The first house I ever owned was vast and elegant, a comfortable arrangement of grand halls and wide staircases with a treasure room glinting madly from the basement and a butler I enjoyed locking in the fridge. I would go back to that house to take a break from globe-trotting and jumping about in jungles - although, when I got there, jumping about was still pretty much all I did anyway. What a place: I loved it. You never forget your first home, and so I never forgot Croft Manor.

Community and Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon is making a new show about a group of esports players.

Earlier this month the Washington State Gambling Commission set its sights on Valve, accusing the Steam developer of facilitating gambling as a number of illegal sites use Counter-Strike: Global Offensive skins as a form of currency for gambling. Since some skins are very rare, they get assigned high values of real-world currency, making them convenient for gambling sites to use as chips, so to speak. Valve has retaliated against these accusations, claiming that it's been compliant with the law and has previously collaborated with the Gambling Commission to crack down on sites using Steam services for nefarious means.

Ubisoft's open-world hacking game Watch Dogs 2 has been delayed by two weeks on PC. It's now due on 29th November, a fortnight after the PS4 and Xbox One versions arrive on 15th November.

There's a new collectible card battler on the block: Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes.

In the primordial soup that is Steam Early Access a new game is being formed. It's called Osiris: New Dawn and since its appearance a few weeks back it's been bobbing about with Mafia 3, Civ 6 and Rocket League in the Top Seller list. If you haven't already taken a cursory gander, you can probably guess from its sudden rise to prominence that it's an open world collect-and-survive game, one of an increasing number of like-minded titles that simmer around Steam's development fumarole, sometimes evolving, sometimes not, and whose creators are often dragged beneath the toxic discourse that bellows up in the wake of an absent, insubstantial or unpopular update.

This is an odd one. Lewis Hamilton, eminent Snapchatter and reigning Formula One world champion, is making an appearance in this year's Call of Duty. It's not the first superstar cameo in Call of Duty, of course - he follows in the footsteps of the likes of Kevin Spacey, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kiefer Sutherland - but it's certainly one of the strangest.

Blizzard has announced a new high-risk, high-reward event for Hearthstone.

Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC (by far the greatest team the world has ever seen), is in Cities: Skylines.

Hello! It's time for another episode of the Eurogamer Podcast! I'm delighted and a bit nervous. Anyway, today Chris Bratt and I talk about Civilization 6 and Really Bad Chess. We pick a fight with an unlikely - and utterly undeserving - institution and we even have a bit of time to talk about Tomb Raider.

Shares of Rockstar parent company Take-Two have soared in value, thanks to the single piece of new Red Dead concept art.

United Front Games, the studio behind enjoyable open world game Sleeping Dogs, appears to have shut down.

'The air trembles. A breath of change passes.' As it ever has down here in the Unterzee, the subterranean archipelago where London wound up after the ground gave way, where islands jostle for position as you live the gloomy lives of a succession of sea captains. This time, however, change runs fathoms deep. Depending on the state in which you left your ship and fortune in Failbetter's masterpiece, the journey toward owning your first submergible vessel may be long and onerous. After all, the Admiralty doesn't sanction this arcane contraption. Most shipbuilders will shrug or recoil if presented with an order for one.

Last year developer Kyle Seeley released a peculiar mix of dating sim and AI chatbot with Emily is Away, a game about being a teenager flirting with a girl you like over AIM in the formative years of the 21st century. Like Gone Home before it, Emily is Away was chock full of pop-culture references relevant to its era, transporting us back to those doodling in the margin days where we half paid attention to our teachers and half daydreamed about IMing our crush after school.

Blizzard is bringing Overwatch's mech-riding esports-playing badass D.Va to Starcraft 2 as an announcer.

UPDATE 5PM BST: There's been a development and it may not be the one you're hoping for. David Brevik has said he's not working on Diablo now or in the near future.

Gears of War 4 launched second in this week's UK chart, behind FIFA 17 but ahead of a flurry of other new releases.

Microsoft has released a gameplay video showing off the first 20 minutes of Gears of War 4.

Alright, so I'm willing to admit my last foray into Gears of War 4's horde mode with Ian didn't exactly go swimmingly. Let's call that a warm up.

I've been playing Gears of War 4 a lot this week and I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with Edwin's early impressions piece; they don't make 'em like that any more. The wending, ammo laden campaign of Gears of War 4 feels like a rare treat - a throwback to a time when AAA games were built differently.

We already knew Sonic the Hedgehog would join Lego Dimensions this November - but we hadn't seen everyone he was bringing along for the ride.

The new Call of Duty lets you end a competitive multiplayer match with a devastating nuke - but it's rock hard to trigger.

QWOP and Pole Riders developer Bennett Foddy is a master of the absurd. After taking the internet by storm with his goofy browser game about the world's most poorly coordinated athlete, he followed it up with a physics game about clumsy pole vaulters and a 16-player real-time version of chess.

After initially saying the Sonic Mania Collector's Edition wouldn't come out in Europe, Sega has now announced it will, in fact, come out in Europe.
