Nintendo have released a system update for the Wii U, and it contains with it what a regularly requested features for the system. You can now use the Wii U gamepad as a TV for Wii games. This is pretty huge for those of us with a back catalogue to get through, and although you still will need to use a Wii remote, it's a step in the right direction.

Did you know that there's a serial killer in San Andreas? It's not necessarily something you'd come across too heavily in the main story, but every thread is there to follow the mystery through to completion, to find the culprit and to find his victims, if only you have the time and energy to pull it off.

Fancy something a little bit Trials on the iOS app store, but not sure what you want? Maybe you search, only to come across Real Flying Racing Rider Hero from Li Huizhen. It seems familiar somehow. Why? Because they ripped their logo directly from Mario Kart.

There was one major complain that I had about the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII, which was rather good otherwise. That was that Square Enix had decided to include the original PC music rather than revert to the better known, better appreciated PS1 version. An update late last week now fixes this problem.

Rockstar's latest Grand Theft Auto, a game some are already saying is the best title of this generation, has been knocked from its top spot on the UK sales charts in only its second week. Despite record sales, FIFA 14 has outdone its second week figures, claiming first place.

Mario has long enjoyed a wide variety of spin-offs. Best known is Mario Kart, although the little plumber that could has never been completely tied to to the racetrack. This tradition of allowing an untrained fat man to star in various sporting events continues with Mario Tennis Open for the 3DS.

Fancy that golf course but don't want to part with a million and a half of your hard earned cash? Don't worry, internet users have found a way to have their cake and eat it to, with a glitch that allows you to buy each and every piece of property in the game... absolutely free.

Internet users everywhere are attempting to play the BAWSAQ, Grand Theft Auto V's Social Club-linked stock market. They hope to do this by buying cheap stocks in their millions, causing the value of them to go up and big profits all around.

Want to get good publicity for your game, while completely confusing and intriguing the poor folks of London (who already have more than enough on their plate, driving in that place)? Here's how you do it: take the main character and have him walk around near busy places. That's exactly what happened here with Dark Souls II and its knight.

A poll of people who bought Grand Theft Auto V has revealed that 14% of those buying Grand Theft Auto V actually bought two copies, with the number one reason for that being that they just couldn't wait until their online pre-order arrived in the post. 52% of those polled had pre-ordered online.
