This week we have seen what happens when our trust is stretched beyond breaking point. I've been pondering that, same as you, but I've spent the rest of my time playing a game from a company where trust is everything.

70 points. Seventy! I grip my iPad mini as if clutching a rare and precious artefact, my heart just about ready to punch through my ribcage. I'm elated, relieved - perhaps even a little proud. But a nagging question remains: am I actually enjoying myself?

Fresh footage from Ubisoft's intriguing sci-fi open world Watch Dogs has shone new light on how its online gameplay will work.

Buy the next-generation version of Battlefield 4 and you'll get the "full Battlefield experience", developer DICE has told Eurogamer.

Game & Wario creates an odd first impression, but it all starts to make more sense when you take its star out of the picture. If rumours are correct, Wario was surgically spliced into this arrangement of GamePad exercises later on in the development process than you might have expected; even if he was there from the start, the graft hasn't quite worked.

Ubisoft has announced a season of DLC for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag which will star protagonist Edward Kenway's first mate, Adewale.

Microsoft's stunning U-turn on its controversial Xbox One policies has delighted gamers and retailers - but are developers and publishers just as happy?

Fez developer Phil Fish has yet to announce which platforms he'll release the recently announced Fez 2 on, but has stated that it won't be on Xbox.

Last month Nvidia announced that Shield, its Android-based handheld device that can stream PC games, would launch at $349. People complained that that was too high for something that looks like a five inch screen stuck to a third-party Xbox controller, so Nvidia has officially dropped the price down to $299 one week prior to its North American launch on 27th June.

Update: All of the £100 new-style Xbox 360s have sold out at GAME's new Xbox shop at the Shoreditch Boxpark in London, we've just confirmed. Thank you those of you who tweeted to tell us.

When I was an infant, my parents lived in a flat above a GPs' office called The New Surgery. Upon returning to my home town nearly 30 years later, I discovered it was still The New Surgery. We sometimes joke about Nintendo's use of the name "New" in connection with Mario Bros. games in the 21st century, but apparently its detachment from reality has nothing on Buckinghamshire PCT.

Microsoft has improved the accuracy of Kinect for Xbox One, and will bundle the device with the next-generation console, but that doesn't mean we'll see motion control in every game.

It's some time past midnight in Hell's Kitchen. The streets are dark and the air is clammy. Somewhere down a forgotten side street, the mutant, lightning-wielding crime-fighter Storm stands in wait for her colleague. The minutes tick by until, finally, he strides into view. He's the Thing, a towering man with skin like rock.

Drew Karpyshyn, ex-BioWare developer and lead writer of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, has revealed in detail how his original idea for the trilogy's ending could have played out.

Microsoft is sticking with the Xbox One's requirement that Kinect be plugged in despite ditching its controversial DRM policies.

Controversial zombie MMO The War Z has changed its name to Infestation: Survivor Stories following a trademark issue.

I remember waking up on the day Microsoft unveiled its original set of Xbox One policies, reading through them on my phone and being desperately sad. When I wrote about them that morning, I chose a headline that reflected the kind of sombre dejection I was feeling: Microsoft kills game ownership and expects us to smile.

UPDATE: Microsoft has confirmed it will change its Xbox One DRM policy and no longer require a 24 hour online check-in for offline games.

At E3 last week, in a behind closed doors presentation called Xbox 101, Microsoft engineering manager Jeff Henshaw - not a member of the PR team, he points out - tells a small gathering of journalists that Xbox One's 300,000 server cloud gives the next-generation console a unique advantage.

Bennett Foddy's created and mastered a special type of awkward physics game with the likes of GIRP, QWOP and Poleriders, and now one-man indie team Stegersaurus has decided to take that formula to a strange, possibly brilliant new place. Mount Your Friends is an odd little game currently on Steam Greenlight that's all about clumsily climbing towers of naked men.

There are three games we expect Ubisoft is making but has yet to reveal: a new Prince of Persia, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Far Cry 4.

Update: NIS has been in touch to say that that spring 2014 date applies to the US as well.

If Hotline Miami is like the electric throbbing nighttime cruise that opens Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, then Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will be the melancholy, silhouetted knife fight montage that closes it. The first game from eccentric Swedish developer Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin at Dennaton Games was an exploration of neon rage whereas Wrong Number will be fuelled by an extra layer of sadness.

A veritable mountain of information about Legacy of Kain game Dead Sun, cancelled by Square Enix allegedly last year, was dug up and posted on NeoGAF by an incredibly determined digger known as Mama Robotnik.

Update: 2K has clarified to Eurogamer that the first lump of Bureau DLC is in fact a timed, 30-day, Xbox 360 exclusive, so it will also head to PC and PS3.

FIFA, with its card-trading expansion FIFA Ultimate Team, has suffered more than most games when it comes to compromised player accounts.

UPDATE: Joe Danger on Steam will include Team Fortress 2 characters and Minecraft environments, developer Hello Games has announced.

Focus Home Interactive isn't Valve, and neither for that matter is Frogwares, but that hasn't stopped the pair making a puzzle action game following in the footsteps of Portal. And why should it? Magrunner's an interesting spin on what's become a well-worn genre, throwing in some knowingly cheesy sci-fi dialogue and sprinkling in some Lovecraftian lore that helps distinguish the sterile setting.

The launch of pocket-sized Android gaming console GameStick has been pushed back another month to mid-August in order to accommodate Kickstarter backers who pledged $300 or more to have their say on the device's UI. It took a bit longer to get the UI review units out to them so their feedback hasn't come in yet.
