Capcom UK has cancelled its Resident Evil Revelations blood pool PR stunt following yesterday's Woolwich attack.

Turn-based iOS game Warhammer Quest launches on Thursday 30th May, developer Rodeo Games has told Eurogamer.

One of the biggest surprises - if not the only surprise - of Microsoft's Xbox One announcement was the revelation that Halo is being adapted into a TV show by none other than Steven Spielberg. As big name endorsements go, they don't come much bigger - even if any excitement must be tempered by the fact that Spielberg's sci-fi TV ventures tend to be a lot less illustrious than his movies. Falling Skies is a hit, but did anyone stick around to see how his critically panned Terra Nova series ended? And does anyone even remember his UFO saga, Taken?

Far Cry 3 has received a new level editor based on assets from its amazing 80's-themed standalone DLC, Blood Dragon.

The company behind Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headset for 3D games, has hired Valve's former Team Fortress 2 VR specialist.

Microsoft has registered domains for Kinect One and Kinect Fitness.

SimCity update 4.0 launches today and it adds a host of new features and fixes - but it doesn't extend the city size or add an offline mode.

I don't think it's any exaggeration to say the most exciting thing at Tuesdays's Xbox One reveal was the Call of Duty dog.

A three-person team lead by ex-Skyrim animator Alex Fundora is working on a multiplayer survival game about hunting dinosaurs entitled The Stomping Land.

Remedy creative director Sam Lake has addressed fan reaction to the Alan Wake series not continuing in lieu of this Quantum Break thingamajig.

In contrast to Sony with its PlayStation Store, Nintendo with its eShop and Valve with Steam, Microsoft won't let independent developers self-publish on Xbox One.

Deep Silver has announced Metro: Last Light DLC.

Last night Sony announced the PlayStation 4 and the world looked on. We were introduced to Sony's next decade of gaming and perhaps the last traditional console upgrade it will ever produce. Did Sony get it right?

As a core gamer, it's difficult not to be frustrated by the manner of yesterday's Xbox reveal. Microsoft set out to champion its innovative platform, its vision for multimedia and a renewed focus on making Kinect relevant again as a convincing alternative to the traditional remote. But we wanted to know about the new generation of gaming and the approach in revealing Xbox One titles via trailers with no single identifiable example of actual live gameplay was an enormous error in judgement. The problem is that next-gen trailers look no different to current-gen trailers - so there was no groundbreaking innovation, no authenticity and therefore no buzz. Even the promising Call of Duty: Ghosts reveal - perhaps the closest thing we had to actual gameplay - was in-engine footage apparently running on Xbox One hardware. Yet there were no assurances that this was actually real-time, or that this would be the actual quality of the game we will be playing in November.

EA Sports' next-gen engine is called Ignite. It's not magic but the extra grunt of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One means Ignite can do new things.

As expected (again), Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for PC has been announced.

As expected, Crytek's Ryse is an Xbox One game.

"Simple, instant and complete."

UPDATE: EA has contacted Eurogamer to say the UK release date for Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC is 1st November 2013.

FIFA 14 on PS4 and Xbox One uses the fancy new Ignite Engine - but the PC version doesn't, EA has confirmed.

Update #2: Tom Bramwell, our man on the ground at Microsoft HQ, has published his hands-on impressions of Xbox One.

A Microsoft executive has suggested Rare is making an Xbox One game based on its "historic IP".

Update #3: Our man on the ground at Microsoft HQ, Tom Bramwell, got his hands on the new Xbox One controller and console last night. He was particularly impressed by the new rumble motors in the pad's triggers.

Remember that joke about two GameCubes taped together? Well, to me Xbox One looks like a giant Wii. Sure, it's got more cooling vents than a Deus Ex game (who can blame them after last time?) and size and appointment is more like an expensive amplifier from a mid-80s hi-fi than anything Nintendo's ever made, but that diagonal cut-off at the base of the front bezel gives it a similar profile.

Following the unveiling of Xbox One at Microsoft's base in Redmond earlier today, I sat down with Microsoft's corporate-vice-president-of-something-to-do-with-games Phil Harrison to talk Xbox One.

Final update: Forget everything you have ever known and heard: Phil Harrison invited us back to the boardroom to explain how all of this stuff works once and for all.

Legendary director Steven Spielberg will act as executive producer of a "premium TV series" based on the Halo franchise.

Update #2: With all that power is it any surprise that Xbox One enables friends lists of up to 1000? "1000 friends is indeed confirmed," wrote the verified Xbox Support Twitter account, spotted by Polygon.

UPDATE 2: Quantum Break appears to blend a live action TV show with a video game, with actions in one affecting the other. Microsoft's Xbox One press release calls it "a revolutionary entertainment experience... that blurs the line between gaming and TV by integrating drama and gameplay into one seamless, uniquely immersive experience. How you play the game impacts the show, and the show informs how you play the game." Defiance, anyone?

The Xbox One will not feature any form of backwards compatibility for games.
