FH3 December DLC Clues/Guesses
Its that time of the month for Forza Horizon 3 Fans to guess the possible upcoming cars to be released for the month of December. In true Turn10 fashion they gave us the most vague, yet almost exact on what we are getting. Of course none of these are confirmed these are just my personal speculations of what i believe May be included inside the FH3 December DLC. Clue 1 Car 1 It is of the past, does not exist in the present and speaks to the future (1981 Delorean DMC-12) Clue 1 Car 2 The Tifosi thought it was a ripoff. (1983-1988 Pontiac Fiero) Clue 1 Car 3 Being trendy can also be exciting. (2016 Tesla Model x) Clue 1 Car 4 If it looks like a race car and drives like a race car but, does that make it a race car? (2017 Chevy Corvette Grandsport) Clue 1 Car 5 Something is missing. (1989-1991 BMW Z1) Clue 1 Car 6 Representing a period of absolute dominance. (1930 Bugatti Type 35) Clue 1 Car 7 It was both the beginning and the end for this model. (Pontiac Aztek) Submit your guesses at the official post over on the Forza Motorsport forum.
Taking it to the Streets: New Hearthstone expansion released
Hearthstone, Blizzard’s uber-popular collectible card game, released its newest expansion yesterday, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan. The first expansion since Whispers of the Old Gods back in April, ‘Streets’ introduced new 132 cards, along with a completely new concept for the game – Tri-Class Cards. These neutral cards can be played by one of three classes, depending on which new “family” they fall under.

Check out the video below to see which legendaries, if any, I managed to add to my collection. Are you a Hearthstone fan like me?

Halo 5's Voices of War REQ Pack will include Spartan Buck, Yabda the Merciless, and 031 Exuberant Witness
UPDATE: A massive expansion to forge will be coming to Halo 5, this small teaser was found by a user. It gives us a good idea what could come such as race and a sand themed forge map. For the past week or so Halo fans have been speculating what this Voices of War REQ pack is about since it was leaked on the Xbox store. We knew it would contain voices from characters throughout the Halo series, but how would it work and is it free? These three new voices will work with Warzone, Warzone Firefight and Arena matches. You’ll get access to these three announcers Spartan Buck, Yabda the Merciless, and 031 Exuberant Witness. This is the first time you are going to have to pay for a new REQ pack, keep in mind this is for fun so you won’t miss out on anything besides the options to change announcers, it will cost $9.99. They also talked about the upcoming free update that will indeed include the Grenade Launcher from Halo: Reach. They stated “The full bounty of sweet, FREE, content is coming to an Xbox One or PC near you in a matter of days” This means there will be a good amount of forge is this upcoming update since it’s the only thing Halo 5 on PC. 343 will be posting more about this upcoming content update that’s supposedly going to be huge on Tuesday, December 6th.

We still have to wait for the NPD numbers for the month of November to see who really dominated the month in the United States.

On Black Friday the PS4 won handily at retail while Xbox One took the crown as far as online sales go. According to the report, Uncharted 4 PS4 bundle comes at the hands of the excellent Uncharted 4 PS4 bundle, which was available for as little as $212.

The Last Guardian has more pre-orders then Sony expected
It could be that the long wait is helping, but The Last Guardian is doing well so far in pre-orders, well enough to surpass Sony’s estimates. “I can’t comment with specific details, but I can say that pre-orders for The Last Guardian are exceeding expectations,” Joe Palmer told MCV. “We’ve seen a really positive response to the Collector’s Edition in particular, which despite its higher price point, proves there’s a huge appetite for the game” Sony didn’t want to hype the game up to let the fans down due to the time they had the game in development and obviously had people waiting for a while. “When you’re working on a game that has such incredibly high levels of expectation, it’s impossible not to consider the pressure of meeting player expectations” “We’ve tried to avoid fuelling the hype by playing on the fact that people have been waiting a long time for this. We want people to be excited because the game looks incredible, not because of its complicated development story” The Last Guardian has been in development since 2007 and was revealed at E3 2009 with a 2011 release date, but almost 10 years later it’s finally launching December 6th.
