Tomb Raider Multiplayer Improved for Next-Gen
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.

Tomb Raider Devs Defend Re-release Price Point
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.

Tomb Raider GOTY Coming to PC
The 'Definitive' version of Tomb Raider might be coming to next-gen consoles - complete with TressFX, a new face and a great big price tag - but that doesn't mean Square Enix isn't willing to try to get PC gamers to buy the same game all over again. Tomb Raider GOTY Edition has appeared on the Steam registry, and that means a new version of 2013's hottest action adventure is absolutely bound to be on the horizon.

Analysts: “Sony Has 79% Chance of Going Bankrupt in Next Two Years”
The PlayStation 4 has had a fantastic launch, and Sony Computer Entertainment are no doubt hungrily planning what to do next. It's an amazing piece of technology, and one that gamers are buying up in their droves.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded to Have New HD Scenes
The Kingdom Hearts franchise, outside of the first two PS2 titles, is a rather hit and miss affair, storyline wise. There's a lot there that's fun to play and participate in, and then there are other parts that are there basically to show that the universe goes further than Disney. Coded was something different, not exactly important to the overall plot (not exactly in a way that warranted a full game, even a mobile game), but spin-off enough that it didn't matter. Re:Coded suffered (benefited?) from a similar problem, although that's about to change.

Gravity Rush 2 Systems Being “Put In Place”
The original Gravity Rush was a quirky action adventure that, more than perhaps anything else at the time, showed off just how awesome the Vita was. It did something innovative and different, while remaining fun and grounded. Not many games manage to pull that off, and a sequel was inevitable (and welcome). Good news all around: the sequel is coming along nicely, and systems for the new game are currently being put in place.

Kinect Voice Controls to be Improved as Time Goes By
It should be no great surprise in this day and age, but a Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that Kinect will be built upon and improved via firmware updates as time goes by. Voice controls are a fun, simple way of getting around a console, and as it becomes more and more intuitive, it could easily become better for menus than a controller.

Angry Birds Rio Update Launched, More Incoming
More than two years on, Angry Birds Rio has probably been lost in the mess of Star Wars spin-offs that the top casual franchise has released in the time since, but that's not stopping the developers from releasing an update to celebrate the release of Rio 2.

Reveel Headphone Amp Review
Vinyl enthusiasts like to point out that an acoustic recording is a physical document of an actual event; the grooves in a record represent the movements in the air during a live recording session, while MP3's and digital files only capture the sounds that the software engineers chose to record in order to make the files smaller.

Defiance Goes (Kind of) Free-to-Play
Hit console-style shooter MMO Defiance has gone kind of free-to-play. Although there's still a limit on what you can do while you're in the free-to-play version of the game, you can play for as long as you want without having to stop.
