How do they stack up:
Dead or Alive 5 vs Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Dead or Alive 5 and TTT2 are both great games, and both the DOA and Tekken franchises have been going on for a long time now, so when it comes to comparing the two, it's hard to say one is better than the other. Both games have different play styles, which means both may be as equally great in their own ways, but you may find yourself leaning towards one game more than the other for various reasons, so I'll try to round up a few comparisons to help you out.

Environments
Both games include incredible graphics, and stunning arena visuals, but the fact that DOA's stages

Dead or Alive 5 Character Info

The fifth game in the fighting franchise, Dead or Alive 5 was released not too far back and although most fighting games lack story, the team at Tecmo have done a great job at portraying all of the character's personal tales within the base story of the game itself, giving players many reasons to choose their favorite fighting characters besides their 'profiles.'

So who have we gotten in the fifth installment to the main franchise?

Dead or Alive 5 includes 24 characters, many of which have been included in previous games. These will include the 20 starter characters listed below:

Brad Wong, Ayane, Bass, Bayman, Christie, Eliot, Hayate,

It seems like everyone has been waiting forever to witness the release of the next-gen consoles. Out of the three giants Nintendo has already revealed its next-gen console (the Wii U) which is expected to hit stores somewhere near fall of this year. Microsoft and Sony on the other hand are still very quiet.

It's like an old school standoff with Sony and Microsoft keeping a very close eye one other. I bet they are also keeping a watch on Nintendo but I highly doubt either company really sees Nintendo as a threat. We all know why. Nintendo makes amazing 1^st party titles but without proper 3^rd party titles it is going to be really hard for Nintendo to catch-up to the other two.

I guess Nintendo knows this fact well and based on this they decided to launch Wii U ahead of the competition. But according to new rumors Nintendo might not have the luxury of a huge gap anymore. A few GameStop employees have recently come forth to reveal that that either one or

Next Generation Of Consoles Are Close

You guys should have already read about the Brian Hall, General Manager of Windows Live, referring to the "new Xbox" during his interview with The Verge. Soon after that though Microsoft came in and said that his statement was taken out of context and that Hall was actually referring to the Xbox 360 which is about to get an update that would bring a host of new consumer experiences like Xbox Music, Videos, SmartGlass etc.

But in a surprising turn of events the President of EA Labels, Frank Gibeau, mentioned during his keynote address at the opening ceremony of Gamescom that he has actually SEEN both

New Xbox Rumor

Well it's about time isn't it? For Microsoft to reveal SOMETHING about the next gen Xbox right?

It seems that one of their employees thought we deserved to know more and thanks to him we get to hear the very first actual reference towards the new Xbox. In an interview with The Verge, Brian Hall (General Manager of Windows Live) literally mentioned that the "new Xbox" when listing the wide range of Microsoft products that could be incorporated with Windows 8.

This is what Hall said during his interview, "We've had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years. We obviously have Exchange, and Outlook, that people use at work. We just decided

Xbox 720 Dev Kits Leaked

There seems to be no end in sight for rumors surrounding the next-gen Xbox. Just a few days back a person calling himself DaE leaked several pictures of the "supposed" development kit for the next-gen Xbox.

The pictures first appeared on a forum for game developers where DaE attempted to sell the alleged development kit for $10,000. As expected no one actually paid any heed to this and labeled the whole event as another rumor and just another trying to create another hoax.

In an interesting turn of events Digital Foundry, a gaming tech site, has confirmed that these pictures are actually real. Digital Foundry has met with several developers

New downloadable bundles have been made available for the upcoming Assassin's Creed 3. The Gold Edition is currently available at the EU Playstation store and is priced at £109.99.

Both of these editions are priced at £84.99. All the versions include the extra mission "A Dangerous Secret" also available with the GAME - exclusive Special Edition.

To make matters more confusing there are more expensive collector's editions available. The top tier version,

Hello gamers! Today we are going to take a look at the highly anticipated addition to the Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed 3.

This is one game to be stoked about. Why you ask? Well let me list it out for you, (1) this installment has been in development for the longest time, a total of 3 years (2) the game is 1.5 times bigger than Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (3) it is powered by a new engine - Anvil Next, able to create dynamic and living landscapes filled with wildlife and people in a scale never before seen, and most importantly (4) we get a brand new assassin.

Our new assassin is a cross breed of British and Native American (Mohawk to be precise), who goes by the name of Connor. Like the assassins of the past, he brings his own unique combat style and equipment. Staying true to the era, the armor has been removed but, that is more than made up for by the addition of several new deadly tools; these include a Tomahawk, bow and arrow,

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's Main Opposition Includes a Russian Team Named After Russian Folklore

Revealed earlier this week, thanks to this article on Gaming Blend, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier reveals a bit of its story to us. The main focus of the story surrounds a Russian (possibly rogue) task force that has managed to wipe out an entire Ghost team with a bomb. Now, as the other team of Ghosts, you must track down the source of the bomb using advanced technology. All the signs point to a Russian group who call themselves Bodark.

Black Ops 2 is Now Officially Confirmed and Could Possibly Have the Return of Sgt. Frank Woods

Just very recently (thanks to Kotaku), Treyarch officially announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and confirmed all of its rumors. In addition, they added an image revealing content that hints at the return of what seems to be Sgt. Frank Woods from the first Black Ops game. As seen here on MP1st, there are almost canon-level hints
