Yeah, you heard us right. The wall, which made it’s way around the world, being used at conventions like E3, PAX, and the Skyrim launch party, has now landed in Bethesda’s lounge. It also features a plaque dedicated to the late  Adam Adamowicz, it’s creator, who recently passed away.

You can check out some more pictures over on their Flickr page.

Thanks to the whole Infinity Ward – Activision lawsuit, we’ve gotten some details on what Bungie has been up to since they were acquired by the infamous publisher. According to the contract, which is posted in full at the LA Times, the developer is planning on four “sci-fantasy, action shooter games” code named “Destiny,” which are scheduled to release every other year starting next fall.

Also detailed was the project code named “Comet,” four downloadable expansion packs for Destiny, again scheduled for every other year, except beginning in fall of 2014.

The contract also speaks of a period of exclusivity on the Xbox 360 or Microsoft’s new console, meaning it would likely launch on the Xbox and then at a later date, on the rest of the platforms.

The team also has the freedom to work on another Marathon title, however, they can assign no more than five percent of their staff while working under the publisher.

SEGA and Gearbox Software have announced that the long awaited Aliens: Colonial Marines will now be launching on February 12, 2013.

“I am thrilled to announce the definitive launch date for Aliens: Colonial Marines,” said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. “Aliens: Colonial Marines is the culmination of a life-time of inspiration from the films and relentless passion and drive from the exceptionally talented development team behind the scenes.”

The game will be releasing simultaneously for all three major platforms, a release date for the Wii U version will be revealed at a later date.

When asked about what downloadable content fans should expect on Minecraft the team at 4J Studios responded confirming that skin packs will be the first content you’ll be able to download. “Looking at skin packs just now, more later,” the tweet reads. When asked about the possibility of custom skins the team commented, “We are discussing this – it might be a bit further down the road.”

As for what else fans might be able to expect, it probably lies along the lines of the typical Minecraft PC content including texture packs and mods eventually.

As most of you are probably aware, Diablo III didn’t have the smoothest launch. With Error 37 already having become a meme in itself, Blizzard has quickly apologized now that things are starting to reach satisfactory levels of performance.

Diablo Players:

We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live.

To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm — and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game’s launch led to players experiencing error messages and difficulty logging in. These issues cropped up again last night for the Americas and Europe servers. Despite very aggressive projections, our preparations for the launch of the game did not go far enough.

We’ve been monitoring the game 24/7 and have applied several optimizations to help our systems better weather the global rush. As of late last night, specifically 11:50 PM PDT on May 15, all systems have been online and running relatively smoothly. We’re continuing to monitor performance globally and will be taking further measures as needed to ensure a positive experience for everyone. This includes some maintenance to implement additional improvements for each region.

In order to make sure everything is continuing to run as it should, we’ve decided to move out our target launch for the real-money auction house beyond our original estimated date of May 22. We’ll post further updates on that in the near future.

Aside from the tremendous number of players simultaneously logging in to the game, one of the launch-day service issues was linked to the achievement system. Some players began to notice early on that achievements were either not being earned properly, or not being saved between multiple logins. We’re investigating this issue and will provide a specific update as soon as possible.

We greatly appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties many of you encountered on day one. Please visit the Battle.net Support site or Support forums for the latest service-related updates or for help in troubleshooting any technical issues you may be having downloading, installing, or while playing the game.

Thank you again for your patience while we reinforce the gates of Sanctuary and further strengthen it for your onslaught.

Respectfully,

Blizzard Entertainment

Stay tuned for our Diablo III reviews which will likely air well after all the kinks have been worked out of the system.

GameInformer has posted their look at the second faction in Elder Scrolls Online, the Aldmeri Dominion. Consisting of the Altmer (High Elves), the Bosmer (Wood Elves), and the Khajiit, of Valenwood, the Summerset Isles, and Elsweyr, this faction isn’t so gentle in their views.

“The name says it all. The Aldmeri Dominion wants to dominate the world. They plan on taking over the world. Submit or die,” explains game director Matt Firor. “The Aldmeri Dominion is like, ‘we’re going to kill everyone that isn’t us. You people are going to help us or else.’”

Ubisoft has announced the Far Cry 3 multiplayer beta. Those who buy Ghost Recon Future Soldier from Gamestop, with a Powerup Rewards card, will receive a key with their purchase. Owners will be able redeem to their code and choose their console; when the beta goes live for two weeks this summer, they will be emailed their download code.

The team will also give away 500 codes to those who enter on their Facebook page. Codes will also be distributed through various social media.

In the multiplayer beta, up to sixteen simultaneous players per match will have the opportunity to choose from six playable classes and will able to experience online action within multiple maps and modes – including the innovative Firestorm mode. Dozens of weapons with hundreds of upgrades and customizations will also be available. Gameplay includes teamplay-focused experiences with support points and weapons, as well as the ability for all classes to revive fallen teammates. Zip-lining, combat sliding, psyche gas and barrel bombs are just some of the gameplay elements that can be experienced when playing.

Kalypso Media and Haemimont have announced that they are bringing their upcoming game, Omerta – City of Gangsters to Xbox 360. The game had previously been announced for Windows PC for autumn 2012.

Developed by Haemimont – the developers of Tropico 3 and Tropico 4 - Omerta takes place in the 1920′s Atlantic City where gamers will spend their time developing a criminal empire. Construct, buy, or take over buildings and turn them into distilleries, speakeasies, anf more. Laundering dirty money is your job, and when it comes time to use some force, the game becomes a turn-based tactical RPG.

Any fans of Tropico sure want to keep an eye on this one, it might not be the same thing, but it sure sounds like an interesting concept, and we know Haemimont can deliver.

At least that’s what the press release says, the video culminates in pie, so we can only suffice that pie = time.
