In the moments before our interview begins proper, Andrew House tells me 2013 has been his most exciting year since joining Sony. If he's being sincere - and, given what happened at E3 this year, he may well be - 2013 should be honoured. House, the communications expert from Wales who rose through the ranks to become boss of all of Sony Computer Entertainment - was at Sony Corp when PlayStation was a mere skunkworks project 23 years ago.

As it stands, Sony's games are more expensive on PlayStation 4 than Microsoft's are on Xbox One.

A trademark application for the long-awaited Shenmue 3 is, unsurprisingly, a hoax.

There are so many things wrong with Fighter Within it's impossible to keep count. The first thing you notice is the gesture recognition.

Yesterday Sony finalised its PS4 launch lineup of games and their prices from the new PS4 Store - raising eyebrows in the process.

Legendary video streamer Bananasaurus Rex has completed another seemingly impossible feat in Spelunky: he has killed the Ghost. (Warning: mild spoilers ahead.)

Making the flagship launch game for a new console - a role Killzone Shadow Fall plays for PlayStation 4 - can be a make-or-break moment for a game developer. The opportunity is immense: the world's eyes will be on your game. But there are risks too. You need to make the game on a tight schedule, to a hard deadline, and on shifting technical sands. You're going to have to cut features and corners; the game is probably not going to be quite what you wanted it to be. Just ask Bungie how right this can go. Just ask Rare how wrong.

Sony has been saying for a while that it wants PlayStation 4 to take us back in time to a more innocent kind of gaming, but I didn't realise they meant it so literally until I played Knack, an old-fashioned platform brawler where you run around double-jumping and mashing buttons to punch goblins and robots until they flicker out of view.

It seems there are as many Warhammer 40k video games as there are worlds huddled within the Imperium of Man. Here's the latest: Warhammer 40k: Space Wolf.

Sony hopes to lower the PlayStation 4 failure rate further for the console's UK launch.

I flew to Poland to visit CD Projekt Red, home of The Witcher, recently. I've told the studio's story but that wasn't all I found out. I interviewed at least half-a-dozen people, all from different areas of The Witcher 3 team, about the new game they are making. Here's a rather large dump of all the stuff I found out.

There's a neat pile of new evidence suggesting EA is making an open-world Star Wars game as well.

Like the pastime upon which it is loosely based, Xbox One launch game Powerstar Golf is comprised of a few triumphant moments, some boring bits and an awful lot of time spent looking at pretty scenery and wishing your friends were around.

Glancing at preview coverage of the crusader - Diablo 3's new class, who will arrive with the Reaper of Souls expansion - initially had me a little confused. A brooding hard-nut with a melee focus? Isn't that what the barbarian's for?

UPDATE: Astute readers may have noticed Blacklight: Retribution and flOw don't appear anywhere on this list, despite previously having been announced as launch titles and the former being ready for the US PS4 launch a fortnight ago.

Some of the first-party offerings on the new generation of consoles (I think we're going to have to retire next-gen soon) might fall a little flat, but at least the third-party publishers have your back. I've already put forward a case for Need for Speed: Rivals being the best bet to pick up with your new console on day one, and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag puts up a pretty good argument too.

The World of Warcraft movie, simply titled "Warcraft", has received the new release date of 11th March, 2016, Variety reports.

Forza Motorsport 5 developer Turn 10 is debuting a series of temporary offers to satiate players while it tinkers with its much derided micro-transaction-based economy - one that our Martin Robinson noted operates like a free-to-play game that still costs full price.

UPDATE: Microsoft has apologised for the wording in this ad and is currently taking steps to change it. The company sent the following statement to Eurogamer:

The Steam Autumn Sale has begun, bringing joy and mirth to people and emptiness and sorrow to their wallets between now and 3rd December.

UPDATE: The XBLA version of Assassin's Creed Liberation HD is slated for 15th January, Ubisoft confirmed on Twitter, making it synchronised with the PS3 version's release.
