It's been a year since Grasshopper Manufacture's rock star founder Suda 51 was doing the rounds for Lollipop Chainsaw, a game whose tongue was stuck so firmly in its cheek it was in danger of poking through the other side. There was something absent there, though - a part of me wished that Suda was building a Japanese version of The Warriors (or even something that more closely resembled Koko Dai Panikku, the violent '70s Japanese high school outcast film Lollipop was inspired by) instead - and the end result fell well short of its outlandish potential. Lollipop Chainsaw lacked a certain something - it was missing a little of the style that's made Suda's name.

What better way for DayZ creator Dean Hall to unwind than with a brisk march up Earth's highest mountain, Mount Everest.

There's a theory that what makes something truly beautiful is a single, noticeable imperfection. Fire Emblem: Awakening bears this out. It is an inspired revision of a classic design, and one that is riven right through the middle with a problem the series can't solve. When your defining feature is permanent death, but when all that really means is a restart, should the game's structure change or turn a blind eye?

Indie darling Fez has sold more than 200,000 copies since its release on Xbox Live Arcade a year ago.

The developer of retro platformer Pid has announced its new game.

Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations might not have been the best in the long-running series, but it's certainly the best there's been for some time.

I am not what you would call co-ordinated - the very idea of doing two things at once makes me cross-eyed. And yet with Finger Hoola I have discovered a love of confusing myself to soothing background music. It's an odd game that hits all sorts of familiar receptors, yet doesn't do a single familiar thing.

Controversial zombie game The War Z was taken offline for half-a-day at the start of the month because security was breached by hackers.

Bohemia showed its support for Nvidia's new Android portable Project Shield - which looks like a control pad with a flip-top display - by developing a spin-off ArmA Tactics game for it.

This is the story of King of Dragon Pass, an uplifting tale of a man you probably wouldn't notice who bet big on an obscure game a long time ago - and lost. It's uplifting because he got a second chance, a bit like when Lieutenant John Spartan got a second chance in Demolition Man to catch the villain Simon Phoenix after having been cryogenically frozen in time.

Deep inside Ted Terranova's head, he is scattering pins across a vast map of the world. "I was so excited that people in Japan and Singapore, in England, France and Germany, all over the planet, they'd all ordered these toys." he says. "It was just amazing that somewhere in all these countries there was one of my toys sitting on somebody's shelf. That blows me away." He pauses. Over Skype, I swear I can hear a creak as he leans back in his chair, taking it all in. "I'm just this dude that made these things. I don't want to sound corny, but it's really touching that someone sees value in the stuff I'm doing - when I'm just doing it mostly for myself because I think it's cool. The fact that other people think it's cool - cool enough to, like, buy into it? That's the biggest compliment."
