It was 2006's most eye-catching video game trailer: footage of Epic's gritty Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War spliced with Gary Jules' tear-jerker Mad World.

When Lethal Weapon 3 got its cinematic release in 1992, my parents dutifully went along to the cinema to watch it. At the end of the credits, they were delighted to discover, there was one last scene - an easter egg to reward those who watched all those names scroll past on the screen. So began an excruciating family tradition.

With the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft finally has an answer to Valve, Sony, and Nintendo's own off-TV streaming options - Xbox One Game Streaming. Utilising the Xbox app included with the new OS, Xbox One owners can now play console games on any PC running Windows 10, via their local network. On paper, this seems like an excellent addition to the OS that could enable players to keep gaming even when their primary television is tied up. Unfortunately, a number of issues prevent this feature from truly shining in comparison to its competition.

In the design document for Metal Gear Solid 2, written in the months following MGS's success, there is a section explaining the concept of 'Absolute Evil in MGS2.' "Evil in Hollywood films," writes Hideo Kojima, "has always changed depending on the time in which the film's story takes place. In the American market, where audiences like to see good triumph over evil, the absolute enemy - be it a race, country or setting - has always changed with the values of the times."

In the 1950s and 60s there was a whole series of films that asked the same fundamental question: what the hell are we doing when we go to the cinema? Hitchcock's Rear Window, Michael Powell's Peeping Tom and Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow Up, are all about the process of viewing and interpreting, often with a distinctly voyeuristic undertone. It's as though film-makers of the era were suddenly having a sort of existential crisis about their craft, and their audiences. Hang on, they were saying, what the hell are these things we make and why do people want to see them?

In our first look at Rare Replay, we concentrated on the firm's classic N64 titles, noting that the firm had utilised two different approaches to emulation in bringing its classic catalogue onto Xbox One. Where Xbox 360 remasters were available, Xbox One's shiny new backwards compatibility functionality was utilised to excellent effect, while the rest of the titles employed direct emulation of the original consoles, with no actual remaking or remastering in play - though the 1080p resolution boost was clearly worthwhile.

Hello, have you had a good week? I hope so. Rare certainly has - Rare Replay gave the developer its first UK number 1 since Banjo Kazooie launched way back in 1998.

XCOM feels more confident this time around. I kept thinking that as I quizzed Garth DeAngelis, the XCOM 2 Senior Producer over at Firaxis Games. We met briefly at last week's Gamescom to talk about the base building or 'strategic half' of their upcoming sequel, and boy, was there plenty to talk about.

Back in 1998 Konami broadcast a 12-part radio drama spin-off of Metal Gear Solid. Directed by Shuyo Murata - who would later go on to co-direct MGS4 - and written by the series' military adviser Motosada Mori, the series was never released in the west. Today Metal Gear fan Josh Griffiths released an English remake of that drama on YouTube and Soundcloud.

Developer Rocksteady has released footage of the 1989 Batmobile, due to be added to Batman: Arkham Knight next week for use in a couple of tracks.

So, dwarves. Dragon Age's subterranean dwellers were largely absent from Inquisition's main storyline - which sort of makes sense, since it was about fixing a big old crack in the sky. Instead, the underground race are centre stage in The Descent, BioWare's new DLC that is comprosed entirely of a sprawling six-floor dungeon, designed to appeal to and tax even the hardiest of Dragon Age players.

Nintendo has removed little-known shooter Ironfall: Invasion from its 3DS eShop just days after prolific coder Jordan "Smealum" Rabet showed off a homebrew exploit that made use of the game.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's co-director Jessica Curry is not your typical video game developer. Having a background as a film composer is one detail that sets her apart from the pack, but what's probably more important is that she's co-directed three successful commercial games without being a gamer herself. How did this happen?

The Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega comes out on 24th August 2015.
