Next week we finally get to play the Tiny Tina DLC for Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep and it feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this one.  There have been plenty of video previews of the gameplay but I will mention that I am going to mention some spoilers so beware reading from here on out.  What we are going to look at though is a few tips on what to expect from the DLC.

Today information was released on some of the weapons that will be available for the DLC and…

When E3 comes around one thing that we as gamers always like are the surprises.  There are rumours of games in development, and talks behind closed doors with the lucky few who get to see progress on these secret games, but we always expect them to turn up in some shape or form.  One of these games that crept up on us this year was Tom Clancy’s The Division.  With murmurs that this was the next Ghost Recon game, which is kind of is, the preview given at E3 opened many eyes up to the sheer sc…

If Apple is truly serious about TV (all the signs suggest the company is) then the major channels will have to be on board. Apple TV has proved a modest success with 10 million units sold, but any future Apple TV set will have to carry a broad range of shows and movies, something that is reported to be a major reason why we have not seen such a product.

Apple’s “must have total control” policy does not go over well with the TV and movie companies, but today the company announced a breakth…

Another Microsoft collaborator has put the boot into Windows 8 today as Huawei CEO Richard Yu called the Windows Phone platform “weak”. The barb comes as the latest in a long line of companies who use Windows as a platform saying that the latest iterations have problems, with Acer, HP, and Samsung all having their say over the underperforming OS.

On the mobile front, Windows Phones has started to make inroads, and a solid range of handsets running the platform has given it a chance for su…

Apple announced iOS 7 last week to mutterings of shock in the tech media. The company delivered on rumours suggesting that the “updated” operating system would be a radical change from what has gone before. Indeed, iOS 7 is best viewed as an entirely new piece of software as opposed to an updated version of something we already know.

For those intrigued by iOS 7 but unsure whether to take the plunge when the mobile operating system is rolled out, you can now test drive the system. Apple h…

If you want HTC’s flagship device you will of course have to buy the excellent HTC One, but the company’s latest effort is also giving the high-end kicks and will prove a fine alternative to the One. The HTC Butterfly S has been revealed today at a Taiwanese press event, and we have to say it even manages to best the HTC One in some things.

What it cannot beat the HTC One for is looks, but that is not to say the Butterfly S is ugly, it isn’t. In fact to some eyes it may seem bold with its…

Samsung has today announced a new budget smartphone in its Galaxy range in the form of the Galaxy Ring. The device will be an exclusive for Virgin Mobile, at least in the United States, and will cost $180. And despite its affordable price tag, it does look as though the Galaxy Ring will pack plenty of bang for the buck.

The new handset looks very well built considering it humble price, and there is also plenty of good news elsewhere. The Samsung Galaxy Ring will feature Android 4.1 Jelly …

Sony scored huge points last week with the gaming community when the company revealed the news that the PlayStation 4 will be open and unrestricted, allowing for gamers to use second hand games. The new console will also not require online check-in like Microsoft’s already controversial Xbox One.

Sony executive Jack Tretton claimed that the reason Sony had decided to make second hand games accessible is because the PlayStation 4 is a consumer focused machine. Indeed it seems if Sony stick…

Over the last week there has been a lot of chatter on social media around Nintendo DS players.  There have been requests for friend codes and talk of islands and turnips and cute little houses that seem to have people obsessed.  That’s right, Animal Crossing is back and people are obsessed over it yet again.  If you’ve got Animal Crossing: New Leaf you’ll probably want a few tips to get you started.

One of the most obvious things, especially looking at other players is that this is a game…

When other games were taking centre stage at E3 and making big news with their next generation gameplay and graphics, it’s fair to say that Thief: Out of the Shadows was much quieter even though it was there in a form.  Hidden in the shadows the preview shown did show some progress of the reboot of the cult PC title, but it’s fair to say it didn’t set the world on fire.

Thief is the latest IP that Square Enix has given the reboot process to, the other two have been Deus Ex: Human Revoluti…
