Going by the OUYA project update I received recently, the video game console will be available in certain stores when it's launched this June. The stores include Amazon , Best Buy , GameStop and Target . The console itself goes for $99.99 with an extra controller costing you $49.99.

Sony has announced that there will be a God Of War: Ascension demo dropping late February. If you didn't get a chance to try the game when it was bundled with the Total Recall Blu-ray then now's your chance to give it a whirl.  Personally I'm not too excited about this prequel to the God of War series. I think where God Of War 3 left off was a brilliant way to keep the Kratos story alive and I'm more interested in seeing where they go from there than this.

The wave based mode, Bloody Palace, that we've all come to love, and hate, from the Devil May Cry series will make its return in the upcoming reboot. Capcom and Ninja Theory have confirmed that Bloody Palace will be released as post-launch DLC and will be free of charge to boot for all you lovely DmC: Devil May Cry owners.  Four day and counting.

The new Xbox fall dashboard update has increased the size of the flash drive storage capacity to 32GB. A Microsoft spokesman had this to say about the size increase:  The more our customers use their profile and download digital content, the larger the file size necessary to store that content and move it between consoles gets. Therefore we increased the size of the memory to enable our customers to take more of their Xbox profile with them on the go.

Well another game has jumped aboard the delay train. Far Cry 3 which was scheduled to be released this September will now be released in December. Ubisoft has sited the need to create the best possible gameplay experience--which is the usually comment for every delayed game. They may say that but I wonder if this delay has to do with any feedback the may have received from their showing at E3 this year. In any case you can expect Far Cry 3 on December 4th in the US and November 29th in the UK.

Well according to PEGI, the European rating board, a piece of DLC entitled The Scorchers maybe coming to the game. Of course this is just speculation right now as Bethesda and Id Software haven't confirmed anything.

Bethesda has reported that beta keys for the Skyrim Dawnguard expansion has started to trickle out to people who applied.
