So, Duck Tales then. Turns out it might not be all you remembered, and WayForward's recent remastering is faithful to the NES original to a fault.

If you haven't already ascertained from the spammy thing at the top of Eurogamer's homepage, your favorite video game site has a brand spanking new American cousin, USgamer.net. And we thought it might be a fun idea for us to write a weekly article about the crazy madcap stuff that's been going on out here. Not the shooting rampages, killing of unarmed teenagers and drone strikes you tend to hear most about, but the fun stuff that's been going on in video gaming.

By promising to reduce input lag to imperceptible levels and offering the fine, granular level of control required to to play any type of game, could this £70 gizmo be capable of making motion controls a genuine alternative to a mouse for gaming and desktop use?

It's all about the games. This is the mantra of the games journalist, hardcore hobbyist and amateur industry-watcher alike. It's a truism that's now so well used that it's been worn to a smooth patina of cliché; so rehearsed that it slips down unnoticed.

The most striking thing about Tangiers - the upcoming stealth adventure by two-man Bristol-based developer Andalusian - is its bleak, avante garde aesthetic that's all black shadows, sharp angles, and murky fields. At first glance, it would be easy to label a pretentious "art game," but beneath Tangier's dim alleyways and deformed beings it promises to host a surprisingly forward-thinking take on the ever-evolving stealth genre.
