Another interesting day of news, with plenty coming from GDC 2012 for you to check out.

We've also got loads of GRTV content for you to feast your eyes on. Gillen talks to Valve about Counter-Stike: Global Offensive, Bengt talks to skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, and Gillen and Mathias continue their discussions, with particular focus on Kinect Star Wars and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour.

There are rumours surfacing that the next Xbox will NOT have a disc drive. It's pure speculation, but interesting nonetheless.

More speculation has been put to rest, with Valve confirming that they are not planning on releasing a new console (dubbed the Steam Box by speculators).

GAME and Gamestation are hosting what can only be described as fire sales. Word on the street is that senior management were told that the company has two weeks to turn things around before the administrators arrive.

Sony has been talking about how positive the launch of the PS Vita has been in the US.

That's all for now. Have a good weekend.
