Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is always good for one or two big reveals, and this year, a sleek new PlayStation 3 model dominated Sony’s TGS presentation. The first thing you’ll notice is this thing looks sleek. It’s tiny, and roughly 1/4 as heavy as the previous PS3 model. It will…

Fond of Rayman Origins and wishing you could play the game on your iOS device? Well, you still can’t, but perhaps Ubisoft is making up for it with the release of Rayman Jungle Run. The game runs on the very same engine that powered Origins and the retina display on…

Activision’s Tony Hawk rebirth continues as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD arrives on the PC by way of Steam. Previously only available on the Xbox and PS3, Tony Hawk makes his way to the PC fairly intact and identical to the console versions. So, I said ‘fairly’ and there’s a…

The fifth and final (if you don’t count Skyfall) James Bond mission has been set for mega-crossover game 007 Legends. What better way to round out the game than with the iconic Goldfinger? It does, in all fairness, seem a little odd(job) to see Daniel Craig starring in Goldfinger and…
