We've seen this headline time and time again before, but it's never come to anything. The relationship between Epic and Microsoft on Gears of War has been fruitful for both parties, but the hope that the sci-fi shooter would someday make it to Sony consoles has been around as long as the PlayStation 3 has. And why not? They're great games.

When the original Kinect was announced, there was a joke about people playing games in the nude, especially in relation to Lionhead's unreleased Milo. That's not a problem any more, as Kinect 2.0 picks up on your bits whether you're wearing clothes or not.

In some ways, Project Spark was the best thing to be shown at E3. It's LittleBigPlanet, without boundaries. But when you give people the opportunity to easily create a world for other users, there's one inevitable truth: there will be penises.

Let's say that you get an Xbox One Christmas morning, but for whatever reason don't have an internet connection. You'd expect to be able to do something with it, right? An interview with Albert Penello has revealed that the day one update will be entirely necessary for your Xbox One to function, and that not updating will leave you with little more than a brick.

By rewarding just some of their most loyal customers, and not fully revealing why some are being chosen for a free copy of Killer Instinct and others aren't, several have been left questioning why Microsoft have given them nothing for their constant support.

The popular Games with Gold program for the Xbox 360 is no longer being classified as “limited-time” and will be an ongoing service. Games with Gold was introduced at E3 2013, and has since been dishing out two free games a month to Gold subscribers, with the most recent being Halo 3. Here’s more from the official press release:  At E3 2013, we launched Games with Gold as a limited-time program to thank our Xbox Live Gold members. Within that…

Indie gaming may have been the hot topic over the last few months, and it seems Sony are trying everything they can to get the most talented developers publishing on their platform. Microsoft have been a little slower to take to the idea, first dismissing the idea of self-publishing, changing their minds and then being rather quiet on exactly what consumers might expect later this year.

Microsoft has revealed today the exact date for when the Xbox One hits stores across 13 countries worldwide.

It's been revealed that the Call of Duty: Ghosts unveiling was actually done on PC, with Xbox One controllers plugged in. With only three months before the launch of both the console and the game, some may be worried by this, although it's not really as bad as it sounds.
