News: All the important games industry news and gossip. Including Nintendo's 'Revolutionary' new controller, Game Boy Micro launches, getting our hands on an Xbox 360, a bloody Resident Evil controller, Microsoft sees double for Xbox 360 and the return of the Tasmanian Tiger. Plus all the usuals such as Charts, Poll Vault and View from the Hill.

Features:

  • Saint's Row - If the Grand Theft Auto series lit a fire under the ass of the action genre, Saint's Row burns down the whole damned house. We got an exclusive hands-on with one of the hottest games for Xbox 360.
  • Path of Neo - Just like the Matrix films, Enter the Matrix raised thought-provoking questions, but it had few satisfying answers, and even less satisfying gameplay. Path of Neo aims to settle it all.
  • Make Your PC Games Burn - If the 3D games you play on your PC resemble a slideshow more than a game, adding a new graphics card might just be the boost you need.
  • Retro Wrap-Up - Games from the past are now being forced into the present. Bow how do these games fare today? We took a look at some recent classics compilations.
