Gaming News Wrap [4 Apr 2013]

Not the most bumper packed morning news wrap ever, but I think we all still need to get over the shock of Disney shutting down LucasArts and cancelling two Star Wars games in development.  Boo! GameStop‘s CEO J. Paul Raines reckons Microsoft’s next console will be a “very hot, compelling device.”  We hope that is not a reference to next-generation RROD… Sticking with…

Morning News Wrap (15 Mar 2013)

As Friday rolls around, you should be grateful we managed to help you make it.  It was our news – and our news alone – that got you here.  Or it was the coffee. A number of sites claiming to be sign-up pages offering the chance to test the next Xbox are fakes according to Microsoft.  Not that we should…

PS4 may arrive earlier than expected [Rumour]

According to Assassin’s Creed IV’s creative director, the PS4 version of the game will “ship” (huh-huh great pun) alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions due in October. Now, let’s be fair, there would be no point to releasing a game without a platform to actually play it on, so speculation is a complete entitlement in this case.  However, there…

Morning News Wrap (14 Feb 2013)

It’s raining… news and stuff.  So get covered in it.  You will be the envy of your friends. Next-gen (as tradition is almost dictating) news first.  According to a VG247 source (it had to be, right?), the controller for the PS4 is “more or less” the same shape as PS3’s DualShock, however the Start and Select buttons have been have been moved…

Morning News Wrap (13 Feb 2013)

Morning.  It’s been a while hasn’t it?  24 hours to be exact since we force fed you tiny bits of gaming news and watched you be the envy of your friends.  Let’s do it again shall we? Microsoft has opened a new LA-based studio called Xbox Entertainment Studios, which is headed by Nancy Tellem, president of entertainment and digital media at…

Morning News Wrap (7 Feb 2013)

You can do it.  Tomorrow’s Friday.  Stay strong.  Read the news, be informed and be on a high for the rest of the day. The PlayStation Store has had its weekly update.  And it is jam packed with goodies and discounts and stuff.  Too much to list here, so rather go here for the full list. Beyond Good & Evil…

Morning News Wrap (4 Jan 2013)

We realise that while we are all asleep (or otherwise preoccupied with other things), the news does not stop.  So in an effort to give you the titbits to keep you informed and the centre of conversation at the office water cooler we thought we’d give you the news that happened in one breakfast wrap.  Yum. Details of the Tomb…

GTA V dated by GameStop UK

To be fair, it’s not unusual for online retailers to date a game without any confirmation of a release date from the publisher.  They either know something the rest of us mere mortals don’t or they’re speculating. When BT Games in South Africa first did it for some or other game, no-one took them seriously until they were proved correct. …
