Planetary Annihilation, the RTS made by Monday Night Combat developer Uber Entertainment, will go into beta later in September.

Badgers! Once, when I was young and riding in a taxi with my mum through some countryside, we ran over a badger. Shocked by the impact (badgers make quite some noise when they travel under a black cab) we stopped, and my mum politely asked the driver to back over the badger to make sure it was properly finished off. It was probably an act of kind humanity, but I've had and remain to have my suspicions.

First-person psychological thriller Montague's Mount launches on 9th October 2013.

Bethesda has announced the Dishonored: Game of the Year Edition. It includes the full game as well as all of its add-on content: Dunwall City Trials, The Knife of Dunwall, The Brigmore Witches and Void Walker's Arsenal.

So it really isn't Project Gotham Racing. When word got around that Lucid Games, a team formed from ex-Bizarre veterans, was working on a driving game, several eager fans put two and two together to get PGR5. That wasn't the case, of course: Lucid was instead working with 2K as part of the publisher's concerted push into iOS gaming, on an all-new game that's out to compete with the bountiful successes of CSR and Real Racing.

In an industry that's not short on beards, it's rare to come across one that makes you stop in your tracks and just feel humbled - one that makes you just want to drop whatever's in your hands and run your fingers through its tangled beauty. So take a bow Zombie Studio's Jared Gerritzen, and be grateful that it wasn't me interviewing you - I'd have been all over you like a strokey beard rash.

Microsoft has secured the Xbone.com domain - days after Major Nelson said it "disrespects" the creators of the Xbox One.

Farming Simulator isn't nearly nerdy enough, and that's the last criticism I expected to make of this console version of the ironically championed budget PC series. It's got the word "simulator" in the title - nerdiness should come as standard.

Gone Home has sold 50,000 copies, developer The Fullbright Company has announced.

Come, traveller, lean in and let me tell you how I defeated the lizardmen guardians of the Temple of Scales.

Ubisoft's got a fair few digital games bubbling along in the background, and doubtless the one that shines most brightly is Child of Light. A JRPG inspired adventure from Ubisoft Montreal, it's a delicate and quite beautiful looking game that's wowed anyone who's come into close contact - and queues to play it at a recent press event stretched on for a two hour long line.

There's an episode of Californication where David Duchovny's writer character is asked to provide a treatment of a screenplay by rapper Samurai Apocalypse (wonderfully played by the Rza). The script in question is called Santa Monica Cop. "Oh, like Beverly Hills Cop?" the Duchovny character asks. "Nah, man. It's Santa Monica Cop!" Apocalypse deadpans. This pretty much sums up my interview with Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune about his new Kickstarter project, the recently launched retro throwback Mighty No. 9.

These days it's easy to slap together a marketing pitch by describing a game as a mix of other games. "The Binding of Isaac meets Silent Hill" someone might say of Darkwood, or "it's Doom meets Spelunky" one could say of Paranautical Activity. It's a cliche, but it works. Now indie developer Suppressive Fire Games has described its upcoming adventure Bloody Alloy as "A 2D, urban sci-fi Metroidvania featuring the combat mechanics of Dark Souls as applied to gunplay plus the dynamic speed of Vanquish." I'm listening.

So Ferrari's about to field two world champions for the first time in 60 years. I'm still not quite sure what to make of that - having two top-tier drivers in the same team never really works out, and the pairings of Prost and Senna, Mansell and Piquet or Hamilton and Alonso all proved counter-productive. I can't help but feel that Alonso's chances of getting the title he deserves for Ferrari have been slimmed drastically now that Raikkonen's arrived, but there'll at least be fireworks next year.

Valve will be adding a new service entitled Family Sharing to Steam, allowing users to share a game with household members across multiple accounts.

Apple is calling the iPhone 5S its most forward-looking design yet, and it's not kidding - the A7 processor at the heart of the new device is the world's first 64-bit smartphone CPU. Apple has evolved mobile architecture in a new direction, beating ARM's own 64-bit designs to the market in the process. On top of this potentially revolutionary advancement, it is promising the now customary 2x boost to both CPU and GPU power.
