Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting and Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers will all be coming to the Wii U Virtual Console this week, at least Nintendo seem to reckon so.

Call of Duty: Ghosts may just be coming to PlayStation Vita. Gamestop Spain have posted a listing for a Vita version of this year's biggest arcade shooter, listing it at 45 euros. Of course, this might be a mistake on their part - a tick box ticked where no tick should be. That isn't always the case though, and it wouldn't be the first time that a retailer has revealed a game ahead of its official announcement.

Transformers: Prime is a successful animated series that, this year, will be seeing its first TV movie. Built around a small group of kids and their relationship with the Autobots, Transformers: Prime - The Game is the first video game based around this specific area of the IP.

Nintendo Land quickly became a joke when it was first revealed. Core gamers everywhere, unconvinced by the Wii U, saw Nintendo end their E3 2012 conference on a mini-game collection built around the franchises they'd used too many times before and that was it. They couldn't understand how Nintendo could go so wrong.

Before the next-gen consoles were officially announced, we saw only a few flashes of what might be happening with our favourite franchises. Job postings and vague teases that meant nothing twelve months ago now contain a wealth of information that hint at the games we'll be playing in 2014 and beyond; it's fascinating to look back and line things up.

A new rumour is floating around that Avalanche Studios, the developers behind Just Cause 2, may have been working on an Iron Man game. The title has since been cancelled, and perhaps if you consider the potential scale of that, you might just understand why. The rumour was started late last year (check the bottom post) when a job posting announced that they were looking for people to work on three AAA projects based on major IP. These were thought…

There's a reason that Plants Vs Zombies 2 has the subtitle "It's About Time." It's become a global phenomenon, encompassing multiple platforms, books, figurines, plushies and more. That all of this has comes from a single game is remarkable, especially since it's not especially long, nor does it have some great RPG-like depth to it. It's just simple good fun.

The Humble Origin Bundle is rapidly breaking all Humble Bundle records, and with the best part of two weeks left to go will no doubt end up as the Bundle to beat. It this morning crossed the $3 million mark, contributed by almost 700,000 purchasers. It’s still going up at around ten people every second. The most successful Humble Bundle of all time was the THQ bundle, which sold to a little less than 900,000 people. The THQ bundle contained…

If you're from Australia and were planning of having a friend gift you a copy of Saints Row IV so that you might play without any censorship, you may find that you'll be disappointed come release day. A rumour is circulating that if you live in a country where your alien-battling super hero adventure has been made a little less violent, that's the version of the game you'll play regardless of how it was bought.

Activision and Infinity Ward have released a video displaying some of the new additions to Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer. Along with the continued smooth, fun gameplay that keeps the Call of Duty franchise a must-buy year after year, Ghosts multiplayer brings with it new game modes, new weaponry and, most importantly, female characters.
