There’s some pretty big changes happening in the world of college football, and it’s already changing the world of video games as well. EA have today announced that they won’t be releasing an NCAA game in 2014, and that if things carry on the way they’re going, they may never release another NCAA game again. This has basically come about because the NCAA have set rules about how their players are portrayed, whilst those same players have ...

At a Japanese event not too long ago, there was a video showing the history of the Pokemon franchise. It was a fairly well made video, but probably wouldn't have have mattered nearly as much if not for a short two or three second clip at the end, which showed an almost fighter-like set-up starring Lucario.

Steam have announced that they'll be releasing a set of hardware solutions in 2014. Although no specifics have been revealed today, they've promised a variety of PCs, each covering a different area of cost and power needed. Naturally, all of the Steam Machines will run SteamOS.

Until very recently, it seems like Android users would be doomed to waiting when it came to Plants Vs Zombies 2. There was little in the way of talk about it, definitely no firm release dates... It meant that while many of us were enjoying the game on our iOS devices, others were taking to Facebook in their thousands for being left out.

Thanks to the GameStop demo, the public have had their first home-based experience of Beyond Two Souls, the Ellen Page-led thriller from Quantic Dream. It didn't take long for people to start sharing their opinion either, and those with pre-orders will be glad to hear it's largely positive.

If you just can’t wait for the next big title from the people behind Heavy Rain, there’s some great news for you today. Quantic Dream’s Beyond Two Souls has an early access demo, and you can reach it via GameStop’s Facebook page. There are some downsides, but if you live in the US and are lucky enough to grab a code before they run out, you’ll be amongst the first to see where David Cage and pals are pushing in…

Resident Evil: Revelations was a hit when it came to 3DS ahead of Resident Evil 6 and the controversy surrounding it. A handheld Resident Evil title that seemed to manage to successfully bridge that gap between the old and the new, the survival horror of our youths and the more action-based focus of today.

Payday 2 worked incredibly well as a digital only co-op shooter, its shortcomings easily overlooked thanks to it offering far more value than its asking price. Payday 2 is bigger in scale and comes with a price boost as a result, but is it a crime gone wrong or a heist worth getting behind?

Valve have announced their very own Steam operating system, based on Linux. Those of you that have used Linux will know one of its biggest flaws - one that has been really improved upon in the last few years - is its lack of gaming support, and Valve hope to change that. By having the openness of Linux and the ease-of-use of Steam, SteamOS hopes to be a fun, free alternative to current operating systems in widespread use.
