Project Cars, the hotly anticipated multi-format racing game from Slightly Mad Studios, has had its release date pushed back again, with release now scheduled for April 2nd.

Hearthstone: The Curse of Naxxramas is a fantastic idea for an expansion pack for the collectable card game - and one with interesting origins. You might imagine those lie in World of Warcraft, and you'd be half right: Naxxramas was a raid dungeon in that game, floating above Dragonblight in Northrend. (Or so it says on the internet. In common with a lot of Hearthstone players, I never really got into WOW - you don't need to know any lore in order to enjoy Hearthstone.) But if you ask me, the reason we have something like Naxxramas is more to do with Blizzard's core philosophy about what makes Hearthstone tick.

When you review an expansion for a game like Hearthstone, you're appraising the community that plays it every bit as much as you are the new tools forged by Blizzard's blacksmiths. And this particular community is for the most part remarkably conservative; one that prefers to huddle around the warmth of an established fireside rather than seek out new flames. It's to the internet that the majority of players turn - rather than their own card collections - in order to craft the latest and greatest decks.

It seems like a long time ago we got excited about Torment: Tides of Numenera, the record-breaking Kickstarter game. Things were quiet in gaming back then, and bringing back beloved old games in new ways was exciting. But the world has moved on, new consoles launched, and similar kinds of nostalgic Kickstarter games eventually came out. Excitement naturally died down.

Nintendo today launched free-to-play match-3 puzzle game Pokémon Shuffle on the 3DS eShop - but just how intrusive are its in-game purchases?

Over the last 15 years, Eurogamer's parent company Gamer Network has launched a number of websites. Some, like Eurogamer and our US counterpart USGamer, are aimed squarely at consumers, while others like GamesIndustry.biz cater to industry interests. All of them share a common theme in covering the entire spectrum of gaming tastes.

Development of Spintires, the off-road truck simulator that lit up Steam last year, is back on track after its publisher and programmer made up.

I hadn't checked in with Broforce for quite some time, despite the steady flow of new playable characters and the daft 'Expendabros' crossover of last year. I thought this was going to end up being yet another Early Access game that I'd stop playing prior to the full release.

UPDATE 18/02/2015: The mystery person behind the 15.135 million yen - or around £85,000 - winning bid for the PlayStation 4 20th Anniversary Edition charity auction failed to pony up.

While eSports is big business in North America and East Asia, where thousands pack out stadiums to watch professional gamers compete at live events, in the UK it's fair to say eSports has yet to take off in a live setting at least.

It appears that The Stomping Land, a multiplayer survival game about dinosaurs that raised over $100,000 on Kickstarter, is finally dead.

Nintendo's upcoming limited edition Gold Mario Amiibo will be exclusively available from Walmart in the US.

How's this for a video game origin story? Around seven years ago, Mark Major, a New Zealand university student working in China, was crossing the road when the ground opened up and swallowed him.

Electronics giant Sony has outlined a new three-year strategy for a return to profitability after a series of huge losses - and PlayStation is central to the plan.

What if your eyes can't immediately see the difference between a Rare and Epic piece of loot in World of Warcraft because you're colourblind? What if you can't quickly see whether characters are hostile or friendly?

Free-to-play combat title World of Tanks will launch on Xbox One at some point in 2015.

Loot is the new level up. A few years ago, people posted about their fourth prestige on Facebook, most probably humming Call of Duty's butt-rock progression jingle as they did so. Come 2015, and my Twitter feed is cut with great swathes of pictures of Destiny's tooled-up future-warriors, owners boasting about their new exotic codpiece, screenshots saturated by more purple than a Prince album cover.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong's Kickstarter campaign has ended at $1,204,646.

The Phantom Dust remake's future is looking uncertain as Microsoft has ended its working relationship with the game's developer Darkside Game Studio.

Hyrule Warriors is getting new DLC in Japan next week that lets you play as series' villain Ganondorf (or Ganon for short) in "beast" form.

FPS roguelike Paranautical Activity is back on Steam, despite one of its developers threatening Gabe Newell's life over a marketing snafu back in October.

The Xbox exclusive / Health and Safety nightmare Screamride now has a demo up on the Xbox One marketplace, and Ian's taken it for a rather dangerous test drive. There are three game modes on offer in the demo; Screamrider mode allows you to speed along pre-made tracks, and Demolition Expert is a physics-based destruction simulator - basically a 3D Angry Birds. The star of the show though is Engineering mode, which allows you to build and customise your own rollercoaster. Needless to say, Ian just uses it as an excuse to try and kill people.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has sold over 3m copies to retailers worldwide, Capcom has announced.
