Oh and I so wanted Sony to try and charge $599/£425 for PlayStation 4 like it did with PlayStation 3 at launch.

Crysis 2 was a controversial release; Crytek's renowned 'maximum game' ethos was put on hold in favour of targeting multiple platforms, much to the annoyance of the PC hardcore. It took the release of a DirectX 11 patch and a high-res art upgrade to placate the fans, but the results were more than worth it - it's still one of our 'go to' games for sheer visual spectacle. This time around, we suspect there'll be no such complaints. The focus on extreme visual quality is back in Crysis 3, with the development team building this sequel around high-end graphics cards in order to deliver a visual masterpiece worthy of the next generation of gaming hardware.

Nvidia has released footage showing off Borderlands 2 being played on its upcoming Android-based, Tegra 4-powered handheld, Project Shield.

It's the middle of the afternoon and I've already fired a rocket launcher at a police officer, used a pizza box to block a hail of bullets and killed a man with a fire extinguisher (without even turning the thing on). During a lull in the fighting there's a muffled explosion above me somewhere and as debris rains down I try to grab anything that would work as an improvised weapon. It takes me a few seconds to realise why I can't pick up the item that fell at my feet: it used to be somebody's limb. Technically, I suppose it still is their limb, but the current state of things means I'm going to struggle to reunite it with its original owner and I'm not really sure what use they can make of it now. It quickly becomes irrelevant and after canvassing my environment I decide I'd be better off taking a frying pan and finding something (someone) I can swing it at.

There's a white super duper slim PS3 on its way. Sorry, I mean Classic White.

NCSoft's pretty excited about its new sci-fi MMO, WildStar. It's so excited, in fact, that it's just revealed that the game will be launching at some point in 2013 - no idea exactly when, though.

Fast & Furious movie star Paul Walker will play the title character in a new Hitman film reboot.

The first video of DayZ Standalone has been released.

Compact and single-minded, Dungeonland is very nearly a masterclass in sharply focused game design. There are two additional things you're going to need to get the best out of this scrappy hack-and-slasher, however. The first, weirdly enough, is a decent gamepad, as Critical Studio has somehow managed to fashion a top-down action RPG that feels cumbersome and imprecise to control with a mouse and keyboard. The second is a couple of friends: you can have a relatively good time bashing faces and looting chests with the game's rudimentary AI companions, but if you plan on getting serious - if you'd like to make it to a boss, for example - you'll need some genuine humans on your team.

Dutch studio Triumph (Overlord) is bringing the Age of Wonders strategy RPG series back to life with Age of Wonders 3.

Screenshots of a new HD Mario Kart game have surfaced - not from Nintendo, but from Namco Bandai, developer of the series' arcade outings.

The first time I encountered Proteus was in the chill-out room of a hip indie party at last year's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The game, projected onto a wall, was enveloping a dozen or so lounging spectators in its warm pastel colours and tinkling dynamic soundtrack while one player wandered around a randomly generated pastoral landscape, doing nothing much.

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has cast doubt on cloud gaming - what many proclaim to be the future of the industry.

Back in 2010, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose sued Activision for $20 million because he wasn't happy about Guitar Hero 3 featuring the likeness of his former bandmate and arch nemesis Slash singing "Welcome to the Jungle."
