Do you feel like rewinding a few years or so ago? Bethesda has announced that they are releasing a double pack of games that include Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

The pack will release on April 3rd and will cost you $29.99 for the Xbox 360 versions and $19.99 for the PC. If you are planning on purchasing the pack ignore the front of the package that says, "2006 and 2008 Game of the Year Award winners", because it does not contain the Game of the Year editions of both games that contain all of the DLC. You still have to fork out the coin for that.

Capcom released details regarding their upcoming entry into the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 6.

The game will be set in 2013 and will have fan favorite with amazing hair Leon Kennedy traveling to a fictional town in China called, Lanshiang. Also making a return to the Resident Evil series will be Chris Redfield who Capcom revealed decided to rejoin his fellow BSAA members in China, because six months prior to the events in Resident Evil 6, Redfield went through a personal trauma. Joining Leon and Chris will be newcomers Helena Harper who happens to be a government agent that caused the incident in Resident Evil 6, Ingrid Hunnigan who has worked with Leon for an extended period of time, the President of the United States Adam Benford, and a mystery third protagonist who is told that he will be the man that saves the world. Capcom did not confirm if another blonde headed character who appeared in the trailer for Resident Evil 6 was Ashley Graham the president's daughter from Resident Evil 4 who Leon Kennedy was in charge of protecting.

Capcom briefly spoke about the return of real zombies and said that they will run, jump, and be able to use weapons against you. Zombies will not be the only enemies featured in RE6. J'avo B.O.W. will be introduced as enemies who are slightly evolved than their brain eating zombie cousins and that they can still function using human thinking. The J'avo B.O.W. name comes from the Serbian word for "demon" and these new enemies origin comes from the conflict zone of Eastern Europe which happened six months prior to the RE6 storyling. Could Chris Redfield be tied to these new enemies?

Other news on the Resident Evil 6 front is that the control scheme will be changing vastly and you will now be able to shoot while running, slide, roll in any direction to take cover, and they are adding an additional melee attack.

Resident Evil 6 is set to release this coming holiday season on November 20, 2012.

Sources close to Nintendo are claiming that Nintendo is worried that there might be confusion over the name of their newest console like with the numerous other different named DS handhelds.

Sony France CEO Philippe Cardon, told french website Lepoint.fr that Sony will be the last to announce a new console.

"The Wii is under time pressure because it's in decline. As far as we're concerned, we're under a lot less pressure. We were the last to release the PS3. We will probably be the last to announce something."

This announcement should come as no surprise considering that Sony was the last of three brands to release a next gen console during the bitter console war.

"Back in 2010, Activision and Microsoft entered a business deal to release DLC on Xbox 360 earlier than other platforms; this contract is valid through the year 2012. This business deal was very widely reported by the games media when the announcement was made at E3 in 2010, and the DLC releases for both Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops was released in accordance with that contract. All DLC for MW3 will follow the terms of that deal as well, because it’s still 2012.

I wondered where people would have gotten that idea — had someone actually promised that, or said something at XP 2011 that I missed? — so I researched it. What I found was that you can’t prove the non-existence of something. I can find no evidence of “buy Elite, get PS3 DLC same time as 360″ ever being so much as suggested by any official source. It was never one of the things listed in the official benefits chart; it was never promised by any representative of Activision, Call of Duty, Elite, or its developers. Honestly? I think gamers just convinced themselves that it would happen because they wanted it to happen. That makes sense, but it doesn’t make it true.

So…that’s where we are. The deal from 2010 is why DLC comes out on Xbox 360 first. I’m seeing people scream “rip-off” and stuff like that, but nobody’s going to get ripped off; every gamer will get everything they were promised and everything they paid for. It’s unfortunate that people assumed things about Elite that turned out to not be based in fact, but I hope the truth is clear now. Unpopular, I’m guessing, but clear."

There's more to that blog post then just my little snippets, but let's be honest here. All that this comes down to is a bunch of whiny PS3 gamers who are complaining about spending extra money for a subscription to a game where the multiplayer is technically free? Did I sum that up right Mr. Amrich, because I think that's what you really wanted to say.

On a post in the Bioware forums for the upcoming Mass Effect 3, Bioware states that the RPG will only be available on Origin "initially" and not Steam. Why do you ask? According to Bioware's Chris Priestly it's because of Steam's "restrictive terms of service".

"During initial release Mass Effect 3 will be available on Origin and a number of other 3rd party digital retailers, but not on Steam at this time. Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to deliver patches and other downloadable content. We are intent on providing Mass Effect to players with the best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play their game, and are happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with our consumers."

Apparently limiting your consumer base is a great way to ensure sales of your game! Go EA!
