Borderlands 2 pitches itself as a nightmarish, psychopathic blitzkrieg shoot-em-up featuring unrealistically huge guns, even bigger enemies and franti...
The true 'sequel' to mobile gaming mega-hit Angry Birds has been revealed - at last. Bad Piggies was announced last month - but no video of the gam...
When a developer for Borderlands 2 described a new skill-tree as 'Girlfriend Mode', the uproar was enormous. What he meant was that the game was ma...

Microsoft has filed a patent for a future-generation gaming system which could theoretically bring the HoloDeck from Star Trek to life. Drawings fr...
Some games can be as cinematic as movies - but once they're turned into films, they are rarely as good as you'd hope. Despite that, it seems like a...
Game culture is everywhere - on our phones, in our living rooms, and on our movie screens, though we have yet to see games played out in public, in our cities or on our high streets. There are playgrounds, where children can play on their own, and there are betting shops, where adult players can gamble, but an immersive space where kids and adults can mingle through play?
Get ready to stop working: Atari and Microsoft have released an 'arcade' of classic games for free. Celebrating Atari's 40th birthday - and Microso...

It's all been about 'inspiring a generation', about getting kids away from the telly and playing sports, exercising, essentially facing the spectre of obesity head on by running really fast, running for a really long time, running half-way along a stage before doing handstands or just running out of breath doing something that doesn't involve an X-Box. Sounds like a great idea.
Interest in the Games might be at an all time high - but games as a whole aren't keeping our interest, new figures suggest. UK video game retailers...
I think it's interesting that the inventiveness and diversity of game culture (and its gigantic, widespread popularity) hasn't really integrated with the Olympics. We have athletes and broadcasters and a vague exhortation from the powers that be to get out there and be more active, yet almost nothing that inspires us to play ourselves.
If Olympic visitors are not travelling to the West End then where are they going? The answer is Westfield Stratford City and it's been billing itself as the gateway to the Olympic Park
Of all the games we'll be watching, playing (and attempting to steal...) at Gamescom in August, the new SimCity is at the top of our list. Perhaps ...
'Inspire a Generation'. Never has a slogan for a sporting event been as apparent as following Friday night's opening ceremony.
A man has been arrested at the Olympic shooting competition on suspicion of assault. The incident took place at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woo...
Reading about the athletes reminded me that such pride and inspiration is a key ingredient of the Olympics. These people have worked unbelievably hard to reach the top of their game and in the coming days they'll be competing at world-class level, representing their country, in front of their home crowd.
The 3D 'Holodeck' could be made into a reality if a project to create a 360-degree virtual reality simulator comes to fruition. The Project Holodec...

It has taken a huge collective effort to put these Games on track to be the most sustainable to date - from the organisers, to campaign groups like these, and to an assurance body like ours which is tasked with being the bastion of impartiality and good evidence.
