Domain name registrations point towards it.

The bloodhounds over at domain-watchers Fusible have spotted something that could point toward the name of the next Xbox, which is due to revealed on May 21st.

It's about to get a little bit neon up in here.

We're heading into a single-game Wednesday once again but this time around, things are looking up. The neon-infused Far Cry 3 spin-off Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the order of the day, and given that we already know very much how it'll play (as we've played Far Cry 3) - we reckon there's a lot of...

You'll have to wait until July

Microsoft's intriguing-looking Illumiroom technology will not be making an appearance at E3 this year, nor at their May 21st Xbox unveiling.

Pre-E3, as usual.

Put it in the books, for Microsoft's E3 conference - where they've promised us a shedload of games - will take place on June 10th, the day before E3's doors officially open.

Setting their lines out...

Developer confirms.

It's turning into a bit of a saga worthy of Agatha Christie's Poirot, but XBLA title Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine has been delayed further. The game was due to release last Wednesday, before being unceremoniously delayed thanks to a last-minute bug being found. Then on Friday, the game made an all-too-brief appearance on XBLA -...

71% of sales are on 360.

Dead Island: Riptide has hit the UK All Format Chart this week in the top position, successfully defeating Injustice: Gods Among Us, which only managed a one week stay on top of the pile.

Happily, that bug has been well and truly squashed, and the game will be available to download from today. At the moment,...

The captain of capture.

Back in the days before everyone had a “Vlog” about their favourite types of pasta, and before the entire world was in a launch-day race to fire up a “Let’s Play” video of the hottest new gaming title, capturing video from games consoles was a total pain. Even up until recently, that could still be said. Devices...

Tons to see, but not these.

Microsoft have confirmed that the next generation Xbox will be revealed on May 21st, and everyone has gotten straight on the speculation bus regarding what we’ll see at the Redmond event. We’re pretty sure that a lot will be left on the table for E3 – which kicks off just 19 days later. Microsoft has timed this...

Swiftly pulled listings give away details.

UK supermarket Tesco and US retail giant Target have outed the title and release date of the next game in the Call of Duty franchise, it seems.

Back to basics?

In confirming that the next Xbox will be revealed on May 21st, Microsoft may have given us a clue as to what the machine will be called, and what the new logo will look like. On the official invite to the event, the company uses what initally looks like a standard Xbox brand logo, which on further inspection, appears to have been...

FIFA 14 in the crosshairs.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2014's creative director Kei Masuda claims that his series can reclaim the glory years, and take back their crown from EA's FIFA franchise. After suffering something of a decline of late - usually attributed to a lack of team and player licences, and an interative update process that makes EA's...

You can't bluff this.

It was due to be a double-handed dose of gaming goodness for Xbox Live Wednesday this week, with two potentially very strong games making their debut on XBLA. However, Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine has suffered a very late delay, so we're left with only one new game today. However, it does look like it could be a good one...

The bug has indeed been fixed, we're told, and the fix...
