A patch has just been introduced to the Metal Gear Online servers that adds a few changes. The biggest addition to the new patch is survival mode for MGO. The new survival mode has been talked about for a while now but it has finally made it's way into the game.
In survival mode, players can team up to make six-player squads that fight it out as long as they possibly can. A squad in survival mode is given 10 tries each week to try and accomplish a five win streak. If they get five wins in a row then they will be given different rewards, however, if their team loses before that five win streak, no rewards will be given. The 10 allotted attempts reset every Tuesday.
However, if players purchased the Cloaked in Silence expansion pack, they will be able to play survival mode as many times as they want each week. The pack included a few new maps and introduced Quiet as a playable character. Cloaked in Silence is available for $4.
The rest of the update included a number

To help encourage Halo 5 players to play regularly, 343 Industries has added a new feature that rewards daily playtime in Arena and Warzone.
Starting immediately, players are now able to earn two extra REQ packs every single day so long as they follow a couple of criteria. The first REQ pack can be earned by winning an Arena match, whilst the second REQ pack will be awarded to players for their first Warzone win of the day. If you expect to play Halo 5 daily and manage to have a winning game of both Warzone and Arena, you're essentially able to collect up to 14 free REQ packs each week.
A daily login bonus isn't a new concept - in fact, we've seen countless games offer similar features. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain offers daily login bonuses to players for example, although for this reward players only have to boot up the game. Forcing players to win games in both Arena and Warzone to earn their daily rewards is great because it encourages players to play well, at

It hasn't been that long since the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but Konami has already announced the first DLC pack for the game. The new DLC doesn't add any significant content to Metal Gear Solid V. Instead, the upcoming DLC for MGSV will simply add some basic cosmetic items which do not have any affect on the gameplay whatsoever.
The new DLC information has come straight from Konami themselves at a press event at Tokyo Games Show. Konami has mentioned that the first DLC will include a number of different outfits for Metal Gear Online, horse armor and a few other cosmetic items.
Players will also be able to equip themselves with the Stealth Suit from Metal Gear Solid 3. If you're feeling like dressing in style, you'll also be able to equip Snake with a full tuxedo. The horse armor on the other hand adds a small touch to the horses - it has not been mentioned whether the horse armor will have any effect in the game or not, besides the cosmetic changes.

In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Troy Baker voice acts for Ocelot, one of the games characters. Whilst Baker may not be the biggest game nerd in the world, he’s certainly played his fair share of games, and he’s got a lot to say about Metal Gear Solid V.
In an interview, Troy Baker revealed details about the size of Metal Gear Solid, suggesting that players will be really surprised at how different the game will be to previous titles in the franchise. "I'm anxious to see how people will look at this new Metal Gear, because it's really different. It fits perfectly within the rest of the franchise, and in same ways I think It's going to be really good, but I'm really curious to see what people think."
Troy Baker then went on to mention that it may even be the "biggest game" he has ever seen. "Just in terms of everything that you can do. Skyrim looks like an afternoon playpen next to it. It's massive. It's absolutely massive in what you can do."

Kiether Sutherland, the man behind 24's Jack Bauer, and the English voice actor for Big Boss in Hideo Kojima's upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5, (both the Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes) has apparently been doing some voice work for an upcoming Mortal Kombat game.
In an interview with IGN, Sutherland revealed that he had done a bit of additional voice acting work besides MGSV, and decided to mention that he had been involved with voice acting for a Mortal Kombat game.
Sutherland said "I did Mortal Kombat, and that's such a huge game, but it's so not like Metal Gear Solid 5." We've not yet seen Sutherland's acting in any released Mortal Kombat game, so although it's not 100% confirmed, it sounds as if NetherRealm Studios has got another MK game in the works.
Creative director for the Mortal Kombat series, Ed Boon, did confirm at one point in 2012 that the next title in the franchise would most likely be available for next gen consoles, so perhaps we can expect a new fighting

Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes is kind of like a prologue to the actual fifth installment of Metal Gear Solid, however, despite this, it is still being treated like a full blown game, and unless you buy the pack with access to both titles in, it will cost just as much as a full game too.
Unfortunately though, I don't think Ground Zeroes will be anywhere as good as the Phantom Pain is looking to be, and one of the reasons for this may be because the story mode on Ground Zeroes may end up being ridiculously short.
And by ridiculously short, I mean less than two hours short. Of course, it's hard to know whether this is the true average play time, or the time it would take to complete the game when you already know everything you need to do, and completely disregard all of the other cool things to explore in the world.
Some are saying that the game plays for about 2-5 hours on average, but according to Hideo Kojima's personal assistant, Ayoka, all of this information

Rockstar's new trailer certainly has created a buzz this week, and it seems that even gaming industry legends like Hideo Kojima feel the need to comment on the amazing new Grand Theft Auto 5 gameplay shown off.
Hideo Kojima, lead producer, game designer and director of the Metal Gear Solid video game series has taken to Twitter to express his awe for the brand new Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer.
Hideo Kojima said in two tweets that "GTA V" new trailer was awesome! This free control is future of the game, way higher than anywhere, makes me depress as matter fact. "I don't think our "V" can reach that level. Rockstar's team are the best. W/o question they will pull up the possibility of game."
Kojima has already previously been seen praising other Rockstar games like Red Dead Redemption, but he is certainly very impressed with what the Rockstar crew have managed to pull off this time round. Both Metal Gear Solid V and Grand Theft Auto V look to be some of the best games this
