Article One
Brand New Xbox due out next year....
The follow-up to the Xbox 360 is due out next year - and the machine will no longer have a disc drive, according to speculation on Microsoft Forums.
Rather this time games will download to the hi-tech new console - or gamers can carry them on a memory card.
There is currently no precise release date yet. However, the leak lends weight to the rumor that Microsoft may well show off the Xbox at the games industry conference E3 in Los Angeles in May.
The 2013 launch date is reportedly 'confirmed'.
Nintendo will show off its 'next-generation' Wii U at the same conference.
The new Wii U console is said to be twice as powerful as Xbox 360, and Nintendo has already shown off a tablet-style controller with a built-in screen.
Microsoft is reportedly briefing game industry partners with information about its own machine.
The lack of a disc drive is not hugely surprising - Microsoft already sells a huge amount of games via its Xbox Live internet service, and offers web-TV and downloadable films via services built into Xbox Live.
Article Two
Mass Effect 4 Revealed, new Xbox technology to be used.
It has been said that Mass Effect 4 will be a complete revitalization of the franchise in a plethora of ways. And will be built utilizing technology not of this current generation.
Following a recent blog post by BioWare Montreal Studio Director Yanick Roy, "Mass Effect 4" is well under development and its technology will come from Frostbite. Which means it will harness the powerful Frostbite 2 Engine.
The next game is already in production driven by the team based in Montreal. It is a goal that many members of the team have been working towards and are gratefully humbled to take on such an important responsibility.
To allow for a timely and precise transition, they will continue to be supported by the Edmonton studio through the game’s development, working with and learning from them on some critical initiatives.
BioWare Montreal Studio Director Yanick Roy also went on to sat that there was not much that could be revealed about the game just now but it will be enhanced by the systems and infrastructures that the Dragon Age III team has already developed.
I have done two articles for you so I hope that is okay.

Well i haven't done anything to fancy but i have wrote reviews for stuff like Mass Effect (the whole series) if it helps i work at a video game store called Play-N-Trade dealing mostly in retro and current gaming systems. I would like to be up front in saying PC is not my strong suit although i am getting back into PC gaming now that Elder Scrolls Online is coming out next year.

The Re-birth of Call of Duty
By: Dat Angry Asian
For years, many fans of the series would bypass the campaign and head right into multiplayer, no matter how much time and effort was paid to the single-player story. Those fans would be remiss to do the same with Black Ops 2. Treyarch has not only crafted a well-conceived story about a near-future assault on American soil but has also added branching story paths, allowing for multiple endings depending on your actions.
The level design also was changed for the better. The Call of Duty franchise is known for tight, corridor levels that usher you through shootout after shootout, but Black Ops 2 offers more wide-open areas, which allow for more flanking opportunities. Treyarch also added the ability to customize your loadout in the campaign. For multiplayer veterans, this will be second nature. But for those who have not dipped their toe into the online world, this will provide a bit of a taste of what is so compelling to the competitive portion of the game. Being able to choose your primary and secondary weapons, along with what attachments and gadgets allow you to complete missions in your preferred style. Overall, these changes have made the single-player campaign the best the series has ever produced.
But Treyarch didn't limit the upgrades to the campaign. The big addition to multiplayer is the Pick 10 system, which opens up what used to be a more stringent loadout system from past iterations. Each weapon, perk, attachment, grenade and gadget takes up one slot in this system, allowing for countless combinations and a level of customization no other Call of Duty has offered. Never use a secondary weapon? Ditch it and opt to take an extra attachment on your primary. Your tactical grenade just taking up space? With the addition of wild cards, you can now opt to take an additional perk into the battlefield.
Treyarch has also included League Play and CODcasting. The former helps Call of Duty novices and veterans play against similarly skilled players by separating competitors into different leagues. All of the weapons, attachments, gadgets and perks are unlocked, leveling the playing field. CODcasting gives the ability for someone to do play-by-play for a multiplayer match that is being streamed live. The announcer can view the game from any of the competitors' perspective and can use an overhead map to call out what each team is trying to accomplish. It's a major step toward legitimizing gaming as a spectator event.
