As the days go by more information about Halo 4 is slowly coming out of Microsoft. We’ve already heard about the special editions that will be available for those who want to drop $100 when Halo 4 is released and now they have revealed what fans of the series can expect out of Halo 4’s multiplayer.

Through weekly episodes, players will be able to take part in Spartan Ops. These Spartan Ops tell the story of the above pictured UNSC Infinity. The UNSC Infinity also happens to be Halo 4’s multiplayer hub. The story of the UNSC Infinity will center around the “UNSC Infinity leaders and crew, and a new team of Spartans – Majestic Squad.” These episodes will offer new missions that allow up to four players to see “corners of Requiem in these objective-based missions, and help uncover the secrets of the mysterious Forerunner world.”

War Games will be Halo 4’s competitive multiplayer mode and in this mode players will be able to customize their Spartan’s armor as well as enable “combat enhancements” which will alter their character to better fit their play style, offering a Halo experience unlike anything players have had before.

Incase has released their new Heathered Snap Case for the iPhone 4/4s today. Taking their classic Snap Case design, Incase added heathered fabric to provide a wonderful feel to the case. The Snap Case is a hard shell case designed to be one of the lightest weight cases on the market.

The Heathered Snap Case is part of the Heathered collection of bags available from Incase featuring the same dark grey materials. The Heathered Snap Case is available in pink or aqua dots and costs $39.95.

There’s a reason why Lollipop Chainsaw doesn’t come with a life-size Juliet

We’ve seen plenty of special collector’s editions, in fact we reported about one earlier today. These collector’s editions contain little bonuses to reward those who want to put a little bit of extra money down on their favorite franchise. However there has yet to be a special edition of Lollipop Chainsaw announced yet.

Perhaps that is a good thing, considering Grasshopper Manufacture and Warner Brothers would love to include a life-size robotic version of Juliet in every collector’s edition of the game. There is a good reason though why this won’t happen and you can see it below with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor. So for now it may be best to just pre-order the game as it is so when it comes out on June 12th you’ll enjoy a nice virtual Juliet instead of a robotic chainsaw wielding one.

If, for whatever reason, you haven’t picked up Rayman Origins on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation Vita and even the PC then perhaps you may want to play it on the last possible platform the game could appear on, the Nintendo 3DS. After being delayed multiple times and now falling over half a year past the original release date of the console version, Rayman Origins finally has a release date.

Ubisoft revealed today that the game will be available in North America on June 5th and June 8th in Europe. Those curious about the game can try out a demo n the eShop, but it is certainly strange that anyone who would have wanted to play the game would have waited so long to do so. Either way, a launch trailer was also released and can be seen below.

Diablo 3 auction house delayed for unknown length of time

If you are a fan of Diablo 3 then you most likely know that Blizzard has been handling the release of this huge title rather badly, with pre-purchasers having to wait until the game landed on store shelves, multiple bugs and errors and even the servers going down continuously. Now it seems that Blizzard can’t even manage to keep its promises when it comes to features planned for the game.

The auction house which was meant to be made available on May 22nd has now been delayed as Blizzard community manager Micah “Bashiok” Whipple revealed on the Blizzard forums. The main reason for the delay is thanks to the fact that Blizzard doesn’t know how to run its own servers and as such they have had to delay the auction house’s launch date for the unforeseeable future.

While the Japanese may have to wait until June 28th it seems that North American gamers will be able to take the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection with them on the Vita sooner than anyone else. Today Konami revealed that the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection which contains the HD upgraded Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 will be released on June 12.

As previously mentioned, those who have the PlayStation 3 version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be able to transfer their save data over to the PS Vita version of the game. Another new addition is the use of touchscreen controls to make use of the Vita’s capabilities. It is worth noting that Peace Walker HD is not included in this collection like it was on the console version.

Take part in a two week beta for Far Cry 3 this Summer

Perhaps in an effort to stimulate the sales for the soon to be released Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, any GameStop PowerUp Rewards member who purchases said game will receive a code that will allow them to participate in a closed multiplayer beta for Far Cry 3.

This beta was announced by Ubisoft earlier today and will last for two weeks sometime this Summer. Currently the only platforms which gamers will be able to access the beta on are the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 so any PC gamers will be out of luck. If for some reason you don’t feel like picking up Ghost Recon then Ubisoft is going to be offering 500 beta codes on their Facebook so perhaps it would be best to stop over there and take a look.

Fans of a video game series will sometimes be willing to shell out a ton of cash to try and receive all of the little goodies that a video game publisher releases in their special editions and Borderlands 2 fans will have two flavors to choose from when the game is released on September 18th in North America and September 21st in Australia.

The two special editions revealed today are the Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Collector’s Edition which will run you $100 in the US or $120 in Australia and provide you with a Marcus Kincaid bobblehead, an art book, a sticker set, Pandora map, digital comic download code and some bonus in-game content.

Those with a bit more money to spend can drop a cool $150 in the US and $160 for those in Australia on the Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition which contains everything you can see above, the contents of the Deluxe Vault edition as well as a scaled replica of red loot chest, steel book case, “Creatures of Pandora” ID chart, lithograph postcards, Sir Hammerlock’s field notes, Pandora cloth map, and a numbered certificate of authenticity.

It is also worth noting that anyone who pre-orders the game will be given access to the Borderlands 2 Premier Club which will reward members with a Golden Key, Gearbox Gun Pack, Vault Hunter’s Relic and access to the Mechromancer class when it is released. So Borderlands 2 fans, how much money are you willing to drop on this title?

Guillermo Del Toro’s inSane is still alive says THQ

While quite a few people have probably forgotten about THQ’s project with Guillermo Del Toro where they were planning to create a trilogy of games called inSane, there are still a few out there curious about the game. These curious people were especially concerned about the game’s status considering THQ has been losing quite a bit of money lately and has had to let go a number of people.

However these people can put their concerns to rest because THQ’s Executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson stated on his Twitter that inSane “is not canceled.” While this is good news for gamers hoping to eventually see the title come to store shelves, it is worth noting that even when the game was announced it was set for a 2013 release date, meaning there is still plenty of time for things to go wrong.

News about a million walking dead around the world may be horrific news for most people, but not Telltale Games. Today the company revealed that their first episode of The Walking Dead video game series has already been downloaded one million times across the Xbox Live, Steam and PSN networks. This is quite a large accomplishment, especially since this is only the first of five episodes.

The Walking Dead fanbase has obviously taken quite a liking to the critically acclaimed series, as Telltale has said that this is their “fastest selling game series to date.” The second episode of The Walking Dead is set to be released in June, and it will be curious to see if this episode will continue to reach impressive sales numbers.
