There's an official The Legend of Zelda version of Monopoly due out next month.

Evolve is one might fine looking multiplayer game, a worthy successor to the likes of Left 4 Dead. Which shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, really, given that it's Turtle Rock pulling the strings for the asymmetrical co-op shooter.

inXile Entertainment has advised that post-apocalyptic role-playing game Wasteland 2 will likely launch in September - not August as planned.

UPDATE 4/8/14 8.30AM Bungie has acknowledged the negative fan reaction to news that Destiny's raids don't supporting online matchmaking.

The once thought dead Dead Island movie is alive, according to Deadline.

As the big shooter season rolls in once again, Respawn has chosen the perfect time to unleash its next batch of maps. And Frontier's Edge, the second set of Titanfall DLC, arrives alongside the most significant title update the game has received yet.

Derbyshire lad Chris Sorrell has come a long way since pounding the streets of Matlock in the 80s. He's worked with the likes of Millennium Interactive, SCE Cambridge and Radical Entertainment, and has had a hand in creating world-famous video game franchises such as MediEvil and James Pond.

Every Sunday we offer up an article from our archive, either for you to discover for the first time or to get acquainted with all over again. This week we present Simon Parkin's profile of Hironobu Sakaguchi, originally published in February 2012.

Two days ago, Respawn furnished Titanfall with its fifth title update, addressing a whole bunch of issues but most tantalising of all, promising significant performance improvements. The developer says that the patch includes "lots of yummy bandwidth optimisations as well as various delicious frame-rate optimisations... lovingly hand-crafted and squeezed into the game".

My best friend buys his first arcade machine. Secretly, I'd hoped this might be a mid-life Time Crisis, or at the very least an Operation Wolf. But it's simply a careworn upright cabinet, an entry-level fixer-upper. An eBay description would most likely describe it as "generic", although that doesn't feel like the right word to describe the sweeping, if slightly puckered, blue and yellow side panel art, even if the marquee signage says, simply, "VIDEO GAME". (It's a Ronseal-esque sentiment stealthily undermined by an oversized "O" that resembles the Death Star.) This cabinet looks bashed and slightly battered, its authentic vintage confirmed by a control console designed to accommodate an ashtray. In short, it looks pretty much perfect.

Hi Eurogamers, welcome to your weekly round up of the video goings-on over at OutsideXbox.com. This week, bereft by the end of the Destiny Beta, we went searching for anything else that would let us run around on the moon and shoot things. We found Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Can mobile truly catch up with and surpass last-gen console performance? A couple of weeks ago we reviewed the Xiaomi MiPad featuring Nvidia's Tegra K1 - a processor that features, theoretically at least, more GPU power than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Our conclusions? There were hints of the chip's capabilities but no real demonstration of its power. Well, this week, our Nvidia Shield Tablet arrived for review, pre-loaded with Frozenbyte's Trine 2 - a modern PC and console title that miraculously looks and plays closely to the existing console and PC versions of the game.

I actually felt kind of sorry for EA this week. Well, as sorry as you can feel for a faceless corporation that's got an annoying habit of trying to anthropomorphise itself, like some yuppie Pinocchio who wants so desperately, desperately hard to be loved. Still, EA comes in for some unfair stick, like it did following the announcement of EA Access, the Netflix-like subscription service that offers up a selection of the publisher's games for a slim subscription.

Battlefield 4. It hasn't been pretty. Given the nearly weekly meltdowns DICE's game has endured since its launch, it's easy to forget those who forked out for a Premium subscription. Money paid up front for a promise of regular content drops seemed insignificant when the game just did not work.

The developer of Rust has revealed a new game prototype that it describes as "tennis crossed with Street Fighter".

The Bitmap Brothers' light-hearted robot-themed real-time strategy game Z: Steel Soldiers relaunches on PC today.

Square Enix will today launch a 14 day free trial for the PC version of subscription-based massively multiplayer online game Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn.

The good news first: Sacred 3 is a vast improvement over its 2009 predecessor, in technical terms at least. Gone are the fussy camera, the scruffy visuals and fiddly menus, and in their place stands a slick and basically enjoyable action RPG.

FIFA 15 doesn't have Brazilian domestic teams, EA has announced.

Mystery has surrounded Naughty Dog's PlayStation 4 remaster of its survival horror classic, The Last of Us. Announced by error and with a somewhat muted marketing push, it's a remaster where the developer has seemingly been unwilling to actually show us the game in action, a state of affairs that persisted into E3 where it was mysteriously absent from the Sony press booth. Quite why this was the case remains a puzzle - Naughty Dog had nothing untoward to hide. It's a brilliant game.

EA is turning off the lights at Ultima Forever, the multiplayer role-playing game for iOS devices.

A retail version of Double Helix's Killer Instinct reboot is coming to Xbox One on 23rd September, Microsoft has announced.

With Naughty Dog, you often get more than you asked for. When the Sony-affiliated Santa Monica developer set about creating a light-hearted jaunt for the PlayStation 3 with Uncharted, it created a dynamic and impressively filmic brand of interactive action. As the last generation came to an end and it set about a fusion of the survival horror of Resident Evil 4 with the emotional heart of Ico, it flourished a post apocalyptic genre piece with a tale of human warmth: a story about adolescence interrupted, adulthood and parental responsibility, as well as the countless lies we tell each other every day just in order to survive.

UPDATE 31/07/2014 11.13pm: A new teaser video for BioWare's upcoming project, ostensibly titled Shadow Realms, has arrived via its You've Been Chosen site.

Last year a class action lawsuit was filed against Gearbox and Sega alleging that Aliens: Colonial Marines was falsely advertised as its impressive press demo at E3 didn't resemble the final retail release. At the time Gearbox and Sega sought to fight this lawsuit and now Gearbox has filed a motion stating exactly why the accusations are baseless and that the developer should be removed from the lawsuit entirely.

Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel has started his own studio.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is getting its fourth and final DLC pack next week with Nemesis, debuting on Xbox One and Xbox 360 on 5th August.
