Ok, so Square Enix are playing this game. Despite the fact that a Game of the Year edition is almost certainly coming to PC, and despite the fact that it would make sense to have the new features of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition in that Game of the Year release, Eidos representatives are still saying that it isn't going to happen.

Final Fantasy Type-0 looked fantastic, so naturally it never made it over to the west. It's good news then that a small team of fans have been working tirelessly on a fan translation of the game, and even better news that it's almost finished.

Call of Duty is one of the biggest franchises in the gaming world. Published by Activision and developed by several studios including Treyarch and Infinity Ward, detractors knock Call of Duty for its similar yearly releases. That doesn't stop it being bought in its millions and it's definitely not going anywhere for the time being.

Titanfall is looking like it'll be a fun sci-fi arcade shooter and a great boon to Xbox 360 and Xbox One. PC gamers will also be able to pick it up, and, if Call of Duty has been anything to go by, it'll be a pretty nice experience through that as well. One things for certain though: you won't be downloading mods for the game any time soon, probably not at all.

Hackers have managed to get the Wii U Tablet working without the Wii U console, a feat that will no doubt significantly raise the interest in the Wii U controller for the gaming demographic that enjoying playing video games while sat on the toilet. It’s not all good news though: Nintendo still don’t sell the gamepads separately, and that might make attaining one without buying a console rather difficult. Still, the good news is that it works, and the possibilities…

There has been a specific change in the way Naughty Dog are answering questions about a potential Last of Us port to PlayStation 4. Coincidence, or are they really paying attention to the thousands asking for a 60FPS, full HD version of the best selling Sony exclusive? If it'll sell...

It's nothing to sniff at, but everything Naughty Dog are working on has been announced. There's no secret Last of Us 2 being built behind closed doors, no Jak 4 on the horizon. This was revealed at the PlayStation Blog when somebody asked whether they would be bringing anything to Vita. The answer was fairly final.

If there was a single thing that made me consider a purchase of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, it was the announcement that it will come pre-loaded with voice commands. Forget annoying menus which have you slowly breaking out of the action. Scream the word “SHOTGUN!” at the TV and let your Kinect or PlayStation Camera do the rest. You might get some strange looks from the neighbours, but who gives a damn what they thing, anyway. Scot Amos revealed the…

I never really managed to get into the multiplayer modes present in Tomb Raider, but there were very mixed murmurs about it. Some people loved it, others hated it, but that's what happens when a previously single player franchise turns its attention to the online mode. Those that didn't enjoy it, or who didn't fully test it, have another chance to check it out with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as the back-end has been completely re-written.

It's a dangerous thing to consider: that game that you paid $60 for last year, re-released on a next-gen machine, where the developers expect you to pay another $60 for some minor new features. On a Q&A at the official Eidos forums, Scot Amos defended the decision to charge full price on the next-gen version of Tomb Raider.
