The entirely open Android console Ouya is shipping its development consoles on 28th December to those who pledged over $700 on its Kickstarter.

Update: When asked why Dragonborn would be coming out on all formats when the previous DLCs still hadn't made it on PS3, Bethesda responded, “We think Dragonborn is our best add-on for Skyrim yet, and we didn't want fans to wait long, so that's our current focus. Each platform takes a lot of time and attention.”

A successor to Planescape: Torment is happening. No it's not Project Eternity, no it's not Chris Avellone; it's Colin McComb (Planescape: Torment second in command) and inXile (Wasteland 2). And it has the blessing of Chris Avellone, the lead designer of PST.

Curiosity developer Peter Molyneux has clarified his earlier comments that he would only develop "one more game".

Update: The demo will be out here on Wednesday - it is confirmed by Namco Bandai.

Are you an aspiring graphic designer? Do you like video games? Are you able to overlook the slightly inappropriate joke headline and strapline above? Then you've come to the right place, because Eurogamer is hiring for a new full-time Junior Graphic Designer.

Online retail giant Amazon has pledged to replace copies of Nintendo Land it failed to ship with some Wii U Premium bundles - but only with download codes.

Skyrim add-on Dragonborn arrives tomorrow on Xbox 360 and god knows when on PC and PS3. New detail about what's inside has leaked courtesy of a Dragonborn beta tester.

There's a famous episode of The Twilight Zone called “It's a Good Life”, wherein a boy with omnipotent powers terrorises all those around him for his own amusement. Anyone or anything he doesn't like gets whisked away into an inescapable cornfield, or worse, turned into a jack-in-the-box. Scribblenauts Unlimited is a lot like that. The world may be your plaything, but getting your way all the time isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Not for the first time that month, Patrick Wildenborg was disoriented. With a one year-old baby in the house he was familiar with the fug of a deep sleep cut short by noise. But this awakening was different. It was prompted not by an infant's wail but the hysteria of a telephone ringing in the night. Eyes still closed, Wildenborg lifted the receiver.

Although the topic of retro emulation is often treated with disdain by purists who see it as unethical, the truth is that replicating an old system on your PC actually delivers a raft of significant benefits. You can overcome legacy AV standards and get a crystal-clear, pixel-perfect image on your HDTV via digital or VGA connections, or utilise save states to make those tortuous sessions of Super Star Wars all the more bearable. It's easier to tailor the experience to suit your own personal taste and you can even perform peripheral tasks such as using video capture programs to record your performance or taking screenshots.

I met up with a long-lost friend recently. "I'm gonna tear you a new one!" he shouted, almost as soon as he'd seen me in my little orange dinghy. "Suck on this!" he added.

With Wii U now sold out in many shops across the UK, Nintendo is now rushing to refill high street stores and the warehouses of online chains. It has predicted a worldwide shipment of 3.5 million consoles by the end of the year, and 5.5 million by the end of the financial year in March. But how many of these will be snapped up by shoppers?

Many of you are probably going through The Walking Dead withdrawals after wrapping up Telltale's brilliant adaptation of Robert Kirkman's zombie comic book series, but there's another Walking Dead game that's already out and it looks surprisingly good.

On a technical level, Far Cry 3 gave us some cause for concern at an early preview event in October, where we saw some nasty glitches, an abundance of full-screen tearing and even outright freezes on the 360 code we had to play with. This was all in the face of what appeared to be a broad and beautiful open-world FPS - a rare beast in the ongoing climate of the grim and grey - with an intriguing focus on territoriality and survival during a pirate take-over. The promise was there, but somewhat eclipsed by a clearly unoptimised build.

Hi Eurogamer, you're looking lovely this weekend. How's your week been? As ever, we've been playing games and making videos, so here's what we've been up to over the past seven days.

If gamers weren't defined by games, they would be defined by moaning. And the biggest moan of the last few years has been about microtransactions. I've heard people say that they're an innovation too far; that they're undermining AAA games; that they're destroying creativity; that they encourage addictive design; that the companies using them are greedy; worst of all, that they're allowing me to indulge in egregious semi-colon usage.

Mutant Mudds may not be coming to Steam anytime soon after it failed to make the recent list of games accepted onto Greenlight, but in spite of its struggle to get onto Valve's portal, developer Renegade Kid is releasing the retro platformer on both Wii U and iOS.

Valve has revealed its third batch of games to get accepted onto Steam via its Greenlight program.

Video games struggle to be taken as seriously as films or paintings or books or other pieces of culturally accepted works of art. Yeah, thanks Duke Nukem. But there are signs of change; today, New York's prestigious Museum of Modern Art announced the beginnings of a considerable video game exhibition.

Update 2: Shazzam! It's all fixed, according to Ubisoft.

War in PlanetSide 2 isn't hell, though your first experience of it probably will be. You create your character and pick a faction. Then you're unceremoniously dropped - literally, from space - right into the biggest battle the game can find, surrounded by enemies and tanks and anything else that happens to be around, with a life expectancy measured in milliseconds.

Eurogamer last night attended the Wii U's London midnight launch to ask Nintendo UK execs James Honeywell and Shelly Pearce our burning questions surrounding the console.

Barely held back by non-disclosure agreements, game developers have expressed some disappointment with the Wii U CPU architecture but have yet to go on the record with firm information on exactly why performance is apparently so lacklustre. The closest we've got so far is Tekken Tag Tournament 2 producer Katsuhiro Harada suggesting that "creative solutions" are required as the CPU clock is "kinda low". Today, a post from Wii and PS3 hacker Marcan puts a firm figure on that, precise to six decimal places no less:

Sony patented a "break apart" PS3 controller in 2008 but it never materialised; now Sony's doing similar - only this time with added bells and whistles.

You can buy officially sanctioned Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge fine art.

THQ president Jason Rubin has given $1000 of his own money to the Humble THQ Bundle.
