Mass layoffs hit OnLive, company assets sold
OnLive, 
the cloud-based streaming media company that many believed was the future of video games, reportedly laid off virtually all of its employees Friday, raising questions about its future.

Clown entertains kids with Steve Jobs’ stolen iPad

20 tips for getting the most out of your Xbox 360
Love 
it or hate it, the Xbox 360 isn’t going anywhere soon. It’s the oldest of the current consoles, but despite an onslaught of leaks and rumors, Microsoft has yet to officially acknowledge it’s working on a next-generation system.
In the real world, it’s a pretty safe bet that the next Xbox won’t hit stores before Christmas 2013. That means you’ve got another year — at least — with your current model. And while it might be a little long in the tooth, there’s still plenty of horsepower under the hood.
Who’s Who in Wreck It Ralph
The 
video game generation is about to get its own big screen love letter.

It’s getting plenty of buzz for its playful premise, but in gaming circles, the film is better known as “that movie with more gaming cameos than you can shake a stick at.”
Outcry prompts EA to retreat from real-world Medal of Honor weapon sales
Electronic 
Arts takes pride in the realism of the Medal of Honor series. It appears, though, that the publisher might have made things a bit too real this time.
In response to negative feedback from press and consumers, EA has quit promoting sales of several real-world weapons that carried Medal of Honor branding and has removed a series of blog posts touting the products, which included a tomahawk and sniper rifle.
Buy one, get one free: Sony introduces Cross-Buy
While 
many were betting Sony would use its pre-Gamescom press conference as the launch pad for a new round of PlayStation 3 price cuts — or even yet another redesigned model of the home console — the electronics giant opted to leave well enough alone for the time being.
That’s not to say the company didn’t have a couple new offers up its sleeve for fans. Though hardware prices weren’t reduced, Sony did unveil a new program dubbed Cross-Buy that will allow purchasers of select PS3 games to receive the Vita version as a free bonus.
Can the Ouya game console succeed?
It’s 
hard not to be impressed with the Ouya so far.
First unveiled in July, it’s a full-fledged home console system powered by the Android OS. Every Ouya is a developer’s kit, turning every owner into a potential developer for the system. It costs $99, hooks up to your TV, comes with a gamepad, and is the size of a Rubik’s Cube. Pretty compelling stuff.

Despite 
plenty of leaks, Microsoft has yet to officially confirm that it’s working on the next Xbox. But the first one may already have been sold.
