SPAAAAAACE!!!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Rocksteady has announced that their Batman game will not be a sequel. They have announced that the game will be a prequel to Arkham Asylum and will feature the Justice League. This could introduce spin off games! Man, am I hoping for a good Superman Game. The sad news is that Paul Dini will not be writting the story for the game. He did such an amazing job on the first 2, I would love to see how he would have added the Justice league to the story.
• Ubisoft has announced that Assassins Creed 3 will have Season Pass DLC on Xbox 360. I dont know if you have preordered it already, but I did. What ever DLC that does not come with my preorder I will be buying. The game is not complete until you play ever portion of it.
• Conan O'Brien's reviews Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition:
  
• 343 Industries has announced that they will be releasing a Halo 4 Limited Edition game. Here is what is included in the box that has been announced:

• Valve's Gabe Newell calls Windows 8 a Catastrophe. Blizzard even agrees with him. Didn't I say before that Windows 8 was going to be bad and be another Vista? I believe I did.
• Far Cry 3 Co-Op trailer:
  
  This might be just enough to make me buy the game.
• A Virtual Reality Headset called Oculus Rift:

Halo 4 will not have a beta?!

The Gaming news for the week:

• George Washington gets a makeover and a Pepper gun in BioShock Infinite. Don't believe me, check out the video below:
  
  
  
• Assassins Creed 3 is the perfect place for new players of the series to start. Developers say that if you haven't played the previous 4 games you are going to miss anything since the game is about a new assassin. I am happy to hear that since I  don't know if I will be able to catch up on the series before the new one is released this October.
  
  
• Madden NFL 13 is starting their cover athlete vote. It is going to be the largest one yet. They are letting players vote for a Offensive and a Defensive players from each team. That adds up to 64 people to vote on. Below is the plays of each team that can be voted on:
  
  Who do you think will win the Honor to be on the cover of the game and take on the famed Madden curse?
  
  
• For those of you who are waiting for a beta for Halo 4, you better stop waiting.  Halo Franchise Development Director Frank O’Connor says that they are not wasting anytime working  on a beta. They want the game to be the best it possibly can be so they are spending the time it would take them to make a beta and just using that time to make the game better. He also says that you can make your own custom armor,  The Covenant will return(but they are the least of your problems), and they have not decided on a specific release date yet.
  
  
• Rovio Mobile is getting smart with their advertisement of Angry Birds Space. Check out their latest NASA announcement below:
  
  They are also talking about releasing the game on the recently popular PlayStation Vita.
