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.

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.

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.

Killzone is one of Sony's staple franchises, partly because of how fantastic they always look. The gameplay is always hit and miss, you'll either love it or hate it. The heavier weaponry, the harder-to-kill enemies - this isn't Call of Duty or Battlefield, and it never tries to be. Killzone: Shadow Fall is the latest in the series and one of the lead launch games on PlayStation 4. Can it hold the next generation on its shoulders?

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.

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.

After the shocking conclusion to the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead, Clementine is back. The timing is perfect: the TV show has hit mid-season after a shocking finale and multiple sales, including the Telltale Humble Bundle, means there are few of us that haven't at least started the first set of episodes.

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 ...

There are so many things about this story that could be wrong or misinterpreted (or just plain made up) but it makes for quite the interesting idea anyway. A user on Neogaf claims that, after attempting to get a new, sealed copy of Battlefield 4 from EA so that he could get a refund at Gamestop, they got into a fight with an EA rep over whether or not the game's current state constitutes that it is broken.

LEGO The Hobbit, revealed over the last few weeks for a series of systems longer than the Hobbit movies themselves, was previously only shown off through a screenshot. Now Warner Bros have released a trailer that shows off The Hobbit, the humour and the journey that you'll be undertaking next year if you pick it up in 2014.
