Sony's early-morning (UK time) Tokyo Game Conference kicked off with the abrupt announcement of the heavily rumoured PS3 super duper slim.

This is the fifth week Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hasn't shown up on the PlayStation Store.

We're now just eight days away from the start of this year's Eurogamer Expo and tickets have very nearly sold out. There's still a little time to get your hands on one at www.eurogamerexpo.com though, and if you still need convincing then perhaps Sony's line-up will tip you over the edge.

Funny thing about expectations: they can blind you both ways. After claims that Guild Wars 2 would shake up the stagnant genre of massively multiplayer online games, many were surprised, and a little disappointed, to find that it looked and played just like an MMO.

Console launches can be tense affairs, can't they? First there's the worry about getting home from a midnight opening without being mugged by the bigger kids.

I'm not sure whether it's just a peculiarity of my social circle, but on the off-chance that other people will react the way many of my friends have upon being told I'm playing a new game called "The Room", I feel compelled to begin by noting that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Tommy Wiseau's extraordinary indie film of the same name. Lisa will not be tearing you apart. This is probably a good thing. (And if you have no idea what I'm on about, that probably is too.)

Just yesterday I was busy telling you how PES 2013 is a triumphant return to form and feels like a much more finished game than its immediate predecessors. But while that may be true for matters on the pitch, Konami still feels it has some work to do off it, and so is preparing a series of free DLC packs that add new online features and update licensed content and player data.

With the door closed on founding fathers Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, whose departure BioWare announced last night, the company has moved quickly to confirm a number of future projects in production.

When the Washington-based Turn 10 makes Forza games, it does so with a European accent. It's a slightly forced one at times, but there's still an understatement and refinement to the Forza Motorsport series that belies the game's American roots.

Turn 10 and Playground's forthcoming open world racer Forza Horizon will be receiving monthly DLC updates, and it'll be getting a full expansion pack on 18th December.

This s*** just got realer! Realer? More real. Corporeal. Manifest. Substantial. Etc. Yes, we're very pleased to reveal that at this year's Eurogamer Expo we will have Treyarch presenting a Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 developer session at 3pm on Friday 28th September.

Wake up, everyone! With PES 2013, Konami has finally pulled off the excellent game it's been threatening to release for the last couple of years. On the scale of dramatic football comebacks it's not quite up there with That Night in Barcelona (© Clive Tyldesley) or The Miracle of Istanbul, but it surely comes close.

Obsidian Entertainment was "floored" by the response to the Project Eternity Kickstarter funding drive, Tim Cain told me. The goal of $1.1 million was surpassed in one weekend, and the total now stands at over $1.55 million.
