BBC, you made a funny!

The gaming news for the week:

• Diablo 3 is the fastest selling PC game in the history of the world. That is kind of a given since gamers have been waiting for it for over 10 years. I am not a fan and I don't think I will ever play it. Sorry, its not my type of game.
• Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will be getting an update soon. In the upcoming 1.7.3 update the main thing that the game will be getting is pistons. 4J Studios is working on it now and they are also working on the 1.8 update or what what people are calling it, Adventure update. They also said that they will try and add as many things from the PC version as possible, but it will not be a direct port of the PC version. Which means that the PC version and the Xbox 360 edition will not end up to be the same game.
• There is a sale on tons of games that is lasting until June 1st. Because We May is in support of independent game developers. They have a sale on a lot of games on different platforms like iOS, Steam, and Android. Here is a video that helps explain a little bit of it:

• Minecraft has sold over 9.2 Million combined units on PC, Xbox 360, iOS, and Android devices. Though 6 Million of it came from the PC version.

•  The Xbox 720 is set to have in-game Skype powered video chat. This sounds cool, especially when you are playing in a massive party. MMO's will be played with a little bit more face time. You can see you friends reaction after you knife him in Halo.
• There have been a ton of leaked screenshots form Halo, including: Load outs, new weapons, and multiplayer maps. Head to this website and check them out: Leaked Halo 4 Screenshots
• BBC mistakes the USNC logo from Halo for the logo for the United Nations. Don't believe me? Check out the video below:
  
• John Beiswenger, the author that was suing Ubisoft for similarities between his book Link and the Assassin’s Creed franchise, has decided to drop the Lawsuit. This happened after the back lash from the fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise tormented him to no end. The game is still on its way to an October release and Ubisoft and to pay nothing.

Joel McHale kicks a guy in the balls for Nintendo!

The Video Game news for the week:

• Sony's Smash Bros ripoff is called PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and will be revealed during E3 this year. There is only one confirmation on who will be a character in it, Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. Gamers are hoping for Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series and Kratos from the God of War series. I guess they will have to wait till the reveal at E3 later this year.
  
  
• The logo for Black Ops 2 has been released. It also teases to when the game trailer will be released. Check it out below:
  If this is right, be expecting the trailer on here when it is released.

  It made me laugh and I liked it, but I still won't buy it.
  
  
• There are lists out on the web of the most anticipated games to be released this year.
  Here is the list of the most anticipated Xbox 360 titles:
• A lot of Screen shots from Halo 4 have been released. Since 18 screen shots wont fit on this blog here is a link to a website that has all 18: All Games Beta
  Here is some more details about what the game will offer:
• Spartan Ops will pit you and 3 other players against enemy forces in the game. 
• A new multiplayer game mode called Regicide has been announced. Players will fight against each other, with the top player being called the King. For every kill that the King gets, their bounty will go up. This makes their death worth a pretty penny for anyone who kills him.
