Eurogamer Expo, the UK's biggest and best gaming festival, is delighted to announce that it will be offering live video streams of many of this year's developer sessions on Eurogamer.net throughout the show on this very page wot you are looking at.

It's all about the journey to the police station. There's plenty after that, of course. Monsters. Mutations. The sort of ludicrous plot twists that only Capcom could get away with. But ask me to pick something that defines the Resident Evil series, and it's the opening section of Resident Evil 2 that claws its way to the top of the list. It's the series at its clumsy, infuriating, heart-pounding, nerve-wracking best.

The paid alpha gamble paid off: Introversion's made more than $100,000 from Prison Architect.

Yesterday Sony launched a new, lighter, slimmer PlayStation 3 just in time for Christmas. The PlayStation 3 super slim, or the super duper slim as Bertie called it during our live report of Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference last week, comes in two flavours in the UK: a mammoth 500GB edition (out now) and a teeny tiny 12GB edition (out 12th October). Sony doesn't set the price of its hardware in the UK (more on that later), but shops are live now with their offers (GAME has the exclusive on the PS3 500GB FIFA 13 bundle for £250).

Remember Me, the eye-catching third-person cyberpunk action adventure game from French developer Dontnod Entertainment, has 50,000 different combos.

Grid 2 is to introduce a system dubbed LiveRoutes that dynamically changes the track - meaning that lap-by-lap the corner layout on a given circuit will change.

How well has the Prison Architect paid alpha done? Did the gamble pay off - has British indie flag-waver Introversion Software hit a seam of success?

How's your Expo been so far? Three days in and there's a certain happy fatigue setting in, with a fistful of highlights already and the sense that there's still plenty left to see.

REMINDER: Our panel discussion 'Settling the Score: The Truth About Game Reviews' takes place at Eurogamer Expo today at 2.30pm. Although it's not in the main developer sessions room, you can queue for it at the same place as all the other sessions. Unfortunately Oli Welsh isn't able to make it due to illness, but EG's features editor Martin Robinson will be stepping in to represent the site.

Halo chief Frank O'Connor has explained the quick-time events some Halo fans have expressed concern about in Halo 4.

Dishonored started life with a 'hide in the shadows' stealth mechanic like Thief had. But Arkane ditched it - for a couple of reasons.

The world of open source handhelds is a strange but exciting place, dominated not by overbearing and cash-hungry manufacturers and publishers, but by the same breed of indie coders who are slowly but surely infiltrating the likes of XBLA, iOS, Android and Steam. Since the first truly 'open' consoles started to appear in the Far East at the dawn of the millennium, we've seen a long line of systems created with the ideals of freedom and experimentation very much at their core. These are platforms on which rules are made to be broken, and the only limitation is how far savvy and resourceful developers can push the host hardware.

Capcom is hosting a Resident Evil-themed art installation this weekend at the Smithfield Meat Market in East London, Neatorama has reported.

Filmmaker Werner Herzog once said "if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs." Games these days are wholly diverse visually ranging from gritty realism, to slick and cartoony, to retro abstractions, but I'm not sure I've seen anything that looks quite like free indie RPG Middens.

Naughty Bear Panic in Paradise - the sequel to 2010's crude action-adventure Naughty Bear - is dated for release on 10th October for XBLA and PSN, publisher 505 Games has announced.

With Assassin's Creed 3 nearing completion after three long years of development, we sat down with creative director Alex Hutchinson at the Eurogamer Expo to discuss what the new instalment means for the series - and what will come next.

Treyarch design director David Treyarch took to the stage at Eurogamer Expo this afternoon to discuss what it's like to be in charge of the design of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and dish the dirt on the game's new prestige system.

Turn-based RPG Rainbow Moon is expanding from a PS3 exclusive to the Vita sometime next year, publisher eastasiasoft has announced.

Assassin's Creed 3's DLC will contain a wacky extra slice of narrative best described as a "what the f***" side-story, the developer has revealed.

If there's one thing a beta never lacks, it's disclaimers. Everything's subject to change! This is not indicative of the finished product! Everyone plays along, rightly acknowledging that there is the scope for big changes, but we know that this is fundamentally it: in Heart of the Swarm's case, the next iteration of Starcraft 2 multiplayer nestling comfortably into your PC. Things will change, but more will stay the same.

How do you get a job in the game industry? According to Valve, all you have to do is give yourself one.

The Football Manager 2013 release date has been set: 2nd November. But you can play two weeks earlier if you pre-order the game.

Sega's just announced that the original Rome: Total War will be sold for £1 on Steam this weekend. The Total War: Master Collection, which contains seven TW games, will be just £26.23.

It's Halo. I don't know why I was so surprised by that, but Halo 4 feels very much like another Halo game. There's the spongy movement, that wonderful combat loop and a sense of pomp and scale so grand you can't help but be carried away in its ridiculous sweep. There are shrill aliens, both squat and tall, and gunfire that sends multi-coloured traces across strange landscapes.

The negative response of some fans to Splinter Cell: Blacklist has simply been a "kneejerk reaction" based on selected "vertical slices" of the game, the game's director has told Eurogamer.

"Technical challenges" are holding up the OnLive iPad app, the company has told Eurogamer.

Hitman: Absolution developer IO Interactive has said that, while standard multiplayer deathmatch modes were "always tempting", such offerings must always feel appropriate to the game in question.

The Eurogamer Expo may be better known for the bigger games on the show floor and the star-packed developer sessions, but one of my favourite aspects is always the Indie Games Arcade. It's where I first got to see and play stuff like Frozen Synapse and VVVVVV, and this year I helped regular curator David Hayward and the Rock, Paper, Shotgun guys decide what should go into the 2012 line-up.

Nintendo has detailed its DLC for New Super Mario Bros. 2 at its recent Japanese Nintendo Direct livestream in the Wii hours of the night.

The Vita version of cult-classic bug massacring shooter Earth Defense Force 2017 is heading to the west at an unspecified point, publisher D3 announced on Facebook.
