Edward Snowden is back in the news again today, after detailing to Wired during an extensive interview, that the NSA is working on a system that will not only be able to pinpoint DDOS and other more nefarious attacks against the US and shut them down automatically, but potentially even launch …

Anyone can understand that creating illegal images and distributing them via a service like Whatsapp could get you in trouble with the police, especially if they happen to come under England's controversial “extreme pornography” laws. However there's some concern arising over a recent case where two men found to have received – …

One thing consoles have always been a bit tighter on than PCs, is piracy. That's why I had to get a friend of a friend to modify my PS One back in the 90s so it could play pirated games (only in black and white for some reason), but it …

In the absence of a fifth series for a while yet and potentially even a greater wait for the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin, it can of course be tempting to read fan forums, or delve into theories about where …

The less said about Walking Dead: Survival Instinct the better. It was awful, let's move on, as clearly comic book series creator Robert Kirkman has, since he's hired on the likes of Overkill – the guys behind the Payday games – to make another shooter based in the zombie infested …

Left 4 Dead makers Turtle Rock, has been a little quiet about its upcoming man vs alien hunting romp, Evolve as of late, which is quite bizarre after weeks of massed of hype and promotion earlier this year. However today we're getting our latest look at the game, this time …

If you're heading to the Multiplay Insomnia i52 LAN party next week, then make sure you say hi if you spot us wandering around. On top of that though, you're probably going to want to stop by the YoYotech booth too, as it's teaming up with MSI to offer some …

There's been a bit of a glut of online survival games as of late, often pitting players against zombies, or strange demons and even dinosaurs, but in each of those instances you're playing as a human, usually a contemporary one: not so in WiLD. Despite its irritating capitalisation, WiLD is …

Mobile phone coverage in the UK might be a lot better now than it was ten years ago, but if you don't live in one of the major cities, making sure your home have enough bars to receive and make calls is an important consideration. That's why OfCom has recently …

Having a breakout application like Candy Crush Saga is a great way to earn yourself a lot of money very quickly, even if only a small per centage of the user base actually pays anything. Buy as we saw with Zynga in the past, it's not easy to continue the …

Steam has grown up a lot over the past decade, going from a curious way to get hold of Valve games, to the dominant portal that we all experience our titles through on the PC, but it's not in its final form just yet. There's a range of updates coming …

Overclockers Uk announced today that it it would be running a joint promotion with both Gearbox and Nvidia to give away free copies of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel with select Nvidia graphics cards, including: GTX 770, 780, 780 Ti and the monstrous Titan Black. Of course this will mean a sizeable …

British children of the future could be far more digital security concious than they are today, as a new scheme by American global aerospace and defence technology developer, Northrop Grumman, in cooperation with the UK, will see children aged between 12 and 18 at schools, scouts, cadets and other organisations, given …

It's rare to hear much from movie studio heads on the subject of piracy, other than the company line. It's almost always fire and brimstone in one guise or another, aimed at ISPs, site owners or maybe even the downloaders themselves. However there's a chance the tide could be turning, …

Ubisoft is very busy at the moment. Not only does it have two Assassin's Creed titles landing this year and a new Far Cry and The Crew following shortly after, it's also set to  publish Toy Soldiers: War Chest, an RTS, tower defence, shooter title from Signal Studios, which you …

EA might not have been voted the worst company in North America this year, but it sure does like to test its fans ability to stick with it. Last month it announced to the world that the next game in the Sims series, wouldn't feature the toddler phase or pools, …

Earlier this year, when the world's most recognised online drug's marketplace, Silk Road 2.0, was hacked and all of its users' bitcoins stolen, many considered it the death knell of the site and even the trade itself. Security and confidence in the site were torn asunder, as people came to …

Megaupload and Mega founder, Kim Dotcom, has been touring New Zealand in recent weeks alongside representatives of his sponsored Internet Mana Party, to help spread the word about the company's stance on copyright reform, personal privacy, internet developments and a number of other political points. However, he's had to conclude …

Yahoo has announced that along with search giant Google, it plans to develop an entirely secure, encrypted email service that will prevent hackers, governments or even themselves, from being able to read them – something that Mega founder, Kim Dotcom, has also pledged to create in the last year. As …

It was bound to happen eventually, just like the cease and desist notice that will follow its popularisation, but Defense of the Legends is a new modification being worked on for Valve's DotA 2 and it changes the game quite dramatically, with the eventual intention of making it so you …

Zombies were once a big interest of mine. When I first discovered the Walking Dead comics it was a revelation, Max Brooks' novels were a delight, but today, the genre feels a bit played out, especially in gaming where there's more undead head bashing than you can shake a stick …

Mobile phones have become indispensable to most of us in recent years. What started as a mere communication tool has now blossomed into the way many of us consume information, through news, media and social interactions. However, one aspect of contemporary smartphones that cannot beat the traditional (speaker) solution, is their ability to produce …

Crytek didn't drop off the TimeSplitters license when it sold the Homefront franchise to Deep Silver as you should know by now. That means that as far as anyone is concerned, the fan-made TimeSplitters Rewind game, which bundles together several levels from each of the previous TimeSplitters games and gives …

Expendables 3's fallout could go down as one of the biggest piracy related stories of the year. Not only was it leaked pre-release, but it was leaked at a decent quality too. This sent Lionsgate into a meltdown, with lawsuits, site take downs and presumably a lot of finger pointing …

It's very rare that a game remains popular for ten years, let alone maintains the multiple millions of monthly subscribers that World of Warcraft has, which is why this November when the MMO officially turns 10, Blizzard is looking to celebrate in style. To harken back to the early days …

Oh dear. Twitch, the video game streaming site that is most likely set to be bought out by Google for a billion dollars in the near future, has announced sweeping changes that will see whole 30 minute sections of videos on demand muted, if they are found to contain copyright protected …

One of the most noticeable aspects of the recent Joaquin Phoenix vehicle, “Her,” was that technology in this imagined future was very subtle. Instead of giving us a Minority Report near future filled with glass, aluminium and invasive advertising, we instead were shown a world where technology had retreated into …

Update: It's done it. Rosetta has reached the comet! The Rosetta Probe was launched into the cosmos over a decade ago back in March 2004, with plans to have it rendezvous with a comet, begin orbiting it – essentially sticking to it like the moon does with the Earth – and eventually …

According to US digital security firm Hold Security, a Russian criminal group has perpetrated the biggest hack in living history, stealing over 1.2 billion usernames and password combinations from over 400,000 different websites, many of them high profile. As it stands, Hold is unwilling to divulge which sites were affected, …

Most of us here at KitGuru are pretty big gamers, so it's no surprise that a few of us will be showing up at Multiplay's Insomnia 52 LAN party in a couple of weeks time. For those of you joining us, it's worth noting that if you need some new …
