The developers of the new Gears of War: Judgment have taken some bold steps to change up the overall multiplayer experience of the game, and although the game has had some decent improvements, many players of the title couldn't express enough about the small amount of maps available on launch.
However, it has just been announced that a new map pack, called the Call to Arms Map Pack will be released on April 23, and will include three new maps and a brand new multiplayer mode.
The Call to Arms map pack is the second Gears of War Judgment map pack, which according to the press release, explores the 'darker side' of the Gears universe.
The three new maps include Terminal, a map that includes close quarter combat within Locust infested terminals as the COG protect what was once Halvo Bay, Blood Drive, a map that mixes things up by placing the battle within a sanctuary and a hospital, and Boneyard, a deep and chilling grave yard.
The new maps have also been set up

After months of rumors, speculation and trickled out information about the game, Injustice: Gods among Us is now available in the US, Europe, and the UK, as Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment has now announced the UK launch of the DC super hero based game.
For those that don't know, Injustice: Gods among Us is a super hero based game that fits into the fighting game genre, intertwined into a brand new story created by the award winning NetherRealm Studios, in collaboration with DC Entertainment and Justin Gray and Kimmy Palmiotti, of which both are successful comic book writers.
Players will be able to play as many different characters in the DC universe and test out the powers, gadgetry, and other unique abilities of famous villains and heroes such as the Joker, Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, and so on.
This is certainly a good step for the fighting game genre as we've seen too many rehashed Tekken and Street Fighter games, and whilst these

Although we already know that Mad Studios revealed a few months back that Project CARS has been slated for a slightly unexpected 2014 release, the racing game developer has now revealed more information about the release date, and some of those looking forward to the game may be a little disappointed, as although many have expected the release to be very early 2014, it turns out it will be even later than that.
On Slightly Mad Studio's forum, a moderator has posted to confirm that Project CARS is currently slated for a quarter 2 2014 release, which means at the earliest, the Project CARS game will reach retail in April. The late release date for Project CARS could possibly mean that the game game may make it onto next generation consoles on top of current gen consoles like it was originally planned to be.
If you're not satisfied with the huge delay in Project CARS, you can check out a video by a YouTube user named 'ADRIAN1esp' on Youtube. The video shows the YouTube user's

CVG, a popular gaming news website has recently shown off a Batman Arkham Origins video-game stand that has been sent into their office. At first glance, there's nothing that intriguing to be taken in from the stand, however, the dark colored cardboard cutout does give us a little information about the villains that could make an appearance in the new game. At the bottom of the cutout near the game title and logo, there are plenty of familiar faces in a crowd of recognizable Batman villains.
Although it's only been officially confirmed that Deathstroke, The Penguin and Black Mask will make it into Arkham Origins, the promotional cutout clearly shows recognizable faces in the picture, such as the Joker, Bane, and Scarecrow.
Previously information has been given about the Black Masks' interaction with Batman in the game, stating that in the game, Black Mask puts out a hit on Batman's head, forcing Batman to fight it off against eight deadly assassins.
Does that mean that

Lost Planet 3 Delayed
Although Capcom originally planned for Lost Planet 3 to hit retail shelves this June, it has since been delayed and pushed even further back to August 27th, despite thousands of gamers pre-ordering the title.
The pushed back date was first swamped by other news by Capcom, and it's only now that Capcom have brought it to light, stating simply that "The release date for Lost Planet 3 has moved for business reasons."
This is not only poor marketing on Capcom's behalf, but also very punishing to fans that have had to already put up with their poor mistakes that have pushed back development on Lost Planet 3 and other
