Just days after the New York PlayStation meeting, Sony is ready to kick off the 2016 Tokyo Game Show week with its traditional press conference. Will PlayStation Pro and PlayStation VR help the fortunes of console gaming in the region? Will Sony's Japanese studios and publishing partners have any surprises in store? Will the The Last Guardian show its face following its delay?

Warcraft has one. Runescape has one. Elder Scrolls. The Witcher. Even Plants vs. Zombies.

I had a chance to play Forza Horizon 3 a short while ago, and can report that the third open-world racer from Playground Games is an awful lot like the first two. That is to say, it's gorgeous, slick, cheerful and free-wheeling; it's realistic enough for a car nerd like me to take seriously, but loose enough for anyone to enjoy. Best of all, it's not structured around competitive grind but around the enduring and universal joy of exploring a large and beautiful landscape. It's a racing game for everyone.

You know what happens. You leave your Animal Crossing for too long, and the weeds appear. Your town becomes unsightly, overgrown. It's a mess.

Alexis Kennedy, lead writer of the excellent role-player Sunless Sea, has signed up to work with BioWare on a certain unannounced project.

UPDATE: More World of Warcraft: Legion secret-finding success! The epic mount The Reins of the Long-Forgotten Hippogryph has been found. This is the mount people were trying to find when they inadvertently worked out how to summon Kosumoth the Hungering.

The Last Guardian has been delayed yet again.

How would you like Snoop Dogg as the announcer for StarCraft 2? Would be a bit of an odd fit, wouldn't it?

I had absolutely no idea Blizzard made a Warcraft adventure game called Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. Then again, it is 18 years old - and it was never released.

Destiny: Rise of Iron is now just a week away - but if you can't wait that long, here are five minutes of brand new mission footage to sit back and enjoy.

This Christmas, Nintendo will relaunch the NES as a standalone console with an built-in library of 30 games.

It doesn't look like the PlayStation 4 versions of Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition will get mod support - and Bethesda has blamed Sony.

In 1993 Cyan released what would go on to be the biggest-selling PC game of all time for nearly a decade. By 2005 the studio was on the verge of bankruptcy.

How many things can you remember at once? I know the answer when it comes to me! It's two. I can remember two things at the same time, and I can just about switch between them if I absolutely have to.

UPDATE 10/9/16 3:00pm: Full analysis added for Bayonetta, Forza Horizon, Mirror's Edge, COD2, Red Dead Redemption and the Undead Nightmare DLC.

I played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare remastered last week and it was an object lesson in the power of nostalgia; the upcoming re-release of CoD 4 certainly seems to have got a lot of people talking, for better or worse.

For some years I've felt jittery at the absence of a cathode ray tube television in my home, as if I've forgotten to install some crucial appliance, which, worse still, is no longer manufactured. Sure, you're able to plug a Super Nintendo or MegaDrive into a plasma or LCD screen, those size-zero supermodels of the TV world that so cruelly and so swiftly ended the CRT's hundred-year reign at the beginning of this century. But, when forced to perform in high definition, the old consoles pale and shudder. Playing through an HD TV is like gazing at the past through the opposite of rose-tinted spectacles; the games are stretched and smudged, ghosted by modernity. When it comes to remaking vintage games, conscientious developers often attempt to fake the CRT aesthetic, adding scan-lines or screen curves. But, as I recently discovered, you can't fake majesty.

UK gamers will get a chance to go hands-on with Final Fantasy 15 at EGX 2016 at the NEC Birmingham in two weeks' time, as the epic RPG spearheads a big showing for Square Enix.

It's early days on this one, but with PlayStation 4K Pro media on the thin side right now, we want to make the most of what we have. Horizon Zero Dawn is easily one of the most impressive titles we saw at the PlayStation Meeting, and it's a fascinating example of the how well the upscaling algorithms work in creating a substantial upgrade for 4K display owners compared to the native 1080p resolution edition found on the base level PlayStation 4.

His name is Maxime, and he's French. He apologises for his bad English but his written answers to my questions are fine. Maxime claims to be the first Overwatch player in the world to reach level 1000. You might know him better by his Overwatch name Tazzerk.

Homefront: The Revolution is free to play on Steam this weekend.

Nintendo launches its long-awaited Pokémon Go Plus device on Friday 16th September. That's next week!

If you judge a game by the questions it makes you ask when you're playing - and I appreciate that nobody actually judges a game like this - then The Tomorrow Children is quite something. "Why do I need a house?" That was an early question. "How do I get money?" "Why do I need money?" Somebody (and, sadly, I think that somebody was me) was having a strange kind of awakening.

Thierry Henry is playable in NBA 2K17.

Blizzard has announced plans to ban some of Hearthstone's most popular cards from the game's Arena mode.
