Call of Duty: Ghosts - Cheapest Launch Day Prices, Special Offers & Promotions [UK Summary]

Just in case you didn't know, it's that time of the year when a new Call of Duty title is launched and this time around it's Ghosts. The chances are if you're reading this article, you already know the purpose of it but for those that might not have purchased a CoD title at launch, basically every year there is usually one or two deals that certain retailers have on the game. Of course there is no guarantee that there will be any special offers or money saving deals at all but if you're planning to get a copy on the launch day anyway, there's no harm in keeping an eye out. Okay, so now we're all up to speed on what this article is about, let's get down to business, below you will find a list of the best prices that I've seen so far. Please not that while all the following prices are correct at the time of posting, they may (and most probably will) change as the day goes on but I will try my best to keep the list up to speed.

Uncharted 3 Two Year Anniversary Multiplayer Patch and Free Maps For Everyone!

Hey readers, first off, apologies for not posting much in the last couple months, I've been rather busy with other stuff and to be honest, there hasn't been much news for me to talk about. That''ll probably change in the coming weeks, what with Call of Duty: Ghosts launching tomorrow and various other titles of interest starting to pick up production pace. Anyway, down to business, as you may or may not have realised, last week was the two year anniversary of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (where has the time gone eh?) and to celebrate, the crew over at Naughty Dog have released a big patch for multiplayer and at the same time, made all multiplayer maps available to everyone for free! In addition to all that, they've also released one brand new map 'Dry Docks' (again, free). For those who avidly followed teaser trailers before the games release, you might recall the name, well it was a map that was going to be included in the retail version but was actually cut for whatever reason before launch. Naughty Dog released a short video to announce all the maps becoming available for free, which I've embedded below for you to check out. As well as the video, I've also included the full list of changes that come into affect with the patch, most of them are warmly welcomed but there are a couple that raises eyebrows and as per usual I'll discuss this at the end of the article in my review section, enjoy.

Call of Duty: Ghosts - New Campaign Trailer Released [Video Inside]

A short while ago Infinity Ward released a brand new campaign trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts and what a trailer it is! In the initial reveal trailer a couple months ago we were told very little about how the US was crippled and eventually invaded by foreign nations, well this trailer serves to address some of those questions by providing a bit more background information, not just the attack itself but also the characters we'll be taking control of. In addition to this, the trailer highlights several more potential story missions, so if you're trying to avoid any and all spoilers, however minor, you might want to give the trailer a miss. However, for those that want to lap up everything and anything, I've embedded the video below for your viewing pleasure:

Yesterday Treyarch released multiplayer patch 1.14 for Black Ops 2 (PS3 and Xbox 360), it wasn't a very long list of changes and to be honest, most of the issues I didn't even know were occurring lol but I'm glad they're keeping their eyes on the ball and making sure everything is ship shape. There's handful of minor multiplayer glitches that have been nullified but the rest of the changes relate to the various zombies maps. I've posted the entire list below for your viewing pleasure:

Late last night Sony made the first move in announcing launch date details for the next generation of gaming consoles, it's been common knowledge for sometime that both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One would be on sale in the run up to Christmas of this year but until now, neither has provided a concrete date. Sony have stated that the PS4 will go on sale from the 15th November in North America and from the 29th November in Europe, these are currently the only two dates confirmed but I assume in the coming months, we'll get more details for other countries/continents.
