The Walking Dead: Michonne begins with its titular character about to blow her brains out. After a surreal sequence suggesting her children were killed due to her own failure, Michonne is at the end of her tether.

Hitman will be available to try in open beta via PlayStation 4 on 4th March.

Remember Darkspore? It's the 2011 video game that took the creature editing tech from Will Wright's Spore and turned it into a basic action-role-playing game. Soon, it'll be no more.

In gameplay terms, a few hours of play with the Hitman beta suggests a return to form for the series, bringing back traditional stealth action paired with bigger environments, dynamic lighting and a gigantic leap in NPC counts across the game's various locations. It's a promising taster of Agent 47's latest adventure, but last week's PS4 beta saw an experience marred by some really choppy performance, paired with an unlocked frame-rate further adding to the overall inconsistency in the experience.

Earlier this week Valve released its very own SteamVR Performance Test, and now people are fussing over Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. Again.

Microsoft's released a hefty 5GB update for Gears of War Ultimate Edition.

Does everyone talk to themselves when they're playing games, or is it just me? I'm not just chatting rubbish about the weather or the state of the economy you understand - I just like to consistently reaffirm my own opinions about whatever it is I'm currently thumbing through. It's probably a dangerous character fault that has developed over a decade of reviewing games, but I'm ok with it. My inner monologue sounds a little like Mark Kermode passionately explaining something to a slightly bored Simon Mayo.

Dino Dini's released screenshots of Kick Off Revival, and it looks like Kick Off should.

Picture a moment in space and time. It can be anywhere and anywhen. It could be aeons ago, long before the first upwardly mobile fish ever unlocked the ability to walk on land, or it could be a few centuries into the future, during the 31st term of President Trump Al Saud. However far-flung the scenario, frame it in your mind and I'll make you a promise: Ubisoft is there. Ubisoft has always been there. Waiting for you, with a sackful of fast travel points and upgrade materials, pop-up escort missions and fluidly chaining takedowns.

Kevin Smith's most famous creations, Jay and Silent Bob, are getting their own game. At least they will if developer Interabang (Super Comboman) can raise $400k on crowdfunding platform Fig to finance Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch.

Tom Clancy's The Division is a strange beast. On one hand, it's a really fun cover based shooter; on the other, it looks like it ought to be populated exclusively by Liam Neesons. While the loot system is pleasingly comprehensive, there's something about The Division's realistic setting that renders the loot itself a bit, well, dull.

The popular Source Engine-based PC first-person shooter series Insurgency is being rebuilt in Unreal Engine 4 and now coming to consoles.

UPDATE 11.55AM GMT: The PS4 patch, available now, is 4.4GB. We've taken some pictures using the film grain slider, which slides from zero per cent up to 200 per cent - gosh that's high! Ian Higton, who tested it, says it didn't make a lot of difference to him. Below are the comparison screenshots.

UPDATE 23rd February 2016: Xbox Live is back on its feet after an evening of trouble.
