Gran Turismo is arguably the biggest franchise in the world of racing games. It's been around since the days of the original PlayStation, and it's sold huge numbers each and every time it's had a new number affixed to the end of its title, admit it. There's no doubt that Gran Turismo games are popular, which is why the internet set alight when news began to leak of a sixth installment reaching us later this year. More details can be found after the break.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
It had been rumored over the last couple of days, but Google's Hugo Barra just pulled a Galaxy S4 out of his pocket during the opening Google I/O keynote. It's not like any Galaxy S4 you've used before though, and it's not like any you've likely seen before, either. In fact, it's something hugely awesome, assuming you've got a spare $649.
If you're of a certain age then you'll remember one of the best games of all time, and that's Atari's Breakout. Based somewhat on the ever popular Pong, the idea behind Breakout was a simple one - hit a ball with your paddle and try to break as many bricks as you can.
Ah, concepts. It seems a day can't go by without some sort of iPhone 6 or iOS concept being thrust into the public domain, and not all are actually that great.
Remember that Need for Speed movie? No, probably not, but it's real. At least, it is now after filming finally began on the project that was announced last year.
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 as the replacement for their massively famous Galaxy S III smartphone, the availability of a smaller, less expensive model in the vein of the Galaxy S III Mini was almost guaranteed. While Samsung has been keeping mum about the possibility of a Galaxy S4 Mini, it seems we might have all the confirmation we need.
Windows Phone is currently in the midst of one of its stickiest patches, even though it finally got its own YouTube app just recently. As the saying goes though, one YouTube app does not make a platform successful. Or something like that.
Everyone likes it when new smartphones are announced, even when they're just plain old, by the numbers Android phones. Thankfully, the latest handset to be announced by Sony isn't plain at old. In fact, it's actually rather cool. Check it out after the break.
Concept videos are a dime a dozen at the best of times, but when everyone knows that a new iPhone is just a few short months away, things tend to heat up. Everyone with a passing interest in design and Apple seems to want to throw together a concept video or produce some renders that show what the next handset may or may not look like. We see them, and we move on.
It's not just Samsung and Apple that like to launch an ad every once in a while, HTC too knows how to get peoples' attention. While Samsung is intent on pointing fingers at Apple in its own set of TV ads, HTC appears to have taken a leaf out of its competition's book by also poking fun at those that it is in direct competition with.
