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.
Nintendo announces Hyrule Warriors (Zelda Musou)

Bioshock Infinite, Persona IV Golden Coming to PlayStation Plus?
It would seem that Bioshock Infinite and Persona IV: The Golden might be coming to PlayStation Plus in the near future, or at the very least receive heavy discounts.
Mad Catz R.A.T. M Review
Mad Catz made a splash with their R.A.T. series of highly-customizable gaming mice years ago, and the line has continued with several new models and even a wireless version of this monster peripheral. A new version of the R.A.T. is out; a smaller, wireless subspecies intended for gaming on the go. We spent some time with the R.A.T. M and here are our thoughts.
First Glimpse of Shadow of Mordor
Shadow of Mordor was revealed a few weeks ago for next-gen systems, current-gen systems and PC, and while it sounded pretty damn impressive, there was little to actually judge it by. Other than a few interesting gameplay features that might end up being less impressive than they sound, there wasn't even really a picture. That changed earlier this week when a handful of screens were released, showing off both the player character, his techniques and a handful of enemies.
