Zombie games are like zombies themselves; they're usually in plentiful supply and come in varying degrees of freshness. That means they're also kind of like tomatoes too, but I'm not sure anyone would pay to play a game like that.

Warner Bros. Interactive has announced two major Lego games for 2015 - Lego Jurassic World and Lego Marvel's Avengers.

A thousand things go into making a person and a lot of them aren't football.

If you're going to have bad voice acting, you might as well have really bad voice acting. It's the difference between a bad movie like Caligula, and a great bad movie like The Room. So when Resident Evil was remade in 2002 - in what's since been remastered in 2015 - it attempted to rectify the atrocious voice acting from the original title. Clearly that was a mistake as "still pretty bad" doesn't mean better. It just means blander.

Music streaming service Spotify will launch on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Sony has announced.

The Undertaker, one of Hearthstone's most popular and powerful cards, is to be nerfed in an upcoming patch.

UPDATE 16.17 28/01/2015: There's been a new development in the ongoing Ubisoft key deactivation saga, with third-party key seller Kinguin claiming an unidentified Russian is to blame.

With no chance to look at final code for Dying Light on any platform prior to its US release yesterday, it's safe to say that we're still in the early stages of our full multi-platform analysis - but we have played enough of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions to offer up an initial look at game performance.

Atari (remember them?) is making a new Alone in the Dark game for PC, and it's got a beta.

BioShock creator Ken Levine has offered up some new clues on his next project, an as-yet untitled game set to debut - at some point - on PC.

The starting section of Resident Evil Revelations 2 is littered with references to author Franz Kafka. I played the first 40 minutes of Barry Burton's campaign yesterday and couldn't skulk down a corridor without tripping over an excerpt from The Trial. Presumably Burton and ol' Franz share more than just a simple dislike of overgrown insects, but what, precisely? Trigger warning: contains footage of a creepy child who may or may not be a figment of your imagination.

Pukey fighting game veteran Reptile is a playable character in Mortal Kombat X.

Often, the end of a relationship is accompanied by such familiar, cliché-ridden sentiment as "It's not you, it's me", "You're still my best friend" or "I love you, I'm just not in love with you". Occasionally, that parting shot is less bittersweet and altogether more final, something along the lines of "I don't love you anymore, so I'm casting you into these labyrinthine catacombs to have your face and mind vandalised by giant-spider venom." So it is for Cassia of Tenos, who thankfully is a resourceful lass and one for self-empowerment so that after just four years and a 30-minute tutorial she's back on her feet, a tad miffed and crazy enough to frequently argue with herself.

With just a minute left on the clock, the battle for Hossin is a dead-heat. The jungle-continent is split almost straight down the middle, between shades of red and blue. The heavyweight New Conglomerate faction are just a single point ahead of their lighter, more agile Terran Republic opponents, who are throwing everything they've got right across the NC's front-line. A single captured base would swing it for the Terrans, who dominated the battlefield for almost an hour-and-a-half.

Techland's new zombie shooter Dying Light has a cheeky reference to Destiny's infamous loot cave.

Sony has announced that it will end support for the PlayStation Vita's Maps and near features in a forthcoming system update.

Capcom's episodic spin-off Resident Evil Revelations 2 has microtransactions, it's been revealed.

During her hectic and industrious life, Marie Curie soaked up so much radiation that her bones, if placed on the correct kind of treated plate, would photograph themselves. I read that ages ago anyway; I have no idea if it's true. My own expertise regarding Curie revolves around an earlier period: the wilderness years, the explorer years. You know, the time she spent hacking through the grasslands of Africa and the jungles of South America, limping from one ill-considered leopard fight to another, and trading her donkey, Mrs Rathbone, for a few pieces of chocolate and some shotgun ammo. Poor Mrs Rathbone.

A new exploit has been discovered that lets you boot Game Boy Color ROMs on 3DS.

When Epic unveiled Unreal Engine 4 in early 2013 it wanted to show off all the tech's bells and whistles. Its "Infiltrator" demo had whirling ships, flying sparks, complex light sources and plenty of explosions. It looked cool, to be frank. But it also looked like a video game. Set in a grim world of warring space marines, it didn't exactly equate to the type of thing we'd ever see in our ordinary lives. Yet one man, level designer and 3D artist Benoît Dereau, who worked on Dishonored, has single-handedly created one of the most shockingly realistic pieces of scenery ever modeled in 3D.

UPDATE 27/01/2015 11.17pm: Yet another Dark Souls speedrun record has been set, only this time it's in a different category.

UPDATE 27/01/2015 6.49pm: Majora's Mask's third boss isn't the only thing that's changed about Zora Link in this upcoming 3DS remake. The swimming controls for the amphibian hero have been radically altered as well, for better or worse.

This week you can pick up a digital copy of Titanfall with all of its DLC for just a tenner.
