Last week, I started playing Dishonored. I fell in love with it. All that talk of the game being short was, as ever, internet exagger-annoyo-mania. I spent about five hours doing the first proper mission. Just hiding under tables and sneaking around houses, watching people. I loved how you could take a lot of different paths to your objectives. I loved how you could just crawl about on a roof, unseen, and then appear behind an enemy in the blink of an eye.

This year at the Eurogamer Expo we decided to depart from our usual "Ask Eurogamer" panel session and do one focused on game reviews. As our panel host Ellie Gibson noted during her introduction, this is because everyone just asks us about reviews anyway.

Update: Spears! Source code reveller Mardoxx has uncovered evidence of spears in the Dragonborn DLC. What next - whips?!

Unleashed on the computing world earlier this month, AMD's latest Virgo platform resumes the grand overhaul to its desktop PC architecture, having started the revolution with Llano last year. In short, it takes the potent Trinity APU we covered in laptop form in July and leverages it into a full-blown desktop environment, where the extra power and superior cooling systems allow for much higher clock speeds. Gaming performance is inevitably improved, but for a matching price, can an AMD machine truly hold a candle to a PC built on Intel's popular Ivy Bridge chipset?

Arriving with a visually distinctive oil-painted aesthetic, Dishonored is one of 2012's biggest surprises. From the off, we're geared up with unearthly skills and weaponry, allowing us the freedom to carve our own way through each mission - be it by slowing down time, possessing wildlife to gain intel or even teleporting across higher-ground routes.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut supports the PlayStation Move controller, director Swery has revealed.

"I'm a lucky guy because I achieved a lot in my work when I was young," says Jon Hare. He's not lying. He founded Sensible Software at 20-years-old and made games such as Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder, but his past now presents him a problem: he's a reputation to uphold. Hare hasn't made an original game for 17 years, but now he's nearly ready to release one. Has he still got what it takes? "It's got to be f***ing good," he says of his new game, "because I don't want it to f*** my name up as a designer."

In 1963 Coca-Cola introduced a diet version of their ubiquitous fizzy drink to the American public for the first time. Despite fears that it would cannibalise Coke's existing marketshare, 'Tab' (later usurped in 1982 by its successor, Diet Coke) was a roaring success for the company, succeeding both by capitalising on a new, health-conscious consumer-base and appealing to existing Coke drinkers eager to try something different.

And so there are these aliens and to you've got to stop them and you have loads of different guns but then they've got like Snakemen and psychics and you have to build a base and you shoot down UFOs with jets and there are missiles and lasers and radars and scientists making stuff then you get flying suits and hover tanks and you can mind control things and you build your own UFOs and there are zombies and you go to Mars and you fight a big eyeball and there's this remote-control missile launcher and you carry dead aliens in your backpack and…

Back at the dawn of the HD gaming era, options were limited when it came to recording high-definition video from your consoles: you'd need to spend hundreds - if not thousands - of pounds on high-end broadcast-quality equipment, followed by an equal level of investment in a PC powerful enough to run it. Hauppauge's 2009 vintage HD PVR had some serious image quality issues, but it was the first mainstream device to offer 720p and 480p capture functionality, and thanks to its onboard h.264 encoder, it could produce results with virtually any PC that had a USB2 port. Three years on and, in the face of stiff competition, Hauppauge has released a successor.

I can't remember when it was that I first heard about Dota, but I can, weirdly enough, remember where I was. I was in the kitchen of an indie developer that I was visiting for a preview article - the kind of place where everyone had lunch together - and someone on staff was talking about this niche ultra-hardcore Warcraft mod they liked. Dota.

A modern reboot of a classic strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown faithfully references the series' trademark gameplay while successfully refining the formula to reach a wider audience, and does so without sacrificing the high level of depth expected by fans. This latest instalment obviously boasts an updated graphical aesthetic built using the Unreal Engine 3, which increasingly lends its hand to a variety of genres beyond the first- and third-person shooters it is commonly known for.
