Rumored for some time now, the 'Pirate DLC' many have been expecting for Borderlands 2 has been released. Following gameplay footage of a list of new PS3 trophies leaked from Eurogamer, Gearbox has now confirmed that they will be releasing their 'Pirate DLC' this month.

"You can sense the pirate theme across the landscape, even though there's no water," said Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford. "It's all dried up. It feels more like Tatooine than an ocean. These bandits have really embraced the pirate lifestyle, and there's the legend of a treasure. That kicks off this whole adventure that the players can go on."

The new DLC, which has been set for release on October 16^th, follows the early release for the Mechromancer character just one week ago. The newest DLC will focus new gameplay on Captain Scarlett, a one eyed pirate queen. The DLC will add a new expansive desert and a bandit-filled town named Oasis.

Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 has been out for almost two weeks now, and the amount of content within the game is unbelievable. If you've managed to get your hands on the game, I'm sure you've probably been pleasantly swamped with side quests, customization options and many other aspects of the gameplay that make it so great and immersive, but there are some features in the game that aren't so easy to spot. We're talking about Easter eggs, baby.

Probably one of the most widely known Easter eggs in Borderlands 2 is the inclusion of an area dedicated to the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. A place called Caustic Caverns has an area sectioned off by blocks that

Halo 4 Controller

Hey there guys. I guess you guys already read the previous article about the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console Bundle. Since then it has been pulled down from the Microsoft Store so we haven't been able to get a better look at it. But, today I bring to you the close up image of the new Halo 4 UNSC Controller:

Looks cool right? As you can see, the blue led that is supposed to be integrated instead of the green can be seen from this picture. The d-pad is also supposed to be the twist d-pad. Also notice how the controller is translucent.

Halo 4 Controller and Console

Last week it was revealed from Microsoft's site that Microsoft will be releasing a Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 Console Bundle that comes with a Halo 4 controller. Although the pre-order page has been removed, the cat's already out of the bag. Although everyone is expecting that was part of Microsoft's plan.

Either way I guess more people were actually expecting a console bundle. I mean it's HALO, Microsoft HAD to do it. Here is what you get with this bundle

- Standard retail copy of Halo 4
- One-of-a-kind custom skinned

More Halo 4 Details

Microsoft has given a slideshow presentation to retailers this past week in order to get them up to speed with Halo 4. The slides confirmed some pretty great details we had been hearing rumors about. Halo 4 has been officially confirmed to contain:

- 10 new weapons
- 2 new vehicles along with many of the favorites from the past
- New class of enemies - Prometheans
- Master Chief will be fighting against a new race unlike anyone has ever seen before
- Cortana starts to break down due to her degrading AI. Would Master Chief be able to save his long time companion?

Unfortunately the slides contained no new details about

Halo 4 Multiplayer News

New information has surfaced surrounding the much anticipated Xbox exclusive, Halo 4. To be more precise, the information is regarding a new requirement that needs to be fulfilled in order to play Halo 4's multiplayer.

It seems that Halo 4's multiplayer requires a total of 8 GB of free space for an install, either in the form of extra space in an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external flash drive. However, Microsoft highly recommends the in-built hard drive over the external as the former is supposed to provide a more "optimal experience". I am guessing the optimal experience means less lag and load times?

This basically means

Limited Edition Halo 4

The Limited Edition for Halo 4 has been revealed for pre-order and is priced at $99.99. There will be no Legendary Edition for Halo 4 which in my opinion makes the purchase decision much simpler. Either we decide to get the standard retail game or the Limited Edition with the added bonuses.

Let's take a look at what has been confirmed to be included in the Limited Edition.

• War Games Map Packs - the competitive multiplayer modes in Halo 4 will be termed War Games. Owning the Limited Edition will give players access to all three map packs that will be released in the future, as soon as they are made
