Feature | Cliff Bleszinski's return to video games
“Some of us are starting to recognise that games have been about white dudes for so long...”
Cliff Bleszinski said goodbye to Gears of War four years ago, but I'm not sure he's left it behind. We're sitting in a curtained-off area of the showfloor below the offices of Bosskey Productions - the studio Bleszinski founded in 2014 with former Guerilla Games development director and Jazz Jackrabbit coder Arjan Brussee. On the other side of the cloth, a community manager thunders exhortations as journalists get to grips with a pre-alpha build of LawBreakers, Bosskey's hectic, highly involved arena shooter. Within, I ask for Bleszinski's thoughts on Gears of War 4's recent story teaser, a beat-by-beat reprise of the legendary "Mad World" trailer that first marked Gears out as more than the usual triple-A mess of gore and gristle, and Bleszinski himself as one of the industry's brighter stars.

Watch: We hit the beach and tackle Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza
Although one of us didn't get very far.
The latest episode of Hitman launches today, transporting players and Agent 47 to the sun-drenched beaches of Sapienza, Italy. This gorgeous level features picturesque alleyways, coastal walks, popular fishing destinations, a gelateria and er, a secret laboratory, but this is no holiday. In the level's first mission, World of Tomorrow, Agent 47 is tasked with taking out not one but two targets and destroying their potentially deadly research - no small feat when their mansion is essentially a seaside fortress.

Feature | How the Eve universe is changing
A different mood - and a different future for CCP - were on show at this year's Fanfest.
Something unexpectedly thrilling happened on Friday, during CCP's annual Eve Fanfest event in Reykjavik. Following last year's death of an in-game leader of the Amarr Empire faction (think very angry, very ruthless space monks with a fetish for lasers), players were tasked with representing the various fictional sub-factions hoping to fill the resultant power vacuum. The outcome of a series of matches between these representatives would determine the in-game heir to an empire.

Blizzard responds to WOW Nostalrius pirate/private server closure
"We have been discussing classic servers for years..."
There was a to-do recently when Blizzard lawyers forced the World of Warcraft Nostalrius servers to close. They were pirate/private servers not allowed by Blizzard so they didn't have a wooden leg to stand on, yet they offered something Blizzard does not: a vanilla (pre-expansions) version of World of Warcraft for people to play. And they were popular - home to an active community of thousands of people.

Review | Yo-Kai Watch review
Nate out of ten.
As a child, I used to believe that there was more to the world than meets the eye. Not fairies, of course. Nothing so diaphanous or innocent. Growing up in Malaysia, my imagination swarmed with hungry ghosts and pontianaks, and all the other things that go bump in the Southeast Asian night. Yo-Kai Watch reminds me of those days - except this alleged Pokémon challenger's a lot less toothy.

Recommended | Alienation review
The X-plosion files.
"Multiplier up." That voice! That perfect Housemarque voice, so calm in the face of chaos, so endlessly assured. In Resogun, she spoke to you through your controller - a wonderful piece of release-window magic that did more to make the PS4 feel exciting and new than almost anything else in the early line-up. In Alienation, she's back, bringing a hint of order to the manic battlefield of this relentless twin-stick shooter, and suggesting that, no matter how bad things seem right now, there is always the chance of a little showboating.
