Virtual Reality is without a doubt the best way to feel like a superhero without having to actually leave the comfort of your own home and do something dangerous. I've featured a couple of offical titles on VR Corner in the past, like Iron Man VR which nails the feeling of being Iron Man way better than it nailed giving us some varied missions.

Even the most diehard Star Fox fans will likely admit it's one of Nintendo's most mismanaged series. I could sing Star Fox 64's praises all day; those fantastic space battles in the Arwing mean it's one of the few games I continue revisiting. However, later entries left the series struggling to establish a cohesive direction. Adventures wasn't originally a Star Fox game, Command's strategic gameplay didn't universally appeal, while gimmicky controls significantly hampered Zero.

Former EA and Microsoft exec, Peter Moore, says there are "serious questions" to be asked about video game hardware and whether or not there's a future for the traditional home console system.

The Digital Foundry Supporter Program has grown once again with the arrival of a brand-new show exclusive to backers. It's a companion to DF Direct - hilariously entitled DF InDirect - and its initial format should be recognisable to viewers/listeners of our weekly show as it's an extension to our existing Supporter Q+A section. The show is available to all backers on all tiers and it's available to watch or listen to right now - and there's a small sample on this page.

Welcome back! Let's Get Evil is a monthly series for Eurogamer Supporters in which Bertie rampages through games being as evil as he can. It sounds easy, but is it? And how much freedom does each game afford in this area? There's only one way to find out.

Following the launch of Sea of Thieves' radical structural overhaul last month, Rare is readying to release a new mid-season update next week that'll add anti-cheat and subscription-free solo play to its swashbuckling pirate adventure. Plus, a big 2024 content preview is on the way as part of Sea of Thieves' sixth anniversary celebrations.

Sea of Thieves, you might have heard, is heading to PlayStation 5 next month. It's a significant moment for all sorts of reasons – it's perhaps the biggest of the four Microsoft first-party titles recently confirmed for Sony's console, and it's also the first time developer Rare has released a PlayStation title in its nearly 40-year history – but it's also an opportunity for a whole new group of players to experience (and I say this as a huge Sea of Thieves fan) a wonderful, genuinely unique game. And with the multiplayer pirate adventure's 30th April launch on PS5 looming, I spoke to creative director Mike Chapman and executive producer Joe Neate about this latest milestone, the state of the game, and the team's big sandbox focus for 2024.

With a little over a month until Amazon's Fallout TV adaptation airs, Prime Video has released another trailer for the series.

There is an island in the Aegean, an island of stray cats and tumbling bougainvilleas, that has an instagram account devoted exclusively to its many doors. This account is a catalogue of variations on a theme, the theme being how you get in and out of a building, the variation being - well... Where to start? Modern doors, ancient doors. Doors of wood and doors of iron. Doors that are perfectly kept up, doors that are leaning, addled, barely hanging in there. Doors set with glass and doors set with grillwork. The doors are great individually, but it's together that they truly shine. You glimpse something of us as a species, I think, in their endless twists and reconfiguring, their fitness and anti-fitness for purpose.
