Today, Ubisoft announced the Khyber Strike DLC pack, the third Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier DLC package. Khyber Strike will feature three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer game mode called “Takeover,” a new Guerrilla Mode co-op map, new achievements, and an increased level cap. Khyber Strike will be available for download on October 9th on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and October 10th for the Sony PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Khyber Strike DLC features:
· 3 new multiplayer maps
o Switchback: Step off the main road leading down into the city and into a maze of ancient buildings and narrow alleys. The twists and turns of the alleyways turn every corner into a close-quarters deathtrap.
o Palace: There's no time for reflection even in this magnificent relic. What once was a museum dedicated to showing the glories of the past is now a battlefield, with a massive courtyard at the heart of its contested ground.
o Transit: A Moscow metro station makes for close quarters and close-range combat. Trains pulling into and out of the station add to the danger as Ghosts and Bodark slug it out underground.
· 1 new multiplayer game mode: “Takeover”
o Similar to a classic team deathmatch, score points for your team by eliminating enemies. Tip the scales by taking control of the enemy’s objective and earn a score multiplier to your team. Defend your team’s objective to prevent the enemy from gaining the same advantage. Choose to split your team to defend and attack at the same time, or move as a group and overwhelm your enemy. When the mission ends, the team with highest score wins.
· 1 Guerrilla Mode map “Village” (4 players online / 2 players in local split screen)
o A peaceful country village finds itself transformed into a battleground, as fighting rages around its central bus station. Long alleyways that run between war-damaged buildings make a perfect hunting ground for snipers, and a shootout near the town's gas station could turn explosive.
· New Achievements
· Level cap increase of +10
Khyber Strike will be available for purchase for 800 Microsoft points on Xbox Live or £7.99 on the PlayStation Network.

It sounds like [Andrew] is trying to build a Pavlovian response into his behavior when it comes to online gaming. He wants to make sure he doesn’t miss out when all his friends are online, so he built this traffic signal to monitor Xbox Live activity. It will illuminate the lights, and drive the meters differently based on which of his friends are currently online. When the light’s green, he drops everything a grabs a controller.
The base of the light is a black project box. Inside you’ll find the Arduino compatible chip which drives the device mounted on a piece of protoboard. A WIZnet W5100 adds network connectivity at the low price of around $25. There is one problem with the setup. The API which [Andrew] found doesn’t use any authentication. This means that he can only see the public status of his friends; anyone who has set their online status set to private will always register as ‘online’. If you know of an existing Xbox Live API that would solve this issue we’d love to hear from you in the comments.

A US appeals court has rejected Motorola Mobility's patent injunction against Microsoft that could have resulted in a sales ban for the Xbox 360 in Germany.
As reported by Reuters, the injunction could have prevented the console giant from “offering, marketing, using or importing or possessing” some of its products in Germany.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco however has rejected that possibility, putting the ban on hold until it could be unanimously proven Microsoft had infringed Motorola's patents.
The court also ruled that it was able to put the injunction on hold as Microsoft had already been involved in a lawsuit with Motorola for breach of contract in the US.
The legal dispute centres on Motorola's patented technology ActiveSync, used by Microsoft in devices such as the Xbox 360 slim, Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.

The Mass Effect Trilogy includes all three games in the Mass Effect franchise, launching for Xbox 360 and PC on November 6 and at a later date for PS3, and it'll look something like that photo up there. The Trilogy will come with DLC as well, BioWare clarifies:
The PC version will get Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station for the firstMass Effect; Mass Effect 2 comes with the Cerberus Network, which includes Zaeed – The Price of Revenge, The Firewalker Pack, Cerberus Assault Gear, Arc Projector heavy weapon, and Normandy Crash site mission. Mass Effect 3includes the Online Pass with access to multiplayer.
Xbox 360 won't get Bring Down the Sky or Pinnacle Station on-disc, but both will be available as standalone DLC via Xbox Live. Mass Effect 2 gets the Cerberus Network and Mass Effect 3 the Online Pass.
Information about PS3 DLC is coming "soon." The original Mass Effect will launch as a digital standalone on PSN on the same day the Trilogy launches for PS3, for $15.
The Trilogy is compatible with other versions of the Mass Effect games, meaning players can transfer saves from previous games to the Trilogy games, and Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is playable between versions. Considering theTrilogy is Mass Effect repackaged for the holiday rush, it'd be more surprising if the games were truly a separate beast and weren't compatible with previous releases.
There's still no sign of the Trilogy coming to Wii U, which gets Mass Effect 3 on launch day, November 18 in the US. The Wii U version includes the Extended Cut ending and the From Ashes DLC.

Sales of video games leapt up 125 per cent last week on the back of three blockbuster releases.
In total £16.6m was taken at games stores for the week ending September 22nd, which is up almost £10m over the seven days previously. 586,077 games were sold in total, an increase of 70 per cent.
F1 2012, PES 2013 and Borderlands 2 were responsible for the surge in sales. The latter game was the clear No.1 and is the biggest selling game of the year so far.
“Borderlands 2’s success is a testament to Gearbox’s talent as a developer and to everyone at 2K who has brought this game to market,”said Take-Two Europe general manager Neil Ralley.
“It’s also wonderful to see so many gamers embracing a game that defies convention and challenges them to see beyond the average grey shooter. People who have bought it will be playing it for many, many hours.”
The market will almost certainly grow again when this week’s sales data comes in, which will include the launch sales of FIFA 13 and the new World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria.
