Yooka-Laylee, the crowdfunded spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie led by many of the same developers, not only raised over £2m on Kickstarter, it managed to raise enough to fund themed socks celebrating the game.

Yesterday, many were shocked to hear how two YouTube stars had promoted an online gambling site without disclosing the fact they were its owners.

Ubisoft is adding two new independent directors to its board as the giant publisher wards off a hostile takeover from Vivendi.

It's not often we get a glimpse inside the hallowed halls of Valve - although we did once get to read the Valve Handbook for New Employees - but American publication Make: Magazine recently did.

Battlefield is back and with its last update, DICE will have delivered four superb games in three short years - an amazing accomplishment. Battlefield 1 is powered by the latest iteration of its in-house Frostbite engine and this time, the development team is stepping back in time to take on The Great War. The results? Impressive visuals, cutting-edge technology, fast performance and beautiful capes combine to create a beautiful and engaging experience.

Some Battlefield 1 fans think there will be a pigeon mode in DICE's World War 1 shooter.

We've already seen plenty of Battlefield 1 footage emerge from this year's E3. Martin and I had a good old natter over a bunch of gameplay last week and by now I'm pretty sure everyone has watched the 45 minute long, celebrity-filled Let's Play that features Snoop Dogg smoking a funny-looking cigarette and a very red-eyed Zac Efron.

That's it, PlanetSide is dead. The massively-multiplayer online first-person shooter has been switched off. Meteors rained from the in-game sky 1st July as the world ended.

Mass Effect: Andromeda's protagonist finally has a name: Ryder.

BioWare has decided to leave behind Mass Effect 3's controversial ending choices, rather than let them impact the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda.

There's a lot to like about Breath of the Wild. The first hands-on demo was so good, says news man Tom Phillips, that he played it four times at this year's E3. That's four more times than I've been able to.

A speedrun of 2007 game BioShock was seemingly interrupted by a Windows 10 update during this year's Games Done Quick charity event.

UPDATE 5/7/15 10.55am There's good news today for fans of LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation Vita - Sony has at last confirmed to Eurogamer that the portable game's servers will not close outside of Japan.

There's something new to play on PlayStation Vita - Twitch has launched an official Vita app.

Xbox Avatars will soon be able to use wheelchairs, Microsoft has revealed.

Sega Europe has purchased Amplitude Studios, the developer of the Endless franchise.

The company behind the cool Destiny Titan figurine has revealed its models for the Hunter and Warlock classes.

Independently developed self-published games (or "indie games" as per the common vernacular) are known for a lot of things. They're typified as quirky experiments like Minecraft, high brow narrative dramas like Dear Esther, peculiar puzzlers like Limbo, and novel arcade affairs like Hotline Miami. But they're not known for third-person action games. After all, who would want to compete in the same field as the likes of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry or Dark Souls with a minuscule budget? Surely these games must take endless playtesting to perfect. Yet smalltime Montpellier-based studio The Game Bakers (Squids Odyssey) has risen to the challenge with its latest boss fight only affair Furi. The results are glorious.

Microsoft's put out a survey for Killer Instinct that gives us an idea of potential new guest characters.

The upcoming Skyrim Special Edition adds a host of visual tweaks - as we've covered - ranging from extra foliage, upgraded shaders, dynamic depth of field, and volumetric lighting. But of course, we can already get many of these graphical upgrades right now, simply by enabling user-made mods on the PC version. After our last comparison, the question we asked ourselves is: could we match this new Skyrim release using a range of the most popular mods?

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the UK's best-selling game, going by physical sales.

Help: The Game, a collection of 11 all-new games by studios such as Creative Assembly, Sports Interactive and Sumo Digital in support of the charity War Child, has a release date: it goes on sale on 26th July. It will be released through Steam and cost £9.99 / $14.99 / €14.99.

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games ever made, and so gave Capcom a problem that - until the recent reveal of Resident Evil 7, at least - it was in no rush to solve. How do you follow up a classic? Resident Evil 5 would spend four years in development, benefit from a new generation of hardware, and use it to offer a simple answer: you do the same, but better.

Microsoft's big Xbox summer sale kicks off tomorrow.

It's a peculiar sensation, looking back at another version of yourself and thinking "really?". BioShock Infinite was one of the very first games I covered professionally. I recall enjoying it at the time, but haven't thought about it much since that initial playthrough due to the tsunami of games that have demanded my attention since. Yet as I am about to take an extended break from both gaming and writing in anticipation of the birth of my daughter, I felt a strong urge to revisit this particular landmark in my life, as a form of taking stock, I guess.

Battlefield 1 has been extensively data-mined during the closed alpha that is currently running for a select few players, revealing what would seem to be every major detail about DICE's forthcoming period shooter. And I mean everything - so if you don't want the game spoilt for you it might be best to turn your head and look away.

Greetings, Eurogamers, and thanks for joining us for this hand-picked selection of Outside Xbox videos, where we've recently expanded our field of expertise from video games to xenobiology.

Competition improves technology - we need plurality in the PC components market and we need alternatives to market giants Intel and Nvidia. In short, the bottom line is simple: we really need AMD to do well. This week's launch of the Radeon RX 480 demonstrates a new approach that marks a radical shift away from AMD's traditional release strategy. Gone are the toe-to-toe battles with Nvidia at the top tiers of PC performance - the green team currently has the premium market completely to itself. Now we see new Radeon technology employed in an all-out assault on the all-important price vs performance sweet spots in the graphics market.

Capcom's Resident Evil Remastered series kicked off nicely with RE6 handing in solid 1080p60 gameplay, albeit with little in the way of visual enhancements. It was a promising start though, and with that firm foundation in place, basic logic suggests that the earlier, less technologically challenging games should run even better on the current-gen console. Curiously though, Resident Evil 5 Remastered doesn't quite deliver.

Blizzard has paid tribute to Overwatch fan Wu Hongyu, who passed away on 23rd May, the day before the game's launch.
