklist

Personally I am a huge fan of the the Splinter Cell franchise. So this is very exciting.

Sam is back in his tactical suit and goggles, and he is more deadly than ever

Ubisoft has released a couple of fresh videos for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, a new Splinter Cell game scheduled to be launched in Spring 2013 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
The United States has a military presence in two thirds of countries around the world. A group of 12 have had enough and initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist - a deadly countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. interests. Sam Fisher is the leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit: a clandestine unit that answers solely to the President of the United States. Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero.
You can infiltrate terrorist cells by using new gadgets such as the upgraded snake cam and micro-trirotor drone which allows Sam to scout ahead, mark targets remotely, distract enemies, or explode with frag grenade force.Splinter Cell Blacklist is also bringing back fan-favorites like the sticky shocker, and for close quarters combat, players can wield the curved and brutal Karambit knife.


 

Forget cool, Sam Fisher is the definition of 'Are you Sh*ting me AWESOME'.

Wii fit U

Today Nintendo has announced Wii fit for Wii U which will use the new Game-pad to make it easier to get the information you want in your hand while training as well as a whole new way to to see the fitness games you play. This will probably also allow you to go against your friends since the Wii U can hold up to Two Game-Pads and four Controllers. This means that you could have family fitness days and so on.

Wii fit U also adds a new Fitness meter so you can compete against your Friends, Family and people across the world.

So far this new feature looks amazing and should give more information about how it works and what it can do in the future.

Mass effect 3 for Wii U

It has just now been shown that Mass effect 3 and several other games such as "Aliens colonial marines" will be appearing on Wii U with all sorts of new Game mechanics and gadgets that can only be used with the Wii U game-Pad.

We will give more info on this in the future.

Batman Arkham City armoured edition

Today Nintendo and Warner brothers announced Arkham city Armoured edition which will only be avaliable on the Wii U.

This means that players get a lot more items and combat moves which are only avaliable by using the wii U game-pad.

With the Game-Pad you will be able to get all Batman's weapons by just touching the Game-pad as well as get more gadgets to use with the controller as well as a whole new way for Batman and Catwoman to do more damage.

More info on this game will be given as its released.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released on November 14th

 Treyarch are going above and beyond that of Modern Warfare and are instigating a proper future warfare game. The whole idea is that all the technology that the army in the future has produced is turning against the creators and at the command of the enemy looks Fantastic.

 

 Black ops 2 zombies had been confirmed by Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. “If you like zombies you’re going to be really happy with what we’re doing with Black Ops 2″ Mark Lamia said and he added “it is the biggest most ambitious zombies ever”. Black ops 2 zombies mode will be another game entirely. Mark Lamia later said that Zombies is part of the multiplayer engine and it will be a full featured game mode with multiple game modes and no longer a many game, and he added that there will be twice as many co-op players which means that it will be doubled from 4 to 8 players. Black ops II zombies is considered one of the most attracting parts of the black ops 2 game and Treyarch will do their best to develop this installment as it is one of their fans and their own favorite part. Although the last installment of the zombies franchise was said not to be too good compared to the first one but this year there will be a lot more blood and it should be far more exciting, the black ops 2 zombies should be awesome.

Assassins creed 3 Trailer+Gameplay

First of all recently E3 gave out a new Trailer for Assassins creed 3.

Yet again Ubisoft have made the trailer look stunning and have again given a very good story to the Assassins creed universe.

If you want to see Game-play there was also a Game-play trailer released back in may showing off all the assassins new weapons as well as the different areas that you can see.

Crysis 3 Gameplay

Recently ES has shown us new Crysis 3 game-play which can be seen below.

From this footage we see the true power of the current cry engine and how well the game mechanics fit with the updated graphics. So yet again the new game looks amazing and is probably yet again set to be the best looking game of the year.

Battlefield 3 Armoured Kill and close quarters DLC

Yesterday E3 gave us a real treat by giving more details on Battlefield 3's tow new Expansions that are the Close Quarters DLC and Armoured Kill.

Right now the Close Quarters DLC is available for Premium subscribers on PS3 and on Xbox next week.

Then there will be the Aftermath DLC which will be arriving in December which will be a survival based game-type that will either be single player or four player co-op.

All these DLC's can be bought 2 weeks early as well as the Back to Karkand DLC with the Battlefield Premium Pack which is available now and can be seen below.

