UPDATE: Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies's whale defense DLC will launch in Europe, Capcom has announced.

Kokuga landed on the eShop recently with alarmingly little fanfare. In ordinary circumstances, that would be understandable: publisher G.rev isn't likely to have any kind of marketing budget to give it a push, while many will be put off by its ostensibly expensive £13.49 price tag (although it received a full-price retail release last August in Japan, which helps explain it).

Legendary Sandman and American Gods scribe Neil Gaiman will be making his video game debut with his ghostly adventure Wayward Manor, publisher Moonshark has announced.

Torchlight 2 has shot past two million sales since its launch last September, developer Runic has announced via Twitter.

Update: Submissions are closing soon for this year's Indie Games Arcade! The closing date is Saturday 27th July. We meant Friday, really, but we put the wrong date on the form, so if you're an indie developer who wants in on the Indie Games Arcade, you can have Saturday as well to add that last day of polish.

Payday: The Heist was a super-promising multiplayer shooter that took the co-op gunplay of Left4Dead and squeezed it into a contemporary, more natural world. Payday 2's hoping to deliver fully on that promise, and every time I've seen it I'm more and more convinced that Overkill really are going to bring home the goods this time round.

Battlefield 4 developer DICE has shown off the next version of its social service Battlelog, which will tie deeper into the main PC and console game than before.

Sony has announced a number of tempting discounts on PS3 games as part of its PlayStation Memories sale.

InFamous: Second Son has got to be more in love with Seattle than any game I've seen. Based on the trailer alone we get the Space Needle in the background and Nirvana on the soundtrack. The brief hands-off demo I saw tossed in the port town's landmark science museum. The new locale is great, but does Sucker Punch know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs?

Kaz Ayabe's name doesn't quite carry the same weight as Keiji Inafune, Goichi Suda or Yasumi Matsuno outside of Japan. But like his compatriots in Level 5's Guild series, the sequence of short 3DS games to which Ayabe's Attack of the Friday Monsters belongs, he's a strong, singular voice, and one that's responsible for one of the most delightful offshoots in Japanese gaming over the last decade.

Nvidia has revealed its first working prototype for Project Logan, the next-gen mobile graphics core that scales down its existing PC "Kepler" architecture for smartphones and tablets. Talking bullishly about a potential 5x increase over the iPad 4's GPU power, Nvidia reckons that the raw graphical capabilities of the new hardware exceeds both the RSX chip in the PlayStation 3 and its own 8800 GTX graphics card.

Slapping the word "Returns" on the end of a sequel often seems a little redundant. In the case of Shadowrun, however, it's perfectly appropriate. For fans who waited over 10 years for a follow-up to the classic 16-bit cyberpunk RPG, only to be given a multiplayer first-person shooter in 2007, the implication is not just that Shadowrun is back, but that it's back as it was meant to be.

Jeff pointed out last year that Broforce is the game the Expendables tie-in should have been, and he's got a point. It's actually what the Expendables itself should have been also: a steroid-smeared snapshot of 80s action heroes in their prime, pumped up full of beef and self-righteousness as they sear through the scenery.
