As you guys know by now, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released on the 13th of November, although word on the street is that the street date has already been broken thanks to one particular retailer in Slovakia, Bazo.sk (via CVG). The product listing has since been deleted but thanks to photos that have been grabbed before it was taken down, it certainly looks the case. As you can see in the image above, what we are looking at is the box art for the Hardened Edition of the game. However as the folks at VG247 have noted, since there are no photos of the actual disc, there is a chance that these boxes are merely promotional materials used to display on shelves for customers to look at, rather than the actual game itself, although the deleting of the listing is rather suspicious. In any case at the very least we have a glimpse at how the Hardened Edition will look like. Either way we only have a couple of weeks to go before the official release, so stay tuned for more updates!

Playing fighting styled games on a gaming controller is fine, although some gamers might prefer going old school and getting their hands on arcade stick controllers to emulate the good old days. Well the good news is that if you were planning on picking up the Nintendo Wii U, it looks like there is an arcade stick controller that will be released at the same time that will be compatible with the console. This is none other than the Hori fight stick with a Tekken Tag Tournament 2 decal on it and will connect with your Wii U just like the Classic Controller Pro. Unfortunately it seems that the Hori fight stick will only be available for the Wii U in Japan, but we expect that eventually it will make its way stateside and to other countries around the world. It will also be priced at roughly $100.
Now it seems that due to Hurricane Sandy, there are many gamers affected by it which at the same time has affected their ability to play Guild Wars 2, which means that they are missing out on the Halloween special. Unsurprisingly many of these gamers have reached out to ArenaNet, asking them if it was possible for them to extend their Shadow of the Mad King Halloween event to make up for “lost time”. Unfortunately for those players, it looks like ArenaNet will not be doing so, but at the same time it was revealed that this was because ArenaNet has a major content updated scheduled for the 15th of November. 
When it comes to protecting ourselves on the streets, there are a variety of options available, such as whistles aimed to draw attention to ourselves, pepper spray, tasers and etc. However if you don’t want to carry an additional item with you while on the go, perhaps due to the lack of space in your pocket or handbag, then this Coyote case for your iPhone might be of interest to you, as not only will it protect your phone from drops and scratches, but it could also protect you by emitting a 100dB siren that will hopefully freak the other person out, and draw attention to you which could help scare away the attacker.
We’ve seen some pretty interesting accessories for iOS devices before, although this rocking chair accessory is one of the more “out there” ones we’ve seen. Dubbed the iRock, this is a piece of furniture that not only docks your iPad, letting you read or watch videos while you rock away in the chair, but it will apparently help charge your tablet at the same time as well. Now before you think, “What kind of rocking chair plugs into the wall?” it seems that the iRock will charge your iPad through a generator built into one side of the chair.
