Imagine you've recently made a new friend. They're fun, a little different, slightly unsure of themselves, but a good laugh once you get to know them.

I could well be alone in this, but I sorely miss the Guitar Hero fad. It seems like an eternity ago when the height of entertainment was strapping on a plastic guitar and windmilling drunkenly around the living room, until flatmates would walk in and point out what a prick I looked. Happy days.

UPDATE: ProSieben, the European operator of the game, has shared with Eurogamer the first video of what iconic locations in DC Universe Online will look like after Game Update 31. And here it is:

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was a modest success when it launched in 2010. Modest in sales, that is - the few that played Ninja Theory's breezy adventure have often become passionate fans of it. Namco Bandai's hoping to convert more players as it finally brings it to PC this week. To celebrate, here's our original review.

Star Citizen, the PC space combat and trading game that holds the world record for the most amount raised by a crowd-funded project, looks set to melt graphics cards when it's eventually released.

Remember Red Baron, the World War 1 dogfighting game released in 1990? (If not, read Eurogamer's retrospective published in 2010.) Its creator has returned with a Kickstarter pitch for a new entry in the series.

Over the next two weeks we'll be bringing you our pick of the games of the generation. Today we're looking at Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar's western that provided a surprisingly sombre take on the open world genre when it launched in May 2010.

The best way to encounter the original Velocity was to have it warp in from nowhere. It was a PlayStation Mini, coming from a relatively unknown studio, with little but a quietly stylish art style to mark it out. You might load it up expecting a competent retro-tinged space shooter in the style of Xenon. And, for a few obliging minutes, that's exactly what you'd get.

Enter the Dominatrix is potentially a fascinating case study in how games evolve. In its nascent form, it was an expansion pack for Saints Row: The Third until THQ decided it merited a full-blown sequel.

The plot steadily unfurls into a map that you trace with swipes of your finger, leading you past mysteries stated and unstated, through puzzles both visible and hidden.
