For around two years of my gaming life I was obsessed with Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. I got decent at it too, hovering around Platinum League with occasional forays into Diamond - the Koreans were hardly quaking in their boots, but I could hold my own at a reasonable level. More importantly I loved Starcraft 2. I watched it all the time, followed the tournaments and the Korean GSL, and studied the strategies of players I especially admired. After a while I moved onto other things, then 2013's Heart of the Swarm pulled me right back in - new units being the most obvious draw, but the shaking up of a tired metagame being the real secret sauce.

Destiny's House of Wolves expansion will not contain a new six-player raid activity, Bungie has now confirmed.

Eligible owners of The Elder Scrolls Online on PC or Mac can now take advantage of a £12.99 deal to both buy the upcoming console game (PS4 or Xbox One) and transfer your existing account to it.

After many months of controversy, BMX XXX is, ahem, 'barely' a week away from release. We've been watching this one's progress for a while, and some of the signs have actually been quite promising. Constructed by the team responsible for the excellent Aggressive Inline, triple-X looks like a reasonable BMX title despite its lewd tendencies, and truth be told we were looking forward to playing it. Having done so though, we're not exactly enamoured, and don't think you will be either.

Titan Souls, a game I once described as "a minimalist Shadow of the Colossus meets Dark Souls," is coming to PS4 and Vita in Europe on 15th April, publisher Devolver has confirmed to Eurogamer.

In Titan Souls every strike is fatal. At a glance there appear to be no fair fights in these dainty hills and valleys, in the forsaken mountainsides and tombs. Your 15-pixel high warrior (assets: a crimson bow and a single arrow, a deft evasive roll and a purple bow to keep the hair from her eyes) must face off against towering stone giants, pulsating plants with spiked tendrils, mad yeti and monolithic statues with laser beam shooting eyes. And yet, a glancing blow from one of your arrows is just as deadly as anything these ancient monstrosities can level your way. Titan Souls is a series of fair fights then, despite appearances. It's a game of David and Goliath encounters in which fortune favours the slight and quick almost as often as it favours the colossus.

Hit the enemy's glowing weak spot! Learn its attack patterns, and dodge those dancing fists! They're commandments etched into video game lore, but some take those ancient edicts and turn them into something approaching poetry.

Epic Games has shown off a half hour of new gameplay footage from its upcoming build-'em-up zombie defense game Fortnite.

Procedurally-generated action-RPG Songbringer cites The Legend of Zelda as its prime inspiration, though it looks more like The Binding of Isaac's dungeon crawling merged with Sword & Sworcery's pixelated fantasy aesthetic and outdoor environments.

PewDiePie, the most popular man on YouTube, is going to star in his own game.

As of tomorrow Grand Theft Auto 5's PC version will have its own built-in movie editor, allowing players to remix the game's various assets into short films.

Recently I've been playing a preview build of Downwell, an upcoming vertical platformer for PC and Mobile that has gorgeous ZX Spectrum-inspired graphics. Having spent my earliest gaming years as a die-hard Spec-chum, it makes me kind of sad that, while many indie developers love to emulate the look and sound of retro games, modern titles that pay tribute to the 128k era are few and far between.

Part gaming chair, part theme park ride, the MMOne is a three-axis rotating seat that claims to be the world's first fully-interactive virtual reality attraction.

Amazon's German arm has revealed a Broken Sword 5: Premium Edition for PlayStation 4.

Editor's note: This is an early impressions piece of Infinite Crisis. Our full review will be up in the near future.

Colin McComb has a soft-edged voice, which offers a nice contrast to the intense stare his face can't help but settle into. Bald and gaunt and wiry in that peculiarly American way, he is what my grandfather would have called a railway man. But McComb is not a railway man. On the day I meet him at Rezzed, he is a dungeon master: the same preoccupation with nuts and bolts as a guy who rides the rails, perhaps, but these nuts and bolts hold together story and far more exotic materials - and McComb's rails can take you anywhere.

The Wii U re-release of Super Mario 64 seems like the perfect time for a retrospective, especially when you realise it's been nearly 20 years since its release in 1996. But there's something about the idea of a retrospective that doesn't quite fit this game. Hindsight is often ahistorical, free of the day-to-day chatter and contemporary context. A pioneering work like Super Mario 64, on the other hand, is impossible to divorce from its context because those same factors made it more than a great game.

It is my job, as a columnist on a rotating weekend plinth, to have an occasional opinion about video games. Not just any opinion, though. I've won a Games Media Award, you know. And once you receive a perspex oblong from a profit-making industry event, it behooves you to have superior opinions. If I wrote a column called "Does anyone else think the last third of Bioshock just trailed off a bit?", you would be well within your rights to drag me into the streets and park a juicy man-queef on my tummy.

Without going into too much detail, it's clear that Bloodborne owes a lot to cult horror author H.P. Lovecraft. It's got more than its share of madness, tentacles, and inconvenient truths about man's plight in a grim world, but those are just surface details true of many horror games.
