My wife complains that I’m overly logical; I struggle to understand emotions and pretty much everything I do is based on logic. I have no problems understanding a vast majority of criminals and evil people as their actions are often overly logical and they are simply missing the fact that they can’t control the world.

Everybody who actually loves videogames has been hating EA for quite a while now. they’ve scooped up the award for worst company in the US for two years in a row now; they’ve shafted PC gamers with their sports titles; they’ve made Dead Space a mindless action shooter and they completely messed up the launch of Sim City. and perhaps, those transgressions will all be forgiven at E3.

There's an unwritten rule when reviewing anything. It's the ol' “never compare apples with oranges” yarn. You've probably heard it a few times. There are even some commentators that are so adamant, that even the slightest transgression, results in eternal excommunication. I'm exaggerating – of course - but sometimes on those rare occasions when it's nearly impossible to find a coherent opening paragraph, you just have to slide the dunce cap onto your noggin, and plough into it, at full-speed on the“full-retard” setting.

Man, the new Call of Duty, Ghosts certainly looks impressive! Of course, that’s the sort of visual fidelity afforded by brand new, next generation engines. Only it’s not a new engine at all. In an interview with OPM, Infinity Ward’s animation lead Zach Volker admitted that while the engine is functionally new, it’s still based on the previous engine. Which was based on a previous engine. Which was based on idTech 3, the Quake 3 engine.

There’s currently a lot of internet negativity amongst core gamers about the next generation Xbox, The Xbox One. Gamers seems to have their panties in a twist over the used games thing, the implied DRM and the lack of games shown. they’re also largely unimpressed that the console seems to be more service oriented than focused on games. That’s the impression you’d get reading reading just about any gaming website.

After eight years of current-generationing, Microsoft is finally ready to move on and look towards the future. With Nintendo having fired the first shot in the next-gen war with the Wii U, Sony hit back with the Playstation 4 earlier this year. And from the rear, comes the Xbox . We’ll be updating as news arrives, so stay awhile, and listen!

If we’ve done this right, you should be able to watch the Xbox reveal event right here. If not, well then we’ve got egg all over our delightfully red, embarrassed faces. At 7Pm SA time, Microsoft will be unveiling its next-generation Xbox - and you can watch it all go down right here. Well, unless our server's still being mean to us.

The Xbox 360 got off to a flying start in this generation with the PlayStation 3 preferring to stay at home perfecting its make up before leaving for the race. By year 3 the Xbox 360 was miles ahead of the PS3 and unbelievably it decided to take a nap.

Many things can be said about the previous title in the Call of Juarez series, unfortunately since this is a respectful site not many of them can be reproduced here. So when a preview disc for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger landed on my desk I can’t say I was ecstatic about the opportunity. how wrong I was.

Today’s the big day. The big reveal. After months and months of rabid speculation and the feverish churning of the rumour mill, today we finally find out what’s inside Peter Molyneux’s cube! Incidentally, (and of much lesser import) today’s also the day that Microsoft reveals its next-generation Xbox. What are you expecting to see?

Resident Evil: Revelations - the upscaled, HD port of the 3DS survival horror puts the franchise back on the road to its roots. While it’s still largely an action-oriented experience, it brings back many of the survival horror elements that made the franchise a household name. Just not the typewriters. It’s out on other platforms - PC, Ps3, Xbox 360 and Wii U – this week. Let’s take a look at the critical consensus to see if it’s worth your cash.

Treat this as little more than a crazy rumour – but it could well be that Capcom’s planning on announcing the next numbered Resident Evil at this year’s E3.

Tomorrow evening we’ll be treated to not one, but two reveals. Microsoft will finally be showing the world its next generation Xbox successor, whatever it might be called. We’ll also be getting a proper first look at the next Call of duty, the Infinity Ward-developed Ghosts – which can’t really be copied and pasted this time, because it runs on a brand new, next-generation engine.
