In Greg Egan's Permutation City, a copy of a human mind wakes to find itself trapped in a simulation of his apartment. He fixes his gaze on a copy of the painting that hangs on a copy of his wall, and the simulation renders the colours into the copy of his brain, so he sees the painting, or close enough for government work. But he knows that when he turns away, the simulation won't bother to render the painting. It'll just assume it as a flat monocolour rectangle and calculate how light would be reflected from it to affect lighting conditions on what he's looking at. It freaks him out. He has to resist the temptation to whip round and try to catch the simulation not simulating the painting.

Killer7 and No More Heroes director Suda Goichi (or Suda 51 as he's commonly known) will be releasing the remake / western debut of his first title at Grasshopper Manufacture, The Silver Case, on 7th October.

It's been a long journey for World of Warcraft, and it's been a long journey for me with it. I've played it more than any other game, and loved it just as much. Yet for most of that time, I've been what the WOW community would term a casual. I dip in and out, questing mostly, solo or with a friend, working on crafting, running the odd dungeon, not really raiding any more. I have a fling with every new expansion and then move on, sometimes returning mid-season for a few weeks of idle comfort gaming when I'm bored.

Kit Harington, the actor who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, is the villain in the new Call of Duty - and Activision has finally shown him off in action and in-game.

Remember Pokémon Go? If your response to this is a shrug, Pokémon Go Plus probably isn't designed for you. If your response is that you're now only three candy away from fully evolving your latest Buddy Pokémon then hello there, do keep reading, you're in good company.

So far we've seen a lot of Dishonored 2's new playable character Emily Kaldwin. We've seen her supernatural tendril powers that pull enemies apart and enable her to stalk through levels and transport almost instantly from place to place. She looks like a lot of fun (and I haven't had that kind of malevolent fun since The Darkness).

While we've been watching Stranger Things in my house - we're Team Barb to the bitter end, obv - I've been indulging my fondness for the 80s in other ways, too - namely with the build of an iOS game that has just, with brilliant timing, appeared on Kongregate, and with a funny little Ludum Dare offering that you can download over on itch.io. Both take the same 80s horror aesthetic and do clever things with it. One is in love with videotape, and the other is in love with audio cassettes. Lots and lots of 80s love.

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much from FIFA 17's story mode. But now I've had a go at the short slice of The Journey that's available with the recently-released demo, I'm fully on-board with this wonderful curio.

Outside of Sony's first party wares present at last week's PlayStation Meeting, there was one third party title that stood apart as an impressive showcase for the fledgling PS4 Pro's 4K prowess - Crystal Dynamics' Rise of the Tomb Raider. Similar to its predecessor, there's an immense amount of scalability built into the engine and the core assets, meaning that the game really shines on a high-end PC with the settings and texture quality ramped up to the very high level. Indeed, there are actually insane-level presets available that actually push beyond this level. So, the real question is, just how much of the full-fat experience has Crystal's development partner Nixxes managed to cram into the PlayStation 4 Pro version?

My first thought: they've cocked it up. Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 starts with a tutorial, and a pretty ugly one at that. I didn't go giddy for Championship Edition and its DX remix because they sat underneath a weighty, mandatory tutorial - they're blistering, simple, high-score chasing experiences you're supposed to be able to just pick up. So why was Championship Edition 2 throwing up pages of text about bloody boss battles? I was so upset I switched the PS4 off.

It's been just over 10 years since Dead Rising was first unleashed onto Xbox 360 and, to celebrate this anniversary, Capcom has just released updated versions of three classic Dead Rising titles for the current generation of hardware.
