A new Tetris mobile game is coming to iOS and Android devices, bringing the world’s most popular video game of all-time to players on the go.
The game is launching in a basic mode, letting players get in on one mode and five different skins.

The game is developed by N3twork, and they say that an online leaderboard for the game will also be launched in the near future.
Speaking about the game N3twork’s CEO Neil Young noted: “We’re launching Tetris with a traditional solo gameplay mode, but we want fans to know that we’ve got so much more in store for them. This is just the foundation of an incredible Tetris app experience we’re building at N3twork.”

Violent Video Games
Vice President Joe Biden and his task force will meet with video game representatives and publishers about violent video games, Reuters reports.
Biden and his task force has held meetings with many gun advocate groups, victims of gun violence and gun owners this week.
The task force along with Biden will use this information to give a decision about a piece of legislation banning assault rifles and the role of violent video games and movies has to do with tragedies like the Newtown, Connecticut incident.
Biden will give a decision on what to do later this month in Congress.
Do you think violent video games result in these tragedies?

Sony may show PS4 to Publishers
There's no doubt about it; the next generation is coming. When and where though is a subject that little know about. Sony however have planned a two-day event following the annual 'Destination PlayStation,' a conference held by PlayStation's US arm for third party publishers and a few retailers that could potentially sell upcoming products. The annual event has been known in the past to reveal big new products behind Sony's PlayStation range behind closed doors.
This event happens to be just a few weeks before E3, an event where Sony may or may not reveal details on their latest console.
Although this year's Destination PlayStation may focus on other products such as the Vita,

Dead or Alive Streaming
Earlier this year, Treyarch showed the world a new innovative feature for Black Ops 2, a video recording tool built in-game that could upload video content straight to YouTube via your console. It seems Koei Tecmo has taken a hint and have now released details on their new video uploader tool to be released with Dead or Alive's version 1.03 patch.
A preview by game director Yohei Shimbori was uploaded to Tecmo's official YouTube channel, showing the new feature in action. The video quality was not the best, but for a feature that uploads a decently sized video for free to your account, it's not surprising.
Another thing to note is that the new feature only allows YouTube uploading via the PS3, however both the PS3 and Xbox 360 can make use of the uploaded via Facebook.
For professional and hobbyist gamers who like to record their gameplay and upload to the internet, this new tool is nothing special, especially due to resolution

Ghost Recon Movie
We all know that Ubisoft has become one of the biggest and most multi-talented successful developers and publisher of this generation, bringing us games like Splinter Cell, Assassins' Creed, and of course Ghost Recon.
The big games company is now planning to move their assets into Hollywood, with plans of producing a Ghost Recon movie. This follows on from the news of a Splinter Cell and Assassins' Creed movie release as well.
LA Times had recently reported that Jean-Julien Baronnet has been creating a pitch for Ghost Recon, hoping to get some attention within the media industry, and pull in a reputable Hollywood production company to help promote the title.
There aren't any details on how real the Ghost Recon movie is, or what the actual plotline for it could be, but judging by the video game franchise, it'll include a lot of action scenes and a lot of highly geared up future soldiers.
Video game movies have never really

New Doom
It happened before with the current generation: a classic arcade shooter was remade and redefined for the Xbox, and it could happen again. Doom 3 didn't gain as much success as expected though, particularly for the reason that the arcade shooter style of the game has now become a rather 'niche' genre. However, that hasn't stopped many getting excited for what could possibly turn out to be the next in the series.
There's two causes for the rumors to spread about Doom 4, one of which was located on Lead Programmer of ID Software, Brian Hill's LinkedIn profile stated that he was 'the lead behind Doom 4,' giving fans a huge hint that the fourth installment is coming, however it was unknown for what platform, and when.
Recently, Brian Hill took to his Twitter to send out a tweet that Doom fans had also picked apart as something regarding development for the fourth Doom game.
"Currently home taking care of a new baby girl. When I get back, I'll

Final Skyrim DLC?
Rumors have started to spread, and they're related to yet another DLC title release for Skyrim, a game that has now been over-packed with extra content and features. Recent activity from Zenimax, Bethesda's mother company, hints at some kind of Redguard related release.
For two years now, Zenimax has been renewing a trademark for the word 'Redguard' with the description of a "downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices" so although it's not certain that a Redguard DLC will hit in the future, a lot of Skyrim fans believe this to be the case, and following on from Bethesda's December 2012 statement, which said they had 'more stuff' on the way for all players in 2013, it seems to make a lot of sense.
Other possibilities could be that the Redguard related content could be for a new game ready for next-gen consoles, or even something tied to Elder Scrolls Online, an upcoming MMO developed by Zenimax software.

MMO Shooter
MMOs are slowly inching their way towards the console market, and although games such as Dust 514 are far from traditional MMOs like World of Warcraft, it shows that the social aspects and chilled competitive nature behind the genre appeal to a large audience.
Like Dust 514, Defiance is a FPS shooter with RPG elements thrown into a huge world where players can play with and against each other.
Players can sign up to the first Beta event over at the developers' website, although positions are limited so it's more than possible that many players will miss out this time round.
Also, the first Beta event is only available to PC players, however the game is making its way to PS3 and Xbox 360 as well, but
