The whole DLC debacle definitely leaves a lot of room for debate, but if you're patient with buying games you can often get great deals on DLC. In fact, most publishers are now releasing "complete editions" roughly a year after the game release - these versions often cost the same price as the original game but they're also packed with all of the game's DLC.
Ubisoft has been following this practice for a while, and their next compilation game set for release is Far Cry 4: Complete Edition.
As expected, Far Cry 4 Complete Edition will come with the full game and all five of the DLC expansions that were released as part of the game's season pass. The new complete edition will also have all of the extra missions, weapons and areas that may have been awarded to players in the past.
Far Cry 4 Complete Edition is set for release on June 19. So far we don't know whether we'll see a physical release or not. It's entirely possible that the Complete Edition may only be available

The first DLC pack for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare has finally arrived on the Xbox, and it can now be picked up for both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 as part of an early access deal. The Havoc DLC will also be released for the PC and the PlayStation consoles at some point in February.
The new Havoc DLC pack comes with a wide range of new content, including four brand new maps, and the anticipated exo zombies survival co-op mode.
The four maps included in the Havoc DLC are Sideshow, Core, Urban and Drift. Sideshow is a shanty town built within a cargo ship. Core is within a large drilling station, and Drift is a small sized snow town. Finally, Urban is a packed city area.
Before the Havoc DLC was officially released, two new weapons were also put out as part of the Havoc DLC pack. Season pass players were able to take hold of the weapons in the Havoc DLC earlier in the year. The weapons included a new laser AE4 Widowmaker rifle, and a direct variation of the same

What's that? Are you hearing things? Nope, Destiny will indeed be getting voice chat soon, so the only thing you'll be able to hear are other people's voices.
Voice chat is something that has been in online games for a long time, and it's odd that a co-operative experience like Destiny has forgone any kind of chat system. Luckily, Bungie have heard the player's requests, and they have responded in the best way possible.
The voice chat system planned for Destiny is well under development, and Bungie have revealed that a beta phase for it will be released next week.
To give player's the option of whether they want to talk to others or not, a toggle option will be provided so that they can keep voice chat off or turn it on in the upcoming update.
You will also be able to switch between public chat and fireteam chat so that you can block out any other players that may be in the area. It will be interesting to see if the public chat will be held across the entirety

Sony has teamed up with the devs behind the PlayStation exclusive to bring out a special limited edition PlayStation 3 with God of War skins on dual shock 3 controller included in the bundle.

New Assassins' Creed DLC
Ubisoft has recently revealed a trailer that shows Assassins' Creed in all its nature.
The new trailer shows off Ratonhnhake:ton and his new eagle abilities which will be usable in the new downloadable content pack.
At first I thought it a bit strange to see the assassin character transform into a ghost bird, but it's important to remember that the world you play in in Assassins' Creed 3 is in fact a virtual reality, meaning anything is quite possible.
I still personally think things like this, and the previous invisibility cloak almost ruin the immersion of the game, and I'd prefer to stick to a game that

Metal Gear Rising Free DLC
We all know the devs behind the Metal Gear games have always had a strong relationship with Sony and PlayStation, and it's only been till recently that they've given up their exclusivity and offered the game on platforms other than the PlayStation.
However, a new move by Konami has shown that their bond with the PlayStation platform is strong, which sees Sony offering DLC for free for a limited period of time.
The recently released VR Missions pack adds 30 missions to the game, and although it had a pretty low price before in terms of downloadable content, it is now accessible for free from the PlayStation network

Metal Gear 5 Will Be More open-world
According to Kojimi, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes will be revealed at GDC, giving us all more information on the game.
Although GDC is now less than two weeks away, those impatient can still find out a bit of information on the new Metal Gear Solid from an interview with Kojima from PlayStation.
The first thing that really interested me was that Kojima hopes for Ground Zeroes to be an immersive open world experience, and in fact, all his previous games he had hoped to create an open world environment, but due to the limit in hardware capabilities in the PlayStation 1, he has stuck to a leveled

New Turtle Beach Hardware
Turtle Beach has long been a well-known sponsor for many MLG players and leagues, and when crystal clear communication is relied on heavily in competitive team-based games, it makes sense that Turtle Beach would take the opportunity to flaunt their gear.
This year Turtle Beach aren't just flaunting their already released gear though, as they have announced a new range of headsets which will all reach the shelves later this year.
The new headsets have been named the P SEVEN for console, PC and Mac gamers, the Z SEVEN for just PC and Mac gamers, and the PX22 Universal Headset for PC and Mac gamers.
