Bungie's New Game: Destiny

Earlier this week a leaked document from Bungie Headquarters showed the background and concept art of their upcoming game.

The basic story deals with a futuristic human race that, after colonizing the stars has been fought back by an alien race to Earth. The only thing left is one city that is being protected by a giant alien space ship, from a different alien, hovering above that city.

"A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second moon. No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector," One of the passages in the concept art said.

Black Friday Xbox 360 Sales

Last week, Microsoft proved that the Xbox 360 still has life left.

A small statistical website reported that during a six-day time period the Xbox 360 sold 750,000 consoles in the United States alone. Also, Xbox 360 Gold Memberships increased 50 percent compared to Black Friday last year.

The increase of sales saw a spike of 14 million people on Xbox Live the Sunday after Black Friday. They accumulated a total of 72 million hours of use in just one day.

Although this wasn't completely good news, last year Microsoft set a record of 960,000 consoles sold during Black Friday sales.

Nevertheless Microsoft says that entertainment usage was up by 43 percent

Xbox 360 get Gold for Free

This weekend only, Microsoft will be opening its Gold features up for everyone.

From this time all the way up until Sunday Xbox 360 users will be able to play online, use Hulu Plus, Netflix and many other services and applications that weren't available to them before.

Not everyone will be able to savor this limited time offer. Microsoft lists that only "Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States," said Major Nelson.

So if you are not

Call of Duty Reigns Supreme

Halo 4 may have been released one week before Black Ops 2 but it remained in second place this Black Friday week in the amount of players online according to Major Nelson.

In that same top five bracket was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in fourth place trailing behind Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.

The original Call of Duty: Black Ops sits at sixth place while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reigns at ninth place.

Skyrim Patch Info

A new patch for Skyrim has been released which has so far only been updated on the Xbox 360. The patch will be downloaded once playing Skyrim on Xbox Live, and has ironed out a few issues with the game.

The patch has fixed bugs with Arnleif and Sons trading company, NPC duplication, and vampiric grip and exterior doors. The patch also includes some back-end code to make Skyrim play smoothly.

For PS3 owners, and Xbox 360 owners outside US or the UK, the patch won't yet be available to you, and Bethesda hasn't stated when these consoles will get the 1.8 patch.

The new patch should hopefully help the new Dragonborn downloadable

If you've been a fan of the wacky FPS for a while now, then you've probably heard talk about a new HD remake collection of all the previous games, and now Crytek, the new developers of Timesplitters, have heard talk too, and they want to know how many people are interested in a new remake for the classic first person shooter.

Free Radical were the original developers of the Timesplitters series, but back in 2009 Crytek bought them out after the world had decided that they prefer more realistic games like Call of Duty or Battlefield 3, to the inane cartoony gameplay from the Timesplitters series.

However, CEO of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, has made a small statement about a possible future HD collection, but it's very much down to the player's input. Cevat has said, "There's a very hardcore market that is very verbal about it. I would love to see this, and if the fan base approves a further petition. They're trying to call 300,000 voices; I think it's at two or three thousand right

For most of you, max Prestige isn't something you will be reaching for a good few months, but for one gamer, he has set a goal to be the first to reach prestige in Black Ops 2. Ernest Le became the first player in the world to max prestige in Modern Warfare 3, and he's back at it again with Black Ops 2.

Ernest, who's teamed up with GoldGlove, TmarTn and Jericho, will be playing and live streaming Black Ops 2 twenty four hours a day. The stream can be found at Twitch.tv and has so far received over 5 million unique viewers.

For most, achieving a goal like this would have to take more than just a passion for playing video games, but a huge amount of dedication and trying to reach max prestige before anyone else will be difficult. Thousands of others are reaching for max prestige as well, with some players also playing on a 24/7 game stream.

You're probably thinking that playing Black Ops 2 every single day practically non-stop is a little strange, but Ernest Le's Twitch

After the delay due to Hurricane Sandy, Rockstar has finally released the second trailer for GTA 5. The new trailer depicts the world of GTA 5, and flashes between the three characters that you will play as in the game. Straight away, it's easy to note how far Rockstar have worked on the story of the game, and I think the characters are going to feel more lifelike and humorous than ever before. On top of the realism within the three main characters storylines, the graphics are top-notch too, and although the trailer mainly showed cut scenes within the game, the graphics in GTA 5 will probably be a big improvement from Grand Theft Auto 4.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will take players back to San Andreas, where the story progresses between the three separate characters' lives as they weave in and out of each others stories, creating a huge, well-constructed single player experience. On top of the huge storyline, the total land space of Grand Theft Auto five will be four times that of Grand

Bungie were very nice to the Halo Reach community, and were always fine tuning the matchmaking playlists to make players' gameplay experiences ever more improved. Bungie went as far as to change some of the weapon mechanics, which is a huge deal when applying this to an Xbox 360 game that had been out for over a year. 343 Industries hasn't mentioned any such game-changing plans, but they are adding and rotating the War Games playlists each week. Last week 343 added SWAT to the mix, which for many was a great relief, and it's quickly become one of the most played playlists on War Games matchmaking.

Next week 343 will be adding Team Snipers, which will be playable on Longbow, Complex, Solace, Ragnarok, Vortex, Exile and Meltdown. Similarly to SWAT, players will be able to choose between predefined load outs, although so far secondary weapons have not been included.

A few other changes have also been applied to matchmaking, and although there isn't anything too interesting, these

Saints Row the Third
