<p>Between incredible Black Friday deals, impressive new game releases, and the aftermath of the Wii U&#8217;s launch, there&#8217;s a lot going on in the gaming world this week. There&#8217;s also plenty of rumors about upcoming games, making this holiday season one of the most information-packed years we&#8217;ve seen.</p>
<p>The rumor of an XBOX 720 launch next year, in time for the holidays, is especially convincing.On the other hand, the rumor of a co-op sequel to Assassin&#8217;s Creed III for a 2013 release is a little disappointing, but Assassin&#8217;s Creed fans might be glad to see more of Connor so soon. The viral game Skrillex Quest is incredibly addicting (if a little difficult to get through), and pits you against a plague of glitches brought upon you by dust in a cartridge. Be sure to check it out!</p>
