Gearbox “not going to f*** around with you like Valve does”
Gearbox has had a great deal of success with their Borderlands franchise, and has several other IPs worth looking into as well. They're not going to let you think something like Borderlands 3 is on its way when it isn't though - apparently nothing like a certain other developer...

Thief Gets Mixed Reviews
Thief was supposed to be one of the first big new-gen titles, but it appears it's ended up underwhelming. A variety of major sites have finally released reviews ahead of the game's launch this week, and nobody was entirely happy with their time stalking the streets as master thief Garret.

Xbox One Gets a Price Drop
The Xbox One has been out only a few months, and Microsoft have already announced a pretty major price drop in the UK. All future consoles will be available to purchase for £399, and the first of these new consoles will contain a free copy of Titanfall. They know this is going to be a system seller, and they're trying to make it as tempting as possible to those on the fence.

You Don’t Suck This Bad at Mario
This is some of the most impressive gaming you'll see this year - it's also technically some of the worst. One YouTuber, NotEntirelySure, has gone out of his way to do the worst run at Mario possible - 500 points at the end of the game. What's most impressive is just how skilled he needed to be to pull this off. Prepare yourself for a few open-mouthed smiles as you watch.

Tony Hawk Returns In New Title
Tony Hawk has let slip that he's been doing some motion capture for an upcoming title in his long-running sports title. The famous boarder probably got a few angry calls once the news hit that he'd opened his mouth a little too early, but Activision later confirmed that a new title was in development and that more news would be shared at a later date.

Titanfall Xbox One Exclusive Because Sony was “Mum”
Titanfall is an Xbox One exclusive (unless you have an Xbox 360 or PC). That's been a source of quiet disappointment for a lot of Sony-focussed arcade shooter fans with PlayStation 4s. It should be presumed that the biggest deciding factor behind the whole thing would be money, and yet Neogaf used Famousmortimer offers a slightly different look of things. Apparently the reason Titanfall ended up on Xbox One is because Sony was too quiet about what their plans for this generation were going to be.

New Call of Duty: Ghosts Patch Released
A new patch for Call of Duty: Ghosts on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 has been released. The patch contains a variety of different updates and fixes that should make playing on either Sony console that much more enjoyable.

There are also a few Ghosts updates for each specific console, so if there's been a problem on your device of choice, it might be worth checking the bottom of the list to see if it's been fixed.

3DS Piracy Cartridge Bricks Console
Nintendo built the 3DS very, very well, and the biggest proof of that is that it's yet to be properly hacked. Last year saw the release of the Gateway, an R4-like device that allowed people with a console below a certain firmware to play downloaded games. It wasn't perfect, but it was piracy, and it looked for a while like this would end up as a perfect solution for those that wanted to play games without paying.
