These are issue that new kid on the block Prif hope to avoid when they launch their range of gaming accessories in the coming months. We have a little taste of the products below and will be bringing you news and reviews as the months go on.
The quote below outlines the stores strategy as they will be bringing us their own brand as well as the best of the rest and this is something we can not help but applaud.

"Good products and good solutions should be celebrated, whoever they are from, and we are happy to offer customers a range".

World of Tanks 9.9 update and its a big one

16/7/2015

 
Version 9.9 is ready for deployment. This update will bring some very interesting content and changes to some aspects of the game. Here’s a handy summary of what’s new:


 

Steel Hunt and Supply Swarm Events

The Domination event will be supplemented with two new modes: Steel Hunt and Supply Swarm. Both of these modes will have their own rules and objectives, and will be released progressively. Stay tuned for more info coming soon!

 

New Vehicles

Update 9.9 will bring two new vehicles to the game: The Spähpanzer 1.C and the Heavy Tank No. VI. The former is a German Tier VII light tank that will replace the Aufklärungspanzer Panther, and the latter is a Japanese Premium Tier VI heavy tank that is a version of the legendary Tiger. Stay tuned for more info coming soon!

 

Changes to the Map "Swamp"

The map "Swamp" will be reworked with this update to have more balanced gameplay. 

 

Some Fixes in Armour Mechanics

Once version 9.9 goes live, certain vehicles will undergo some changes and fixes in their damage models, which will result in changes for frontal armour effectiveness.

 

Graphical Improvements

The visual quality of the game will be improved for both Standard and High Quality clients. This will be particularly evident in the quality of shadows and water. These improvements will also translate into a better game performance.

 

Changes in Clan Wars

There will be a change in the display of Global Map battles in the statistics with version 9.9. It will be possible to access the performance of players by separate statistics for the Global Map, and those will not be mixed with random battles statistics.

  • Battles conducted on the Global Map will not be considered in the overall account statistics now. That info will be available in the statistics tab, then separately for battles of VI, VIII and X tiers.
  • The statistics of Global Map battles will be available in a separate tab in the game client, similarly to other modes.
  • All battles on the Global Map held after 9.9 will be added in the new tab.
  • All battles carried out on the Global Map until version 9.9 will be moved to the new tab for the Global Map battles, according to the following principle:
    • Battles with Tier IX, X tanks - in the Tier X section
    • Battles with Tier VII, VIII tanks - in the Tier VIII section
    • Battles with Tier VI tanks and below - in the Tier VI section
    •  
Important: Previously conducted battles will not be removed from the general statistics in order to avoid discrepancies in player profile before and after the change. Data migration of battles will take several days, during which some players may not see statistics displayed correctly. Battles conducted before version 9.9 will be moved with the starting point set to May 2012. Battles before this time will not be taken into consideration.

 

Vehicles Reworked for HD

This update reworks a total of 14 vehicles for HD quality, including some of the most popular tanks like the AMX 50 100, FCM 50 t, T-62A and VK 36.01 (H).

 

For complete list of changes and additions please refer to the Updates section on the website.

 

You will be able to experiment with all of this new content once the new update is implemented in the game. In order to make the changes, the game server will be undergoing maintenance on 15 July from 05:00 to 11:30 CEST (UTC+2).

IMPORTANT: Due to the update, the Global Map in Clan Wars will be undergoing maintenance from 15 July at 01:15 CEST (UTC+2) until 16 July, 01:15 CEST (UTC+2) during which it will be frozen. 

Players with a Premium account active during the maintenance will be compensated.

Minecraft: Story Mode is an all-new narrative-driven, five-part episodic game series, developed by Telltale in collaboration with Mojang. Set in the world of Minecraft, the game series introduces new characters and familiar themes, but is an entirely original Minecraft experience inspired by the game that continues to inspire a generation. 

Players will control protagonist Jesse throughout the season, as portrayed by actor Patton Oswalt. Jesse and his group of friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone; four adventurers who slayed an Ender Dragon. The Order are the very best at what they do: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect. While at EnderCon, Jesse and his friends discover that something is wrong... something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and they must set out on a journey to find The Order of the Stone if they are to save their world from oblivion.

"We've worked closely with the amazing team at Mojang to ensure this story is a natural fit for the Minecraft world fans already know and love," said Kevin Bruner, CEO and co-founder of Telltale Games. "As Jesse, players will steer their own path through a tale of adventure and survival; all brought to life by an all-star cast. Through Telltale's choice-based gameplay and a story spanning from the Nether to the Farlands, the End, and beyond, we can't wait for fans to experience this new take on the beloved world of Minecraft." 

 

"The interactive storytellers at Telltale are giving players the chance to explore their own unique interpretation of the Minecraft universe," said Owen Hill, Chief Word Officer at Mojang. "They've crafted a story that follows the logic of Minecraft, but still manages to feel original. It's actually pretty funny too. And the pig is adorable. We're super excited about players digging deeper into the world of Minecraft: Story Mode later this year."

 Minecraft: Story Mode will be a standalone product, separate from the core Minecraft game, and will be available to download later this year on PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and compatible iOS and Android-based devices.

Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series is currently in development, and is not yet rated by the ESRB. The series will be published digitally in 2015 by Telltale Games in partnership with Mojang.

At E3 2015 “Forza Motorsport 6” revealed for the first time, the first 117 cars that will make up the Forza 6 car list. Starting now and leading up to the release of “Forza Motorsport 6” on 18th September, we’ll be revealing details each week until we have the full car list for the game, including additional information on the new tracks being brought to the racing world as well.

Today’s Forza Garage announcement kicks off with the announcement of ten FIA Formula E cars making their debuts in “Forza Motorsport 6.” Last weekend’s 2015 Formula E season finale brought city circuit racing back to the city of London after a 40-year hiatus. NEXTEV TCR driver Nelson Piquet Jr. was crowned as the first Formula E champion after finishing seventh place at the Battersea Park circuit, earning enough points to secure the first Formula E title.

Here are the cars who competed this season and will be in “Forza Motorsport 6”:
 

2015 Formula E #55 Amlin Aguri Spark SRT_01E

2015 Formula E #11 ABT FE 01

2015 Formula E #10 Trulli Spark SRT_01E
