Ian got a sneak peek at what the beta has to offer, bringing you his impressions and two big old chunks of gameplay. For Ian's take on the beta, check out the first video below:

The Battlefield series has, to date at least, been faithful to the ideas that made it a hit from the start. It's the chaos of letting 64 combatants loose across a giant map, free to rip through the ocean waves in boats, or rocket to the sky in a chopper with your team-mates buckled up. And then watching them bail out, one by one, as each slowly twigs that you have absolutely no clue how to control the thing.

Remember Wonder Boy, the 1980s Sega Master System and Game Gear platformer? Nearly 30 years after the release of the first game in the series, we have a proper spiritual successor.

Metroid has always been a mesh of different DNA: a little of Zelda's exploration mixed in with the acrobatics of Mario and then tied together with some good old fashioned plasma ballistics. Even taking into account that heritage, there was nothing quite like Metroid Prime when it launched in 2002. Coming up to 13 years later, and despite a couple of high quality sequels and almost a decade of increasingly fevered begging from fans, there's been nothing like it ever since.

"A man on the road is caught in the act of a becoming. A woman on the road has something seriously wrong with her. She has not 'struck out on her own.' She has been shunned." I remember Vanessa Veselka's words on female road narratives as I boot up the free game Space Engine.

If you've looked at the thermometer lately, you will have noticed winter isn't coming, it's well and truly here. That's why the outside has turned into a bleak wasteland reminiscent of the North of Game of Thrones' Westeros, or the frostier realms of The Witcher 3's similarly brutal fantasy world.

For some developers, the start of a new generation offers an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and deliver experiences previously impossible on last-gen hardware, while for others, the power is finally there to make enhanced versions of their existing tech shine. Just like DICE's Frostbite and Crytek's CryEngine, Techland's Chrome Engine struggled on last-gen systems, but there's the sense that the technology has finally found its feet on PS4 and Xbox One. Earlier this week, we established that the Polish developer has sorted out most of its performance issues, but with more game hours under our belt we can better discern how version six of the Chrome Engine operates on the new consoles, and factor in the PC version too.

The late 80s and early 90s was a golden age for cartoons. Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, X-Men, The Real Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - the list of great shows, with theme tunes still lodged in your head 20 years later, goes on. But for every stand-out there was a stinker, and gaming-related TV adaptations seem to have been mistreated more than most. Video producer Ian Higton has gone on the hunt for the worst he could find. The last one really is a peach.
