The last game Blizzard Entertainment made for consoles - not counting an outsourced Nintendo 64 version of StarCraft, a PlayStation port of Diablo (outsourced again) or the unreleased StarCraft: Ghost - was The Lost Vikings 2 for the Super Nintendo. That was in 1997, 16 years ago. The strange thing isn't that the titan of online PC gaming is back on consoles - that was always going to happen. The strange thing is that its return is marked with a release that is more like a classic PC game than the PC game it's based on.

Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure, the sixth game in the FMV adventure series, has been picked up by Atlus for a PC and Mac release early next year.

Lately Steam Greenlight has been letting games through in smaller, more frequent batches, but that all came to a head earlier today when Valve greenlit a whopping 100 titles.

Crytek's free-to-play first-person shooter Warface will be coming to Xbox 360 in early 2014, the developer has announced.

Scribblenauts Unlimited, the third game in Fifth Cell's unique puzzle series, is finally making it to European shores this December on Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo has announced.

Just as Apple is rumoured to be working on a budget-price iPhone to attract a larger audience, Nintendo is hoping to capture a different userbase with the 2DS, the latest iteration on its handheld formula. Its launch is unlikely to upset anyone who's recently bought a 3DS or 3DS XL - and don't expect either of those two models to disappear any time soon. Positioned at a lower price point and targeted at a wider market, the fact 2DS will launch alongside family-friendly titles Pokémon X and Y on 12th October is no coincidence. The wedge-shaped handheld will be a sibling to the existing 3DS family, an additional option rather than any sort of replacement or improvement.

BioWare fans may recall that Mass Effect 3 allowed new players to answer a few questions about their previous exploits, so it could arrange this third chapter to their specifications. It was a nice idea that allowed those who lost their save files along the way to maintain most of their original choices, but it wasn't very comprehensive and failed to let players say that they rescued Wrex, for example. The studio has learned from this, though, and will be offering further options in its upcoming Dragon Age Inquisition via a new service called Dragon Age Keep.

Nintendo has announced a new version of the 3DS handheld console that plays all 3DS and DS games in 2D.

The PlayStation Vita version of Rayman Legends has been delayed, Ubisoft has confirmed.

Ah, Lost Planet 3. I don't think anyone ever expected great things from Capcom's game, but having played it a couple of times I developed a soft spot for it - and not just because everyone told me I look like lead character Jim Peyton. The shoddy combat and ropey execution was always a given seeing that Spark Unlimited were involved, but the sense of drama and of place always surprised me. A shame that gives way not long into the campaign, as Craig relayed in his review earlier this week, to make this nothing more than a generic shooter.

Guild Wars 2 is the most-updated online world in the industry, according to developer ArenaNet.

2K and Gearbox has announced the Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition.

Palmer Luckey thinks it's one of the best games out there for the Oculus Rift. I've yet to play everything - and Gamescom last week was my first experience with the headset that's sent excited ripples throughout the industry - but I'm not about to argue with the Oculus founder. Eve Valkyrie sells you on the virtual reality dream better than anything else out there, delivering a bespoke experience that transports you into another world with startling efficiency and effectiveness.

FIFA 14's next-gen outing will introduce 1080p visuals, more realistic crowds as well as more believable behaviour from its players.

Slow down Mario Kart! - there's an Angry Birds kart racing game in development.

Not many interviewees will excuse themselves to go jam with the house band.

Think the release of a new Call of Duty game every year is too much? Activision boss Eric Hirshberg told Eurogamer that all the company is doing it meeting fan demand.

EA will continue to make games with an offline mode, chief operating officer Peter Moore has insisted.

Square Enix has removed the digital version of Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn from sale as players struggle to log in and play.

In real life, you mustn't let a fight escalate, or so the veteran scrappers and brawlers advise through toothless gums and with black-eyed wisdom. Instead you hit them with everything you've got, right from the off: maximum violence, instantly. That way you have a chance to end things before they get out of hand, to remove your astounded opponent from the equation without risking much pain or, hopefully, any damage.

Professor Layton developer and publisher Level-5 has announced a seventh game in its favoured franchise, only this time it will be an RPG/puzzle game that may or may not feature the titular professor.

Last month I wrote about Retro/Grade creator Matt Gilgenbach's upcoming title, Neverending Nightmares, a psychological horror story based on the developer's battles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Now Gilgenbach has launched a Kickstarter to fund this ambitious, personal project about a man who wades through an endless onslught of nightmares, never being sure what's real and what's in his head.

UPDATE: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD has been confirmed for a North American release also on 4th October, so we can all celebrate together. (Thanks, GoNintendo.)

Sid Meier's Ace Patrol, the latest turn-based dogfighting game from the legendary Civilization creator, has launched today on Steam for £5.99 / $9.99.

Two months ago Ben There, Dan That developer Size Five Games released its competitive one-on-one platforming shooter Gun Monkeys, but it ran into one problem: the game wasn't selling well enough to keep the servers full of players. As such, people would log in to play with a stranger only to find there was no one to play with. How sad.

Telltale's excellent adaptation of Robert Kirkman's zombie-apocalypse survival drama The Walking Dead has been ported to almost everything, but that's not going to stop it from spreading to the youngest of current platforms, the android-based console Ouya.

Metro: Last Light publisher Deep Silver has clarified its comment last week that it would like to make the Russian post-apocalyptic series "more accessible."