Rayman Legends

Yesterday we saw new gameplay for Rayman Legends for the Wii U.

The Avenger's Battle for earth

Recently a New Avengers game has been Announced called Battle for earth. This new trailer shows that many of the X-men characters will be returning in this game as well as Spiderman characters.

 This game is being developed by Ubisoft and seems to give the original cartoon like look to the game and will hopefully bring a new story that will be different to the latest film and should hopefully feature a lot more playable characters.

New Kinect sports games.

With Fifa13 And madden NFL it has now been announced that Kinect Voice controls will allow you to work more effectively with the AI sportsmen as well as you will get more feedback from Referees.

WII Zombie U

Recently at E3 Nintendo announced ZombieU which puts you in London Circa in 2012 where you have to fight off loads of zombies with the Wii U controller. More info can be seen in the E3 Trailer.

New Harry potter game

It has been announced that Sony entertainment is working closely with J.K. Rowling to create a new Harry Potter game for the PS3.

The games are going to be called Wonderbooks which will use PS3's motion controls. The game is set to tell stories in your living room. The first of this Wonderbook series will be The book of spells which will be a game based off the Potter universe which will allow you to use spells in the book with your PS3 motion controller.

More info can be seen in the E3 Triler.

South park the stick of truth trailer

This game allows you to join the crew and fight along side them in the game on an epic quest to become cool.

More info on the game can be seen in an interview with the creators of south park.

The game is set to make you play through an episode of south park and so the graphics are seen the same as that on the TV show but you will now be able to walk to each area.

There will be weapons and a lot of enemies. This game has been based on past RPG games aswell so there should be some good combat appearing and AI.

We look forward to seeing the game in the future.

Well, I must say the new Tomb Raider game looks better than any of the others I've ever seen.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Because sometimes revenge and vengeance aren't enough. In this case you will need Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

  

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2

Supposedly, One Shot, One Kill. But sometimes in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 it's nice to blow some stuff up too.

Gears of War: Judgement Debut Trailer

Check out the new E3 footage of Gears of War: Judgement Debut Trailer

Halo 4 Multiplayer

Apparently 343 Industries has developed a believable story for the multiplayer which explains why the Reds are fighting the Blues online. That is something I look forward to hearing about.

Ascend New gods

Today we see a new trailer for the new game Ascend new gods as seen below.

The game is being developed by the creaters of toy soldiers and shows a Fantay type world where you play as Chaos who follows the will of the gods to kill all type of deamons through an immersive single player or miltiplayer experiance.

The game is set to be released in 2013

Dance central 3

For all you dance fans out there, Today Dance Central 3 was introduced in the latest Microsoft press conference. You can learn more about the new game below.

New Halo 4 trailer

Today we see a new Halo 4 trailer featuring the new threat they were speaking about in past updates.

The trailer seems to be a mixture between Live action, Cinematic and Gameplay and shows a major part at the beginning of the story.

We learn about the new Ship that was created by the UNSC has crashed landed on this new world where the covenant have followed the chief to. Then we see the new Enemy whcih seems to be a forrunner threat or system that has been trapped in this shield world.

Whether the forrunner built the world to imprison it or actually built the creatures we dont know but it seems that these creatures are not organic and are possibly some type of AI robotics system that is controlled by the entire planet.

In addition to the story we see that Cortana is apparently deteriourating and so it will be interesting to see how she reacts to certain situations.

We then see the weapons. In the trailer we see that several weapons are returning such as the Assault rifle and Battle rifle as well as we see that two new forrunner weapons are appearing that seem to be some kind of rifle and Shotgun that Master chief takes of this new threat of foes.

So far the animations for these new forrunner weapons look really cool and they seem to be quite powerful against masterchiefs new foes.

As well as this we see the recently announced Forerunner vision that was announced during previous showings of Halo 4 which we now see in full during the campaign.

As for vehicles we see that the warthog is returning as well as some large heavy all terrain troop and vehicle carriers as seen below. we do not yet know though if you can drive these vehicles or maybe even have to defend them either by using turrets on the vehicle or even just with a squad of warthogs or tanks.

We also get to see the new MEK's that are appearing in halo 4 that we saw on one of the first multiplayer maps announced.

Finally we see that unlike past Halo's, the Chief will be fighting along other spartans which could also link in to online co-op.
