Sometimes all it takes is a good idea. How else to explain indie developer Chucklefish acquiring $2,175,719 for its Terraria-esque 2D randomly generated adventure Starbound? Chucklefish is far from famous with its most notable title being Wanderlust: Rebirth - though it's also collaborating on Treasure Adventure World with Robit Studios - yet it still raised over $600K in the first three days of its crowdfunding campaign last spring.

With World of Tanks, Wargaming got free-to-play right. They made almost everything in their game completely free, gave their players an enormous number of toys to play with only asked them to open their wallets if they wanted to customise their tanks or buy one of a small selection of special, premium vehicles that weren't any better than anything else on offer, merely different. Money didn't confer an advantage, only exclusives, simple favours or faster advancement up the same technology tree everyone else was climbing.

This is Happion Labs' Energy Hook - one of the first indie games to be released on Xbox One.

Zeboyd's role-playing game Cosmic Star Heroine will be released on Xbox One.

Indie developer Vlambeer is considering porting Nuclear Throne to Xbox One after successfully signing up to the ID@Xbox program.

20 years ago - nearly a decade before Medal Of Honor forced players to storm Omaha beach under merciless artillery fire, and a full 15 years before Call Of Duty ended a mission with everyone dying in the radioactive aftermath of a nuclear blast - one game taught a generation that war is, indeed, hell. If you were playing games in 1993 - especially if you were playing them on the Amiga, the concerned parents' 'educational' alternative to the SNES and Megadrive - you probably remember Cannon Fodder's 'Boot Hill' inter-mission screen, where tiny, brave, 16-bit civilians were waved through a door by a recruitment officer, only to (almost) inevitably reappear as gravestones dotting the surrounding landscape. It's hard to forget.

Valve has announced it is one of the latest companies to invest in The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organisation designed to advance the operating system's development.

Update 14/11/13: While the plan is still to re-test Battlefield 4 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 once we have retail consoles in-house (which won't be for a while yet), we are able to bring you a quick update on our capture process based on our PlayStation 4 hardware test, where the game played a small part in our analysis of PS4's background downloading acumen. We have a small amount of digitally lossless 1080p capture encompassing the beginning of the campaign - where we noticed one key difference between the review version we had and the final retail code: brightness. On the final game it is set to 50 per cent. At the Stockholm review build it was dialled down to a default of 30 per cent.

Bethesda has released a new Elder Scrolls Online video that discusses the all-important aspect of character progression in the online role-playing game.

One hour in, I was bored. Three hours later, I was starting to see the light. Five hours is the sweet spot, though. Hang on until then, and you'll be pretty much hooked. Rainbow Moon is that sort of role-playing game - and I guess that's a bit of a mixed blessing.

Developer DICE continues to struggle with Battlefield 4 performance issues.

It was - and in many ways, still is - a genius product. Last year's iPad mini slotted in beautifully between the iPhone and its 9.7-inch tablet sibling, with Apple effectively downscaling its wildly successful A5-powered iPad 2 into an ultra-small, exceptionally thin tablet. The mini didn't have anything like the raw power of its contemporary sibling - the fourth-generation iPad - but at the time it didn't really need it. Form factor is everything in the mini's case, and the sheer feel and complete portability of the product made it our default choice for tablet tasks in an office where we also had equal access to both of last year's devices. The only disappointment was a lacklustre screen - something that has been resolved for this second-generation model. However, in the case of the new iPad mini with Retina display, the screen is just the beginning of the story.

In my review of Battlefield 4's Second Assault map pack, I described its online service as patchy, but fighting its way back to full health. Well, in the interim, two consoles have launched globally and it seems like DICE's game has experienced an entirely different kind of levolution: its servers crumbling into dust under the mortar fire of people actually trying to play the thing.

Massively multiplayer online game Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn launches on PlayStation 4 in April 2014, Square Enix has announced.
