By Dave Rudden Xbox at E3 2016 In any other year, Microsoft would have been the clear winner with what it showed at E3 2015.

By Hugh Langley Pokemon Go For years, gamers have yearned for a full blown, online Pokémon multiplayer game. It might sound like a realisable dream but it’s clear that Nintendo and the Pokémon Company would prefer to keep their Pocket Monsters, well, in our pockets for now. Pokémon Go finds an interesting middle ground, using…

By Jon Porter The 3DS may no longer be the spring chicken it once was, but there’s life in Nintendo’s handheld yet as it’s been announced that the handheld has just passed 60 million sales worldwide. The news that its console has sold over four times the amount of its closest competitor, the PlayStation Vita,…

By Dave Rudden Sony at E3 2016: What we want to see Sony enters E3 2016 in an enviable position; the PS4 has a commanding lead amongst consoles, Uncharted 4 recently released to rave reviews and Sony itself has proven adept at giving the fans what they want at the year’s biggest game conference this…
