At some point during the creation of a new Pokémon title, the development team makes a journey to the region in which the game will be loosely set. Once there, they hire a knowledgeable cab driver to drive them around the local sights and act as an impromptu tour guide, reporting details that the team will later use to colour their game. With this in mind, you have to wonder whether the Parisian cabbie hired to look after team making Pokémon X & Y - the sixth 'generation' of Tokyo-based Game Freak's world-conquering series - let his imagination run away with him somewhat.

In the BioShock multiverse, there's always a lighthouse, there's always a man, and there's always a city. In the world of film noir detectives, the constants are somewhat simpler. There's always a dame. There's always a case.

While Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 won't be making a splash on next-gen consoles, the acclaimed FIFA series is making a pledge to all platforms this year. A strong performer on both PS3 and 360, we last put the series to the test with FIFA 10 to largely like-for-like results - only minor visual bugs separating the two at the start of the generation. Since then, we've seen a plethora of tweaks to its animation systems, the addition of the Impact Engine, an invaluable tactical defending control scheme, plus a torrent of new online modes bolted on to the package. But the question is, does FIFA 14 on either consoles or PC hint at what's to come in the Xbox One or PS4 versions this November, or does it rank as a more conservative effort?

I want to see the skyscraper fall down, but I just keep missing it. One moment it's there, a gleaming, glass and chrome monument to capitalism right at the centre of Battlefield 4's Siege of Shanghai map. Then, inevitably, I get bored, killed, distracted, wander off in order to capture a flag, or - if I'm feeling particularly brave - commandeer a tank, and when I get back to check in on the towering building, well, the skyscraper's already gone.
