Larry Hryb, better known as Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson, has just showcased two new goodies for Microsoft's flagship Xbox 360 console, and if you're a pretty big Halo fan, at least one, if not both of the new releases will be of some interest.
It's almost that time of the year again. No, I'm not referring to the release of the iPhone 5 tomorrow in San Francisco, but an even longer-standing institution among tech fans. Of course, I'm talking about the FIFA series, and as any ardent football fan (or soccer fan, if you reside in America) will tell you, it's most certainly the ultimate simulation of The Beautiful Game.
If you've ever been to an F1 race, you'll know it's a pretty enthralling experience, and although such high-speed, adrenaline-rushing excitement is difficult to replicate in the real world (mainly because of the speed limitations imposed by the road police), the official F1 game is certainly a safer, cheaper way of getting your Formula 1 fix.
Grand Theft Auto, or GTA, is one of the most popular franchises known to man and console, and with publisher Rockstar Games having already dropped a couple of beautiful screenshots of the upcoming GTA V, fans of the series are increasingly anxious for news regarding availability.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II is only a couple of months away from public release. To raise the excitement level just that little notch higher, the guys at Activision and Treyarch have today announced limited collector’s edition sets for their much awaited upcoming title.
If you enjoy being sociable, catching up on trends or just generally wasting time on the web, then the past week's releases will have been pretty useful to you. Facebook finally pulled its finger out and delivered a decent mobile app (well, at least for iOS), so your social networking can be done at light-speed, and now the new YouTube app for Xbox 360 is said to be up to five-times faster than its predecessor.
The holiday shopping season is always a time of year that those involved in the gaming industry look forward to. The season of giving generally notches up a rather large spike in the sales of gaming consoles, new titles and accessories as family and friends look for that gift to give the person who already has everything. It's always the same for people who I am close to, if they can't think of a gift to get me then they generally fall back onto a new PlayStation 3 game or the latest Xbox 360 release.
Rockstar has released a collection of new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots showing off what is sure to be some pretty awesome gameplay.
IDC Research's Lewis Ward has, amid a fair bit of speculation regarding Xbox and Kinect, really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons with some pretty bold statements regarding Microsoft's next moves.
Last November we were treated to an official confirmation that Rockstar Games were indeed knuckling down and beginning the full-time development process of the fifth iteration of their insanely popular Grand Theft Auto games. Yesterday, the company raised the excitement levels a little further by releasing some official and rather splendid looking screenshots from the game giving us a little glimpse of the adrenaline fuelled capers that we can expect from the fictional city of Los Santos.
