Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance running on Android using mobile hardware? This we had to check out. Platinum Games' brilliant Metal Gear spin-off has been promoted for some months on Nvidia's Shield portal, with no indication of when it may actually be released. Now, it's finally available - but unlike many of Nvidia's ports that scale across Tegra hardware, only the Shield Android TV micro-console can run this one, and perhaps not surprisingly, a gaming controller is mandatory.

Provided you had 40GB of space going spare, the World of Tanks beta went live on PS4 last weekend, offering a trial of its 15v15 tank action. Technically, its engine shares an obvious common ground with the Xbox One version of last year. Both consoles use a revamped lighting model with high dynamic range, delivering a very different look to the PC original. PS4 also matches Xbox One for its nighttime battles and weather effects, which again, are not seen on the basic PC game.

Bungie has teased its next in-game Destiny event and - just maybe - hinted at where its sci-fi shooter series may head next: to the planet Mercury.

You can't save him. If your idea of a video game is a world to be conquered or a puzzle to be solved, then That Dragon, Cancer, the autobiographical game from Ryan and Amy Green about their terminally ill child Joel, can come as a melancholy shock. It's not something that can be won or, in that particularly crass term, beaten; it is instead a tour through the lives of a family touched by the shadow of cancer that can be testing and trying in a way unlike many other video games before it.

AMD has announced that the price of its innovative R9 Nano small-form factor graphics card has dropped from its $649 launch price down to $499. UK prices have shifted in line to match, dropping from an initial £510 to something closer to £400 (at the time of writing, Scan has a Sapphire model for £395 plus delivery). At a stroke, AMD is now offering GTX 980-level performance at a similar ballpark price - but with increased power-efficiency, quiet operation and a minuscule six-inch form-factor.

Video producer Ian Higton will be hopping aboard the Ecliptic Express and cracking into the Resident Evil Zero HD remake live on our YouTube channel later on today. When I offered to save him some time and write this blog for him, Ian requested that I let you all know that he has never played Resident Evil Zero before in his life. I think that's a fair shout, and an important piece of info to pass on, because as someone who has played Resi Zero many times before, I'm very much looking forward to seeing how confused he gets.

There's an impressive new Watch Dogs mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 which replicates the technology-tampering gameplay from Ubisoft's open world hackathon - and surpasses it.

Was Edward Snowden morally justified in leaking secret documents that revealed, with the help of phone and internet companies, the British and US governments had spied on its citizens without their knowledge or consent? It is a question yet to be legally resolved. Snowden remains holed up in an undisclosed location in Russia, the country to which he fled in 2013. He refuses to return to the US where he is wanted on three charges (two counts of espionage, and one of theft of government property). While thumb-twiddles under assumed names in bleak hotels, the world continues to reel in the aftershocks of his revelations. Was Snowden justified in his actions? Come to think of it: would you have helped him?

Hi Eurogamers, and welcome to your weekly round up of video happenings from Outside Xbox, where this week, we've been playing Lego Marvel's Avengers.

It's been a long and winding road for The Crew. Despite attracting decent reviews at launch, there was a sense that the game was somewhat overlooked - a situation developer Ivory Tower sought to address with the recent release of the Wild Run expansion. Originally a cross-gen release with visual technology to match, the Wild Run expansion upgrades The Crew's rendering tech to current-gen standards and boasts a whole host of gameplay updates to match.

Is there such a thing as British industry any more? This important and difficult question is one I regularly find myself ignoring as I scroll through the headlines on the Guardian website, before clicking on a thing about tights. But I am vaguely aware we no longer mine coal or work steel or make cars, and that filthy foreign capitalists have ruined Easter by deciding Creme Eggs will now be made from glue and compost. What concerns me, though, is that I rarely see anything about the hidden threat to one of our greatest remaining homegrown industries: video game manual writing.

Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw has left Valve after 18 years at the company.

I never thought I'd see this: video game pirates admitting defeat. But that's what appears to have happened. Notorious Chinese game cracker 3DM warned that "in two years' time I'm afraid there will be no [illegally] free games to play in the world". That was alias Bird Sister speaking, the founder of 3DM (via TorrentFreak).
