Originally stemming as nothing more than a rumor, Kotaku has recently confirmed that we will infact see a Master Chief inspired armour set bundled as an extra with the Collector’s Edition of Fable 2.

There’s currently no word if this is actually a Bungie endorsed cameo, but considering the subtle Master Chiefness, I’d say probably not.

As announced earlier today, Fable 2 will hit stores stateside October 25th as an Xbox 360 exclusive.

With Blizzard just announcing Diablo III days ago, it only makes sense that a leaked demo of the game would hit the internet, right? Maybe.

According to a website baring the moniker Revolution, a 568.9MB file said to be a leaked demo of the game has been uploaded to a popular file sharing site. Other than a few screenshots of the file (complete with in-game screenshots) uploaded there is no telling whether or not this is legit.

To further seal the deal, Revolution urges us not to share the file and keep it private. Yeah, like anything readily accesible on the internet will be kept private. But wait, the demo was leaked by an official beta tester so it has to be real right? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll keep you updated.

Hoping to catch up to Rock Band, the upcoming entry in the Guitar Hero series will feature a full set of band equipment, but most importantly will retail for $179.99.

According to the Microsoft leak, the bundle will include a wireless guitar that will have a touch sensitive neck slide that will allow for solo moments. The drums and mic are also going to be wireless, with the former featuring raised cymbals.

Guitar Hero 4 will be host a whole lot of artists, including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Smashing Pumpkings, Interpol, Muse and more.

The game is due out this Fall.

A scene group known as iCON has already released a PAL version of Grand Theft Auto IV onto various torrent sites, despite the game’s arrival onto store shelves being only a few days away. It is confirmed to be real, and works on European Xbox 360 systems. An NTSC version has been uploaded, as well, but it is unclear if it’s the real deal. The group advises players not to log on to Xbox Live with the game until the retail release date has passed.

It’s unlikely that this will have a major impact on Take-Two Interactive’s sales of the flagship title, as many gamers have already pre-ordered the game, and many are planning to purchase it. Everyone is hyped for the game’s release and many are patiently waiting for the official release.

Probably not surprising to most people, given Grand Theft Auto’s long history, GTA IV will feature some sexual situations. Word comes direct from Britain, where the game has been rated. But of course, you all naturally just want to get to the dirty details, which fortunately for you, Britain has also leaked.

“During gameplay the character can pick up prostitutes… What follows is an un-detailed portrayal of masturbation, fellatio and intercourse. The character can also visit lap dancing clubs and request a private dance.”

So there you have it, unfortunately there are no blue aliens in compromising situations, but for those looking for a virtual good time, GTA IV will not completely disappoint. We certainly don’t have Hot Coffee on our hands, but surely Rockstar doesn’t need to push the boundaries anymore than it already has to avoid complete backlash.

It seems that Gtagaming.com has gotten their hands on pictures of the official GTA IV map included in the PS3 game box. Showcasing things like every landmark, store, restaurant, and street on one side while the other shows the full PS3 controller scheme along with a complete map of the underground subway featured in the game.
