Hitman devs IO Interactive has been cut in half in order to cut costs, and the studio will now focus exclusively on the stealth franchise that has made their name.

EA tells Nintendo that to get them back they'll need to sell more consoles.

State of Decay has sold more 500,000 copies since launch, making it the fasting selling original title on Xbox Live.

Peter Molyneux has been talking about how Microsoft's ecosystem doesn't really support indie developers.

We've got tons of E3 gameplay on the site today: Driveclub and Gran Turismo 6 lead the chasing pack.

Gun Monkeys are heading to Steam, Phoenix Wright will be talking in Japanese and English but not a lot else, Oculus Rift has secured additional funding, and Gamereactor's Smart TV app has gone worldwide.

And the round things off, at E3 we got hands-on with Ryse: Son of Rome, and we've been storming the Pacific beaches of WWII in Rising Storm.
