We're holding off on publishing our Super Mario Maker review until we've had a chance to test the game on live servers, so it should be with you shortly after launch on the 11th. I've been playing the game for a few weeks, however, and it's pretty special. As well as creating a celebration of three decades of euphoric platforming, Nintendo's also crafted what feels like the most accessible 2D level design tool yet made.

Club Nintendo, the rewards scheme that let people buy games and other items with stars earned by registering Nintendo products, is selling its last item: a Goodbye Coin.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is a dream game. It's the kind of game that, in 1987, the young designer of the 8-bit Metal Gear may have dreamed would one day be possible. It's the kind of game that players like me dream of: an enormous and deep and seemingly endless experience that's worth the investment and then some. It's the kind of game where every hand-polished element slots together into a head-spinningly ambitious structure and they combine into something you can only call visionary.

It seems there are more video games based on Warhammer tabletop games than there are Orks grunting their way throughout the universe. Now there's another one - but this one's based on one of Games Workshop's more obscure efforts.

DICE has confirmed upcoming multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront does not feature a server browser.

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has waved goodbye to the Metal Gear series in a heartfelt video in which he visits the family of a fan who recently passed away.

Fallout is now a first-person - or third-person, if you fancy it - video game. But it wasn't always so. The post-apocalyptic role-playing series began life with an isometric viewpoint, a visual style now considered oldschool.

Update, 10am 2/9/15: We're down to the final few keys, so if you've got time to download and dabble in The British Forces before the trial closes today, now's your last chance.

I love cheesy horror. I grew up watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all those teen slasher films parents would overlook you renting out for a sleepover. I remember reading Goosebumps and Point Horror and later, Stephen King. I knew the rules for surviving a scary scenario inside out. You stick together, you never investigate a strange noise, and above all, you certainly don't drink, partake in recreational drugs or have sex. But would my supposed knowledge of how all these horror cliches play out save me when it came to directing my own story?

Sony has outlined the features coming in PlayStation 4's next big update.

There have been wastelands before, of course. From the Darling brothers' The Last V8 through to Fallout 4, the dust and decay of a post-apocalyptic world have long been one of video games' playgrounds of choice, where the sandboxes are dotted with discarded car wrecks and burnt-out petrol stations. How strange and satisfying it is, then, to return to one of the original wastelands, as birthed in George Miller's edgy cult 1979 film Mad Max before being fully explored in 1981's excellent sequel The Road Warrior.

Capcom has announced Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 for Nintendo 3DS.

Oh, what a day... what a lovely day! Mad Max is finally out, which is great news; our very own ginger Warboy Martin Robinson highly recommends it. Of course, it just so happens Metal Gear Solid 5 is also out today, meaning it's a safe bet a few of you will be missing out on all that Mad Max has to offer and playing with a tiny digital puppy instead.

Battlefield 4's big summer patch and free Night Operations map roll out today.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has a re-imagined version of multiplayer map Nuketown, which debuted in the original Black Ops.

The Star Wars Battlefront beta comes out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Origin in early October, EA has announced.

The Deadpool video game from 2013 is being ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Activision has announced.

Capcom's unveiled a few alternative costumes for fighting game Street Fighter 5 - and one of them gives Ryu a beard.

Konami has removed superstar game designer Hideo Kojima from the cover of Metal Gear Solid 5 and the Metal Gear Solid website, but his name is plastered all over the game where it matters most.

Steam is now selling all four Mad Max films as well as the new video game.

Kojima Productions may be no more, but it ends its tenure under Hideo Kojima's watch with characteristic ambition. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain takes Peace Walker's mission-based structure, and propels itself onto current-gen with an open world setting, materials-based lighting and a suite of superb post effects. Both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (and indeed the two last-gen editions) benefit from the adaptability of the Fox Engine too - but as the series' final narrative link is put into place, does any one console give us the definitive experience?

Microsoft has announced a new Xbox One bundle that includes a 1TB solid state hybrid drive.

The Trine games have always been closet 3D titles. They might restrict the player to two axes of movement, but their rich fairytale landscapes act as visual plunge pools, twinkling with brilliance and irresistible in their depth. They tempt the eye to look past that single, flat plane, tantalising with hints of a much larger world. What secrets lie beyond that sun-dappled pumpkin patch, that verdant forest foliage, that crystalline tropical ocean?

Capcom has announced Resident Evil Origins Collection for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, due out 22nd January 2016.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided deals with the theme of human augmentation in a slick, Bladerunner-esque sci-fi world.

Tomb Raider's identity crisis has been fascinating to watch. For the last few years, there have been two Lara Crofts at work: the first of them trying to humanise the video game icon one gruesome injury or base camp bunkdown at a time, the other blissfully free of most mortal concerns, twin-pistol blasting an arcadey path through isometric ruins, often with a co-op partner in tow.

Eurogamer has dropped review scores and replaced them with a new recommendation system. Read the editor's blog to find out more.

Uncharted 4 comes out on 18th March 2016, Sony has announced.

Richard Seabrook woke one morning and realised his life wasn't where he wanted it to be. He was 23 years old, he'd graduated from university and he'd taken a job he thought would lead to his dream career in games. But it hadn't quite worked out. He was stuck in the British seaside town of Bournemouth, in quality assurance testing, where months were sprawling ominously into years. "You know what?" he said to himself that day. "I'm sick of this. I'm just going to go for it." He set his sights high: Seabrook wanted to go for a job at Valve.

Imagine a world where we never had to debate whether Square Enix's 2014 Thief reboot was called Thief or Thief 4 or Thi4f. Imagine instead that the franchise remained with Ion Storm Austin, developers of Thief: Deadly Shadows.
