We now have a somewhat solid confirmation that the next-generation Xbox console will arrive within 18 months, making the latest it can show up, early 2014.

"Over the next eighteen months Microsoft will release new versions of all of o... more.

Up until now, fans of the original Grid game have only been left to guess details of the suspected sequel. Last week they got a short teaser trailer featuring a, slow-motion clip of a car peeling out followed by a logo with the number two in its centre. The official website TheRaceReturns didn't offer much either, until today when the announcement for Grid 2 was made by Codemasters Racing (forme... more.

Amazon has announced the first game from its internal game development studio, Amazon Game Studios, and it's called Living Classics - something that sounds more like a collection of retro games than a brand spanking new title.

The puzzle-platformer game, Quantum Conundrum, is the first project Kim Swift has been lead designer of since she left Valve to work at Airtight Games.

The first alpha footage of Kickstarter MMO Forge, has now appeared online, showing off plenty of in-game scenery and PVP action. With a game focused mostly on stripping  back the MMO experience to one that's less fetch quests and more, kill other players in fast paced battles, it's not surprising that the four and a half minute trailer features a lot of action. In it we see several abilities ... more.

Fancy some Left 4 Dead style versus action in the next Resident Evil game? Well it's not quite like that, but if the Agent Hunt option is enabled in a player's save game, you'll be able to join as one of the many monsters found in the title. You can even team up with other gamers, picking a monster each and collaborating to take down the protagonist - strategising using voice communication tool... more.

In what looks like more of an assault on the handheld gaming industry rather than the tablet marketplace, Wikipad has been talking about its self titled first product, the Wikipad gaming tablet, giving up the goods on its internal and external features. Th1 10.1 inch tablet weighs in at just 560 grams and is less than 9mm thick, with a display resolution of 1,280 x 800. On the inside, it'll be ... more.

The new rating system for video games in the United Kingdom, PEGI, comes into force today, fully replacing the current hybrid of the traditional British Board of Film Classification and PEGI that has the film style age rating placed alongside PEGI's more specific warning labels.
