Digital Foundry | Microsoft Xbox One S review
Smaller, faster, better.
In many ways, the new Xbox One S is the physical embodiment of Microsoft's efforts in reconnecting with the core gamer. Gone are the functional, slab-like set-top box aesthetics of the original hardware and in comes a fresh new design. Yes, it's smaller, lighter, more refined - but most crucially, this is a piece of hardware that isn't embarrassed about what it is or trying to be something else; it's a beautifully designed games machine and a marked improvement over the launch model in almost every way.

Digital Foundry | Tech Interview: Inside Xbox One S
A Digital Foundry deep dive on the making of Microsoft's latest console.
Microsoft's reveal of the Xbox One S at E3 this year left us with questions. Lots of them. How did the firm graft on 4K support to the existing hardware? Are we looking at a processor shrink and an architectural revamp? What formats of HDR are supported? Can selected titles actually run at a native 4K resolution? Does the support for UHD Blu-ray movies actually require a new and improved BD drive? The list goes on. And on.

Digital Foundry | Xbox One S performance boost revealed
The new console has a faster GPU and we've benchmarked it.
Xbox One S releases today and we finally have detailed data on exactly how the new console is faster than the original model. What's more, we've had access to production hardware for several days now, meaning we can test it. The bottom line is this: Xbox One S has a GPU clock-speed of 914MHz, up from 853MHz in the older unit. That's a 7.1 per cent increase and ESRAM bandwidth increases in line, taking that up to 218GB/s effective. Some games see no difference - others run noticeably faster.

Recommended | Abzu review
Wetter is better.
ABZÛ (to give it its stylised title, and spare a thought for the poor SEO team on this one) is a slow, thoughtful indie adventure - but you probably clocked then when you saw the circumflex over the U. I know, I know, when it comes to indie games you always rock up for the diacritics, but with Abzu you'll stay because this deep sea adventure grabs you with the immediate intrigue of peeling back the inevitable mystery of rejuvenating these waters.

There's a new turn-based Warhammer 40,000 strategy game in the works
And it stars the Space Wolves.
I love me some Space Wolves. When I was big into building armies and painting figurines, the grey ones were my go-to Space Marine chapter. It was something about their unfussy nature. That, and the big bad wolves bits of their armour.

"ARE THEY GONNA BAN ME FOR USING PAINT NOW TOO"
Oh the things banned Overwatch cheats say.
Oh dear there appears to have been another wave of Overwatch bans, Blizzard primarily - or most noticeably - turfing out cheaters using triggerbots, which automatically shoot when the crosshairs are placed over an enemy. And I'm afraid to say some people aren't happy about it.

Review | The Assembly review
Assemble with care.
One of the pleasures of VR is seeing old genres reinvented or reinvigorated by an all-new perspective. The Assembly, nDream's sci-fi moral adventure created bespoke for virtual reality, is a case in point - it's a slow-paced, combat free exploration adventure told from the perspectives of two different characters, enhanced by the simple and essential act of looking.

Looks like Blizzard finally put Xur from Destiny in World of Warcraft
What goes around comes around.
Destiny was once described as a cross between a traditional first-person shooter such as Halo, and a massively multiplayer online role-playing game such as World of Warcraft. Destiny didn't quite turn out that way, but after the game came out it was clear many of the developers at Bungie were fans of Blizzard's MMO.

Watch this Dark Souls 3 all boss run completed without getting hit
If only I could be so grossly incandescent.
Dark Souls veteran and Twitch streamer The_Happy_Hob made a name for himself earlier this year when he made his way through Dark Souls without taking a single hit from an enemy.

Feature | Watch: Chris teaches a reluctant Aoife how to play Hearthstone
Pull up a chair.
For someone who hasn't played Hearthstone, I know more than I should about it. Nothing useful like what cards to use for an easy win, of course, but I do know my fair share of Warcraft lore. I know what Rusty Horn sounds like, too, and I know that Trump is the unfortunately named but soothingly voiced king of How to Twitch streams.
