New details have emerged about a planned update that will add a bit more customization to the Xbox One dashboard.

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has recently confirmed that the Xbox One will soon be getting new options for custom backgrounds, along with talking about other plans for the platform, in a new TiC podcast.

During the podcast, Phil Spencer mentioned that backgrounds, screenshots and themes will be coming to the Xbox One soon, however Spencer failed to mentioned exactly when this would be.

When asked about the Xbox One UI and the likelihood of seeing background and profile pic customization options, Phil Spencer replied with, "You will see it, I'll announce it here - I was told themes and background pics are something we're working on, and screenshots -- people beat me up about screenshots - I know people like to customize the look of their dashboard, we're going to deliver them, I can't give you a when yet."

By the sounds of it, a lot more UI customization

Borderlands 2 Exploit

If you're playing Borderlands 2 with people you don't know on Xbox Live, you may want to be careful. Hackers have found a way into Borderlands 2 code and have come across a 'hardcore mode' left in the code within the game. If you die with hardcore mode activated, your character data would be completely wiped from the game. Hardcore mode creates extra tension by making gameplay much more risky, forcing players to think twice about their actions in-game. However, the exploit in code has opened up possibilities for other players without the hardcore mode to lose their progress when playing with others who have the code activated.

Black Ops 2 Leaks

It seems none of the big shooters this year can escape the horde of leaked gameplay and pre-release day copies getting into the hands of a few sneaky players, and following from the huge surge of leaked gameplay of Halo 4 after thousands of players with JTAG'ed Xboxes got their hands on a digital copy of the game, players have now uploaded tons of footage of Black Ops 2 for the whole world to see.

Although no one is quite sure how widespread the pre-release day copies have reached, a few websites have stated that most leaked content has come from Slovakia. Players have uploaded images and gameplay of the menus and features in-game.

Rumor Mill: Modern Warfare 4

There's been a Call of Duty game practically every year thanks to Treyarch and Infinity Ward, and because of the franchise's huge success, it's likely that there will continue to be a new Call of Duty release every year for quite a few years to come. It seems strange to be talking about Infinity Ward's next Call of Duty when Treyarch's Black Ops 2 isn't even on sale yet, but if there is to be a COD game next year, now would seem a likely time for Treyarch to start calling out to more talent for the development of the game, such as voice actors or sound testers.

According to Bill Murray, a voice actor for the hugely

Warfighter: Manhunt Map Pack

If you pre-ordered the limited edition of MOH: Warfighter, then you will already have access to the new Manhunt map pack, but if you purchased the standard edition, the new map pack will cost $9.99.

Manhunt, or the Thirty Dark Days DLC, lets players experience the tension soldiers had in the hunt for Bin Laden, focusing on two maps where Bin Laden had previously visited. Darra Gun Market and Chitral Compound are the two new maps located in Pakistan, and will feature dusty back alleys and worn-down buildings. Although you won't actually find Bin Laden, the new maps give the players the image of a pursuit through the two areas as the

Halo 4 Info

One of the most frustrating things to happen in matchmaking in previous Halo games is when the rest of your team decides to quit. In a game like big team battle, it may not seem like much of a deal, but after one or two people quit, usually a lot of others will follow, and it makes it boring and extremely difficult to ever stand a chance against the enemy team, especially in smaller games.

343 are hoping to fix this by allowing players to join other games in progress. This will make matchmaking times significantly shorter whilst making sure no one has an unfair advantage against the opposing team.

There have also been a few other changes

Grand Theft Auto 5 Info

After a whole year since the first announcement trailer of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar had revealed that they were planning to release a brand new trailer for November 1^st, which would have most likely revealed the release date, as well as being the gate opener for GTA 5 pre-orders. However, Rockstar have announced that they will have to delay the trailer, as hurricane Sandy has cut the power out in New York, which is where the office that was working on the trailer is based.

Pre-orders were planned to be available on November 5^th, and the release day was planned for spring 2013. Although

New Black Ops 2 Info

So far we've been given quite a fair bit of info on the new Black Ops, but there are still features that have been left in the shadows. However, a few extra details have been unearthed by David Vonderhaar, the game director for Black Ops 2, with the most interesting one giving us an insight into the new games emblem editor.

David has tweeted a snippet of the new emblem editor screen (shown above) and although it doesn't reveal much, along with the previous rumors from Charlie Intel, who were lucky enough to play the game with Treyarch, we can begin to get a pretty clear picture of what the emblem editor will be like.

Borderlands 2 Custom Halloween Gear

To celebrate Halloween, Gearbox, developers of the Borderlands series, are giving out SHiFT codes for Borderlands 2 which will give players cool new Halloween skins and heads for each of the classes.

The special SHiFT codes are only usable for a limited time only, and will need to be entered in the extras menu from the title screen. All five classes have codes for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and the codes have an infinite use which means you can use them even if others have used them before you.

The costumes follow a rather consistent style with each character, based on a bumble bee, the new Halloween
