Activision has released a multiplayer-only version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. And no, I don't mean the Xbox 360 or PS3 edition.

When it comes to direct appeals for Digital Foundry to take a look at performance, it doesn't really get any more direct than this - a NeoGAF post lamenting frame-rate issues on the PS4 version of Street Fighter 5, and an invitation for us to run the offending performance drops through our tools to see if Capcom really has dropped the ball on this crucial release. Bearing in mind the numerous beta tests the firm has conducted over the last few months, the idea that performance wouldn't hit the target on launch would be disappointing at best, and credibility-straining at worst.

Someone has proposed a rather swank Lego set based on Monument Valley.

Over 200 musicians have banded together to release a five-disc Chrono Trigger tribute album for charity.

PlayStation VR will hit retail this autumn, according to Gamestop CEO Paul Raines.

Well how about this: singer-songwriter Shooter Jennings will debut new album Countach inside the online world of video game Shroud of the Avatar. More bizarrely still, Richard Garriott, the game's creator, will feature on one of Jennings' tracks, Chase. Perhaps he's playing a lute.

Hello you lot! We're back with our every-other-weekly video games podcast, if you fancy giving it a listen. Oh gosh, please give it a listen. I really like recording it.

First-person psychological thriller The Town of Light, already due on PC this month, will also launch for Xbox One later this year.

While the basics of Street Fighter 5 are the very same that have underpinned the fighting game series since the groundbreaking Street Fighter 2, Capcom has tweaked its mechanics in some subtle, but important, ways. And while there are a raft of excellent resources online, Street Fighter 5 itself does an awful job of explaining what's new. The less said about the frankly terrible tutorial that's currently in the game, the better.

What would 2003 game Knights of the Old Republic look like in 2016, in Unreal Engine 4? Moreover, if you remade and remastered it what would you do?

Ubisoft has shown off a section of gameplay from Far Cry Primal's special Legend of the Mammoth missions - where you play as a mammoth in first-person.

Be prepared for a modicum of settings tweaking on the PC version of Street Fighter 5 - if you can't run this game at 60fps, gameplay quality is brutally compromised. We first noticed the issue running the title on the Digital Foundry budget PC at 1080p with all settings maxed. As expected, Nvidia's entry-level enthusiast card can't sustain the workload asked of it, but rather than drop frames and maintain gameplay speed, the whole simulation slows down. In this case, the game literally runs at half-speed, effectively making it unplayable. It seems that in order to maintain the purity of the experience, Capcom demands that you run this title at a locked 60fps - the engine processes every single frame of gameplay regardless and simply expects that your hardware can keep up.

Nintendo strategy game Fire Emblem Fates has had its face-petting mini-game removed for its release outside Japan.

Dedicated Dark Souls player The_Happy_Hobbit has done the unthinkable and completed From Software's notoriously challenging action-RPG without taking a single hit.

Street Fighter 5 launches tomorrow, and so we're holding off on running our review until we've had a chance to test matchmaking in a post-release setting. But we've spent enough time with the final build to get a sense of what the fighting game is all about. In short: Street Fighter 5 is wonderful fun, but suffers from a disappointingly barebones launch.

The Xbox 360 version of arcade classic Galaga is now backwards compatible on Xbox One.

Quantum Break will not launch on Steam, Microsoft has confirmed, just via the Windows 10 Store.

This might seem an odd thing to write, but Bluepoint Games is currently one of my favourite developers. You can bemoan the circumstances that this Austin, Texas remaster specialist is profiting from - the holes that, two years in, continue to gape in Sony's internal game production schedule for PlayStation 4, with multiple major projects canned or writhing in development hell - but you cannot argue with the work.

Highly-praised puzzle strategy Hitman: Go will make the leap from mobile to PC and PlayStation on 23rd February.
