The Gaming news for the week:
- 343 Industries has announced that their Halo 4 soundtrack will be released on October 22nd. The soundtrack is composed by Neil Davidge instead of Martin O’Donnell who did all of the other soundtracks in the Halo series. Hopefully he can do as well as Martin did.
There are 2 editions of the soundtrack: The original Halo 4 Soundtrack and the Special Edition 2-Disc Box Set Halo 4 Soundtrack.
- The original soundtrack comes in to options, CD and Digital. Both comes with 15 tracks that are called: Awakening, Belly Of The Beast, Requiem, Legacy, Faithless, Nemesis, Haven, Ascendancy, Solace, To Galaxy, Immaterial, 117, Arrival, Revival, Green And Blue. The Digital version comes with the songs named above, a digital booklet, as well as six bonus remix tracks.
- The Halo 4 Special Edition 2-Disc Box Set, avaliable for preorder today for $75, comes with: the Soundtrack, the 14-track remix album, an Exclusive “Making of ‘Halo 4’ Music” DVD containing over 70 minutes of unique behind the scenes footage, interviews and recording sessions from Abbey Road, an Exclusive hardcover book on the “Making of ‘Halo 4’ Music” featuring production and composition notes from Neil Davidge plus exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and exclusive artwork images, an Exclusive 12” Neil Davidge signed art print, Exclusive 180g heavy weight 12” Vinyl Full color Picture Disk of Master Chief and Cortana in a uniquely designed Sleeve bag, an Exclusive Avatar T-Shirt download (Male & Female), and the first 5000 orders will all be individually numbered in a limited series and personalized by Neil Davidge.

- An interview with the Game Director of Assassin's Creed 3 gives us some more insight of the game:
- Dean “Rocket” Hall, creator of DayZ, says that they are hoping to have something on the market this year that will be something. It could be a really cheap alpha, but it will be something. If that doesn't happen, something is seriously wrong.
