At E3 last month, publisher Bethesda announced the Xbox One version of post-apocalyptic role-playing game Fallout 4 would include a token to download Fallout 3 for free, but it would only be redeemable 90 days after Fallout 4's 10th November release.

Severely delayed, hobbled at launch and with key features being drip-fed throughout its lifespan, in many ways DriveClub has been the poster child of this generation of consoles to date: a fractured beast that's taken a long, painful time to find its feet. And so it is that, nearly nine months after the release of Evolution's driving game, the PlayStation Plus version that's advertised on the back of every launch PlayStation 4 box is finally here. So what's changed, and is DriveClub worth returning to?

Batman: Arkham Knight publisher Warner Bros. allegedly knew that Rocksteady's latest superhero opus would be a mess upon its PC launch for months.

Metroid Prime series boss Kensuke Tanabe has explained the decision to focus the upcoming 3DS spin-off Federation Force on characters other than series star Samus Aran.

You've got to give it to Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida; the man's got charisma. He's not afraid to show humility whether he's eating a habanero pepper or dying repeatedly at Bloodborne.

Silent Hills may have been cancelled, but we could be getting the next best thing with Allison Road, a first-person horror game that looks like a spiritual successor to Kojima Productions' P.T., the now defunct free game designed to tease Konami's since shuttered horror title.

Zen Studios has unveiled an Ant-Man cabinet as the latest add-on for its virtual pinball catalogue that includes Zen Pinball 2, Pinball FX2 and Marvel Pinball.

Following the astronomical success of CSR Racing, NaturalMotion is unsurprisingly ploughing ahead with a sequel - CSR2 - being built by an all-new studio that takes in some veterans of the racing game scene. It's a mobile game, of course, and it's free-to-play - but it is an exceptionally good looking mobile game.

A Cities: Skylines expansion will be unveiled in early August at Gamescom, developer Colossal Order has revealed.

The brilliant Dark Souls series has surpassed 8.5m sales, and more than 3.25m of those were on PC.

You can now recreate your favourite moments from Thomas Was Alone with the game's first wave of action figures.

What's your favourite Batmobile? If you answered the Tumbler, the thick, bulky and brutally functional supercar/tank hybrid from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, then I'm afraid you're just plain wrong. The Tumbler had a place within Nolan's universe, with its thudding logic dictated by the inevitable and rather joyless collision of immovable objects, but looking back through the history of Batman's garage it's an unsightly addition - a tool fit for a soldier rather than a vigilante, a guardian, a silent predator.

Mars spirals above you as your boots land on the surface of Phobos, the red planet's largest moon. But for the first time in Destiny, you and your fireteam don't feel alone. Ships of the Vanguard soar overhead, the might of the Tower behind you, their radio chatter in your ears. Down the dusty path lies chaos, a Cabal base that's being evacuated. But you aren't the danger here, and neither are the militaristic Martian conquerors. They are fleeing a threat far larger than themselves, one that The Taken King will see you slowly meet, comprehend, and then shoot in the face.

Nintendo's social network for Wii U and 3DS gamers will be refreshed this summer with a number of new features.

The Swindle is out at the end of the month, but you probably haven't seen an awful lot of the game outside of last year's announcement trailer. You might have read Christian's piece back in November, but it'd be nice to see some proper gameplay too, wouldn't it? About 20 minutes, ideally. With accompanying commentary from both the player and the developer. Yeah, that'd be smashing.

Path of Exile - a really rather good Diablo-style PC game - gets an expansion on 10th July called The Awakening. The plan is to unlock the content at 1pm PDT, which is 9pm UK time.

Microsoft will hold its Gamescom 2015 press conference on Tuesday 4th August at 3pm UK time.

It probably passed you by but Xbox One game Pool Nation FX has, in three months, been downloaded 2.5 million times - a tally any game would be proud of. The handsome pool simulator broke 1 million downloads in only four days.

Retro platformer Shovel Knight is getting a retail release this October on 3DS, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One and PC. The PC version is Europe only.

Production line engineering puzzler Infinifactory has left Steam Early Access for a full fledged release.

If you're happy to think of a conveyor belt as a unit of time, you're probably going to get on okay with Infinifactory. Actually, you're probably going to love it, because, grim and dehumanised as this follow-up to SpaceChem often is, it's also a profoundly loveable game. I love the squeal of victory that erupts when a solution suddenly presents itself, of course, but I also love the protracted groan when things go wrong in an unforeseen, hilarious, and yet entirely logical, manner. Most of all, I love the fact that my initial response to the unveiling of an impossible new puzzle - and they all look impossible at first - isn't that I want to lie down in another room and maybe eat a biscuit. It's that I want to start tinkering, because tinkering will get you going here, even in lieu of an actual plan.

Holy mother of mod, Portal Stories: Mel is awesome. Developed over the course of four years, this fan-made mod for Portal 2 is a standalone game of such quality that it could almost be mistaken for a true sequel to the much-loved series.

Soft Body is not as sexy as it sounds, but it may be no less alluring. A minimalist merge between a bullet hell shmup and a puzzler, Soft Body looks a little like an abstract, action-focused successor to Sound Shapes.

The King's Quest reboot's first episode, A Knight to Remember, will be coming to PC, PS4 and PS3 on 28th July, publisher Activision has announced.
