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.

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.

Switching on your next-gen console you might be surprised to notice it lacks some of the most-used features of its eight-year old predecessor. But that is the case with Xbox One, whose operating system trades many of the Xbox 360's system features for a leaner interface.

Despite a reputation for creative conservatism, Japanese role-playing games have enjoyed something of a revival of the imagination in recent times. The recent triumvirate of Nintendo Wii titles, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower, demonstrated the potential for ingenuity and originality in this often staid genre - particularly Xenoblade, which is one of the most interesting games of any sort of the past decade.

Vita TV got off to a slow start in Japan - but that hasn't put Sony off of releasing it in the west.
