Halo 5: Forge Getting a Custom Game Browser
Halo 5: Forge is coming to PC this week, and the game will be getting a custom game browser on both Xbox One and PC.
Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor took to Neogaf (thanks PCGamesN) to say "once the custom game browser is available I think the community might get crazy legit."
He also noted in a separate comment the browser won't be available on the September 8 launch day, but it is coming.
343 Studios' Josh Holmes also confirmed its existence on Neogaf, saying "it's a new feature that will provide similar functionality to a custom game browser, extending the existing file browser."
Pokemon Sun and Moon Demo Seemingly On the Way
The Korean game ratings board appears to have revealed an incoming demo for Pokemon Sun and Moon.
No mention was made about a demo in last week's Nintendo Direct, but a rating was granted the day it after it aired.
Titled (as per Google Translate) "Sun Moon, Pokemon Special Trial", the rating board listing reveals nothing about the trial's content or release date.
There's also no evidence that this will be a worldwide release, although it seems unlikely that Nintendo would make this a region-specific affair.

A source told Radar "the studio is desperate to secure the actor’s services while they phase in a younger long-term successor."
Daniel Craig said last year he'd "rather slash my wrists" than play Bond again, but Radar's source says Craig has "played a genius hand."

Titanfall 2 Excluded From EA Access and Origin Access
If you were hoping to try out Titanfall 2 before the game comes out, you're going to be disappointed.
