The debut trailer for Treyarch's latest CoD outing has been revealed, showcasing the game's quasi-futuristic setting, those weird helicopter things from Avatar, and, erm, horses. Set in 2025, Black Ops II features a slightly more modern aesthetic than its predecessors, with a premise not too dissimilar to that of The Terminator's. It appears that mankind's super hi-tech, super powerful creatio... more.

Project C.A.R.S is an upcoming racing simulator from British developer Slightly Mad Studios (Need for Speed: Shift series), developed via a crowdsourcing model. In January, it was confirmed that the game would be making its way to the Wii U, making it one of a select few serious racing sims to appear on a Nintendo system. The Wii U version will likely pull off some of the pretty DirectX 11 effe... more.

A couple of days ago, a nameless sequel to Michael Ancel's stellar platformer Rayman Origins was accidentally outed by a survey issued by Ubisoft's marketing partner Arkenford.  The survey promised "brand new settings; legendary worlds filled with castles, vampires, ghosts, Greek gods, or dragons", but not much else was revealed about the title we now know to be Rayman Legends.

According to recent job listings placed on Ubisoft Quebec's Facebook page, of all places, it seems the French developer is hard at work developing an 'AAA' MMO game, with a couple of the positions hinting at a possible Wii U release, or maybe even exclusivity. The studio handled the Wii and PSP versions of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and, more recently, helped with the development of... more.

If you still don't know what Nitronic Rush is, you should probably go and read this. If you're super-lazy, I'll summarise: it's an action/survival racing game for PC developed by a team of students. It looks like Tron, it plays like the lovechild of Rollcage and WipEout, and it's completely free to download. We recently had the chance to fire a few questions the way of the guys and girls at Tea... more.

The Legend of Zelda - a franchise whose heralded name has become practically synonymous with the world of videogames, and in particular its parent company, Nintendo. An epic 25 years in the making which has been there since the days of the NES, and looks set to continue inspiring and influencing the industry for the forseeable future.

It was speculated a couple of days ago, but when Codemasters' communications manager Ade Lawton published this horrifically bad tweet - "No yolk. Eggciting times." -  it was just a matter of playing the waiting game.
