Hi Eurogamers, welcome again to your Saturday playlist of Outside Xbox's top videos. I'm sure we had lots to do this week besides roaming GTA 5's Los Santos causing terrible blimp accidents, but the evidence suggests otherwise.

Rockstar is rather excited about the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online next month, but one problem it's facing is that GTA 5 has actually been even more popular than the developer expected, so it's frantically trying to add more servers to meet the demands of its several million players.

Imagine waking up and checking Facebook. Maybe one of your friends points you to an interesting essay, fun survey, or cute cat video. For Navid Khonsari, he was linked to an article from his native Iran that branded him a spy.

We've been analysing gameplay frame-rates since 2008, so trust us when we say that the introduction of Nvidia's G-Sync is a radical development - the next logical step in display technology. The way games are presented on-screen changes dramatically, producing a fundamentally different, better experience. Screen-tear is a thing of the past, while the off-putting stutter that accompanies a v-sync game operating with a variable frame-rate is significantly improved.

Far Cry's had a long history of half-decent, half-imaginative and half-broken multiplayer. The mix of open-world mechanics and online firefights should work wonders, but Ubisoft's never quite managed to find the right balance: good ideas are swapped in for bafflingly wrong-headed ones, leaving a strange trail of multiplayer modes that are partly genius and partly mediocre.

There's a lot of things we take for granted in life: from our vision and hearing, to a roof over our heads, to a smattering of Steam sales ensuring that we never, ever don't have anything to play. But one thing most of us tend to forget is not everyone has 10 working fingers to engage in our favourite pastime with. That's where the recently launched Kickstarter for Quadstick comes in.

Hello again! The podcast is back for another of our fortnightly discussions, and this time we're talking about Nintendo's woes. Is the Wii U dead? Is mobile the future? How can Nintendo turn things around again? I would personally say yes, no, and not sure, but thankfully I'm joined by much smarter people such as podcast host Bertie Purchese, editor-in-chief Tom Bramwell and staff writer Tom Phillips.

In theory, fighting games should be one of the easiest genres to define - it's pretty much all there in the title. Two people trade karate chops, dragon punches and flying kicks until one is knocked unconscious or mercilessly killed, the only real complication coming from the clicking timer (fighters tend to suffer a cardiac arrest if they break the 60 second rule, you see.)
