We've had a lot of posts up on the site regarding Final Fantasy 15 today, following the big live event in the early hours of this morning.

Where next for StarCraft 2? Back to an ancient promise, I think. Back to StarCraft: Ghost, the stealth-action console title that never was.

Build a suite of RTS missions around the cancelled game's heroine, the sneaky psychic operator Nova.

From the studio that brought you The Final Fantasy: Spirits Within...

I am a tiny person, a few inches tall, and I sit in Shuhei Yoshida's enormous, outstretched hand. The cheerful Sony executive gently holds me aloft on a staircase in a spacious office environment. Other giants are gathered around us on the stairs; as I turn and look around, I see Hideo Kojima's face, inscrutable as ever, looming nearby like one of the chiselled heads of Mount Rushmore. How about that for a virtual reality killer app?

Hello! Aoife here. I'm in LA, where the people are all impossibly beautiful and the weather is currently doing a number on my pasty Irish complexion.

If you're reading this, and the mysterious inner workings of Eurogamer's CMS are behaving as they should do, then Square's Uncovered: Final Fantasy 15 event has just concluded in Los Angeles and a brand new Platinum Demo for Xbox One and PS4 has just gone live on their respective online stores - sorry, PC owners. I actually completed the free demo a few hours before the event started, in a small hands-on session in downtown LA. About a half-hour to forty minutes long and very linear in nature, you play as a younger version of Noct, trapped inside his own dreamscape. His guide, an impossibly cute Carbuncle, communicates with him via text messages - complete with custom emoticons. He'll arm you with a Toy Sword and a Squeaky Hammer and take you through four different areas from the main game - a forest, a dining room, a cityscape, and finally the royal Citadel.

What's the most hardcore PC driving game? You might be surprised by one very credible answer. You can spend hours perfecting set-ups on iRacing, or erecting three screens and a fully pneumatic D-Box rig for a tricked-out Project Cars experience, but nothing compares to the steel-edged challenge of Trackmania, a driving game with its own cruel rhythm: race, reset and repeat until you've spent whole angry hours in the pursuit of shaving a few tenths of a second off a 20 second run.

The first two levels of TimeSplitters 2 are included as an Easter egg in Homefront: The Revolution.

It took me a long time to work out how to deal with doors. And with corridors that had a kink in them. And with the elevator that lets me out on each floor, beckoning me to slaughter with a cheery ding. Bunker Punks looks and moves a lot like Doom, and it turns out that you have to remember what that means: you have to remember the Doom Jitterbug that sees you through, always dancing to the left, to the right, always aware that bullets so slow-moving you can actually back away from them can still do you in real nice.
