With TGS 2012 kicking off today Sony has started with sort of a bang by announcing a new PS3 Slim model which is now, wait for it – simmer! The new console is about 20 percent smaller and 25 percent light than the previous model and will come in the 250GB and 500GB variants for 249 Dollars and 299 Dollars respectively.
Sony also revealed a new bundle with the Uncharted GOTY Edition and 30 bucks in DUST 514 credits along with an exclusive Assassin’s Creed 3 bundle. The Uncharted 3 bundle will be 269 bucks while there is no price for the Assassin’s bundle – yet. Check the PS Blog for more details.

Well, I think some of us may have been wrong in predictive the WiiU price as Nintendo revealed it to be 299 Dollars for the 'Basic' system which will come in white and with 8GB of storage, while the Deluxe Edition will be equipped with 32GB of storage and come with a copy of Nintendoland.
Most outlets had predicted a 250 Dollar launch price but I guess that was just a dream. We did not hear anything about standalone controller pricing or confirmed launch dates for many of the '50 launch window' titles - which was described to be a 5 MONTH window.
The release date in the US will be November 18th while Europe will get the system on the 30th of the same month. Some notable titles were Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Lego City Undercover, Epic Mickey 2, WiiU exclusive BAYONETTA 2 and of course Mario Brothers U.

Many of you probably remember when EA and Insomniac announced the stealth based 4 player co-op shooter Overstrike last year at E3 with cinematic reveal trailer and the whole spiel. Well, since then we haven’t heard anything – at all.
Today EA revealed that the game has been renamed to Fuse and while it remains a 4 player co-op shooter, it has ditched its stealthy approach for a more action based style along with new alien-tech based weapons and a setting change.
The game is now slated for a March 2013 release on Xbox 360 and PS3 - this is the studios first multiplatform release.

It may not have been the Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement we have all be waiting for, but Kojima fans can still be happy to view 10 minutes of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes - a prologue to Metal Gear 5.

Rumors and Speculation - we love them don't we?
Today a so called 'report' surfaced via some information from a Wii U peripheral manufactured during the GameStop Expo. Whoops, right?
Peripheral manufacturer PDP has stated that 'the Wii U will be available November 18'. Of course no one has confirmed or denied anything, except for PDP of course.
We will update this story if we here more.

The original Race Driver Grid as it is called in Europe was launched in the summer of 2008 with fast paced and action packed racing. Fans have been demanding a follow up for years and years.
Codemasters was quiet for a very long time until it teased GRID 2 with a logo and a spinning tire. Finally, the game maker has revealed GRID 2 officially which also came with a ton of previews, detailing lots of cool features and some drastic changes.
The helmet cam or cockpit view has been removed since only 5 percent of players use it, in exchange for better frame rates and detail. The other notable change is the lack of assists, the game will not have all of the usual added help features we have come used to. This may annoy casual fans of the genre but this game is made by Brits who love racing, you won't find racing lines or break assists in GRID 2.
Expect GRID 2 to hit shelves sometime in 2013 on current generation hardware.

EA was promising Battlefield 4 Beta access by purchasing this year's Medal of Honor title. The ad has since been pulled.

Telltale Games has been producing its very successful version of a 'The Walking Dead' game on an episodic basis with the 3rd episode hitting Xbox LIVE, PSN and PC in 'mid-August', but that didn't keep Activision from revealing its game based on the popular zombie franchise.
Today IGN revealed that Activision will be publishing a first person action game based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show which will be developed by Terminal Reality who recently brought us Ghostbusters and Def Jam Rapstar.

The Walking Dead will revolve around Daryl Dixon and his brother Merle known from the TV show who in this game will fight their way to the promised safe haven of Atlanta.
The game will be released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC sometime in 2013. You can follow the game on its official page.

Supplies will be scarce and players will need to carefully manage food, ammunition and supplies as they make their way through the game. Daryl will encounter “a slew of other characters” along the way that can help or hurt him. Whether or not these characters accompany Daryl is completely up to the player and “represents just some of the major decisions that will constantly be made while fighting to survive.”
The game will be released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC sometime in 2013. You can follow the game on its official page.

Ubisoft announced last week a videogame based on The Expendables 2, the upcoming film from Lionsgate and Millenium Films.
Describes as the “ultimate elite mercenary shooter,” The Expendables 2 Videogame will be hitting PSN, XBLA and PC this summer.
The game will bring together Barney Ross, Gunner Jensen, Hale Caesar and Yin Yang to rescue an “extremely valuable, kidnapped billionaire.” The game actually concludes right where the new movie begins. You can also play co-op locally or online.
I’m really glad that more and more videogames based on upcoming movies are trying to stop recreating the movie’s plotline—other than maybe Spider-man 2, when has that ever worked out? Between this game which ends at the beginning of the film, and the Amazing Spider-man game which begins after the movie ends, it’s a good trend to see.

While I haven’t finished Max Payne 3 myself – I know, I KNOW – Rockstar has already announced the first downloadable content pack, which comes out July 3 for both PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360—the PC version launches July 17.
The pack includes three new maps for multiplayer including “areas from the game’s intense final chapters, plus a new weapon, a new item, a new multiplayer faction” and of course: Achievements and Trophies.
Since the Local Justice Pack was supposed to come out in June, Rockstar is making it available during the launch week for a discount—480 Microsoft Points of $5.99 on PSN/PC.
If you purchased the Max Payne 3 Rockstar Pass, however, it’s free of charge. You can still purchase that for 2400 Microsoft Points or $29.99 on PSN and PC.
