You start life as a cartwheeling moose. As leading protagonists go, it's a bold casting. A moose, it turns out, can do very little, at least, very little here in Everything's deep and vast world. You move in a staccato, tumbling motion at one of two speeds, pausing only to converse with any nearby animals, rocks and plants over which a speech bubble hovers. "I don't know if I'll make it through the spring," says an anxious sapling. All you can do to reassure the plant is moo a big moosey moo, then flip-flop off on your way.

Sniper Elite 4 is a game I enjoyed playing very much. The mini-sandbox levels that reward patience and planning allowed me to spend many a chilled evening slowly and stealthily murdering my through Rebellion's version of World War 2 Italy.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night launched two decades ago, to the day, inadvertently birthing a whole new subgenre in the gaming lexicon: the "metroidvania."

If you buy the collector's edition of Mass Effect: Andromeda (fair warning: it'll set you back £250), you'll get your hands on a remote-controlled Nomad. It's got a camera on the front, can be controlled using your phone and I think it's quite a cool toy. Am I allowed to say that? It's expensive and daft, but yeah, it's a good toy.

A team of fans are trying to mod Red Dead Redemption's vast map into Grand Theft Auto 5.

Hot on the heels of the Path Finder update, Hello Games has swooped in with a new patch to address No Man's Sky's outstanding console performance issues.

We're late with our Ryzen 7 review for a number of reasons, and some might argue that the key story has already been told. We can confirm that the top-tier Ryzen 7 1800X does indeed match and occasionally even exceed Intel's mighty Core i7 6900K octo-core/16-thread monster on a great many benchmarks and heavily multi-threaded workloads. By this measure alone, AMD's return to a competitive footing in the x86 processor market is a remarkable achievement. But equally, our own tests confirm less impressive results posted by many: Ryzen 7's gaming performance does not match up to Intel's on most titles. The question is - why?

Like lots of Tolkien fans, I'm rather looking forward to Middle-earth: Shadow of War. I've already made two videos on the topic, in fact - one picked out possible game details from the announcement trailer, while the other focused on the gameplay reveal.

Dead Rising 4 gets single-player story DLC in April.

Janky open-world adventure Goat Simulator gets a sci-fi expansion on PlayStation 4 next week.

One of the things I loved about Dawn of War 1 and 2 were the elaborate kill animations. Whether it was your Dreadnought chucking an ork halfway across the map or your Warboss carving an eldar's face in half, Dawn of War's kill animations always felt exciting to me.

Who hasn't, at some point, dreamt of working for their favourite company?

The final piece of the puzzle has seemingly fallen into place. Hardware analysis site Tech Insights updated its own Nintendo Switch teardown with die-shot photography of the new console's Tegra processor, mooted as a custom design by the platform holder. Only here's the thing - the configuration is a match for the standard Tegra X1, as seen in the Shield Android TV.

Being six years old is fantastic.

Even today, on the 20th anniversary of its Japanese launch, Bushido Blade feels surprising, revolutionary. Its grand invention was hiding in plain sight all along, of course. Shun the comic book fracases that littered the bountiful arcades of the day. Forget about screen-filling flaming uppercuts, magical fireballs and those screen-straddling health bars. Instead, slow the fighting game to reality's pace, where violence is typically preceded by a lengthy coiling of springs, its sudden release then followed by the brittle silence of the aftermath.

Decades on, Blaster Master remains one of the most fondly remembered releases of the NES era and for many Western fans, it was the game that put developer Sunsoft on the map. With an inviting blend of side-scrolling and top-down action, Blaster Master was an ambitious game for its day but one that never really received a truly great sequel. Until now. Nintendo Switch hosts a tremendous continuation of the saga that finally delivers in all the right ways - it just took 29 years to finally arrive.

The latest episode of gaming's favourite space opera is mere days away from general release - and it's safe to say that the buzz surrounding Mass Effect Andromeda is mixed. As a game, acknowledging the issues its scope may bring, the response from Eurogamer has been positive. However, PC and Xbox One owners sampling the beginning missions via Origin/EA Access have encountered a number of glitches, bugs and issues that are receiving plenty of attention. For this article, our attention is on performance and scalability between PS4 and Xbox One, where BioWare has had to work a little harder to scale visuals between the two consoles' different levels of GPU power.

Did you know that in 2015 more people died while taking selfies than were killed in deadly shark attacks? I don't know how many people typically die in deadly shark attacks each year, and I've wasted enough of Google's time this week to bother finding out, but it makes for a snippy tabloid headline, or barstool factoid -- providing nobody asks too many follow-ups. Like a furious and lonely baby boomer in a Daily Mail comments section, I'd be tempted to judge the unfortunates behind the statistic were it not for the fact that, earlier this week I fell out of a tree while trying to photograph bird eggs.

Super Mario Run is coming to Android devices on 23rd March, Nintendo has announced.
