By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt

Xbox Pure was actually contaminated
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
Xbox Pure was meant to be the name of an upcoming Xbox 360, perhaps a slimline version or a new 360 successor, but has turned out to be a fake blog posting to see which games sites would run with it. With so many rumours online, was this a fair test of a gamer site’s fact-checking skills?

Parents say chugging beer and watching porno less harmful for kids than playing GTA
By: Davey Winder
According to a new poll, parents are more concerned about their kids being exposed to video games than they are them either swigging back a beer or watching a porno flick. If that wasn't surprising enough, it seems that sex in games is a bigger parental turn off than virtual violence...

Nintendo: Devs knew about Wii MotionPlus, more storage coming
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
One of the big criticisms of Nintendo’s E3 announcement of the Wii MotionPlus add-on for more accurate motion control is that it kept the announcement to itself, leaving developers to learn about it through E3 – but it turns out that’s not quite the truth. An added storage option for the Wii is also being worked on!

E3: Sony should announce cheaper PS3s for the world (and Australia!)
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
With the Xbox 360 getting nice price cuts, and the Wii still competitively priced, the pricey PS3 looms large as the most expensive console with games and graphics that aren’t all that different from the Xbox 360. E3 is the moment Sony should grab hold of with both hands to slice the PS3’s price!
