UPDATE 21ST JULY: Lost PS4 Overwatch progress appears to have been restored. The reader who originally contacted us confirmed as much, telling me all progress as well as coins and loot box content had been restored. And it's a similar story for people in the Overwatch forum thread, who say their rewards have been returned.

I remember learning about the Great Fire of London and picturing an old city so stuffed with crooked houses leaning together that people with manky teef could pass babies safely from top window to opposite top window. It's a true story! But I had to imagine all that. Wouldn't it be cool if we could actually walk around that vision and interact with it today?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 are being spruced up and re-released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One this week. They're due Tuesday, 26th July (which probably translates to Wednesday for European PlayStation Store), and can be bought either in a two-game bundle for $60, or individually for $40, which sounds rather steep for old games.

UPDATE 2.15pm: Shamed YouTube star Trevor "TmarTn" Martin has not responded to requests for comment on the matter of his gambling site promotion and ownership, but he has appointed a legal team to respond on his behalf.

This sounds fun: a rock opera based on Elite: Dangerous, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month.

UPDATE: I've just been hands-on with Ana on the Overwatch Public Test Realm. I like her! Despite not being quite as accurate as I would have liked, I still felt incredibly useful to my team. Everything she does, helps.

The latest Game of Thrones season concludes today - and we can't wait to see what happens. Who will win? Who will die? What's going to happen to that nice Ned Stark?

2.20pm: And it's been fixed - Yakuza 5 is no longer showing up as free for Plus subscribers.

I've been watching For Honor with a mounting sense of excitement for quite a while now. Admittedly this is mostly because it reminds me very much of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, a game I used to play rather a lot. Chivalry is absurd medieval sword swinging at its finest, so I'm very much hoping the similar impression I'm getting from For Honor isn't mistaken.

Well, here it is: that single-player Star Wars Battlefront you've been waiting for has arrived. Well, sort of. The Skirmishes announced for DICE's shooter a short while back have just gone live, and they introduce a new way to play offline, opening up variations on the headline Walker Assault mode as well as Fighter Squadron for play with bots.

Telltale Games' upcoming Batman series will premiere an all new multiplayer function in which groups of players can vote on choices.

Headlander makes a helluva trailer. Its central premise and a lavish lust for early 70s sci-fi kitsch are instantly eye-catching, the fact that it comes from the same studio that made the wonderfully written adventure classic Psychonauts only raising expectations. Take a brief look at Headlander and it looks fantastic, with amazing art, endearing humour, frantic combat and pleasurable puzzles. Which is all well enough, but having now seen it through unfortunately it all seems only surface deep.

Editor's note: Hyper Light Drifter comes to Xbox One and PS4 today, complete with the two-player co-op mode added since the game's release on PC. To mark the occasion we're republishing our original review, which first went live in May.

Last week Capcom announced remasters of its first few Dead Rising games for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Now we know who's behind these restorations and what they look like.

Bit weird, wasn't it, when Richard Garriott and Starr Long tried to sell their blood on eBay for $5000? I wouldn't do that. Imagine someone owning your blood: they could make black pudding with it. That's disgusting. Or they could use it to curse you and what would you do about that?

Universe-spanning exploration game No Man's Sky does not require a PlayStation Plus subscription to play.

Last weekend, Sega unveiled not one but two new Sonic titles headed our way in 2017.

The agonisingly slow drip drip drip of new SNES games on the New 3DS' Virtual Console turns into a bruising gush this week, with three classic Street Fighter games on their way to Nintendo's handheld, as announced by Nintendo UK's Twitter account.
