Earlier this week, Kotaku run a story about how a comedian at the Xbox One presentation at Eurogamer humiliated a transgender journalist. Laura Kate Dale, a transgender woman, claimed to have been called "he," "it," and "a thing," by Fraser Millward as he hosted an Xbox One event last weekend. In an official statement issued by both of them earlier today, this was shown to be untrue. Instead, it's a case of them misunderstanding one another and overreacting.

Capcom have announced that they'll be making redundant more than half of their EU-based staff. This follows under performance for many of the last released games, including Resident Evil 6, DMC: Devil May Cry and Lost Planet 3.

If you've been "waaaaaiting" for news of a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog series, that wait will soon be over. SEGA have today announced a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog TV series for Cartoon Network entitled Sonic Boom. The first episode will air in Autumn 2014, and a global roll-out will happen from there.

Valve have trademarked Half-Life 3, a move that will no doubt excite millions of fans of the series. This has so far only happened in Europe and there's no more information about it available, so it's probably far too early to be saying "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" but, at least of the surface of it, Half-Life 3 seems at least semi-confirmed.

Not at all interested in playing Grand Theft Auto Online but instead want to take a drive around the more traditional, single player San Andreas?

GAME have today been calling around those that had registered an interest, sharing the prices you might be expecting to pay if you buy a PlayStation 4 in store on launch day. They also announced which accessories they'd be stocking and how much they'd be charging for them.

Well, it had to be expected. Although some have managed to get into GTA Online without issue and are playing it lag-free, others are needing to wait to get into a server, with some having to hold out for over twenty minutes. Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 players don’t even have their patch.  It had seemed that the Grand Theft Auto Online launch would be relatively struggle-free, but that’s turned out not to be entirely true. Fans are stuck at the launching…

You've played all the tennis, pulled off all the heists, even checked out some of the Easter eggs... now it's time to take your Grand Theft Auto experience global, with the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Nintendo have released a system update for the Wii U, and it contains with it what a regularly requested features for the system. You can now use the Wii U gamepad as a TV for Wii games. This is pretty huge for those of us with a back catalogue to get through, and although you still will need to use a Wii remote, it's a step in the right direction.

Did you know that there's a serial killer in San Andreas? It's not necessarily something you'd come across too heavily in the main story, but every thread is there to follow the mystery through to completion, to find the culprit and to find his victims, if only you have the time and energy to pull it off.
