When Super Meat Boy creators Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes were contacted by a dodgy-sounding movie producer seeking money, they didn't put the phone down on him.

It's been something of a special day if you're a fan of BioShock Infinite. Irrational gave a little more detail on what to expect from the trio of DLC packs, and perhaps the most exciting detail was that one of them's being released today. Clash in the Clouds, a horde-like mode that repurposes some of Infinite's locales and places a tough emphasis on combat, is out today, and Tom Bramwell's already delivered a review. Ian Higton's going to be playing it himself, so if you fancy an up-close look this is the place to be.

The last time I remember spending any proper time with Tom Francis was in early 2010. We were both in San Francisco to cover the announcement of BioShock 2 - he was there for PC Gamer and I was covering it for Eurogamer - and he is one of two people who I remember vividly from that trip.

First things first: this is not the story-driven new BioShock Infinite adventure for which you were probably hoping. That will come in two parts, the first of which is called Burial at Sea and should be out later this year, and it's there that your dreams will really come true - Booker's a private dick, Elizabeth's a dame with a problem, the two haven't met before, and did I mention it takes place in Rapture before the fall? The fact I'm not making this up is extremely cool.

The first of BioShock Infinite's three promised instalments of downloadable content is finished and goes on sale today, Irrational Games has revealed.

If you ever wondered whether Irrational Games could do anything BioShock-related without throwing in a twist, I've got news for you: they can't. On Monday afternoon I went to a press event in Boston expecting to see a preview version of the first BioShock Infinite DLC pack. Instead I was told the DLC, called Clash in the Clouds, was finished and due out a day later. I got to play through the entire thing. It's pretty good, making more fun out of Infinite's varied combat.

In Yugoslavia in the 1980s, computers were a rare luxury. A ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 could easily cost a month's salary, and that's if you could even get through the tough importation laws. Then in 1983, while on holiday in Risan, Voja Antonić dreamt up plans for a new computer, a people's machine that could be built at home for a fraction of the cost of foreign imports. The Galaksija was born, and with it a computer revolution.

If you've ever played a Pikmin game, you'll probably be aware of that sharp pang of guilt you get when night falls and you realise you haven't managed to get all of your colourful little helpers back to the onion safely. Now you can take a little solace, at least: it turns out that Shigeru Miyamoto, the series' creator, knows exactly how you feel.

"If you could live your life again, would you change anything?" asks the thought-provoking successfully Kickstarted game, Lioness.
