Earlier this month Double Fine Productions launched a Humble Bundle asking people to vote on their favourite pitches for game prototypes. The people have spoken and these prototypes were created over the last few weeks and revealed earlier today in a livestream.

I've been meaning to write about Abandon Ship, the PC game that looks a bit like Sid Meier's Pirates meets the wonderful FTL, ever since the release of the eye-catching announcement trailer back in November 2016.

It only took nine years, but the 2008 Wii platformer de Blob has finally received a PC release.

Bandai Namco's Gundam series of 3D fighting games have largely remained exclusive to Japan, but now the publisher is shaking things up by offering an official western release of its upcoming entry, Gundam Versus, on PS4.

Dead Space 2 and 3 have been added to the Xbox One's backward compatibility library.

You'll have heard stories before now about great games almost facing cancellation during development, but this one's a little different. The original X-COM, it turns out, was actually, properly canned. Its publisher Microprose was taken over by a new, major shareholder and as part of that process, made the decision to scrap the project with immediate effect.

Having played Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite for a few hours, I know this much: it'll be a divisive fighting game.

Resident Evil 7 sales have passed the 3.5m mark worldwide, developer Capcom's latest financial results have revealed.

Capcom was forced to pull Street Fighter 5's recently-released Thailand stage from sale over what it called "unintentional religious references".

Nintendo Switch is off to a strong start, with more than 2.74m consoles shipped during its first month of release.

I surprised myself, deep into the process of writing this article, with the realisation that Heroes of the Storm had become my favourite contemporary Blizzard game. I tested the theory: I worked through each menu item in Battle.net (sorry, 'Blizzard App') and spent a few hours with all of them. My best StarCraft years are behind me, and I'll probably never have time for World of Warcraft again. I've seen all that I'm likely to see in Diablo 3, Hearthstone's randomness frustrates, and Overwatch's longevity is bound up in having friends who play regularly - mine no longer do. And there at the bottom of the list was Heroes of the Storm, a game with the dubious distinction of being the only game on Blizzard App that did not redefine its genre.

PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to claim two genuinely good games to download in May: Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands and Abzu.

Three Fields Entertainment, the studio founded by the creators of Burnout, is making a Crash Mode spiritual successor called Danger Zone - and it's out in May priced £9.99.

As fantastic and darkly beautiful as they are from a design perspective, there's no denying that the Souls games are pretty bleak affairs. With death waiting around almost every corner, the comforts to be found in Dark Souls are few and far between.

If my mum can recognise a game of Tetris by its ear-worm-for-the-ages Type A music, it's probably not a series that needs much introduction. Puyo Puyo, on the other hand, might be. Even now, 26 years after its initial release, Puyo Puyo has largely been ignored outside of Japan despite being bloody brilliant.

Video game preview events are curious things. Event organisers have a brief window in which to get the essence of a game across to journalists, often accompanied by a laundry list of things they aren't allowed to show or mention. Most often this is a simple case of putting people in a room with a preview build on PC or console. Sometimes, it involves strapping people into a full body rig and getting them to smash things with a pneumatic Power Fist.

Mass Effect Andromeda begins as a fairly slow-paced story of colonisation, but its plot soon blossoms into something far larger - a backdrop of warring races, an invasion force on a galactic scale, a missing colonisation ark broadcasting a warning signal and a giant conspiracy behind the Milky Way races even being in Andromeda at all.

Reagant Games, the new studio working on Crackdown 3, has followed the game's non-appearance in the Xbox conference with a short news update saying that it won't be out until some point in 2017, although it will be arriving on Windows 10 as well as Xbox One.

A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.

After Silverstone's race, we're now getting to the business end of Eurogamer's Assetto Corsa Championship. The British GP was full of surprises. David Greco has finally got to grips with the fearsome 98T, thanks to the switch to a manual gearbox, and now looks firmly in control. Elsewhere, it was a bad day at the office for Hany Alsabti, who after a mistake in the early stages of the race was forced into a comeback drive to fifth place.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn't short of mysteries. With hundreds of sidequests to complete and Korok Seeds to uncover, you'll be playing Link's latest adventure for a long time before you've seen it all. But there's one mystery that remained unsolvable due to what one can only assume is a glitch in the game.

Teenage hacker Adam Mudd has been sentenced to two years in prison after creating software used to hack businesses such as Microsoft and Sony.

For all of its flaws, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 certainly grows on you.
