The end is in sight for the first week of what Ubisoft hopes, I'm sure, will be a long journey for a lot of people. I'm talking of course, about The Division, which this week has both proven to be Ubisoft's biggest launch and not without its problems.

There will soon be yet another collectible card game vying for your attention, this time from EA and Plants vs. Zombies developer PopCap Games.

Since its release this time last year, Cities: Skylines has sold over two million copies worldwide.

Hot on the heels of the addition of Arbiter from Halo and Rash from Battletoads to fighting game Killer Instinct comes word that General RAAM from Gears of War is set to make a playable appearance.

Microsoft's Kinect sensor has found itself at the centre of a major art world scandal.

Halo and Destiny composer Marty O'Donnell has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new musical project.

Frontier has confirmed Elite Dangerous' official support for Oculus Rift in time for the virtual reality headset's launch later this month.

Remember Nosgoth? The free-to-play competitive multiplayer action set within the Legacy of Kain universe? After over a year in Early Access, it's nearing launch.

Dark Souls 3's PC version will run at 60fps, publisher Bandai Namco confirmed on Twitter.

Far Cry: Primal was February's top-selling game in US retail shops, according to chart-tracking group NPD.

Procedurally-generated co-op action-RPG Moon Hunters has launched for PC on Steam.

Retro City Rampage DX, the enhanced port of Brian Provinciano's throwback to arcade games of yore, is out today on iOS devices.

XCOM 2 should now run better on your PC, thanks to its first major patch.

Toki Tori developer Two Tribes will be closing its doors this autumn, but not before releasing shmup Rive in September.

Finally released into the wild after two beta tests, The Division fully opens its incredibly detailed recreation of New York City to the masses. Besides a few issues, the game seems to be holding up well. Online connections have been consistently stable for us, while in terms of all-round console performance, there's little to separate the finished game from the solid beta code we sampled a short while ago. Ubisoft has delivered another technically sound title with The Division on consoles, and both platforms offer smooth gameplay and impressive visuals that really immerse you in the deserted streets and buildings of post-outbreak Manhattan.

Editor's note: We will review the full season of Hitman once every episode has been released. But, as it is a systems-driven sandbox game, we feel that there is enough to go on in this initial release to warrant a full Eurogamer verdict.

Zen Pinball is bringing its acclaimed franchise to Oculus Rift on 28th March with Pinball FX2 VR.

This doesn't happen every day: we have a couple of new opportunities to join our writing team here at Eurogamer. Both are working on the game guides that we introduced in 2014, and that we are now looking to expand on, improve, and integrate more closely with the rest of what we do.

Sheltered, a post-apocalyptic management sim about a family in a fallout shelter, is coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac and Linux on 15th March, publisher Team17 has announced.

Capcom has lifted the lid on Alex, the first downloadable character for fighting game Street Fighter 5.

With more than 67 million players logging in each month, League of Legends is the most popular video game in the world. Actually, that sentence doesn't even do it justice - those numbers are about two years out of date by now, and developer Riot Games claims today's figures are "substantially" higher.

Hearthstone's next major expansion has been leaked via a painting on a wall.

Hitman is a series that lives or dies on just how imaginatively morbid it can be. One of the real joys of these games is finding the most obscure way to murder a target and then patting yourself on the back for the pure deviousness of it all. But just how deep does this dagger-lined rabbit hole go? How many ways can you possibly kill a target in just one mission? Being the most stabby member of the team, we nominated Ian to find out. He lost count (and a tiny portion of his sanity) at around 32; some with the same weapon, but always different styles. Bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher? Check. Knocked out cold with a fire extinguisher and then suffered a snapped neck? Also check. We may have created a monster.

UPDATE: And it's out today! Telepaint just hit the App Store where you can pick it up for £2.29. We're hoping to have a proper look at it over the weekend.

If nothing else, the days leading up to the release of Hitman have certainly been interesting. Between the Friday release date - unusual for a worldwide release, and for a digital one - and the episodic rollout of new content, this latest instalment in the contract killing series is launching in a rather atypical fashion. The fact that Square Enix saw fit to open the game's outdated beta to PlayStation Plus users just one week before launch was even more baffling. Unfortunately, for many players, this beta left a sour impression, thanks in part to its wildly inconsistent frame-rate. Now, with the launch-day version of Hitman in hand, we were eager to see if these issues have been corrected, and how the previously unseen Xbox One version stacks up.

Hitman's Intro Pack hits Xbox One, PS4 and PC tomorrow, 11th March, offering the Paris map and two smaller prologue locations for $15 or £11.99. Already weary of the glitter and clamour of the French capital? Don't worry, the next episode, due in April, sees Agent 47 visiting the quiet Italian coastal town of Sapienza.

The new Hitman game is out today... sort of. As you've no doubt heard, IO Interactive decided to split Hitman up into episodic chunks rather than release it all at once - a move that has proved divisive among the community. We'll get into the pros and cons of such an approach in a bit, but first the basics:

You can pay $1200 for a ticket to see the Assassin's Creed movie - and get a limited-edition replica Spanish crossbow with it.

Bezier, despite the French title, lifted from the Renault employee Pierre Bézier, who in the 1960s helped teach computers how to draw curves, is a quintessentially British sort of video game. It fits snugly within the tradition of eccentric psychedelic shooters - Jeff Minter's Space Giraffe, Rob Fearon's Death Ray Manta, Bizarre Creations' Geometry Wars - and combines the unusual bedfellows of austere science fiction storytelling with twin stick shooting. Eight years in the making, the game, intended to be the first in a series of nine projects by its creator, Philip Bak, is a glorious carnival of neon particle effects, subtle tips of the hat to arcade classics and enthralling, if riotous, game design.

Dead Island 2 is now being developed by British studio Sumo Digital.
