Borderlands 2 DLC

As well as confirming that Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt will indeed be a new DLC update next year, Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Games, has told fans that there will be a lot more content to follow in 2013.

Randy had used Twitter to give details on upcoming content, such as Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, and fans have responded eagerly.

"Sir Hammerlock has a grand adventure in store for us all in the deepest wilds of Pandora. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is really badass. Will be best BL2 DLC yet."

As well as new DLC missions and stories, new content for Borderlands 2 will help to keep maxed out players enjoying the game, whilst still offering new content for newer players as well. Around 15% of players are currently maxed out with at least one character in Borderlands 2, according to Gearbox Games, and Randy and the Borderlands 2 team want to act accordingly. 2013 will bring a higher level cap raise, and a possible

iOS Xbox Live

One of the big benefits to Windows Phone currently is the inclusion of its services into the Xbox Live ecosystem. Playing arcade games on your Windows mobile could gain you achievements just like you can on the Xbox 360 or certain Windows Live PC titles.

It seems Microsoft wants to offer more compatibility to their Xbox Live services, because it's now possible to earn achievements straight from an iPhone or an iPad. Although no announcement has been made regarding the unexpected addition to the iTunes app store, it's now possible to download Wordament for the iPhone and iPad, and gain Gamerscore and achievements from this game.

The game was previously released on Windows Phone and one of its main features includes 'cross-play' suggesting that it may just be a one-off title that offers achievement stats on devices other than the Windows brand.

In other news, Sony has planned to import their trophy system into the mobile SDK of their

Christmas Sales

Christmas marks the time for frantic last-minute shopping and frenzied retailers trying to push more and more customers to their 'winter season sales'. However, if you have a keen eye, you can usually find yourself quite a bargain amongst all of the chaos.

Xbox Live may be a place you'll be happy to find some decent digital sales in time for Christmas, and this is a perfect time to grab the games you haven't had the chance to get your hands on.

Microsoft has put on a sale offering a decent amount of games each day available for you to purchase at discounted prices. Although each day adds new items to the sale, you can still access games from previous days, and

Dead or Alive DLC

Since Dead or Alive 5's release, there have been constant DLC pack releases for the title. Unfortunately for some, most of these packs consist of nothing other than extra costumes for the characters within the game. If you do like being able to have more choice available in your virtual DoA wardrobe, then the new Santa pack 2 may appeal to you.

The new Santa pack actually comes in three different collections so that you can choose the characters you'd want most to wear the outfit, and not have to worry about spending the whole cost to get the costume available for all characters.

The new costume seems pretty generic for all characters, and whilst the male version varies slightly from the female version, both costumes remain the same regardless of the character wearing it.

The Christmas packs are a little confusing, so if you want to find a pack for a specific character, or find the best value to get hold of all costumes, here's

Street Fighter Update

Street Fighter X Tekken's community manager has taken to twitter to hype up the upcoming v2013 patch, giving details on content we may not have expected.

Community manager David Hinds has said that the new changes from the patch could make SFxT feel like a completely new game.

Although not many details have been given on what to expect from the v2013 patch, Hinds has given a bit of information on what sounds like a huge change in the combat mechanics of SFxT

"It's not just a rebalance, the mind games and pace of the game feels a lot different. Not only are the characters capable of new things, but also the players, enabling new strategies and faster paced matches."

Hinds seems to be directly quoting the combat system above, so although Street Fighter X Tekken may not look like a new game after x2013, it's as if Capcom wanted to make it feel like a new game, and most new in-game features will probably reflect this.

Dark Souls 2 info revealed

EDGE has dished out a huge amount of information on Dark Souls 2 after its surprising reveal at the VGAs.

Currently the game is around 25% complete, but there's still a lot of information to be picked up this early into development. Graphics-wise, Dark Souls 2 hopes to be as impressive as next-gen titles like Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313. The game won't be in Lordran this time round, but instead in a new area, with a similar size to the first game, although the area will be a lot denser, with more areas of interest.

There will be a lot of work going into the action elements of the game, according to Tomoyo

Next Gen Xbox Info

Next gen consoles are coming, there's no doubt about it. When though, is another question. The Wii U has managed to steal the show this year, similarly to the original Wii's release, but what we’re really waiting for is word of the big boys' new consoles. Both Sony and Microsoft have sent out dev kits of their new consoles, although word of what they contain and what each product consists of has been a closely kept secret.

Little to no news has emerged regarding the PlayStation 4 as of now; however, there has been a fair amount of speculation regarding the Xbox 720.

First off, is the name of the console; at first the new console was believed

Nuketown Zombies Map Pack Available!

If you already own, or are considering purchasing the Black Ops 2 season pass, you may want to check out the bonus map Treyarch and Activision are giving with the pass.

Previously only available to Collector's Edition owners, the Zombie Nuketown map will now be available for all Season Pass holders as well. The map is located within the Nuketown area which has been seen before in Black Ops 1. The level has been made for co-op play, and puts you in control of a group of well-equipped scientists wearing radioactive suits. The trailer for the map also shows destroyed buildings and access

Rage DLC Info

Although most of Bethesda's attention right now is expected to be on Skyrim DLC, and fixing the issues for PS3 players, Bethesda have still managed to release extra content for their other games, and in this instance, Rage.

It's been a little over two years since Rage was released, so it is likely most players have finished the game and have possibly sold it by now, but to those who have held onto it since then, you may want to check out the new DLC released just this week.

The new DLC, The Scorchers, costs $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points depending on platform, and is available for Xbox PS3 and PC.

The Scorchers will add lots of

Crysis 3 Info

Great graphics and high definition gameplay adds to immersion, and Crytek seem to think that this is a large selling point.

Crysis 2 was renowned to be one of the most graphically pleasing games in its time, and Crytek said Crysis 3 will be no different. In fact, Crytek have even gone so far to state that their new FPS will be more graphically impressive than any game released so far, and any other game releases for the next two years after that.

That's a big statement to make, but Cervat Yerli, chief executive of Crytek seems pretty confident with it.

In comparison to Epic Game’s Unreal Engine 4, Crysis' engine does
