Microsoft's ill-fated PC games client Games For Windows Live was long-rumoured to be shutting down next week - following an accidental announcement on Age of Empire Online's support page last June - but now Microsoft has stated that it will continue to support already existing content on it, even if users can't purchase new games or receive title updates.

Destiny's alpha test has been widely regarded as a success, with over 6.4m player matches held by PlayStation 4 owners over Bungie's long weekend of access.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture might not make a lot of sense, at least at first. Its small cast of five characters are relegated to bobbing orbs of ectoplasm that occasionally manifest themselves as ghostly apparitions of things past. Pay phones ring, only to shout cryptic messages to you, and nothing stays the same for very long. Unraveling Rapture's core mystery, however, is only one diversion. The real reason for existing within Rapture is simply to experience this beautifully melancholy piece of surreal interactive prose.

2D, side-scrolling sandbox games aren't particularly uncommmon these days - hello Starbound, and hello Terraria! - but how many of them can boast pirates? Pixel Piracy, an indie coming from Finland, can boast pirates, poop decks and, most likely, parrots, so if the high seas are your thing you might want to take a look at Ian Higton's live stream of the game. It's all kicking off at 5pm BST today.

He's been a global ambassador for kids TV phenomenon LazyTown, laboured on a Reykjavik building site, produced Iceland's 2006 Eurovision Song Contest entry and spent six months working in a psychiatric hospital. We should add that all these disparate entries on his CV come after his five-year stint as Eve Online's very first lead designer.

UPDATE 23/6/14 2.15pm Castaway Paradise developer Stolen Couch Games has told Eurogamer that Nintendo is aware of the game and "everything is fine" - despite its similarities to Animal Crossing.

Having not played much Borderlands and only having cursory knowledge of the series, I approached Tales From the Borderlands at this E3 with a bit of apprehension. Sure, it would offer fan service to veterans of Gearbox's open-world shooting series, but two games and a smattering of DLC hardly seems like the sort of inviting, expansive universe of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead or Bill Willingham's Fables series.

PlayStation 4 launch title Resogun has been updated today with a helping of extra content.

2K Games has announced Civilization Revolution 2, a premium mobile device exclusive.

EA has admitted that some Battlefield 3 players have been accidentally banned from the game.

The anticipation is the best part. Clutching a game box, and trying not to get carsick as you flicked through the manual on the car ride home. For someone used to the cardboard characters of the Saturn, N64 and Playstation, Unreal wasn't just a graphical upgrade: it was a revelation, a game that looked impossibly beautiful even without a graphics card. Even today, with a judiciously installed HD texture pack, it's still a sight to behold.

Dozens of internal design documents for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been posted online, revealing key details about the game's story, missions, enemies and ending.

Our initial analysis of the UFC demo proved mostly positive on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, albeit with the Sony system pulling out a small graphical advantage in terms of effects and image quality. However, the overall experience on both platforms didn't feel quite as polished as it could have been: transitions between menus stuttered on-screen, while a few mild performance issues prevented the PS4 game delivering the best possible experience in all areas. With the final game in our grasp, it's time to see if these elements have improved.

Watch Dogs has finally been dethroned after three weeks atop the UK all-formats chart, by EA Sports UFC.

The article was originally published in June last year.

PC gaming is reaching out and expanding beyond its traditional desktop domain, and while Valve's lounge-friendly Steam Machines have been delayed until next year, there are still plenty of options available right now for replacing or supplementing your console with a high-end, small form factor gaming PC. MSI's Nightblade is one such machine, combining the company's bespoke 35x27x17.5cm chassis with its accomplished Z87I Gaming motherboard and a meaty 600W power supply.
