There is an update for FireFox available to address a security flaw. For FireFox users you can get the update here or alternatively there is a fix for just the security issue here. There are also updates for Mozilla itself and Thunderbird. According to Neowin.net the patch was released within hours of the flaw being discovered and future versions of Firefox will include automatic update notifications, to make it easier for users to be alerted to security fixes. Neowin adds, "It should also be noted that this flaw effects all browsers for the Windows operating system which take advantage of the "shell" function, not just Mozilla.".

Hardware Zone brings news that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is due in September and will be launched at the Game Stars events in London.
Konami has revealed that it would be using the massive consumer event, Game Stars Live, to show off for the very first time, its newest iteration of Pro Evolution Soccer 4.
The event runs from September 1st to 5th at London's ExCeL exhibition facility in Docklands and will boast a showroom floor the size of 3 football pitches.

HL2Fallout have a new article up discussing the hardware requirments for Half-Life2. It's mostly a fairly basic but there are some interesting areas worth reading.

eurogamer.net reports the Halo2 release date has been confirmed for November 11th, 2 days after the US date.

Blues News have covered a few videos that have come out recently. The
Xpand Rally video is worth a look if you like rally games, and there is a making-of video available for Driv3r.
