"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.

Come on, you knew we'd have both! We're very happy today to finally let you know that Xbox One will be playable at the Eurogamer Expo this year.

First-person horror Outlast uses careful audio cues to announce when the angry, mutilated denizens of the asylum you're investigating spot you pootling around in their vicinity - but it took me about two hours to realise that. That's because, 15 minutes into the game, I'd alt-tabbed three times to calm down before deciding the best course of action was to set up a Spotify playlist of the most cheerful music I could think of and run it at half volume as I played. Let me tell you that being grabbed by a seven foot mass of horror-muscle intent on pulling your head from your neck is scientifically less scary when set against the Vengaboys' seminal 'Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!'

2K Drive has launched worldwide on the App Store.

Surprise! Activision just released a new iOS Call of Duty game on the App Store.

So farewell then, Ultima. The title of developer Mythic and publisher EA's new entry in the series, an iOS-exclusive, free-to-play MMORPG-lite, is Ultima Forever. These words you can visualise chiselled on a gravestone. Make no mistake; this game has the surface of a vibrant fantasy, but it is a grasping and shallow product.

Tucked away in the middle of PAX Prime's Indie Megabooth there's a monitor covered in fake blood with a camera above it seemingly looking at viewers. On the monitor a series of disturbing horror vignettes plays before being interrupted by an 80s-looking Cronenberg-esque eye icon called Camdrome.
