If you've been "waaaaaiting" for news of a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog series, that wait will soon be over. SEGA have today announced a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog TV series for Cartoon Network entitled Sonic Boom. The first episode will air in Autumn 2014, and a global roll-out will happen from there.

Valve have trademarked Half-Life 3, a move that will no doubt excite millions of fans of the series. This has so far only happened in Europe and there's no more information about it available, so it's probably far too early to be saying "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" but, at least of the surface of it, Half-Life 3 seems at least semi-confirmed.

There aren't enough sim games on the PlayStation 3, especially when it comes to sim games with RPG elements. It's a niche within a niche - if there were demand for this sort of thing on consoles, no doubt someone would be chugging them out yearly, and yet when they do come out, as with Port Royale 3 Gold Edition, it never feels like you're getting the most bang for your buck.

Not at all interested in playing Grand Theft Auto Online but instead want to take a drive around the more traditional, single player San Andreas? While most of the offline functions of GTA V will work as they should, anything at all influenced by Rockstar's servers is either down or not working at full capacity, and, as anybody who enjoys everything the game has to offer will tell you, there are more online functions than you might expect.

GAME have today been calling around those that had registered an interest, sharing the prices you might be expecting to pay if you buy a PlayStation 4 in store on launch day. They also announced which accessories they'd be stocking and how much they'd be charging for them.

Well, it had to be expected. Although some have managed to get into GTA Online without issue and are playing it lag-free, others are needing to wait to get into a server, with some having to hold out for over twenty minutes. Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 players don’t even have their patch.  It had seemed that the Grand Theft Auto Online launch would be relatively struggle-free, but that’s turned out not to be entirely true. Fans are stuck at the ...

You've played all the tennis, pulled off all the heists, even checked out some of the Easter eggs... now it's time to take your Grand Theft Auto experience global, with the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

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.
