Sang-Froid: Takes of Werewolves is a game about fighting wild animals - and it was inspired, in part, by one of its designer's experiences fighting wild animals. "I had just spent six months in Thailand," explains Vince Blanchard, the president of Artifice Studio. He's Skyping from the company offices - a kitchen in his friend's house in Montreal. "Long story short, I had to go through packs of dogs every time I wanted to get to my home."

Gamer Network's video family delivers an abundance of different topics this week. Some thought-provoking and others just educational and inspirational. You'll be hard-pressed to find these kinds of emotions anywhere else in an article - we've really gone for it this week.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has shifted an impressive 20 million units since its launch earlier this year, confirming Samsung's position as the king of the smartphone arena - in pure sales terms, at least. The Korean firm is now hard at work buttressing that position by expanding the Galaxy S4 line with additional phones catering to a wider audience. We've already seen the hybrid that is the Galaxy S4 Zoom - a marriage of mobile and camera which is more successful than you might expect - and the Galaxy S4 Mini offers an entry point for those on more modest budgets.

Gitaroo Man is a game that could only have been made by people with a deep, deep love of music. But it's not just a love: it's an innate understanding of tone, of rhythm, of melody, of feel, and how the very best songs combine all that into something wonderful. Little wonder that voice on the title screen breathes the name of its hero with a sigh of pleasure that approaches post-coital bliss. Ahh, Gitaroo Man.

With the arrival of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, at last console players are set to enjoy a raft of cutting-edge games taking advantage of the pixel-rich "Full HD" standard. However, with 1080p so established, it's perhaps no surprise that the PC faithful are already itching to leap-frog to an improved level of fidelity. With 60Hz 4K displays currently starting at an eye-watering $3,500, it's the 2560x1440 standard - also known as "2.5K" - that is swiftly gathering pace, providing a boost to resolution that almost certainly won't be matched by the upcoming crop of consoles. We've made the upgrade ourselves and the experience represents a tangible, highly desirable leap over 1080p - and best of all, the total cost for the display upgrade was just £275.

This isn't a sentence you expect to read all that often, but I was quietly excited to play Spider-Man: Edge of Time when it came out back in 2011. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions wasn't a classic by any means, but it had a pacy, light-hearted script, surprisingly elaborate set-pieces and four different versions of Spidey himself, some of which were actually pretty entertaining. Best of all, though, each level threaded the guest-villain boss battle right through the middle rather than tacking it on at the end, providing a decent approximation of what it would be like to play a Silver Age comic book. I wish other people would nick that. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions - much better than I expected it to be.

Dogs are bang on trend for autumn/winter 2013. After last year's fashionable dalliance with the bow and arrow, a pooch is a video game's must-have accessory. Not convinced? Read on, Eurogamers, and discover the week's top videos from Outside Xbox.

You'll find them on a farm, naturally. Down winding roads that spider out of Banbury and into the Oxfordshire countryside there's a handsome house and a little office, where a lazy hustle of pigs graze in the small patch of land out back. It's a dashingly English scene, and as you make your way down the gravel pathway you're met by a dazzlingly English gentlemen: Excalibur founder Robert Stallibrass, the man behind a video game publisher that's a very English success story.

Ever wonder what John Carmack makes of the next generation of game consoles? Speaking at QuakeCon yesterday, id Software's legendary tech wizard said, "It's anyone's game as far as I can tell right now, and that's exciting."

So many Worms! It always astounds me how many instalments of the strategy series Team 17 manages to pump out - I counted 15 of them when looking up how many there have been since 1995 - but I guess it means there's still an audience for them somewhere.

The 16th of December is All Trap Day, a vital date in the Canadian calendar, on which citizens take to the woods and defeat a variety of ungodly fiends using only hanging nets, spikes and those grinning spring-loaded clamps that come studded with sharp metal teeth. It's entirely possible that you haven't heard of this national holiday, of course, because I only invented it a week ago in a bid to make things even harder for myself. Still, I practise it religiously - practise being the operative word since, on the 16th of December, an all-trap approach doesn't really appear to be possible.

The Alienware X51 is back, in a newly revised "R2" edition. The closest thing you'll get to a high-power PC in a console-like form factor, the X51 packs unfeasibly high levels of gaming power into a very small space, with the new revamp boasting an upgrade to Intel's fourth generation Core "Haswell" processors along with a significant bump in graphics power. The previous top-end GTX 660 has been replaced with its rather more powerful GTX 670 sibling, moving the X51 into a new league of gameplay performance.
