The third game in 5pb's series of interactive horror novels, Corpse Party, has been announced as Corpse Party: Blood Drive for the Vita.

Last November Skullgirls developer Lab Zero Games released a major patch to its female-themed fighter, but this mild game-changer only arrived on PSN as its large size - 590 MB - conflicted with Microsoft's update policy. Thankfully, it turns out this update is coming to XBLA after all and should be arriving in the next two weeks.

French developer Simon Mesnard's upcoming PC and Mac turn-based RPG TBT: The Black Tower seemingly hails from the golden era of early PSone RPGs when pre-rendered backdrops were the name of the game and men carried swords twice their size.

UPDATE: In addition to the Ratchet & Clank movie announced earlier today, there will be a CG-animated movie based on PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavenly Sword.

There was a concept for Bulletstorm 2, and People Can Fly founder Adrian Chmielarz believed it would have made "an amazing game".

Hours spent playing Tetris may help treat lazy eye, a new study has suggested.

The Behemoth is growing up. You're over halfway through Battleblock Theater, the indie developer's latest, before you get to see someone poo themselves to death. Considering the team's previous game, 2008's Castle Crashers, had a variety of woodland creatures suffering from varying degrees of terminal diarrhoea within the first few levels, this clearly represents a significant stride towards maturity.

What exactly is Yaiba?

Fable developer Lionhead has a new boss.

UPDATE: The Jagged Alliance: Flashback Kickstarter has launched.

Trawling the Google Play store from an Android phone can be a deflating experience. As shop fronts go, it's poorly designed, ineptly curated, and the vast majority of its game apps are late-arriving ports of iOS hits. Android might be one of the biggest potential markets for games, but Apple's App Store is where the really good stuff is found. Piracy is so rife that I can't blame developers for not bothering - but that doesn't make the situation any less disappointing.

Microsoft has announced Pizza Hut for Xbox, a new Xbox 360 app that lets you order your dinner without having to leave your games console.

There is a feeling among executives at Ubisoft that the Splinter Cell video games should be more popular.

Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8.1 update will re-introduce the iconic Start button, reports have claimed.

The Redemption is Ubisoft's finale to The Tyranny of King Washington, a three-part downloadable expansion to Assassin's Creed 3, set in an alternate-history timeline. The mini-series opened in a darker and bloodier version of the game's Frontier area but began to lose steam when the action headed back to Boston. Thankfully, the story picks up pace in this final chapter, although the eventual explanation for its parallel universe setting leaves something to be desired.

The second THQ auction has concluded with surprising results. We found out earlier today that Gearbox acquired the rights to Homeworld, but that's not the only jaw-dropping revelation. Vigil's beloved armageddon themed action/adventure series Darksiders was sold to Nordic Games, publisher of Alan Wake on PC, The Book of Unwritten Tales, and the later Painkiller titles.

Update: Italian retailer Multiplayer.com has also listed Gran Turismo 6th for a 28th November release on PS3. It even has a picture, though it's unclear if that's a real cover or simply a mock-up.

Update: Konami has finally lifted its lid on the rumoured Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection, which will be heading to North and South America in June as a PS3-exclusive.

It feels like just yesterday that Netherlands-based indie studio Vlambeer was shamelessly ripped off when its Flash game Radical Fishing was cloned by Gamenauts before it could release its own commercial iOS remake, Ridiculous Fishing. The two person team of Rami Ismail and Jan Willem Nijman have unfortunately found themselves in a similar situation again with Vlambeer's upcoming 2D dogfighting game Luftrausers already cloned by a studio called Rubiq Lab with its incredibly similar-looking SkyFar.

Psychedelic arcade tunnel-cruiser Dyad is coming to PC on 24th April, its creator Sean McGrath announced.

Back in 2008 a group of dedicated fans released an English translation patch to Mother 3, the highly acclaimed successor to Earthbound. Using the patch required first finding a ROM of the Japanese game, which is something of a legal grey area. But fans - and curious onlookers - would much prefer to play Mother 3 as it was intended - on a console, purchased from an official source.

Happy Techland day! We've already brought you word of the studio's latest release Dead Island Riptide, and it's everything you'd expect of the Polish developer. That is it's a little shabby, a little bland but with a big heart.

The original creator of Resident Evil has bemoaned the recent trend of survival horror games becoming more action-orientated.
