E3 is fast approaching and TVGB plans on being there to get the lowdown on everything we can, so in case anyone is looking for me, I have gone to arrange my travel plans.

Let alone the announcement of DJ Hero 2. That is why it’s no surprise to read about developer FreestyleGames talking with “incredible musicians” to get involved...

First of all, forgive the pun in the title. I just had to do it. Secondly, the meaning of it was to point out the fact that Steam has now made Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, the expansion to the ever so popular and award-winning RPG, available for pre-order. So those of you who’ve been itching to make your wallets $40 or €30 lighter, head...

When Mass Effect 2 was revealed to be shipping on two discs, Community Manager Chris Priestly said it was “because you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc.” We liked that. However, he also said, “You do not swap back and forth. One swap and then done.” But it seems that’s no longer the case. According to a report over at IGN, during...

The PS3 may have finally been hacked by George Hotz, the man responsible for the Jailbreak bypass on the iPhone. Hotz (known online as GeoHot) claimed on his blog on Friday to have gained read/write access to the system memory and also HV level access to the processor, after just five weeks’ work.
