Episode 2: Ghosts of Games Gone By

Sadly this week, no new major releases... BUT there is still gamer news to share!

Xbox 360's Dashboard is getting a big update on 12/6. New features will include cloud storage of your game saves and a new feature called Beacons. Beacons will allow you to post notes asking for advice or help from friends on games you're stuck on.

For the PS3 owners out there who bought "Battlefield 3", you have a free game coming! It was supposed to include a free copy of "Battlefield 1943" but was shipped without it. They are fixing this by giving them "Battlefield 1943" vouchers on 12/10.

Speaking of Playstation, new downloadable content this week include FULL VERSIONS of "Modern Warfare 2", the Sly Cooper trilogy, and "Voltron."

I hate to end a blog on a sad note, but here is a list of games that were supposed to launch this year but have been pushed back: "Kinect Star Wars" (no release date announced), "Mass Effect 3" (Mar. 6, 2012), "The Darkness II" (Feb. 7, 2012 tentative), "The Last Guardian" (no release date announced), "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier" (Mar. 6, 2012), "XCOM" (AFTER Mar. 2012), and "Spec Ops: The Line" (aiming for Spring but has been delayed since 2009!).

So there you go, now get out there and get your game on!
