This isn't paradise. Most Wanted's host city of Fairhaven is a gritty, aggressively urban location; industrial parks stretch out into docklands and construction sites, while the city centre is a chaos of scaffolding and concrete. Criterion's second run at the Need for Speed brand may evoke the much-loved Burnout Paradise with its open-world setting, but this is a game that's kept grounded by its licences, and one that feels almost po-faced by comparison.

A Wii U version of Splinter Cell: Blacklist is being advertised by GameStop in Ireland. Publisher Ubisoft has yet to announce the game for Nintendo's console.

I love Buddha Finger, and I think you will too, but honesty compels me to add that it provides a dangerous tutorial for any real-world fights. Lady Shotgun's iOS debut will leave you worryingly exposed on the mean streets of any non-virtual metropolis, and may lead to the foolish belief that even the nastiest gang of thugs can be dispatched with a few taps and swipes. Through a clever use of sound effects and very simple visual feedback, it will convince you that your hand is a lethal weapon. Chances are that your hand is not a lethal weapon, however. Chances are your hand is just a useful grabby thing attached to the end of your arm.

First of all, I want to apologise to Eurogamer's readers for not saying anything else about why I edited Rab Florence's column last week until now. There are a bunch of reasons why I've not said anything. One is that removing paragraphs from Rab's column is the most depressing thing I've had to do in five years of editing the site and I still haven't gotten over it. Another is that the emotion of the moment was much too raw for useful analysis and introspection. And the last reason is that I hoped the column still spoke for itself.

Hell, by Painkiller's estimation, is other people running endlessly towards you. Mad axe-monks, skeletal WW1 soldiers in gas masks, children splayed in two by shotgun blasts and men eternally trapped in their duvet covers come laundry day: all desperate for a meet and greet with hero Daniel Garner's whirring blade.

Update: Brenda Romero offered us the following statement. "I am not even thinking about the wedding or the honeymoon right now. It's not material. I just want to find jobs for these people. That's what matters most to me."

Steam is ringing in the holiday season with a Halloween sale. As with most Steam specials, it's pretty insane with several good titles over half off.

IGF 2013 entry Atum is a game that lets you be in two places at once... sort of. The idea is that you're locked into a first-person perspective where you're sitting at a computer playing a 2D platformer.

In one of the ballsiest marketing stunts in recent memory Devolver Digital is giving away 100 XBLA codes for Serious Sam: BFE on XBLA to those who voice their concerns about the current climate of military shooters as part of its "Warfighter-fighter" program.

Persona 4 Golden - the Vita version of turn-based RPG/high school sim Persona 4 - is coming to Europe this spring, publisher NIS America has announced.

Lars Speedwagon's Shove Pro by indie studio Rad Dragon may be a simple iOS game about shoving people, but that hasn't stopped it from having one of the funniest game trailers I've seen in a good while.

Artorias of the Abyss - the downloadable Dark Souls expansion that's also included in the new Prepare to Die edition of the game - is a two-pronged proposition. It's a pitchfork that digs deeper into the two most fertile areas of the core Dark Souls experience: the beautiful, decaying environments that chronicle the extent of Lordran's curse, and the game's potent competitive multiplayer. As developer From Software's first add-on for the series, it also ranks as a curious example of how a new adventure can be woven into an already tightly-knit world without making it feel too out of place.

A follow-up to widely praised GameCube horror title Eternal Darkness was in development at Too Human studio Silicon Knights alongside the mediocre X-Men: Destiny, a new report suggests.
