The Gears Of War 3 Season Pass finally gets its last piece of free downloadable, with Epic announcing that the Forces Of Nature DLC will arrive on 27 March. Still, the question is: just because it's the last piece of DLC covered by the Season Pass, does that mean no more DLC period for GoW 3? Surprisingly, Epic says not necessarily…

With the Xbox Live Arcade House Party now underway, this week's XBLA update brings just one new game to the table – Warp – while the Deal Of The Day focuses exclusively on Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Covert murderers, rejoice – you're finally getting the third instalment of the Assassin's Creed franchise you deserve, with Assassin's Creed 3 arriving at the end of October 2012. Good to see Ubisoft sneaking that date out through an investor conference call...

Call of Duty Elite members on Xbox Live will be pleased to hear that Infinity Ward has announced details of the next downloadable map, Overwatch, set to be released 21 February. The map sees players duke it out in a construction site on top of a New York City skyscraper, with a very real chance of falling to your death. As if you needed any more distractions from those damn quickscopers…

Bugs. Nobody likes them. And if they’re not crawling all over you in your sleep then they’re plaguing your games with all sorts of nastiness and oddities. That's why you might be happy to know that Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has finally received another patch in the form of the 1.4 update, sorting out a number of bugs and quest fixes in the process. And the peasants rejoiced! Well, until they found something else that was broken, that is…

It's a pretty awesome week on Xbox Live Arcade as two rather lovely titles – Gotham City Impostors and Shank 2 – arrive for download on top of The Simpsons Arcade Game that appeared slightly earlier than planned last Friday.

And the best part? They're all massively overpriced! Bah.

It may sound too good to be true, but the facts don't lie: anyone with a Silver Xbox Live account who downloads the Mass Effect 3 demo on 14 February will find that they've been upgraded to Gold status. Of course, there's a catch in that it only lasts for a short period of time, but it's better than a kick to the scrotum by Commander Shepard...

We all know how much you love your movies, but how about if we told you that you can now access a whole bunch of movies and television shows for free as long as you have a Gold subscription on Xbox Live? You’d say we’re crazy but we're not, thanks to the Crackle and CinemaNow video streaming apps now being available to download in the UK and US respectively.

Although Capcom's announcement about Dragon’s Dogma release date sees it pushed back to May, the good news is that there's a tempting incentive to buy it. What is it? Well, how about the chance to go hands-on with Resident Evil 6 a full 60 days before any other platform? Sounds pretty good to us…
