With unlockables that come boasting titles like The Box and The Chest, The Basement Collection is pretty aptly named, really. In principle, Team Meat co-founder Edmund McMillen's latest is a collection of the Flash games he put together when he was learning his craft. In actuality, it's a chance to rummage around through his old files and crates and notepads, checking out everything from design sketches that look like op art and playable prototypes that feel a little like doodles, to a selection of actual doodles and crayon drawings he did as a kid.

Update: According to a statement to Kotaku, Ace Attorney 5 is coming to Europe and the US.

One of the biggest revolutions for console gamers over the last decade has been the ability to connect to millions of other players online, where the standard of play has risen quite sharply since the days of playing split-screen with some friends. The itch to gain an edge in games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - to pick a random FPS name out of a hat - is a compulsion that can lead down several paths. For some, choosing a third party MLG-branded gamepad appears to be the sure-fire ticket to success, while others might see splashing out on a HDTVs known for its minimal latency as a more sensible bet. However, it seems one of the more popular ways to "up your game" in recent years is to take to the world of surround sound headsets.

I used to present a BBC show about video games. There were three series in total, with the last series this ridiculous sprawling thing with two TV specials and about 18 online episodes. It was hard work, often fun work, and barely anybody watched any of it. We existed in a time before the iPlayer, and the show went out on BBC Scotland in a late night slot. We were commissioned by a guy at BBC Scotland called Ewan Angus, and I remember his sole pointer being "I don't want to understand a word of it." There are very few heroes on the broadcast side of television, but Ewan Angus is often one of them. It was a brave commission, and I haven't seen anything like it since.

The developer sessions schedule for this year's Eurogamer Expo continues to take shape.
