FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch is a curious beast: a game not quite last gen, not quite current gen. It's a game that on the face of it looks significantly inferior to the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions, but viewed as a portable game is pretty impressive.

A couple of weeks ago I played a new Escape the Room experience which blew my mind a little bit - where, part-way through, we were suddenly introduced to another, separate room to explore.

22 years later - long after the sad closure of Studio Liverpool - the iconic WipEout series has a first UK chart number one. Ironically it's a collection of old games, in the WipEout Omega Collection on PS4, that achieved it.

That, then, was Bethesda - 30 minutes that made you wonder if the publisher really has enough games to warrant a conference of its own. Still, away from the recaps of existing games and drawn out CG trailers there was the highlight of E3 so far, Machine Games' phenomenal looking Wolfenstein 2 - and it's out later this year. This is how it unfolded.
