A new and improved GoldenEye 007 mod for Doom is in the works, and a demo is expected by the end of the month.

Pre-launch, PS4's Remote Play feature looked like a genuine game-changer, offering off-screen gameplay that would allow you to take your PS4 library anywhere in the home - as long as you had the required PS Vita hardware. In the wake of unofficial hacks, it's now possible to enjoy this benefit on PC or Mac with the release of PS4's latest 3.50 firmware - but the question is, just how good is the support? And can it improve upon a lacklustre showing on Vita devices?

Blizzard game servers were overloaded and brought down by a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack overnight that hacker group Lizard Squad appears to have claimed responsibility for.

EA's Star Wars Battlefront could be getting its much-requested offline mode bolstered, with an official blog post outlining the updates coming to the predominantly multiplayer shooter hinting there'll be more options coming soon for those that want to play without an internet connection.

Fable Legends, Lionhead's free-to-play multiplayer-based spin on its fantasy world that sadly never saw release, has come to its end with the closed beta winding down for good.

If you were at EGX Rezzed last week you might have seen that we did a live version of our once-every-other-weekly podcast. People actually showed up, which was a relief, and so I figured we may as well share a recorded version here. You can listen to it in all of the usual podcast places, but as an extra treat, there's a video version too.

I was hoping to write a nice big impressions piece today of what it's like to play Falcon Lost, The Division's first Incursion that was added as part of its most significant update yet. What a lovely excuse to return to New York I thought as I not-so-selflessly set an evening aside to shoot things in the face in the hope of a better set of kneepads. After a night of frustration, it hasn't quite turned out like that.

UPDATE 13th April 2016: Rockstar has dismissed allegations made in a lawsuit from former Rockstar North chief Leslie Benzies, calling the claims "downright bizarre".

I don't know about you, but I absolutely adore the mad side of Nintendo. The one that announces the localisation of a game with a 10-minute mix of surreal salesmanship and cut-glass cuteness. The one that pauses halfway through another conference to contemplate an unpeeled bunch of bananas. The one that got so carried away with the 3D fad it bet on the marvel of glassless 3D in a handheld whose ubiquity has helped obscure its eccentricity.

In February 2013, Bungie invited the world's press into its Bellevue, Washington studio to show Destiny for the first time. Except the studio didn't show Destiny. Rather, it talked about Destiny.

The latest Humble Bundle is Telltale themed and it's a good one, offering 12 games for only $12 (about £8.40).

Roguelike shmup Enter the Gungeon has shifted 200k copies in its first week on sale, developer Dodge Roll has announced.

Bandai Namco has filed a trademark for something called Amazing Katamari Damacy through the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

We've all heard the expression 'the long arm of the law', but it's not often one sees an idiom quite so literally represented as in Giant Cop. If you've not heard of it before, Giant Cop is a game that turns you into a gargantuan police officer; you're tasked with judging the population of a (relatively) tiny city from up high, scooping up criminals and throwing them in jail. Did I mention you do all this in Virtual Reality? You do all of this in Virtual Reality.

"Xbox on."

Creative Assembly has revealed the different kinds of DLC coming to Total War: Warhammer post-launch.

Beehives, honey farms, spaceships, powder kegs. Beacons, toads, pinwheels, crosses. These are all elements of a strange game that tore a path through the hacking community in the early 1970s: LIFE, also known as Conway's Game of Life. John Conway is a British mathematician, and Life is a cellular automata - a spreadsheet, in essence, in which cells populate and depopulate depending on criteria such as the state of the cells that surround them. Time passes, shapes emerge through simple interactions. It all starts to look rather organic. It's been called a zero-player game.

I've never seen World of Warcraft servers as packed as the two Nostalrius pirate servers on Sunday night - moments before they were closed for good.

Facepunch Studios, the team behind Garry's Mod and Rust, has released an HTC Vive virtual reality game called Chunks into Steam Early Access.

There continue to be hold-ups fulfilling pre-orders of Oculus Rift and HTC Vive virtual reality headsets.

We all got a little carried away with Kickstarter back in 2012, but there were a few things we got really, really right. Giving Stoic a bunch of money to create The Banner Saga, for example, turned out to be a fantastic idea. The combat may not have been to everyone's taste, but ensuring that disjointed caravan of humans and varl survived their journey towards refuge was unforgettable. Also, have you heard that soundtrack?!

Papers, Please developer Lucas Pope has released a new playable demo for his upcoming first-person adventure game Return of the Obra Dinn.

Titanfall 2 has been officially revealed and it will contain the series' titular giant mechs... only now equipped with swords.

UPDATE 4PM BST: Why - why does Rust randomly create a character for you that you must stick with? I asked Garry Newman, the man in charge, this afternoon.

UPDATE: Microsoft has said Quantum Break is now the best-selling new Microsoft Studios IP this generation, as well as being the best-selling boxed game in the UK this week.

Punch-Out!! came out nearly 29 years ago, so you'd think all its secrets would have been uncovered by now.

YouTuber Many A True Nerd took his thoroughly enjoyable You Only Live Once series to Fallout 3 eight months ago. Yesterday, he completed the game and all its add-ons.
