"Why did I move here?" A male voice asks. "Guess it was the weather." The countdown is over. The Grand Theft Auto V trailer went live a few minutes ago, and it reveals a lot...through revealing next-to-nothing at all.
Battlefield 3 review

Watch the Grand Theft Auto V trailer right here
After the massive announcement by Rockstar on Tuesday, it's fair to say that rumours have been rife as to what will occur in the trailer next week. This has caused so much of a stir that the stars of Rock have even decided to create a countdown; but this is no ordinary countdown, as you can see below.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception review
Uncharted 3 isn't one to reinvent the wheel, and for that it feels as if it somewhat lacks the sheer determination of the predecessor's incessant urge to completely immerse you around every single corner. However, this doesn't discount that Naughty Dog continue to prove that they arethe masters of their craft.
Editorial: Shut up Michael Pachter. Nobody cares and you're wrong anyway.
For those uninitiated, Michael Pachter is a high profile gaming research analyst who provides opinions and predictions as to how the video game market will metaphorically swell and fade.
I have nothing against the man himself, I think his Twitter argument with Jamie Kennedy was hilarious. There is, however, one issue. Built upon the foundations of a business M.B.A and years of credibility gaining with Forbes, what you find is someone who has managed to make a worthwhile living through either stating the obvious or being wrong.
Forza Motorsport 4 review
Gran Turismo 5's 2.0 patch (a hefty 1GB update) is finely-tuned to bring added life to a misfiring racer, but it's Forza Motorsport 4 that leaves us with the sense that we've just experienced the 'real driving simulator'.
Whether it's in admiring the piercing headlights and curvaceous body of the Italia 458 in Autovista (strangely mesmerising), choosing to go mano-a-mano in Rivals, re-instating pride for your loyal Club in multiplayer or getting behind the wheel, Kinect in-tow, for some nerve-shattering, bumper-to-bumper, old-fashioned racing; Forza 4 is, quite simply, the full racing package.

The drought of game releases over the summer period has come to an end; nights are drawing in, the temperature is moving closer to zero, and the release calendar is stuffed to capacity. But where best to place your hard-earned cash? Distancing ourselves from hyperbolic hype speak and unreachable expectations, what should you really be investing your time into? Over the coming weeks, allow New Rising Media to round-up the week’s freshest, most tantalising new releases.
The Gadget Show shoots back at FPS players with simulator
Everybody's looking for more realism nowadays in their video games, and this is done primarily through simulators. Since we've grown tired of racing simulators, The Gadget Show are looking beyond the traditional bunch of branded peripherals and teabaggings of the FPS genre to bring you the simulator you've been waiting for.
Editorial: The importance of video game visuals
True photo-realistic visuals within gaming are, to many, the Holy Grail of the medium.
It’s why game developers strive to produce the most stunning ultra hi-res textures, multi-
million polygonal models and sophisticated lighting models on a daily basis, satiating our
appetite for such sparkling HD fare.
Batman: Arkham City review
Think Bioshock 2; but in Gotham city and you're part way there of defusing just what Rocksteady has done.
