Today Microsoft’s biggest title of the entire year was released and the company has provided a neat little reward for those of you who love to play Halo online. Those who are signed up to the Xbox Live Rewards program will be able to obtain various amounts of Microsoft Points depending on how long they play.

Gamers who play over 140 hours of online multiplayer will obtain 600 MSP while people who play for over 70 hours will obtain 300 MSP. Finally people who play a measly 35 hours can obtain 100 MSP. It is also worth noting that if you purchase 3000 MSP on Halo content you will receive 200 points back, 1500 points will net you 100 and if you manage to spend 3000 points and also play for 35 multiplayer hours then you will net 800 MSP back. This offer will end on November 30th.

It seems that the saying “Print is dead” is becoming truer than ever. Today it was revealed, ironically by Game Informer, that PlayStation: The Official Magazine will stop being published after this holiday issue is released.

This marks the second console specific magazine to be canceled this year as a few months ago it was announced that Nintendo Power would be shut down as well. Interestingly enough, Nintendo Power’s final issue will be in December so both magazines will likely be released, and therefore shut down, within a few weeks of each other.

As such, the company has released a developer diary which can be seen below which also contains a few segments of brand new gameplay footage. Currently Warner Brothers is targeting a release window of April 2013 for Injustice: Gods Among Us on the Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Mass Effect 3’s female Turians revealed for the first time

If you didn’t know already, EA is planning on releasing some Mass Effect 3 DLC in the form of Omega on November 27th for $15 or 1,200 MSP and some interesting images appeared online today thanks to All Games Beta. As you can see below and to the right, these are the first images of female Turians.

It is interesting to note that out of the multiple races contained in Mass Effect, this is the first time that Turian females have ever been shown. So perhaps the best choice for party members when you venture into Omega would be Garrus and Tali thanks to various interactions the two can have in the vanilla version of the game.

If you are one of the millions of people who went out and picked up a copy of Halo 4 today then you may be one of the millions of other players who are having issues connecting to the game’s multiplayer servers. A large number of users have begun complaining about a “server unavailable error,” which I myself am encountering, that prevents the player from reaching multiplayer matches.

Microsoft has stated that they are aware of the issue and that they are working on fixing these issues, but it is certainly unfortunate that many fans are unable to join games and play online with their friends.

In a rather strange turn of events, it seems that Dragon Ball Z Kai is actually going to continue past the Cell Saga and wrap up the series with the Majin Buu Saga. What makes this strange is the fact that according to the voice actress who provided this news, the show will only be released internationally and will not air in Japan.

As discovered first by Kanzenshuu, Mayumi Tanaka, the voice of Krillin in each Dragon Ball series, reported on her blog yesterday that she was recording more dialogue for Dragon Ball Z Kai and that she and other cast members were recording voice work for the scene where Goten and Trunks enter the adult competition of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

New Elite Game Announced

New Elite Game Announced

Frontier Entertainment have announced their kickstarter campaign to reinvigorate the Elite franchise of space simulators from the early 90s as Elite: Dangerous. This is something that many older generation gamers will appreciate as I’m sure a fair few of them have owned and enjoyed this title.

What sets Elite apart from its competition is that it uses procedural generation of galaxies, races and political systems to ensure the game is different and enjoyable on each approach. This means that two players may have entirely different gameplay experiences in the game.

The main objective in Elite is to accrue as much money as possible from the universe. The game has players beginning with one ship and 100 credits and they must take that and do the most that they can with it. This can come in the forms of trading, assassinations and more.

Be sure to check out the Kickstarter page here for more info.
