If you just can’t wait for the next big title from the people behind Heavy Rain, there’s some great news for you today. Quantic Dream’s Beyond Two Souls has an early access demo, and you can reach it via GameStop’s Facebook page. There are some downsides, but if you live in the US and are lucky enough to grab a code before they run out, you’ll be amongst the first to see where David Cage and pals are pushing in…

Resident Evil: Revelations was a hit when it came to 3DS ahead of Resident Evil 6 and the controversy surrounding it. A handheld Resident Evil title that seemed to manage to successfully bridge that gap between the old and the new, the survival horror of our youths and the more action-based focus of today.

Payday 2 worked incredibly well as a digital only co-op shooter, its shortcomings easily overlooked thanks to it offering far more value than its asking price. Payday 2 is bigger in scale and comes with a price boost as a result, but is it a crime gone wrong or a heist worth getting behind?

Valve have announced their very own Steam operating system, based on Linux. Those of you that have used Linux will know one of its biggest flaws - one that has been really improved upon in the last few years - is its lack of gaming support, and Valve hope to change that. By having the openness of Linux and the ease-of-use of Steam, SteamOS hopes to be a fun, free alternative to current operating systems in widespread use.

Indie gaming may have been the hot topic over the last few months, and it seems Sony are trying everything they can to get the most talented developers publishing on their platform. Microsoft have been a little slower to take to the idea, first dismissing the idea of self-publishing, changing their minds and then being rather quiet on exactly what consumers might expect later this year.

Ever since Steam announced that they'd be announcing three things very shortly, there has been a lot of theorizing. Some of it has been based on actual evidence - Left 4 Dead 3 showing up in a picture from Valve HQ for instance - and some of it has been a little less... scientific - OH MY GOD, THERE ARE THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS, HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED. It seems those ideas are wrong, however, as Marc Laidlaw confirms that the three announcements are specifically ...

A new console is to be announced next week, this time from PC giant Steam. Rumours of a Steam Box have been prolific over the last few years and it appears there's no smoke without fire. A countdown timer went up on the Steam website today, promising a new way of "connecting the dots" for gamers in the living room.

This is one of those stories that will be incredible if true. A Redditor, ShakaShaka, is claiming to have been posted a free boxed copy of Mists of Pandaria. In a post entitled “Blizzard is getting desperate,” ShakaShaka shows off the package he claims was from Blizzard, and some of the convincing marketing materials he received alongside it. Without any history to go along with it, it’s hard to know the exact circumstances of the package ...

Take-Two have announced that Grand Theft Auto V has reached a billion dollars over its first three days. That makes it the fastest selling entertainment property ever, beating out last year's Black Ops 2 and The Avengers.

Project X Zone should perhaps win the award for the most exciting game with the least descriptive, least exciting name. It sounds like a fantasy extreme sports simulator, like Dead Ball Zone or something of that kin. And yet, behind the name there lies not only a cross-over project perhaps unrivalled in gaming - only beat perhaps by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen elsewhere - but a decent tactical RPG that will suck you into the genre whether you have ...
