Behind The Scenes Look At South Park: The Stick of Truth
The behind-the-scenes video for South Park: The Stick of Truth that was originally shown at Comic Con last year is now available to watch on YouTube. It's primarily an interview with Matt Stone and Trey Parker as they discuss the video game development process, but there's some good in-game footage for this much anticipated title. The game has been in the works for what seems like forever, but it will finally be released come March for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It's an RPG that tries to capture the essence of the show, which means plenty of dong and fart jokes, and a visual style that looks as "crappy" (their words) as the hit cartoon.

Tomb Raider 2 to be more Skyrim
Tomb Raider was a great game, but it had very little in common with the massively open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It's not a problem most of us picked up on, but apparently it's something the developers hope to rectify for Tomb Raider 2.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Almost Had New Story
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition might seem slightly underwhelming, especially for those that completed it multiple times on PC. It wasn't always going to be that way though. Crystal Dynamics had originally considered adding extra plot to the new-gen edition, but was shot down by a Square Enix exec.

Rumour: Watch Dogs Wii U Cancelled
There's been some weird stuff happening with Ubisoft's Watch Dogs. Initially met with extreme excitement, things died down slightly as more videos were released, and then it was delayed weeks before launch.

Uncharted 4 in 2014 “Doubtful”
We know absolutely nothing about Uncharted 4, except that it probably won't come out in 2014. This was confirmed today by a Naughty Dog spokesperson on the PlayStation Blog, and is probably a huge blow to many a PlayStation 4 owner who was excited to rejoin Nathan Drake and co in a next-gen adventure.

Assassin’s Creed 2 Dev: Shadow of Mordor Uses MY Code
There's been a new video released for Shadow of Mordor, and it looks fantastic. Boy, we had good reason to be nervous, but it looks as though Monolith are going to deliver. It looks familiar, but given that it looks similar to one of the best games of last generation - Assassin's Creed 2 - that's no surprise. Perhaps a bit too similar. A team lead on Assassin's Creed 2 has spotted a thing or two that shouldn't be there, and is asking questions.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Runs at 60FPS on PS4, 30FPS on One
A few weeks ago we ran a story saying that the new-gen version of Tomb Raider would run at only 30FPS. That has turned out to be only half true. On the Xbox One, 30FPS is about the limit. On PlayStation 4, you can expect anything up to 60FPS.

Nintendo Games That could Save the Wii U
Last Friday, Nintendo announced a drop in expected Wii U sales from 9 million to a meager 2.8 million, representing an almost 70% drop. Even before this announcement, however, journalists and fans alike have been debating on how Nintendo can turn their current console around. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Nintendo fans were treated to a number of quality games, both for the casual and hardcore fan. It could be argued that this changed after the released of the N64.

Dualshock 4 Light Causes Drama
The Dualshock 4 has a great big light on it. It was one of the first things announced about the controller and there are basically three functions behind it. You can differentiate between players, it interacts with the camera and, in certain games, it's utilized by devs as a kind of secondary output. Killzone, for instance, shows your health status via this little light. Suddenly, people are asking why any of this matters, and are begging Sony to let them turn it off.
