- Featured content 1: What is Major League Gaming? Brenna answered this question, so you don't have to. Give her expose a read here.
- Feature content 2: I spoke to Rob "EYEBORG" Spence on his augmentation documentary for Deus Ex; Human Revolution after the game's European and UK release on Friday. Give that a looky here.
- Halo 4's received a brand new trailer at PAX last night, showing some of the game's concept art. It, in all honesty, looks quite f**king amazing. The trilogy of new games in the series, which begins with 4, is now also known as The Reclaimer Trilogy. Get all the details here.
- Sounds like that Persona tease from last week is indeed related to Persona 4: an announce is due to happen by the end of September, but don't be too surprised if the beans spill before then at TGS. Our money's on P4P.
- Scrolls, the next big thing from Mojang since Minecraft emerged, will be a multiplatform thing, the company said at PAX this past weekend.
- Bethesda dropped a fair bit of news on Skyrim over PAX weekend, but the big bit is DLC: the first two packs will launch on Xbox Live 30 days before any other service.
- BioWare's announced that FemShep will be a redhead by default in Mass Effect 3. You made the right choice, internet.
- Besides giving away Borderlands 2 copies to everyone in attendance at its panel, Gearbox confirmed a new update for the original game on PC. It'll include Steamworks, piling up metric information and more at the start of next month. September 9, to be specific.
- In other Gearbox news, company head Randy Pitchford confirmed it isn't done with Baker-based Brothers in Arms games, confirming that one is in development alongside Furious 4.
- Eidos Montreal is teasing something in regards to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It's all going down at 11pm BST or 10pm GMT tonight. We reckon deeds on New Game + might be the answer.
- Here's a video of FIFA 12 that aired during the football yesterday.
- And Lollipop Chainsaw footage from PAX, to boot. Because we love you.
- A Japanese analyst firm is predicting Monster Hunter announcements for Tokyo Game Show. We're calling it: Monster Hunter Vita.
And that's your lot. Back tomorrow with hopefully video too. Also, heads-up: it's a UK bank holiday, so it'll be very slow today. We'll update as much as we can, though.
