Sony have today announced Vita TV, a device that does everything the Vita does, without the portability. By plugging the device into your TV, you can play the latest Vita titles like you would any other game. Available for $99 and compatible with every feature of the Vita, Vita TV is a cheaper option for those that don't necessarily want the Vita device, but want to play the games available for the system.

Albert Penello recently posted to Neogaf explaining a number of things about the Xbox One. One of the biggest comments to come out of the post was that there was no way Microsoft were going to give up a 30% hardware advantage to Sony, as some figures (and some rather over-excited consumers) might suggest. People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard API’s that everyone programs ...

The excitement is mounting. It's now less than two weeks (11 days, in fact) until Grand Theft Auto V is released on the world. With new details revealed every day and nothing but positive reaction web-wide, you might be forgiven for thinking this could be one of the biggest games of all time. Any way you look at it, it's kind of a big deal, right?

The Wii U is now available to purchase from Waitrose for £150 for the basic pack and £199 for the premium pack. This puts the basic pack at a slightly cheaper price point than the 3DS XL. Other supermarkets, as well as some electronics stores, may be poised to follow suit.

Sudoku is one of the most popular puzzle games on earth, with endless amounts of variations, apps, books and even competitions dedicated to the "ancient" mindbender. FlowDoku hopes to stand out amongst them, offering a simple variation that uses shapes instead of numbers.

Heavy Fire Shattered Spear's biggest mistake is that it looks and feels too much like a Call of Duty game. Sure, the graphics aren't great, the voice acting is like something out of a bad YouTube video and the gameplay, nothing like Activision's behemoth franchise, leaves a lot to be desired. All of that just makes Heavy Fire an average, generic title most people will overlook. That it looks so much like Call of Duty - with its setpieces and "foreign ...

Think that selling a game is as easy as buying some copies and waiting for delivery? Think again! An indie games store owner has struggled to get even a single copy of Grand Theft Auto V for his shop, and the things Rockstar need him to do to change that are more than a little ridiculous...

Diablo 3 is now out, and although not everybody will be able to play it until later in the week, we can now reveal the install sizes for both the physical and digital versions of the game.
