Everyone has been through events in their life that they would prefer to forget. But what if you actually could forget them? Or give them to someone else? Or even change your recollection of what happened so that you no longer had to live with the pain, guilt or bitterness that you were left with as a result?

Side-scrolling 2D sandbox adventure Terraria is heading to mobile platforms this summer, publisher 505 Games has announced.

It's been two and a half years since Fable 3 and in that time we've had a couple of series spin-offs, like the Kinect-based Fable: The Journey and the co-op beat-'em-up Fable: Heroes, but the next numbered entry in the prime series has remained elusive. While a formal announcement is yet to be made, it's suggested that it won't be long now as series developer Lionhead has launched a new forum dedicated to the franchise.

Mortal Kombat's famous demon evil ninja thing Scorpion is the next downloadable character in Injustice: Gods Among Us.

With all the high-profile Kickstarter-funded video games in development, it's hard to keep track of the latest new moves.

One of the most exciting games of this console generation is almost upon us. The Last of Us - available to buy in a couple of weeks - is the final PlayStation 3 title from Naughty Dog, a last hurrah for the current-gen Sony hardware before the team moves on to the cutting-edge PS4. You can play a sampler of the new game now, provided you own God of War: Ascension, which includes a download link for the demo.

Just in case you thought a team at DICE was secretly working on a new Battlefield: Bad Company game - it's not.

A former developer at Human Head Studios has attacked what he described as the "lie" that the troubled Prey 2 was only ever "just a demo".

Namco Bandai Europe has confirmed to Eurogamer this morning that Dark Souls 2 will be released in March 2014. No more specific day-and-date detail was available.

Insomniac's new multiplatform shooter Fuse has failed to ignite the charts during its opening week - it arrived in a disappointing 37th place.

Microsoft has registered domains for something called Halo: Spartan Assault.

Intel is facing its biggest challenge in years. Despite dominating the processor market for desktop PCs and laptops, the emergence of the smartphone and tablet has seemingly caught the company by surprise, with only its Atom offerings to keep it in the game. What the firm needs is for its unbeatable Core technology to scale down to tablets and more energy-efficient laptops in order to head off the challenge from ARM. Its new architecture, dubbed "Haswell", is the first step on the journey to making that happen.

This is a retrospective in the truest sense. I've switched on Final Fantasy 7 since its re-release on PSN a few years ago, but never played past the opening section of Midgar - an opening that, at the time of first playing, I thought was the game itself. The PS3 doesn't take PS1 memory cards, of course, so I can't resurrect my Avalanche crew, every single one at max level, while the treasured materia and weapon collection remains out of reach - nevermind my thoroughbred chocobos. Some games you can only play once.

Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan ushered in a new era of single-chip GPU performance - the ultimate example of the power and performance of the firm's wildly successful "Kepler" architecture. But that level of pure GPU grunt came at a cost - a vast one. Titan retailed at £850 in the UK and $1000 in North America. Nvidia had defined a new "luxury" price point for its most capable graphics card, but the price vs. performance maths just didn't work out - Titan was twice the cost of the GTX 680 for just a 50 per cent boost in frame-rates.

Welcome to another week's worth of highlights from Outside Xbox. The video site that says "Hey, Xbox fans, we don't count as television because we're on YouTube, right?"

Did you know that the new Xbox One operating system is so in love with multi-tasking that it will allow you to glue a pair of apps together on the dashboard so they always launch simultaneously? So, let's say that every time you want to play FIFA 14 you also want to phone your mum. Now you can!

Last we checked, Metro: Last Light topped the UK charts, but it was a hollow victory as its UK retail sales didn't even match those of its much less publicised predecessor. That only tells a small part of the story, however, as both digital and US retail sales were significantly higher.

Giana Sisters:Twisted Dreams developer Black Forest Games has announced its latest game, Ravensdale, an up to four player co-op focused side-scrolling platform shooter set in a "medieval oil rig city" that's "full of furious orcs armed with motor guns, rocket-propelled goblins and oodles of over-the-top craziness."

A pair of new Japanese Killer is Dead videos have emerged via Famitsu's Youtube channel, depicting one of the game's bosses and the sure to be controversial "gigolo mode."

Legend has it that Atari's 1982 E.T. game was so astoundingly bad that allegedly millions of copies of it were buried in a landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico during September, 1983. Only now, on the 30th anniversary of the burial, it's being dug back up.

Last November I wrote about indie developer Jonas Kærlev's gorgeous cel-shaded platformer, A Hat in Time, and now the stylish adventure has its own Kickstarter that's more than doubled its modest $30,000 goal in two days.
