Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number's level editor is now available on Steam.

Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games already went above and beyond by creating the wonderful free DLC Plague of Shadows, which added an entirely new campaign where players assume the role of former baddie Plague Knight. Sure it recycled most of the levels from the original game, but it featured an entirely different move set, altered stages, and even added an all new story to make sense of this alternate perspective adventure. It arguably set a new standard for free add-ons.

Doom 2 modder Doug Keener has recreated Jerry Seinfeld's classic NBC sitcom in id Software's 1994 shooter.

Drawing perhaps the longest queue in E3 history, it's fair to say that The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild was quite the crowd pleaser at the show last week. It's no surprise either - fans have been patiently awaiting the release of a new Zelda title on Wii U for years and having spent hands-on time with the game, not to mention poring over all available media, the reasons behind the lengthy development cycle become clear.

I'm not a fist bumper. I just want to get that out of the way early on before you see me awkwardly fist bump Boss Key Productions co-founder, Cliff Bleszinski, at the end of this interview. Apparently, it's his thing. He fist bumps people, rather than shaking hands, to avoid picking up the flu at shows like E3.

Bungie is trying to ramp up the rate it builds new Destiny content, as the developer prepares to launch the game's third year.

There are a lot of things I want in life. World peace, an end to poverty, chilli sauce of noticeable heat in every McDonalds, and for every teenager to live like the protagonists of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Because this is a beautiful place, full of beautiful people and beautiful music, and friends who go on to become superstars without ever losing that kernel of everyman affability. Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a celebration, and it rightly should be. If a crossover between Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei, a top-shelf JRPG native to the Wii U, cannot delight in its own existence, I don't know what can.

A lot of collectible card games let you buy and open card packs. It's a fun mechanic, but one of the issues with the system is its randomness. Most of the time you get a load of cards you either don't want - or already have.

Sonic the Hedgehog has stuck the boot in to Mighty No. 9 amid the game's troubled launch.

Sony raised eyebrows at E3 last week when it unveiled a very different look and feel for the new God of War. But there was more to the video that ran during Sony's media briefing than a straight up gameplay reveal.

Vivendi has now gobbled up more than 20 per cent of Ubisoft shares, as its concerted effort for control in the family-owned games company continues.

If you've ever played a Ubisoft open world game then you'll know the score. Assassin's Creed features towers to climb which unlock missions around you. Far Cry features towers which, again, unlock missions around you. And - guess what - Watch Dogs 1 features towers which unlock missions around you.

After pumping over 60 hours into DICE's Star Wars Battlefront, I should finally admit that I've quite enjoyed this wilfully simple brand of multiplayer shooting, dressed up with all the bells and whistles and thwomping lasers you'd expect of a premium licensed product. Sometimes, it's just lovely to play something that's positively mindless, especially when it does such a grand job of swaddling you in nostalgia with its handsomely realised dioramas and sumptuous aesthetic. Battlefront's not a great game - far from it - but it's a perfectly good one.

Criterion, British developer of the beloved Burnout racing franchise, is no longer working on its extreme sports racing IP.

The Star Wars: Battlefront Bespin DLC arrives today and introduces the Cloud City and new heroes Lando Calrissian and Dengar, among other things. And alongside Bespin comes a beefy free new update for everyone.

The Fable Fortune Kickstarter has been canned, but the game will launch on Steam, its developers have said.

Horse's tail disappearing? Body parts floating in mid-air? Marlene not talking to you? Sounds like you need The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt patch 1.22 (out now).

The Star Citizen Terms of Service have changed and it's now a bit harder to get a refund.

Back in April we gave away some codes for Paragon, Epic's new MOBA-shooter-thing. They were rather well received, so we're doing it again: we have another 1,000 Early Access keys available for nothing, which you can claim using the widget below.

There's DLC, and then there's this DLC.

Watching Sony's E3 2016 media briefing, you'd be forgiven for thinking all of the games made by the company were variations of Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic masterpiece The Last of Us.

Mighty No. 9, the Mega Man spiritual successor that comes out today, has got off to a rocky start.

UPDATE 21ST JUNE: Images of the golden Overwatch weapons have leaked from the Public Test Realm server. They may change but here they are, courtesy of Master Overwatch, in their current state.

Burnout - from Takedown onwards, at least - was always defined by its focus, its unshakeable sense of what it was, and what it should be doing with its players. This was a driving game in which driving badly rewarded you with the magic juice that allowed you to drive even more badly. And when you finally crashed - from all that bad driving you'd been doing - you realised that there was nothing remotely final about this kind of crashing. Rather, you ascended on impact, shifting from the status of car to the status of holy wreckage - wreckage you could steer through wonderfully thick, staticky air, and then barrel into your oncoming enemies as the sparks slowed to become individual twills of golden confetti.

This year, Disney Infinity would have gained itself a pretty cool-looking Doctor Strange figurine.

Minecraft's new Battle Mode launches today on all console versions of the game, although the price for more maps is steeper than some had expected.
