Pew pew! Not long now until the Eurogamer Expo at the end of the month, and as you may have seen over the weekend, Respawn has confirmed that Titanfall will be playable at the show, marking the first time it's been available for public hands-on in the UK.

There's one story I always tell about the first Amnesia. The most memorable monster I encountered in it was one that didn't exist. At all.

Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono took to the stage at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan's press conference this morning to unveil a new Deep Down trailer, below, as well as announce story information.

Christine Love makes games about sex and technology... sexnology games, if you will. They exist in a video game landscape that's saturated with objectified women, but rarely attempts to give women characters a voice for their own sexual desires. Her latest is Hate Plus, a follow-up to her last game Analogue: A Hate Story, both of which are about women characters' struggles to talk about their desires.

Sony has announced that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan on 22nd February 2014, several months after Europe and North America.

Back in 2007, oil prices were skyrocketing, and Americans were suffering horrendous sticker shock at the prospect of paying well over $4 a gallon for gasoline. While cheap by European standards, in a country where many use sub 15-miles-per-gallon pickups and SUVs for typically long American commutes, this was not good news. Sales of small cars and hybrids increased massively overnight, and the second-hand market for big-engined cars became completely flooded, causing prices to drop as quickly as their fuel gauges.

Out now in Europe and days away from its US launch, Killzone: Mercenary for PlayStation Vita is undoubtedly one of the most technologically impressive mobile games on the market, and the first truly worthwhile first-person shooter for Sony's portable games machine. Remember that feeling when you first played Ridge Racer on PSP? It's the feeling that you're playing a game that has no right to look this good on mobile hardware; the sensation that you're getting a full-fat console game running in the palm of your hand. Uncharted: Golden Abyss captured that feeling, and now Killzone: Mercenary makes its case as the definitive article.

I'm back in Liberty City again. It doesn't feel like five years since Grand Theft Auto 4, but while other games have been traded in or loaned out, that disc has remained beneath the TV, a passport waiting to be used.

Although Google has surpassed Apple's lead in the smartphone arena, it often finds itself lagging behind its Cupertino-based rival in other sectors. Google was almost laughably late to the tablet party, seemingly content to indulge in flaccid projects such as Motorola's expensive and underwhelming Xoom slate than to actively chase the lead established by the almost iconic iPad. However, 2012 marked the year when Google finally did what it should have done eons ago - it saw the launch of the Nexus 7, a collaboration between the search giant and Taiwanese manufacturer Asus. By offering cutting-edge technology at a price which undercut practically every tablet maker on the market, Google was able to claw back valuable market share.

Hi Eurogamers! Welcome to your lovingly curated batch of video goings-on from Outside Xbox, the only video game website that tells it like it is about dragons: they're jerks.

Dungeons and raids are usually the most exciting part of any MMO, but there's still depressingly little heroism to be had in most of them. To be fair, there's a tiny sliver of time when this isn't the case - when a new dungeon arrives in, say, World of Warcraft, and teams have to go face its bosses and other challenges without a convenient wiki on hand. Those early days can be amazing.

Howdy y'all, and welcome to this week's Letter from America, now broadcasting from its new regular slot of noon on Sunday.

The next generation may be mere weeks away, but that hasn't stopped Sony kicking out even more exclusive games for PlayStation 3 (and won't, come to think of it - Gran Turismo 6 isn't out until December). The latest is Puppeteer, a whimsical platform game in which you control a small boy imprisoned on the moon and transformed into a puppet.

Crytek has told Eurogamer it will continue to support TimeSplitters Rewind, the in-development fan remake of the classic British shooter series, as its indie team begins work on a PlayStation 4 port.

UPDATE: Rome 2's first patch has been released, Creative Assembly has announced.

A girl lies prostrate on the cobblestones. Her body is contorted in a way that implies complicated internal injuries. In these early days following Final Fantasy 14's relaunch, you often see these patient bodies: adventurers fallen in battle who, in the stiff grip of paralysis, await resuscitation. But Eorzea's emergency services are in crisis. There simply aren't enough healers around who have learned the ability to revive all the fallen yet.

Rebellion has announced Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2, due out on PC later this year and, potentially, next-generation consoles.

UPDATE: Pre-order your copy of Beyond: Two Souls at GAME and you'll get a week's early access to the game's demo.

In the middle of the sixth floor of the Washington State Convention Center is a man running in place inside a bowl-like surface with a plastic gun controller in his hands, motion sensors on his limbs and head, and an Oculus Rift VR headset strapped to his face. Above him, Gordon Freeman's gun bobs around a beach shooting giant alien ants. The man in the machine is controlling Valve's machine of a man - and this culmination of motion sensors, VR goggles and high-tech exercising equipment is touted as the closest man has ever come to the Matrix.

Microsoft's Xbox Live Rewards scheme has been relaunched with new ways to earn money back for use on Xbox 360 - including a reward for simply playing new games.

"They're rock stars and they know it. They don't come to us. We go to them," I wrote about CD Projekt after seeing their stunning press demo of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at E3 earlier this year. The Polish developer is justifiably confident in its massive, open-world RPG for PC and next-gen consoles - so much so, in fact, that it took the exact same demo to Gamescom in Germany last month.

Sometimes all it takes is one great idea. In that regard, Puppeteer, by Sony's Japan Studio, is off to a strong start. It has several great ideas. Sadly, it doesn't seem to know what to do with them.

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has commented on a series of messages posted to his Twitter account this week where he described asking for a female MGS5 character to be made "more erotic".
