Square Enix's Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is all set to launch on January 28th for the PlayStation 4, and considering it's among the first of the major titles to hit the next-generation platform it's likely to generate a great deal of attention. In an attempt to show off the staggering differences between the PS4 and PS3, gaming site IGN has taken the opportunity to produce a side-by-side gameplay video that highlights just how far Lara Croft has come in her quest to make it onto Sony's powerful PlayStation 4 platform.
As well as the abundance of new titles that have established themselves in mobile space over the past few years, those old classics have found a second coming on our beloved gadgets. PAC-MAN is easily one of the most recognizable games of all time, and thanks to the App Store's new App of the Week promo, it has gone free for the very first time!
Nintendo's Wii was a roaring success, at least for the first few years of its life. Sell-outs the world over and an ability to draw so-called non-gamers into a market that was previously dominated by hardcore fans had Nintendo's coffers overflowing. When it came time to put the Wii out to pasture and replace it with something a little more modern, the Wii U was created.
We love a spot of nostalgia here at Redmond Pie, especially when it comes to the games that we used to play when we were growing up. We'll always have fond memories of Sonic, Streets of Rage and Castlevania, and being able to play them again and relive those memories is what keeps us young.
Good news for those toting Windows Phone devices this Christmas with the news that the hugely popular Temple Run 2 has finally made its way to Microsoft's smartphone platform.
Grand Theft Auto 5 may have released all the way back in September now, but following an extremely successful launch, the holiday gifts just keep on coming from Rockstar Games, publisher of the all-conquering series. Having just pushed a massive update to GTA Online for those on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Rockstar has come through with another treat for mobile gamers in the form of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for Android. The title, which is widely regarded as one of the best of the entire series, made its way to iOS just last week, and has finally landed at the Google Play Store. More details can be found after the break!
Electronic Arts has always been one for getting into the Christmas spirit by offering some pretty impressive discounts on its iOS games, and this year is no different. Perhaps it could be said that this year's sale isn't quite as special as it has been in the past, but the list of games that have been brought down to just $0.99 is still one that will have you reaching for your iPhone or iPad.
If you were a fan or player of the original PlayStation, otherwise known as the PSX and later the PSOne, there's a high probability that you're familiar with the classic title that was Tomb Raider. Lara Croft's inaugural adventure has spanned many releases over a number of platforms - as well as the box office - since first hitting our screens back in 1996, and now, Square-Enix has released a touch-optimized edition for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Nintendo may be playing hard ball with regards to releasing and re-releasing titles on mobile devices outside its own DS portable console, but other celebrated gaming outfits have adapted their games rather nicely to the touch-screen. SEGA is one such company, and having already released several variations of games featuring the speedy, spiky character of Sonic, the remaster of the classic Sonic The Hedgehog 2 has just been readied for those on iOS and Android. Details, as well as the download link, can be seen after the fold.
What do you get when you cross the fun and whimsical world of LEGO with the iconic dark and mysterious Star Wars adventures?

Warner Bros. has taken the excitement, adrenaline and history that is associated with the Star Wars franchise, thrown in a LEGO based environment and released The Complete Saga onto the iOS App Store for iPhone and iPad gamers to download and enjoy.
