Microsoft unveiled today its next generation console: the Xbox ONE. Check out the latest images! 

Nintendo held another one of their popular Nintendo Direct presentations, this one broadcasted worldwide, showcasing new and upcoming titles for their Wii U and 3DS platforms.  Among the announcements was a surprise "worldwide partnership" with SEGA, cementing the relationship between two former rivals that will see the next three Sonic installments appearing exclusively on Nintendo platforms.

Let's take a look at this, and other announcements made by Nintendo on Friday's presentation.

Gran Turismo 6, the next iteration of developer Polyphony Digital’s “Real Driving Simulator” franchise, will be coming to PlayStation 3 this holiday season, Sony Computer Entertainment announced yesterday.

From acclaimed developer NetherRealm Studios comes Injustice: Gods Among Us, an all-new franchise in the fighting genre starring some of the most popular superheroes and villains from the DC Universe. The game features an original story from veteran DC Entertainment and comic book writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and is set in an alternate reality where the line between good and evil is blurred. Players will assume the role of a large roster of favourite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and many others.

In LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins you play as rookie cop Chase McCain as he arrives in LEGO City fresh out of police academy. This prequel to LEGO City Undercover on Wii U charts the rise of Chase McCain as he ascends in rank from rookie to super-cop within the LEGO City Police Department. During your adventure, McCain will have to go undercover using multiple disguises, each granting him with unique abilities, progressing from solving petty crimes to infiltrating the meanest gangs on the streets of LEGO City.

How about adding outdoor yoga to the mix and staying zen for the summer? Here are the best yoga apps to make it easier keeping you body feeling centered.

Today's gaming racing wheels are a lot more sophisticated, and even going so far to replicate leading race cars. Thrustmaster, a 20+ years leading gaming accessories company, is leading the way with beautifully crafted Ferrari licensed racing wheels that take your next race feeling like you're literally racing from the track.

Today Activision Publishing finally revealed Call of Duty: Ghosts, the next installment of their blockbuster first-person shooter series.  As expected, the title is being developed by Infinity Ward, the team that created the original Call of Duty game and defined a generation of gaming with their seminal Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise.

Veteran Pokémon Mystery Dungeon developer Spike Chunsoft is back with Gates to Infinity, an all-new Pokémon adventure brought to life with the rich stereoscopic 3D capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS. It’s the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game for the Nintendo 3DS, and thus the first in the series to be in 3D, complete with impressive eye-popping 3D Pokémon environments and characters. Add in the charming storyline, memorable cast of Pokémon pals, and accessible dungeon-exploring gameplay and Gates to Infinity has plenty to offer for newcomers and seasoned fans alike.

At face value, Lego City: Undercover looks like any other Lego game. Cute, family-friendly design, tame action and endless amounts of exploration make up the majority of this game, but underneath all of that lies a game full of tongue-in-cheek dialogue (gasp, there's even voice acting!), pop-culture parodies and plenty of laughs. Dare I say this is the best Lego game in the series?

Discussions about transmedia always interest me. As we intertwine with technology and entertainment there are always opportunities to evolve and expand in fresh new ways. Gaming is one avenue that hasn't been explored enough, but is already making the rounds, primarily with third-person MMO shooter, Defiance.

Defiance takes place in the decrepit San Francisco Bay Area after a massive terraforming calamity. With this change came the fall of plants and animals and the rise of a new species. With it also came several alien species which eventually lead to a war and even more devastation. Now living side by side, the humans and Votans must work together to find advanced alien technologies. Your job as an "Ark Hunter" is to find those remnants.

Coming off two months of packed game releases, May is looking to continue the trend with its fair share of big game titles.  The month is going to have a mild beginning but will quickly take off mid-month with the release of Metro: Last Light, followed by the HD remake of Resident Evil: Revelations and the upgraded 3D version of Donkey Kong Country Returns.  Rounding out May is the much-anticipated new IP from Insomniac Games, Fuse, and after a five-year wait, GRID 2 finally revs its engine.

Let's take a look at the games!

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 - Review

There are very few sports I actually enjoy playing in real life. Unfortunately, the ones I do enjoy require very specific areas to be played in -- sports like curling, surfing and golf. My family are all avid golfers and, as I grew up, I learned to appreciate the sport more and more. I will never be a pro and unfortunately don't get out as much as I would like but I still very much enjoy it when I get the chance to play. This, in turn, has always made me want to play golf video games as well. 

Starting with Golf on the NES and Pebble Beach Golf on the SEGA Genesis, I always found myself going back and playing them over and over. When the Nintendo Wii came out I mastered the Wii Sports golf course there as well (which, turns out, was the same as the NES Golf course, go figure). Shortly after that I started playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, since I was working at a video game store and my boss (being Scottish) insisted I start playing. This being my first HD golf game and playing with a controller, I was amazed at how highly detailed it was and how much skill was required to play the game. This made me very excited to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, which is EA’s most ambitious golf game yet and it did not disappoint.

Gears of War: Judgment takes players back 14 years before the events of the original Gears of War game. The story centres on the Kilo Squad, led by Damon Baird, during the aftermath of Emergence Day – the unforeseen, full-scale, and calculated planet-wide invasion of Sera by the Locust Horde. Gears of War: Judgment features a four-player co-op campaign with an all-new Declassification system allowing players to experience more challenges gameplay scenarios with higher rewards. Team-based competitive multiplayer returns, including the all-new OverRun mode, as well as Free-For-All – a series first.

There's nothing more affirming than having a game stay true to its original vision.  There are very few game series I can think of that are still just as they once were, and while change can serve as a great way to expand a series, sometimes it's that original vision that truly shines.
