If you log onto Sony Pictures Core today - an entertainment app for PlayStation I hadn't even heard of until yesterday - an advertisement for Genvid's new Silent Hill project, Silent Hill: Ascension, confidently straddles the page.

If there's one thing VR excels in, it's the horror game genre. Traditional flat horror games can be scary, sure, but there's always a safety blanket there.

Suddenly you're back in your room, safe from whatever is lurking inside your monitor.

I've always been fascinated by Devil World, a game that Shigeru Miyamoto made for the Famicom back in the early 1980s. It was, I gather, his first game made exclusively for a console. Devil World's a spin on Pac-Man, but one that never made it to the West because it used a lot of religious imagery. Devils, sure, but also bibles and crosses. It's always sounded weird and intriguing.

Sledgehammer Games has hit back at reports about the development cycle of Modern Warfare 3, insisting it is "incredibly proud" of the latest Call of Duty instalment and says that its "proud to be the team to lead the way on Modern Warfare 3", and "anything said to the contrary is simply not true".

I finished my first Dungeons & Dragons campaign last weekend and I haven't been able to stop thinking about endings since. Game endings in general, I mean - it doesn't need to be restricted to tabletop. It's something I hadn't really considered before, I realised, and now that I am considering it, I realise there's quite a lot going on.

Whatever you might think of Call of Duty, you can't accuse its anti-cheat team of lacking imagination; having previously caused chaos for multiplayer cheaters by whisking away their weapons and turning opponents invisible, it'll soon be cutting their parachute cords and causing their bunny hops to launch them 10,000ft into the air before a very messy end.

Almost a month on from its release, Lords of the Fallen is a visually stunning Soulslike that's still held back by ongoing technical issues on console - and that's a shame. After all, this 2023 series reboot is a rare breed of next-gen project designed just for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, S and PC. Added to that, the game is built on Unreal Engine 5 with a heavy use of its Nanite and Lumen technologies. Developer Hexworks goes all-out here in its world-building and the UE5 features allow for intricately detailed gothic environments, lit by a hybrid ray-traced global illumination technique. Add in a realm-switching mechanic - in the tradition of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - and it makes sense that the game's ambition is perhaps beyond the scope of a last-gen console release.
