UPDATE: A Microsoft spokesperson has replied to us stating “The suggestion that all Windows 8 apps run on Xbox One is not accurate.”

The extended Director's Cut of Jasper Byrne's indie survival horror curio Lone Survivor will be coming to PC and Mac on Halloween.

Nintendo has officially halted Wii production in Japan, i.e. the only place where Wiis are produced.

In olden times, video games were all about collecting things, shooting things, or collecting things that made it easier to shoot other things. But modern video games are all about EMOTIONS, such as ANGER and CHILDBIRTH, as illustrated by PS3 exclusive Beyond: Two Souls.

The Xbox One headset adapter, required to use any third-party headset due to the upcoming console's proprietary headset jack - has been delayed until 2014.

Publisher 2K is going the Season Pass route with WWE 2K14 - its first stab at the IP since acquiring it from THQ earlier this year.

Warner Bros. has dished up a developer-narrated 17-minute gameplay video for Batman: Arkham Origins, which is out this week in the UK (physical Wii U and PC editions a week later).

Dan Greenawalt rolled his first car before he ever got a chance to have his way with it. A '73 Volvo 145 station wagon, it was a victim of the young driver's rash love of stepping its sizeable tail-end out. "It was rear-wheel drive and had loads of weight at the back, so it was great for drifting," he says, his big blue eyes softening at the recollection.

Recently released Windows update 8.1 appears to be causing mouse lag and cursor-jumping in some PC games.

WOMEN! Fancy getting into video games, but don't know where to start? Have no fear, Eurogamer is here. In this video Britain's third most relevant female games journalist, our own Ellie Gibson, presents a guide to gaming: what it is, how to do it, and why.

Have you ever wanted to punch a bear IN THE MOUTH? That's the entirely unreasonable question posed by indie developer Nicoll Hunt in this deliriously silly tribute to the glory days of the scrolling beat-'em-up, and if your answer is in the affirmative then you won't be disappointed. You'll not only punch a lot of bears IN THE MOUTH, but also kick them in the nuts and stamp on their fiendish furry faces.

It's two weeks in a row for Grand Theft Auto 5 at the top of the UK video games chart, totalling three top-spots since launch, counted GfK Chart-Track.

Rockstar has halved the amount of money you'll receive from repeating missions in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Howdy y'all, as they say in Texas - but not California, where most people opt for “hi”. Another week goes by, and we're another week closer to the next-generation kick-off. And of course, the big news of the week was the delay of not one, but two headline next-gen launch titles: Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs (yes, that's an underscore - because apparently that's how you're supposed to type it) and Driveclub. Considering I cited both in a recent “most anticipated next-gen titles” feature, that's a big disappointment for me. It's not the end of the world, sure, but certainly deserves a big raspberry. Why couldn't it be the two NBA titles? Bah.

Apple's phones may have stuck with a maximum screen size of four inches but in the world of Android anything goes, as the unveiling of the absurdly proportioned HTC One Max - which comes with a gargantuan 5.9-inch display - proves beyond all doubt. However, not everyone wants to own such a monstrous mobile and manufacturers are thankfully producing pint-sized versions of their leading handsets in an attempt to cater for this sector of the market.

You may not have heard of Yuri Lowenthal, but you've heard his voice. You've also most likely hurt him before. Hell, you've probably even killed him. As prolific as Nolan North and Troy Baker, Yuri Lowenthal has been in over 200 video games to date, though his profile remains relatively low. His IMDb page is a list so comprehensive you would be hard pressed to not have played a game featuring his iconic death throes. He's manipulated time as the Prince in the odd-numbered Prince of Persia games, he's hacked corporations as Matt Miller from Saints Row, and he's even donned the red lycra of Spiderman - albeit in Marvel Pinball.

The things I've achieved in strategy games. In Civilization, I founded the UN, cured cancer and went to Alpha Centauri. In Age of Empires, I developed a group of nomad settlers into a vast, militarised Iron Age society and conquered the world. And in Tropico... Well, I was ousted after 30 years, leaving only my legacy of decreasing pollution by 15 per cent.

Hello Eurogamers. The nights are starting to draw in, further legitimising our decision to spend every evening in front of Grand Theft Auto Online. But apparently there are some other games? And a new generation of consoles on the way soon? Best investigate.

Yet more proof this week, if more proof were needed, that the next generation does not start when Sony says it does. Or when Microsoft says it does, for that matter. The last-minute delay until spring 2014 of Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's post-internet open-world 1984-'em-up, was met with a certain amount of shock and no small degree of disappointment. Once that wore off, however, the greater concern was what we are going to play on next-gen consoles instead.

Rebellion's zombie sniping game, the wonderfully titled Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2, is coming to PC this Halloween.

UPDATE #3: The Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 3DS XL bundle is coming to the US. Previously it had only been announced for Europe.

UPDATE: A new title update for GTA Online should correct issues with players' vehicles randomly disappearing, among other things.

Fancy picking up a cheap PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi and 3G model with two free games and an 8GB memory card for £139.99? Argos currently has you covered.

Do you remember Putty Squad? Funnily enough, I didn't - my dim recollection had it down as an Amiga game, but after checking Wikipedia (I'm a journalist, don't you know?) I discovered it never made it to that platform properly, and was only ever fully released on the SNES.

Warner Bros. has told Eurogamer that Batman: Arkham Origins' Wii U and physical PC versions will arrive in Europe on 8th November, a fortnight later than the game's launch on other platforms.

Nuclear Throne is Vlambeer's latest chunk of glorious blasty chaos - a roguelike set in a mutated wasteland where you scrabble around for guns, shoot anything that slithers towards you, and occasionally grow another appendage or two when you level up. The game's currently available through Steam's Early Access service, and although it's clearly got a long way to go, it's already an insane amount of fun.

Mark Foster is a man who loves secrets. Not necessarily the messy, sinister kind - I only spoke to him on Skype for 30 minutes so I couldn't really tell you if that's the case, and he seems like an upstanding sort - but rather the kind that snag you in a video game, waiting to be unraveled; those little mysteries that give games like Dark Souls and Fez so much of their magic.

UPDATE: Sony has confirmed the delay of PS4 launch title Driveclub delay until "early 2014" and announced details of new offers for PlayStation Plus subscribers who previously would have been able to play a free version of the game.
