Harmonix will release Rock Band 4's first major update on 8th December.

Halo 5 has microtransactions - you can spend real-world money on in-game packs of virtual cards, or Requisitions, as they're called. And it looks like they're doing the business for Microsoft.

Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream has finally announced a release date for the game's new PlayStation 4 version - it's next week, on 26th November.

This week, I took a break from Fallout 4 and finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, the sequel to 2013's Lara Croft reboot. It's a game I previewed back in June, and the main issue I had with it then - namely, that Lara was a bit of a buzzkill - still bugs me now. Don't get me wrong, I actually really love the game; the weapon crafting, resource collecting and skill unlocking really builds towards a sense that Lara is a proper badass, and the puzzle-solving, while still relatively light compared to the original Tomb Raider titles, is a fun diversion.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 publisher Activision has admitted it made mistakes in the handling of GAME's Nuketown map offer and apologised for causing customers confusion.

Konami's doing a nice thing for the Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 audience in a bid to "regain their trust": giving the upcoming and as yet "undefined" EUFA Euro 2016 content for free.

Every year like clockwork a new Football Manager game comes out, and every year a recurring criticism seems to appear: there are too many injuries.

After the success of The Walking Dead it only seemed natural for choose-your-own-adventure game studio Telltale to tackle George R.R. Martin's grim fantasy epic Game of Thrones. More in vogue than The Walking Dead and predicated on politicking rather than action, it seems like a fine fit. Yet in the opening hour or two it becomes quite clear that this is Telltale's greatest challenge yet.

UPDATE 9.15am Now Tom's had his morning cup of coffee, it turns out that the new reward is an avatar item of a ninja cat playing Xbox with you - and not a box of virtual confetti (that was another reward gifted by Microsoft).

Warhammer 40k: Freeblade, a new mobile shooter designed to make the most out of the iPhone 6S' A9 chip, comes out today (it's up on the App Store now).

Fallout 4's been out for over a week now, and so I imagine more than a few of you have dabbled in the post-apocalyptic role-playing game's base building feature.

November: not exactly the most auspicious month in the tennis calendar. Sure, you've got the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, with a potential purse of $2 million plus for an undefeated champion. But I doubt that sum factored high on Nintendo's list of reasons to publish such a sunny, summery game at a time of year when it's permanently dark and cold, and any mention of Wimbledon fever is more likely to pertain to an unexpected outbreak of bacterial infections in south west London.

Don't Starve: Shipwrecked, the next DLC expansion to Klei Entertainment's popular survival roguelike, is coming to Steam Early Access on 1st December.

Last year I wrote about Push Me Pull You, a simultaneously horrifying and hilarious game about two conjoined man-worms, each played by two players, competing in a ball game. Now that game is confirmed for PS4 with Sony helping produce it through its Pub Fund program.

The Rainbow Six Siege open beta will be available from 25th-29th November, Ubisoft has announced.

The first wing of the first ever raid in Guild Wars 2 has been opened. This is 10-person content designed to be the hardest in the game, and offers, as an ultimate reward, pieces for assembling legendary armour. This is not more powerful armour: it is exactly as powerful as existing top-end ascended armour, but allows you to swap stats - presumably stat templates - while out of combat.

Update: And that's it, they're all gone. Enjoy!

Black Ops 3 is perhaps the biggest Call of Duty game yet. Single-player and co-operative campaign modes - online and split-screen - are joined by classic PvP multiplayer and the return of the popular Zombies mode. Based on the lavish effects work present in the new game, Treyarch is clearly keen to push the graphical spectacle on consoles further than ever before and this has clear repercussions on the core experience. Our initial impressions of the campaign showed highly variable levels of performance, while the use of dynamic resolution scaling meant that image quality doesn't always impress - particularly on Xbox One, where sub-900p imagery is commonplace.

Eidos Montreal has announced a six month delay for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, from 23rd February to 23rd August 2016.

Roaring fires, clanging jugs of beer, blustery walks in starkly lit woods, oh all the pleasures to warm a winter heart. Darkest Dungeon won't do that. In Darkest Dungeon your heroes die of heart attacks from too much stress; not even an anti-SAD light can penetrate its black heart.

Well then! Yesterday's article on Fallout 4 encumbrance sparked an interesting debate, didn't it? After over 300 comments on Eurogamer, a decent-sized thread on NeoGAF, and loads of tweets and Facebook posts, it's clear to me I picked up on an issue lots of Fallout players had an opinion on.

Green Man Gaming, following a spat with popular subreddit Game Deals, has made a change and will now tell buyers where game keys come from.

Crytek's virtual reality game Dinosaur Island is on Steam now - and it's a free download.

For Fallout 4, developer Bethesda added player character voice acting. Cool! For some, though, there's a downside: you're never sure what your character will actually say.

EverQuest holds a special place in my memory. I was 16 when it came out. I didn't have computer but my mate Rupert did, and I'd outstay my welcome at his house playing it - hardly a sustainable arrangement and it didn't last. But it sparked in me a longing to become a proper part of a 3D online fantasy world (and on my own computer) - a plan I would carry out with Dark Age of Camelot - and it wasn't long after that Rupert (Loman) and his brother created Eurogamer.

UPDATE: New details have emerged on Sega's all-new Valkyria title, with a report on My Game News Flash being handily translated by Kotaku.

In Yo-Kai Watch, jaywalking is punishable by boss battle.

The first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 is now free to download on PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Minecraft maker Mojang has launched an online tutorial to help teach kids how to code.

With Fallout 4 on shelves and thousands of special editions out in the wild, it's a safe bet at least one person is playing through the entire game with a plastic Pip-Boy on their arm. But how does the Pip-Boy stack up in the real world? Is it actually useful for your everyday wasteland explorer? Because I am a committed idiot, I decided to find out, wearing the Pip-Boy for a whole week. Here's how I got on.
