LATEST ADDITIONS

Fans of the long-running and convoluted Metal Gear franchise may be left feeling a little short-changed by this latest addition. Ground Zeroes is described as a prequel/prologue to next year's Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain (the two titles, says developer Kojima Productions, form a singular work), and that's certainly apparent in terms of the scope on offer. Completing it shouldn't pose any problems to competent gamers, with the side-missions and main storyline holding your attention for a few hours, maximum.

Back in 1995 Louisiana detectives Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) solved the ritualistic murder of a former prostitute that was connected to a series of other missing person reports. Flash-forward to 2012 and it looks like the murders have started up again. So what exactly happened all those years ago and why did the now-retired cops' friendship come to such a bitter end?

Digital TV whiz Manhattan has announced that it will be releasing a new line of 'high-performance' Freetime set-top boxes, joining the likes of Panasonic and Humax in supporting Freesat's next-gen TV platform.   Buyers of the new Manhattan Freetime range (precise hardware details are still to be announced) will be able to roll back the EPG over seven days to access on-demand content from BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD, and Demand 5, and use Showcase, Freesat’s programme recommendation service. The Manhattan boxes will also be compatible with the Freesat mobile companion app, which allows recordings to be scheduled from a smartphone/tablet. 

It sometimes feels like the only point of innovation most game developers bring to online shooters is the variety of weapons players are given to kill each other. Where Titanfall succeeds is its focus on redefining how you move around the world on offer.
