22nd November is going to be a crazy day for gaming with the Xbox One launching and a new Zelda emerging for 3DS, but Sony's got an ace up its sleeve for the Vita with LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule releasing its adorable papercraft platforming adventure Tearaway - and it's now been revealed that it's getting a demo too for those still on the fence.

Taking something beautiful and retooling it into something beastly is one of the consistent pleasures of the Forza series. When the Ferrari 288 GTO rolled out of the Maranello gates, it was a vision of sculpted perfection: in Forza, there's an illicit kick in lowering the profile of its chassis, stripping out the luxurious leather interior then strapping a supercharger onto that already heavy-hitting twin turbo V8 to create a true monster.

Promising mech shooter Titanfall is one of Xbox One's flagship titles, but EA is considering future titles in the series for launch as fully multiplatform releases.

It's easy enough to see the visual appeal of Tearaway from screenshots and videos, but to truly appreciate it you need to hold it in your hands. This is an undeniably visual game, but you need to hear the subtle crinkling, flapping and rustling of the paper landscape as you explore. The game looks lovely, but it's those audio touches that glue it all together and sell the illusion.

Fan-made Half-Life remake, Black Mesa, has been given the go-ahead by Valve to become a commercial product on Steam.

Like PlayStation 4, Xbox One requires a subscription to its premium service to play games online. But what, exactly, do you get with Xbox Live Gold?

OK, we admit it, we were hoping for both next-gen consoles to melt down and explode in a massive logic paradox when we first tested this out, but the reality turned out to be predictably mundane: the Xbox One works just fine when the PlayStation 4 is connected up to its HDMI input, and in turn, Sony's new console has no qualms whatsoever about being interfaced with its new console rival.

Last year a Japanese turn-based PSP RPG with the ridiculous title that translates to Conception: Please Give Birth to My Child! managed to sell quite well in its native land.

We don't know, but it sounds like it's risen or Sony would have boasted "less than half a per cent." Details.

Taking over the reins of the Batman franchise from Rocksteady for this latest instalment, Warner Bros.
