After leaving the games industry to direct the Wing Commander movie and produce films like The Punisher and Lucky Number Slevin, Wing Commander and Privateer creator Chris Roberts is returning to the medium that put him on the map.

UPDATE: Resident Evil developer Capcom has named the three upcoming DLC modes due to arrive first on Xbox 360.

When the PlayStation 2 made its emotional debut, I was too young and too jobless to afford one. None of my gaming friends made the leap either, so when I happened upon a used PS2 in a pawn shop just before Christmas 2000, I scraped all my funds together for the console and a copy of Tekken Tag Tournament. There wasn't even enough change left over to for a second controller, but when I saw that intro playing for the first time, I was instantly hooked.

Just released on PC and XBLIG Hermit Games' Qrth-phyl is a clever modern update on an old classic. It takes the classic arcade game Snake - wherein you zip around as an ever growing digital serpent doing its best to not accidentally run into its own tail - and updates it into a 3D game.

R&B star Rihanna has been "spotted" dressed in Hitman: Absolution branded clothing.

Electronic group Gatekeeper decided to shake things up and instead of release a music video, it released a videogame to accompany its debut album, Exo.

UPDATE: The FIFA 13 demo has just launched on Xbox Live Marketplace. You can download it now via Xbox.com.

UPDATE: Nintendo has just confirmed the Wii U Nintendo Direct via the company's official Nintendo of Europe Twitter feed, confirming the date and time below.

As you may have noticed from the way Martin writes love letters to obscure corners at Spa Francorchamps at every opportunity or the almost sexual way that Oli and I tend to describe the tactility of simulated vehicular interaction with tarmac, we like driving games at Eurogamer. We especially like Formula One.

Terry Cavanagh's a bastard. A lovable, super-talented and quite brilliant man, but a bastard nevertheless. Best known for VVVVVV, the 2010 platformer that latterly made it to Nintendo's 3DS, he's become associated with games with bite, games that present a stark challenge where it's all about beating the game or being plain beaten. Play something like VVVVVV and it's dominate or be dominated.

Not only are scorchers Tomb Raider and Hitman: Absolution going to be playable at the Eurogamer Expo 2012, they're also going to be presented on stage by their makers, as part of the jam-packed developer sessions schedule.

Imagine the entire story of Final Fantasy 7 recreated in the style of LittleBigPlanet 2. Now open your eyes - someone has done it.

It's almost time! There are now just over two weeks to go until this year's Eurogamer Expo kicks off, and I'm delighted to finally announce that Valve will be putting on a developer session as part of this year's packed schedule.

DayZ has been the break out phenomenon of PC gaming this year. What would it look like adapted as a film? Renowned YouTube fake movie trailer maker Bloodrunsclear has had a stab at finding out.

Last year, when discussing Kristan Reed's 10/10 review of Zookeeper FX Touch Edition, Oli suggested that "the next iteration is a shoo-in for our first 12". Thank goodness App of the Day doesn't require me to award a score, because I might just have had to disagree with him. Zookeeper Battle is excellent, but I'm not convinced it's worth more than an 11.

Of all the skills I pretend to be learning while gaming, resource management feels like the most credible. Organ Trail's punning title riffs on The Oregon Trail, a '70s game all about surviving a journey across the States by carefully husbanding what you have - and this iOS title transplants a similar set of mechanics into a zombie apocalypse. Hey, we're learning here.

Pants-ruining first-person horror-adventure Amnesia: The Dark Descent may have come out two years ago, but sales have shockingly increased since 21 months ago with the cumulative total coming to roughly a million units, developer Frictional Games has announced.

I really wanted to love this game. From the moment I stumbled across it by accident at Gamescom last summer, while waiting for a go on Escape Plan, I've been thrilled by the potential of Sound Shapes.

Peter Molyneux studio 22Cans has thrown open requests for Curiosity - What's inside the Cube (formerly Curiosity) beta testers, as the social experimentation app edges ever closer to release.

This, the third in Battlefield 3's conveyor belt of downloadable content, finds DICE showboating in style. If the developer were a rock star, it'd have its foot on the monitor right now, as the audience held their lighters aloft. Back to Karkand's updated fan favourite maps was the obligatory run through the classic hits from yesteryear while Close Quarters, with its blatant COD tempo, was a punchy, punky cover version thrown into the mix to shake things up. To stretch the stadium rock metaphor to breaking point, Armored Kill is the epic ten-minute blow out, all guitar and drum solos, a ballad of fire and smoke.

A live action trailer by the director of V for Vendetta, James McTeigue - that's what Guild Wars 2 needed. And so, that's what Guild Wars 2 has been given.

The Mighty Search for... The Epic Quest for Mighty... The Quest that...

Steam's Big Picture Mode - which will scale the portal's interface and controls to better suit a TV and gamepad - is set to launch later tonight according to Kotaku.

Ultima creator Richard Garriott has done a deal with Zynga to publish his new Facebook game, Ultimate Collector.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter pre-orders automatically upgrade to the game's Limited Edition which includes access to the just announced Zero Dark Thirty map pack, EA has revealed.

Another game-inspired tomahawk, only this time it's for Assassin's Creed 3 and, unlike the Medal of Honor tomahawk, couldn't cut a cucumber.

If you can, own an Elder Scrolls game on PC - partly for the performance gains, but mostly for the mods. These fix, alter and improve the games in ways Bethesda wouldn't, or is too busy to.

It was with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia that I met the first few levels of the 3DS eShop release Picross E. Bizarrely, this wasn't nostalgia for the original Mario's Picross on Game Boy, which it most closely resembles, but for those glory days of the original DS; those days when Hudson Soft and others were releasing (albeit only in Japan) a series of some of the finest, most perfectly presented puzzles ever seen in gaming form.

The Resident Evil 6 Leather Jacket Edition is now available to pre-order in Europe, priced £899.

Stealth adventure Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will include loading screens as players sneak about its open world map.
