| | Telltale's The Walking Dead coming to Australia Jan 22nd 2013, 01:27 Adventure game The Walking Dead receives an MA15+ rating in Australia; can now be officially sold in the country. 
It looks like Telltale Games' episodic adventure series The Walking Dead is headed to Australian shores. The Australian Classification Board's website revealed that the game series has received a MA15+ rating, with consumer advice noting "strong themes and horror violence". The news will appease Australian fans of the adventure game series. Telltale revealed early last year that it had no plans to release the multi-platform title in Australia and New Zealand due to strict rating laws. Australia officially introduced an adult classification for video games as of January 1 this year, allowing R18+ rated games to be sold at a national level. Prior to its classification, the game series was obtainable on PC and Mac via digital games retailer Steam, or purchased online through Telltale's own site. With the new MA15+ rating granted, it will be officially available for Australian gamers. GameSpot reached out to Telltale for comment last year on the possibility of an Australian release following the introduction of an adult rating for games. The studio's reply is below. Telltale's The Walking Dead is a single-player episodic game that is based on Robert Kirkman's comic book series. It stars Lee Everett, a man convicted of a crime, but given a chance to redeem himself, albeit in a world infested with the undead. UPDATE: Telltale today confirmed it is planning to release The Walking Dead in Australia, telling GameSpot: "Telltale can confirm today that the award-winning game series The Walking Dead was submitted to the Australian Classification Board and has received a rating of MA15+. The game will be available for purchase digitally on consoles via Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network very soon. We will confirm expected release dates shortly. Retail release dates for The Walking Dead on XBOX 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in Australia will also be announced in the coming weeks." Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
| | Xbox 720 hardware detailed - Report Jan 21st 2013, 19:16 Microsoft's latest console is rumoured to include 8-core CPU, Blu-Ray, a DirectX 11.1-capable GPU and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. 
The rumours surrounding Microsoft's successor to the Xbox continue to mount, with one website claiming to have had access to the machine's specifications in full. According to technical documents acquired by VGLeakz, the console will feature an 8-core CPU, Blu-Ray, a DirectX 11.1-capable GPU and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. The site also claims that the next Xbox's processor will feature an x64 8-core CPU with a clock of 1.6Ghz. Each "CPU thread has its own 32KB L1 instruction cache and 32KB L1 data cache", while both modules "of four CPU cores has a 2MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4MB of L2 cache." On top of that, "each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources" and "each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock," according to the site. Elsewhere in the document, the Xbox 720 - codenamed Durango - will allegedly feature 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 6x Blu-Ray drive and 32MB of embedded SRAM. The GPU will support DirectX 11.1, run at a core of 800mhz and feature 12 shader cores which provide "a total of 768 threads." The document reports that at peak performance "the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second." The document also claims that Microsoft's latest version of Kinect is always present, presumably indicating that the motion-sensor will be build into the machine itself. Another point mentioned is that a SATA 2.0 "hard drive is always present", suggesting that Microsoft's next machine won't allow for optional hard drives in the way the Xbox 360 did. Rounding off the rumoured specifications is support for HDMI 1.4a, 802.11n Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 alongside a bevy of codecs, multi-channel echo cancellation for Kinect and "cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing". Microsoft is expected to formally announce its next Xbox within the next few months. Elsewhere in next-gen rumours, last week it was reported that Sony's controller for the PlayStation 4 would include an LCD touch-screen and biometric sensors.
