Last year Microsoft featured The Witcher 3 on the biggest gaming stage: a platform-holder E3 conference at a time when both big new consoles were unreleased. There couldn't have been a clearer statement that this game was a big deal.

I never knew Walter "Bill" Heap. My grandfather, like all my grandparents, died before I was born, so I didn't get to hear any of his war stories first-hand. I'm told that, despite being decorated for his actions in the Second World War, he spoke of arbitrary and unglamorous experiences; of men drowning in harbours miles from the action because gangplanks collapsed beneath them. Things like that. Less Hemingway, more Vonnegut.

We've discovered a sneaky Easter egg hidden in Wolfenstein: The New Order that allows you to play some of the series' 22-year-old classic Wolfenstein 3D, re-made in the game's engine.

Hotline Miami publisher Devolver Digital's latest Early Access offering, Heavy Bullets, looks to be a surreal game with a realistic limitation: your gun can only hold six bullets.

Nintendo was recently under fire when it dismissively brushed aside criticisms that Tomodachi Life doesn't allow same-sex relationships. The Kyoto-based company later apologised for its initial response, but that hasn't stopped comedian and Community co-star John Oliver from envisioning a Nintendo multiverse where iconic characters can pursue gay relationships.

Before Bulletstorm, Polish studio People Can Fly spent a year making a very different game: a "moody as f***" detective thriller with a supernatural edge - Come Midnight.

Early Access releases are becoming more and more common - almost routine - but that's not necessarily a good thing. "Scam" release Earth: Year 2066 was hauled off Steam for misleading customers and taking their money. And while that's an extreme case - and there are also many good Early Access games - there are enough milder examples of developers not quite delivering what fans who paid them believed they would, to make Early Access a concern.

You can die a million different deaths in games, but you generally have much less control over how you're born. I'm not referring to that weird bit in Assassin's Creed 2 where you're suddenly a tiny baby learning to kick your arms and legs about, but rather those everyday births most video games offer - the simple, frequently unglamorous business of arriving on the screen at the start of a level, or after a nasty accident involving knives, guns, or teleporting cyber ninjas.

Arcade culture has, for years, occupied a strange position in the global gaming community's hive mind.

Every Sunday, we bring you an article from your archive that you may have missed first time around. This week, we present Lee Bradley's wonderful profile of Chris Crawford, the maverick designer who's dedicated his career to chasing a storytelling dream.

Just how far are we away from the day when we will be able to play games that reach last-gen console graphical quality on our mobile devices? From a technological standpoint, the arrival of chips like Tegra K1 and a fully featured Trine 2 port suggest that the time may be near. In the meanwhile, processors like Tegra 4 and PowerVR Rogue inch ever closer to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 standard in terms of raw processing power. This makes the arrival of Nvidia-sanctioned Android ports of Half-Life 2 and Portal - out now on Google Play for $9.99/£5.99 - of remarkable interest.

Back in the spring of 1994, there were plenty of astonishing things to catch your eye at the Trocadero. Galaxian3 showed the glorious peak of Laserdisc games. There was a Virtua Racing multiplayer cab that had cockpit cameras showing the players' faces. There was the sprawling 8-player Daytona USA (which would sit in place until the Trocadero's bitter end), a silky smooth racer complete with a 3D Sonic carved into a cliff face. But all this was nothing compared to what sat at the top of the escalator: a full-size Mazda Eunos Roadster in front of a giant screen, which was showing the most astonishing video game graphics I had ever seen. As an excitable man shouted the game's name, a red car flung itself around a coastal metropolis rendered in fully texture-mapped 3D graphics, all at a beautifully smooth frame-rate. I stood agape, knowing I was witnessing the future.
