The Call Of Duty ANZ Qualifiers have been run and won.  What we need is a montage.

The third in the BioShock franchise hits shelves next week; one of the shifts in the game-play from previous games is that BioShock Infinite features an AI controlled companion in the form of Elizabeth.  In this video the team at Irrational Games shows the behind the scenes thinking and acting that went into the creation of the character.

Lara Croft is back in the best Tomb Raider ever.  This reboot of the series sees Lara at her most vulnerable to begin with, but as the brutality of situation increases, Ms Croft shows her mettle.  Tomb Raider is one of the best games I have played in a long time.

Bill Gardner is a lucky man, as the Irrational Games’ user experience specialist, he gets to help steer the direction of one of video games’ beloved franchises.  BioShock Infinite is layered with concepts and intricate background that more than ever threatens to implode under its own weight.  It is after all a first person shooter, Gardner sat down with us to discuss the balance of story and setting with the simple game-play objective of blowing off virtual heads.

“It’s a bughunt”, if only that was a more specific definition of Aliens: Colonial Marines, and not a broader description describing the games coding as well.  Playing through Gearbox and TimeGate’s game over the weekend is not time that I will get back in my life.

For four hours we have spent time in the mysterious and dangerous floating city of Columbia.  Riding sky rails, playing with magical Vigors and trying to get our head around the ideology, iconography and, well, weaponry of BioShock Infinite.

Sony has begun the PS4 hype with a teasing video for a “PlayStation, The Future” announcement later this month.

I admit it, Dead Space startles me, so it was with the lights burning brightly and the soothing sounds of twittering birds happening nearby that I sat down to play through the Dead Space 3 demo and further content.  iTWire.com then spoke to Dead Space 3 Producer John Calhoun just why he and his team feel the need to scare the controllers from our hands.

The next epic scale iteration of GTA is due for release this coming September.  Three protagonists and the biggest game RockStar Games have every produced will hit store shelves later in the year.  Can RockStar Games ratchet up the game-play to make the release delay palatable to fans who are busting to play Grand Theft Auto V?

Having predicted 7 of the last 9 NFL Super Bowl champs why not turn to Madden NFL 13 to try and predict the winner of one of the world’s most watched games, Super Bowl XLVII ?

It is nearly time to destroy some H.R.Giger artwork, in the form of nasty face-huggers and extremely agile and vicious Aliens.  The latest Aliens: Colonial Marines Kick Ass trailer is here is a warning about the language, and the amount of strobing lights it contains.

It is the battle of the gruff speaking, beard wearing, virtual bros of Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II against, essentially, the same cast from Electronic Arts’ Medal of Honor: Warfighter.  Many sales of both these titles go to folks who immediately load up and exclusively play the multiplayer component.  But what of the effort that the developer puts into the games single player experience, who wins that dual?

With some of the most beloved characters harking back over 9 decades as well as owning the rights to the more modern popular names from the brilliant Pixar animated movies, Disney is well placed to launch into a multiplatform spanning, real-world collectible, video-game toy box.  Launched today is Disney Infinity a new way to adventure, enjoy and interact with your favourite fictional folk.

Fashionably late to the 2012 party arrives Far Cry 3, but it is one of the best dressed partygoers on the island.

Yes it is reminiscent of an early Xbox game named Brute Force, but having spent some hands on time and speaking to Insomniac’s Creative Director Brian Allgeier, Fuse may be able to surprise gamers.  There is certainly some apprehension about this release, but dig a little under the surface and jaded 3rd person shooter fans, and critics alike may find a lot to like.
