Website vgleaks.com is claiming a world-wide exclusive by revealing the full spec for the upcoming next-generation Xbox, codenamed Durango. While there is obviously no official substantiation for the information posted, key elements of the spec match the overall outline of the hardware we have received from trusted sources and the leaker has come forward with proof about the origins of the information - and it appears genuine.

Despite its general release two months ago, Nintendo's Wii U console would remain something of a technological mystery. We quickly gained a good idea of the make-up of the IBM tri-core CPU, but the system's apparent strengths are in its graphics hardware, and in that regard we had little or no idea of the composition of the Radeon core. Indeed, it's safe to say that we knew much more about the graphics processors in the next-generation Xbox and PlayStation. Until now.

Destructoid's PlayStation 4 controller image leak is more significant than overnight reports have suggested. Our sources confirm that what you're actually looking at is a complete Orbis dev kit - our first look at what we believe is advanced development hardware. The Dual Shock 4 prototype itself is a significant leap beyond its predecessor, featuring a two-point touchpad interface and, in addition, a built-in loudspeaker and what we understand to be integrated PlayStation Move functionality.

Having failed to find a sustainable business model in its original form, cloud gaming technology is coming home. By the end of the year, several major manufacturers will be offering players the ability to stream gameplay from PCs to mobile devices and set-top boxes in the home - with next-gen consoles perfectly positioned to follow suit.

If Ubisoft's leak-ridden reveal of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag was a ship, it would have already sunk to the bottom of the ocean. While hundreds of journalists queued last week for their first official peek, details of the game's what, where and who were already available online: product art showing a new assassin buccaneer, a map of the Caribbean and a name - Edward Kenway, grandfather of Assassin's Creed 3's Connor.

It feels like things have been fairly quiet on the Gears of War: Judgment scene so far. Strange, really, seeing as it's the latest instalment in a series for which quietness is not what the marketing people might refer to as a 'brand value'. Judgment's not a particularly quiet game to play, either. Reassuringly - even comfortingly - noisy, it's loud enough to dislodge ceiling cornices and to send loose change spasming across tabletops. It has perhaps picked up a reputation for being something of an afterthought, though: the trilogy's over, the main character is MIA, the bulk of the original developer is presumably doing other things.
