All the Princess can do is dance, but while she dances she is untouchable. Tap X and she launches into a grand jeté, toes scissoring the air in a mesmerising reinvention of a ubiquitous video game action. Hit square to make her pirouette, or do it while running to execute a sinuous forward flip. Hold right trigger and the character twists, kicks, springs into a breathtaking extended bravura - an astonishing, fully motion-captured piece of contemporary ballet that had me laughing in delight the first time I beheld it in action. Such insistent style and grace in a medium where most character animations are cursory, subordinate to the needs of balancing or efficiency.

Half a year later, Street Fighter 5 will finally get a proper rage quitting penalty.

The biggest surprise coming out of our Oculus Rift testing? This isn't just a piece of hardware. It's a platform. Once you strap on the display and immerse yourself into Oculus Home - the front-end of the system - this becomes obvious. Buying games, accessing your library, downloading content, hooking up with friends, watching media, launching titles and switching between them - it's all done within a beautifully realised VR world. There's a console-style sense of solidity and polish to the whole enterprise. And as long as you stick to Oculus' minimum PC spec, just about everything just works.

No Man's Sky has done huge business in the UK, topping the sales chart.

Final Fantasy 15 has been delayed by two months.

It's fair to say that the PC version of No Man's Sky got off to something of a shaky start - and despite the release of a beta patch over the weekend, performance and features in the computer version still aren't quite up to scratch. There are definite improvements though, and yesterday we were able to get a pretty much locked 60fps experience - at 4K resolution and max settings to boot. The key to our success? We're not entirely sure but a surfeit of raw processing power can't hurt, courtesy of Nvidia's new Pascal-based Titan X backed by an overclocked Core i7 6700K running at 4.6GHz.

UPDATE 14/08/2016 11.20pm: No Man's Sky's Steam reviews have flipped the script with nearly two-thirds of users now praising the game.

Greetings Eurogamers. We're on the eve of Gamescom, the videogame uberconvention in Germany at which new games are announced, upcoming games are teased and the entire games industry becomes 80 percent currywurst by volume.

It's finally out, and so the mystery of what No Man's Sky is has been solved. Except there wasn't much mystery at all, it turns out - No Man's Sky, for all its soaring ambition, feels like it belongs to a long line of games that have taken the vast stretches of space as their canvas on which to work wonders. If anything, No Man's Sky feels like a game from another age, when you'd work through stacks of 3.5 inch floppy disks around a friend's house in search of something strange and new. The tension you get when a game built in the spirit of a more innocent time clashes with the suffocating hype, expectation and savage appetites of the modern age has made for a palpable tension of late, but hopefully it hasn't detracted from the marvellous achievement made by Hello Games. No Man's Sky may be on a different scale, and party to a very different audience, but it's more than worthy of rubbing shoulders with some of the following legends.

No Man's Sky is a fairly abstruse game. While it's not shy about introducing you to new gadgets, elements and alien civilisations, it's not exactly forthcoming with explanations as to what all these things are for. As a result, the opening hours of No Man's Sky feel like one long learning experience - punctuated liberally by sections of idle pottering around and no small amount of childish naming conventions.

AMD has scored two solid hits with its initial brace of Polaris 10-based graphics cards, with both RX 470 and RX 480 offering good performance at well-judged price points. These two products essentially allow for console-beating visual quality at 1080p60. The new RX 460 is different - based on the smaller Polaris 11 processor, the idea here is to bring console-level visual power to the entry-level enthusiast market - and indeed gaming notebooks - where the new chip's power efficiency comes to the fore.

AMD's follow-up to the RX 480 is faster than you might imagine. Based on our benchmarks based on the MSI Gaming X version of the card, it's almost as fast as the 4GB version of the RX 480. Of course, this is a premium partner design with a factory overclock in place and improved power delivery, but the bottom line seems clear - the RX 470 may have fewer compute units than the full-fat Polaris 10, but it doesn't seem to have that much of an impact on overall performance. The only issue is this: UK pricing is pretty much on par with the 4GB RX 480.
