[Editor's note: This post contains spoilers for The Last of Us. Ones about the ending, specifically.]

A bevy of indie developers have spoken out regarding their sales figures on the recently released Android console Ouya. Sales figures run the gamut and tend to be on the small side, but most developers seemed to have set their sights low and were reasonably pleased with the results.

American McGee's Kickstarter to acquire the film right to Alice in Wonderland has caught the attention of veteran film director Tsui Hark, who has agreed to join the Shanghai-based developer's effort in making this dream movie a reality.

UPDATE: As reported below, Xbox One will record the last five minutes of your gameplay. But there's been confusion around exactly how long PlayStation 4 will do the same.

Delayed Saints Row: The Third DLC pack Enter the Dominatrix will be released for Saints Row 4 this October.

The Halo series is surprisingly well-suited for life as a twin-stick shooter. After all, part of the fun of the Spartan existence is knowing that you'll be tackling overwhelming odds - and that you'll be encouraged to ad lib and rely on the occasional moment of dumb luck as you manage the hordes surrounding you. It's hardly a shock, then, that Halo: Spartan Assault turns out to be an entertaining, if fairly throwaway, top-down blaster. Grunts flock and scatter, Elites hang back before charging and, while those famous jumping skills are MIA, most of your other supersoldier abilities have made the transition from first-person shooters intact.

It may be called Dynasty Warriors 8, but as Tony Coles remarked in our review, the latest instalment in Tecmo Koei's series of beat-'em-up games is actually something like the 478th to combine the historical fantasy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with running around a field volleying horses and charging up an attack meter.

A new Assassin's Creed comic series will offer hints at the future of the franchise beyond this year's pirate-themed entry, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

"I've got a confession..."

Ending is a nightmare, and the nightmare details a group of bone-white toilet plungers who want to kill you. Toilet plungers and a range of bleached euphoniums. And plumbers' L-bends. And a bunch of other things I can't even begin to name. Whatever: they're all after your blood.

Though better known as a vendor for graphics cards, MSI has some noteworthy experience in the realm of notebook design too, showing no hesitation in stepping on Alienware's turf at the higher-end of the gaming laptop market. With the roll-out of Intel's fourth generation of Core CPUs, it has decided that now's the time to unveil its very first 14-inch GE40 laptop, and also bring the revised Haswell architecture to its 15.6-inch GE60. As both come equipped with Nvidia dedicated GPUs as well, we're looking at an unprecedented spec-list here, and one which poses serious questions regarding heat and power intake. MSI promises to offset this by using its new Cooler Boost 2.0 technology, and by suiting each with sizeable batteries - but is this really enough?

I can't blame it on the sunshine (and I'm certainly not going to be casting any accusations towards the moonlight or the boogie either), as handheld gaming's really come into its own these past few months, and it's done so in the face of early adversity. When Nintendo's 3DS launched in 2011, it did so at a time when entering an iPad-saturated market seemed like a suicidal folly. When Sony's Vita launched later that year it was a more foolish proposition still, its concept of triple-A games shrunk down to fit in your pocket working against so very much common sense.

Nobody ever sets out to make a bad game. It's easy to forget that. IO Interactive recently laid off half of its staff, following a series of releases in this console generation that - simply put - didn't deliver commercially or critically. The main culprits? A pair of stone-cold killers - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

Hello Eurogamers, thank heavens you made it to safety. Any longer outside in this pan-European heatwave and you would probably have melted into a gloopy human puddle. Far better to stay indoors and watch videos about video games. Videos we can, entirely coincidentally, provide for you.

Six releases of one game from eight studios, all within a month. Credit must be given where it's due, Ubisoft is certainly keeping its arms wide open to owners of every format with the launch of its stealthy swashbuckler, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. To our count we have versions on PC, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 all etched in for a busy November - a similar case for Watch Dogs' debut that same month. It's a cross-gen project on a scale we've rarely seen before, though surprisingly, principle development only started at Ubisoft Montreal around mid-2011. For such a grand effort this hasn't been much time at all, meaning satellite studios in Kiev, Montpelier, Sofia, Singapore, and Quebec have been tasked with aiding the design of the single-player mode, while offices in Bucharest and Annecy take charge of its multiplayer portions.

An enhanced version of Soul Calibur 2 will be heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 this autumn with Soul Calibur 2 HD Online.

Wasteland 2 was expected out this October, but developer inXile Entertainment announced in a Kickstarter update that it's a bit behind schedule.

A couple of months ago multimedia company Fuel Entertainment announced that it would be making a documentary about excavating the legendary E.T. cartridges that were allegedly buried in a New Mexico desert in September of 83. It's a fascinating project, to be sure, as it revisits one of the industry's most catastrophic moments. To find out more about this project, I spoke to Fuel's director of communications Nick Iannitti.
