Dinosaur-taming open-world game ARK: Survival Evolved's developer Wildcard is offering its Early Access players $100 if they report any hacks.

It's unusual to see PC multi-platform titles failing to match up to their console equivalents - Xbox One and PS4 are based on PC technology, after all - but in Batman: Arkham Knight we have a rare example. Having tested the PC game on a Intel Core i7 3770K machine, with 16GB of memory and a GTX 780 Ti, a solid all-round experience should be within easy reach. In reality, performance levels are poor with this setup, and to throw salt into the wound, the PC's top tier settings miss out on visual effects found in the PlayStation 4 release.

UPDATE 24/06/2015 8pm: "Activision has confirmed to EG that the Red Bull promotion is limited to North America."

Disgaea developer Nippon Ichi Software has teased a new horror game with the following live-action trailer:

Back in February we covered Portal Stories: Mel, a free Portal 2 mod that looks so refined it could easily be mistaken for an official Valve product. Now that mod is slated for release tomorrow on Steam.

The Elder Scrolls Online's PS4 patch is a colossal 15.9GB.

XCOM 2 sounds all kinds of exciting. With taller sectoids, procedural levels and humanity having already fallen from the get-go, it absolutely has my attention. But a November release date? Man, that is like five whole months away. I don't want to wait that long. I'd like more XCOM and I'd like it right now, thanks very much.

Independent Polish Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly has returned.

After a week, more than a million votes for Xbox 360 back compatible games have been cast via Microsoft's official Xbox Feedback site.

Perhaps the hottest appointment at this year's E3 was a chance to try out the prototype Oculus Touch controllers. Such was the buzz around them that it took some persistence just to get my foot in the door. I'd been booked in to try the final Rift hardware (and very much enjoyed a slice of Insomniac's action-adventure Edge of Of Nowhere on it), but getting a go on Touch necessitated a favour from an old friend and a willingness to hang around Oculus' meeting rooms for an hour late on Thursday afternoon, the show floor winding down somewhere below and the time of my flight back to London creeping ever closer, while Sony's Shuhei Yoshida and Epic's Mark Rein made friendly small talk on the sofa across for me.

The PlayStation Plus Edition of DriveClub will launch tomorrow, 25th June, Sony has announced.

Bungie has told Eurogamer that it will release a little extra something for all Destiny players, regardless of platform, when the game's initial round of timed-exclusive Sony content launches on Xbox this autumn.

Blizzard has previewed a major new patch - 2.3.0 - for Diablo 3. This is "right around the corner" from the Public Test Realm apparently.

UPDATE 24TH JUNE: We weren't offered a ReCore interview at E3 and the game wasn't present at the show in any way beyond the trailer released below. It's still very early days.

Microsoft will launch a limited edition 1TB Forza Motorsport 6 Xbox One console this September.

The launch of Batman: Arkham Knight may have been blighted by the arrival of the PC train-wreck, but let's be clear - Rocksteady's console game is a slickly presented finale to the saga that should not be overlooked. Based on early impressions, the game has already proven itself in the performance stakes, and that solid frame-rate and stability is backed up by a more ambitious approach to the open world gameplay pioneered in 2011's Arkham City.

Next year's Fire Emblem Fates will be the first game in the series to include the option of same-sex marriage.

When XCOM 2 was announced earlier this month, it wasn't quite the sequel I was expecting. I had always assumed the follow up to XCOM: Enemy Unknown would simply be more of the same, with alien forces launching a new invasion after recovering their strength in the far reaches of space. Instead, we glimpsed a future in which man and alien share an integrated society filled with guarded checkpoints, propaganda films and nods toward strange eugenics initiatives. The XCOM project has been pushed further to the fringe, continuing as a guerrilla unit trying to upheave this ordered society in any way they can. Hang on! Did we lose the war?

Nintendo's colourful online shooter Splatoon has now sold more than a million copies worldwide, the company announced today.

Perception, the horror game about a blind woman exploring a haunted New England manor, has surpassed its $150K Kickstarter goal.

Rare has announced Sea of Thieves, a new IP for the studio, at Microsoft's Xbox conference.

A real-life Daredevil bested Super Mario World while wearing a blindfold through the entire game.

Batman, as we all know, has sworn an oath not to kill people. But what you don't know can't hurt you, apparently, as the world's greatest detective seems to not understand basic concepts like the fact that people aren't indestructible robots. We can't all afford state of the art pectoral armour like you, Bruce!

UPDATE 23/06/2015 5.45pm: Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3: Catch a Ride is out today on PC, Mac and North American PS4s and PS3s. And with that comes a new launch trailer [below].

Devolver has released 15 minutes of Shadow Warrior 2 gameplay footage from E3.

The Game of the Year Edition of Wasteland 2 is now known as the Director's Cut. This is the spruced up version being released on PS4 and Xbox One, and re-released for free on PC to existing owners of the game.

UPDATE 23/06/2015 5.34pm: Criterion founder Alex Ward noted on Twitter that the Burnout studio was also offered the opportunity to work on the first Forza, Mad Max, a Vauxhall only racer, a Command & Conquer FPS and a Gone in 60 Seconds game.

A survey has leaked ideas for a new $14.99 story-based Dragon Age: Inquisition downloadable content add-on.

Batman: Arkham Knight developer Rocksteady has acknowledged that the game's PC version has launched with serious performance issues.

I was awful at Mirror's Edge when it came out in 2008, so it was with no small amount of trepidation I approached my hands-on time with reboot Mirror's Edge Catalyst at this year's E3. To my delight, it plays really nicely and I only broke Faith's legs three times during the ten minutes I spent running around the city of glass. Not bad.
