Take a look through them in the gallery below for a look at the final Xbox Reveal Tent and a next-gen doormat. Is this the size of the living room you'll need to use Kinect 2.0?

And don't forget to join us later today for Microsoft's full reveal, where we'll be jumping into the live chat to talk with the VideoGamer.com community throughout the event.

Tom Orry, Editorial Director - Silent Hill 4: The Room: y cant i leave room?



I've had a few "Durrr!" moments in video games over the years, but the one that sticks out the most is undoubtedly the opening of Silent Hill 4: The Room. You start off in an apartment, and you're able to wander about. I did the usual video game routine of walking up to every object in order to see if I could interact with it, which included a phone and a window if I remember correctly. This ambling went on for about 30 minutes...

Today's broadcast is expected to include further information on Wii U's spring and summer line-up, presumably including a European release date for Pikmin 3 and updates on titles due to hit stores in the coming months.

Nevertheless, the rumours turned out to be true. Yesterday, Sony announced Gran Turismo 6 for release on PS3 this Christmas, albeit it alongside the suggestion from series creator Kazunori Yamauchi that the game could eventually work its way onto PS4, too.

But why did Sony stick to current-gen tech for the initial release of GT6, rather than...

Recommended: Metro: Last Light - Xbox 360, PS3 and PC

Ideal for those who are scared of the sun, Metro: Last Light throws you back into the dimly lit tunnels of a post-apocalyptic Russia and attempts to scare the crap out of you. An FPS in the more classic sense, you owe it to yourself to play this if you get a kick out of things that don't necessarily follow the standard gaming template.

Even better is that it succeeds too. Find out more in our review.

Worth a look

You get the feeling that, like Rico, The Bureau is against the clock. It's been a long time coming now, and hardly been the smoothest of rides - delays, design changes, another game called XCOM coming out and being critically acclaimed have all worked, in one way or another, against it.

A real game now that it's come to retail, you should go and play The Walking Dead today. More of an interactive adventure than your standard gaming affair, Telltale proves just how important and engaging story-telling can be. You don't just have to shoot zombies in the face to enjoy yourself. Who knew?!

We would implore you to go and download this immediately rather than wait till the end of the week - the iOS version isn't as good, mind - but if you're a sucker for a disc in a box, there are far worse things to...

Triathlons

A funny thing to get excited about, especially when in reality the prospect of even thinking about competing in a triathlon seems about as more terrifying than spiders and zombie Thatcher combined.

In San Andreas however, the combination of triathlons and an in-game week cycle turned me into the sort of iron man that would make Lance Armstrong's doping program proud. Every Sunday I'd change into my gym shorts, head down to...
