This beautiful place is, incredibly, the UK town known as Ipswich. It's been given a thorough reworking by designers working on behalf of local music and arts festival Switch Fringe, who have given it a superbly stylish Zelda spin. Read More >>

When it comes to console design, historically none of them have been particularly sleek. They've been machines created to stand out, to look bold on store shelves and to shout out loud and proud that you're a gamer.

As E3 closes up shop for the year, we finally have a moment to reflect on a week of gorging ourselves on news about the continuing console war between Microsoft and Sony (and, uh, Nintendo). It's all very new and exciting news about the next half-decade of gaming, but in a lot of ways, it feels like the same old fight we've been having for decades now. It's time for something new.

There's a very good chance that if you're a fan of Star Trek, you're also a fan of video games.

It's almost the weekend and we're right in the mood for a tablet showdown -- a tussle between the market leader and a young pretender, battling it out for your affection and cash money. Read More >>

This week, Apple released its first-ever instructions for designing and developing a game controller for use with Apple products. The evidence suggests that Apple is gearing up take gaming beyond the confines of its products. It's going to condone console-style game development. And today's game controller for iOS 7 could mean that tomorrow's Apple TV is a full-on gaming platform. Read More >>

A lot of mud has been slung Microsoft's way this week; much of it deserved. Used game restrictions, mandatory internet check-ins; these new impositions don't sit so well with everyone. But they also distract from the single worst thing about the Xbox One, which was also the single worst thing about Xbox 360: The tyranny of Xbox Live Gold subscriptions. Read More >>

Given that the Wii U is kinda flopping, you'd think that releasing onto popular smartphone platforms would be an instant goldmine for Nintendo, home of the basically-made-for-mobile-gaming Mario Bros and Pokemon. But it looks like if their CEO has anything to do with it (spoilers: he does), that ain't gonna happen. Read More >>

Sony have confirmed to GameTrailers that DRM on the PS4 will be down to the game makers to decide: they don't want to "dictate", they just want to "give them a platform to publish on". And make a fair wodge of cash, of course. Read More >>

You can already get beloved board games like Monopoly on your tablet that provide a somewhat similar experience to the original cardboard sets. But they'll never fully replace those old versions because they lack the tangible satisfaction of grabbing a pair of dice, going through your shaking ritual, and tossing them across the table—oh wait, what's that? Scosche just released a set of wireless dice that work with tablets and smartphones? (Throws Monopoly in the garbage.) Read More >>
