Microsoft has realized the mistake in their strategy for the Xbox One, and have completely removed online requirements from their upcoming console, the Xbox One. Not only that, but the company did something not done with the Xbox or Xbox 360: the Xbox One will be region free.

Developers who worked on Rage, the Call of Duty series, Lost Planet, Madden and Planetside 2 are teaming up to bring what the world truly needs: a virtual reality sex adventure for Oculus Rift called Wicked Paradise.

Bethesda had a press only presentation behind closed doors at E3 last week, and apparently it was Fallout 4. It's alleged to be coming to Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4 and PC in October 2015 - it's 55% done?

It's been in development since January 2011 by a small dev team, according to leaks. Skyrim's development ending beefed up the Fallout 4 effort. A 37 second trailer was shown to attendees.

22Cans' Peter Molyneux has criticised Microsoft for their rather poor 'ecosystem' for supporting indie and small developer projects, adding it "drives me crazy." With Windows and Xbox you'd think they'd go all out.

He remarks it's a "wasted opportunity" that Microsoft doesn't foster an ecosystem combining the two in a "truly encouraging way." He understands the need for secrecy because of leaks, but "it doesn't seem right".

Bethesda Game Studios has revealed in an interview that the game the developer is working on won't be announced anytime soon, and that gamers shouldn't assume it's Fallout 4.

Just because EA and AMD are all chummy doesn't mean that other parties are getting the cold shoulder. Frostbite 3 was shown off with optimisations for AMD hardware, but that's just to prove day one support.

DICE doesn't operate a "partnership with AMD specifically" with Battlefield 4, but for the purpose of optimising the tech for AMD gamers. Nvidia nor Intel are being side-lined with Frostbite 3.

Runic Games' action-RPG Torchlight is entirely free of charge via GOG.com as part of their 2013 #NoDRM Summer Sale, where over 500 titles with no DRM are "at least 50% off" for over two weeks.

All that DRM talk surrounding E3 was depressing, says GOG.com, so they're giving away Torchlight. There are going to be plenty of daily deals so best to check-in regularly.

Garry's Mod creator Garry Newman is working on a first-person open world survival game, Rust, which can best be described as a cross between Minecraft and Day Z.

The PC version of Joe Danger 1 and 2 will feature content from Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft (in Joe Danger 2 only), to allow some interesting levels.

WB Games Montreal is behind Batman: Arkham Origins, not franchise creator Rocksteady, and so creative director Eric Holmes says people "have the right to be cynical" about what type of game this will be.

He implores those who can to try it out at event booths, and that fans will see it's "authentic and uses the same underpinnings" as the Arkham series. There's plenty to draw a crowd with.
