Editor's note: This piece is based upon an event in London, where we played through Rainbow Six Siege's modes on PC over a couple of days. Our full review will be up later this week once we've been able to get adequate experience of the game running on live servers.

Microsoft and Square Enix are both "very happy" with Xbox timed-exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider, director Brian Horton has reassured.

The latest big mod for Grand Theft Auto 5's PC version not only polishes up the game's visuals but completely overhauls the game's features as well.

Editor's note: This review goes into some small spoiler territory with the identity of bosses and details on locations in The Old Hunters - so if you want go into From Software's expansion with fresh eyes, be warned.

UPDATE 30TH NOVEMBER: Red Thread Games has announced that Book Four Revelations will be released this Thursday, 3rd December. The date came at the end of a new trailer, which shows this Unity 5-built episode in all its glory.

PlayStation 4's hardware design heavily favours GPU power over CPU prowess, a situation that has limited performance in a number of titles - and an area where Xbox One has an advantage. The situation isn't helped by the fact that two of the eight available cores are reserved for the console operating system. Earlier this year, Microsoft unlocked a good proportion of CPU time on a seventh core, and now Sony has followed suit.

Open world Wii U exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles X is so big Nintendo is providing downloadable data packs to cut loading times for its disc-based version.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain owners have responded to a call to disarm all nuclear weapons.

There are a lot of Marvel Avenger-related films these days but there aren't many games - proper games on consoles or PC, not Contest of Champions, that mobile game my friend can't put down. But in 2011/2012 there was a big budget Marvel Avengers game in development at THQ.

Everyone's favourite football car game Rocket League is about to get an infusion of new technology courtesy of Aperture Science.

In the run up to the release of Halo 5, I thought a lot about the state of the series in 2015, how my feelings about Master Chief and Cortana and the endless fight to save the universe had changed over the years, and Destiny.

Software sells hardware. It might seem odd to begin a review of a smartphone with a saying popularised by Nintendo, but - present company taken into account - we're sure you won't mind. In Nintendo's case, the mantra is based around the unshakable belief that high-quality games will encourage people to rush out to stores and purchase consoles, while with Google's Nexus line of smart devices, it's the software that ships with the handset that proves so appealing, and is surely the main reason why Android purists continue to flock to the brand - despite the fact that it usually lags behind the best phones when it comes to pure specs.

If you find a game hidden within another game, and you're as easily distracted as us, chances are you'll wind up playing that instead of getting on with saving humanity or your family or whatever the mission was supposed to be before you got sidetracked.

It's not enough for a video game to 'sprawl' anymore. Where once the size of a virtual world provided a somewhat useful measure of its creators' effort and ambition, nowadays, entire galaxies can blossom from a few seemingly throwaway lines of code. If ever you grow tired exploring one of Minecraft's worlds, simply load a fresh one; the next unique arrangement of hills, trees and caverns will keep you busy for months. There is, in fact, already more virtual real estate in video games than humans will ever be able to chart or fathom.

Right now, certain times seem not so long ago and certain galaxies not all that far, far away. The two-pronged assault of Star Wars Battlefront and The Force Awakens means that, willingly or not, we're all reliving memories of George Lucas' space saga: what it meant to us when we first experienced it, what it means to us now and what it might mean moving forward if Disney pursue their rather Imperial-sounding aim of putting out a new Star Wars movie every year until our planet goes the way of Alderaan.

Built with PlayStation 4 specs in mind, Beyond: Two Souls' release on PS3 two years ago gave the console a bittersweet swansong. On the one hand, it struck a high standard in physically-based lighting and facial motion capture we had expected of PS4 titles going forward. But on the other, Sony's last-gen machine clearly struggled to sing to the engine's tune, struggling in both frame-rate and aspects of its visual execution. However this month, a PS4 remaster stealthily crept onto the PlayStation Store - at last giving us a full realisation of Quantic Dream's vision.

Hello, welcome to the weekend. What have you got planned? In between catching up on Jessica Jones and making a few too many bacon sandwiches, I'll be getting stuck into The Old Hunters, Bloodborne's new DLC. I've had a couple of hours with it since its launch on Tuesday, but this is really a grinding-in-your-pants-for-the-entire-weekend sort of game.

First things first: you should play The Crew. It's wonderful, honestly. If, like me, you glossed over it last year because you were already playing Forza Horizon 2, or because you'd heard the online service was flaky at launch (it was), or because you were in a sulk with publisher Ubisoft over Assassin's Creed Unity, now is the perfect time to correct that.

PlayStation Network is having a wobble, no doubt as a result of a wave of traffic fuelled by the Black Friday shopping event.

The Xbox 360 turned 10 this week, and we've been reminiscing about the wonderful console each day with articles about its influence, its best games and even its dashboard. Now though, it's time for something a little different. It's time to go behind the scenes.

Digital Foundry posted a video mash-up yesterday of Star Wars Battlefront versus Return of the Jedi, splicing together sections of Speeder Bike footage from both game and film such that it was hard to tell the difference.

Konami has announced a free-to-play version of football game PES 2016.

Activision's glitch-ridden Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 has finally received an update.

I didn't expect much of Crackdown. I wanted a next-gen GTA and while this shared the same pedigree, it was about fighting crime rather than causing it, and spoken of mostly as a means to get into the Halo 3 beta. Keenly aware of my inability to keep up with Halo players, I steered clear, and it wasn't until a few months after release that I was persuaded to pick up a second-hand copy.

Super Mario Maker has added the Frog Mario costume from Super Mario Bros. 3.

You'll soon be able to play PlayStation 4 games on your PC or Mac via the console's Remote Play functionality.

I was already pretty into achievements by the time it got around to Halo 3. I'd be the annoying friend that needed to recover their gamertag before playing split-screen on your console, rather than miss out on the occasional 10G. Do you remember how frustrating it was to watch somebody actually do that? Slowly typing their awful my-first-password as you waited to crack on with some Left 4 Dead. Yeah, that was me. Sorry. I'm different now.
