Has any film opening topped the excitement of Raiders of the Lost Ark? The initial approach of our fedora-sporting hero plunging through jungle ruins (braving copious quantities of tarantulas in the process) is ominous, but nothing our hero can't handle. A runaway boulder presents a greater challenge, but even this is all in a days work for Dr. Jones. Then a tribe starts spitting venomous darts at Indy and by this point all bets are off. Start the damn plane!

UPDATE 29/07/2015 2.30am: Here's Razer's official statement on why it's honouring Ouya's promotion:

Publisher 2K will unveil Mafia 3 at Gamescom next month.

The Town of Light has a spooky doll in it - an inclusion that, ordinarily, would point fairly strongly toward a generic experience. However, having made my way through a twenty minute demo, I can safely say that The Town of Light is something a little bit different.

To click or not to click, that is the question. If you've been following Life is Strange thus far, you'll probably be keen to continue on with this pivotal episode on your own save and in your own time. But, if you're that curious or that impatient, and hey, I'm not here to judge, here's the first 16 minutes of episode 4 - 'Dark Room' - for you to watch. There aren't many huge story spoilers for those that have kept up to date with previous episodes, it's more like flavouring for everything to follow.

Fancy a bit of PC first-person-shooter-style gaming on your PlayStation 4? Meet the Tactical Assault Commander 4.

UPDATE 28/07/2015 2am: Street Fighter 5's beta test ended up being a colossal failure, mostly on account of the fact that it did not work.

As such, Capcom has decided to pull the whole hog and reinstate it later once the kinks have been worked out.

It is fascinating to think about the numbers that developers choose to work with, and 100 - a plain old century - is the most intriguing number that has come my way in quite a while. The Swindle gives you 100 days to prepare for its final mission, and while that's enough time to allow you to work around unforeseen accidents, it's also enough time to ensure that failure will really sting. On my first attempt, those 100 days of build-up culminated in a mission that lasted 12 seconds start to finish, and ended, as all unsuccessful missions do, with a blizzard of banknotes and the crumpled thunk of a sodden body impacting on the cobblestones.

If I were Sonic the Hedgehog, I'd be pretty worried right now. After a string of flops and failed reboots, Sega's iconic mascot is looking more like a has-been than a go-getter. In fact, it's got so bad that they're openly auditioning for replacements, with developer Game Freak stepping forward with the Sega published Tembo the Badass Elephant.

The Terminator is a pre-order bonus for wrestling game WWE 2K16.

Last year the creators of infamous FMV adventure Night Trap acquired the rights to their cult classic and launched a Kickstarter to remaster the 1992 Sega CD curio. Unfortunately, the project fell significantly short of its $330K goal, but fear not! Night Trap super fan Dave Voyles is in the process of porting the controversial classic to a browser.

Journey. Perhaps the perfect word to define the trajectory of this particularly elusive PlayStation 4 remaster. Having briefly spent time with the game just last year at Gamescom, performance was solid enough that it seemed likely that a full release would follow shortly thereafter. Instead, nothing. Outside of the odd blog post, this particular port remained shrouded in mystery throughout most of its development cycle. Now, three and a half years after its original last-gen release, Journey has finally emerged on PlayStation 4.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag may not promote itself as a "built from the ground up" next generation experience, but Ubisoft's in-house AnvilNext engine is designed to scale up and take advantage of the latest graphics technology, and plenty of visual upgrades and performance improvements are promised for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners. But just how big of a leap are we actually witnessing? And is the difference worth paying a premium for over the current generation editions of the game? Finally, with all six versions of Assassin's Creed 4 on the table, we can put these issues to the test with the definitive look at Ubisoft's epic open-world swashbuckler.
