That's Microsoft and Sony out of the way, then, and in immediate hindsight it's tempting to say that they opted for the same approach overall. Both conferences were relatively conservative affairs compared to the pageantry and showboating of previous years (apparently you don't know what you've got with a space poncho until it's gone), as both companies presumably played the strongest hand they could muster while keeping a lot in reserve for the inevitable unveiling of next-generation consoles in 2013. However, upon closer inspection there were a number of stark contrasts.

Doptrix is Tetris inverted. It's a brain-blendingly ingenious puzzler in which you can't rotate the pieces, but you can rotate the board. Spin it clockwise or anti-clockwise, flip it head over heels or side-to-side: re-position the playing area as much as you want, in fact, and then fire your tetromino onto it. Done. The basic rules keep in step with Alexei Pajitnov's world-beating masterpiece - construct unbroken lines in order to clear them - but everything else about Doptrix is weird and disorientating. Familiarity has never felt so unfamiliar.

Inversion makes no attempts to hide what it is. It's as pure a product of video game maths as you're likely to get - and the maths, it has to be said, doesn't look too bad on paper. This is Gears of War + Half-Life 2: the cover shooting, art style and feel of the former, plus the gravity gun and playful physics of the latter.

Guillaume de Fondaumière looks nervous. He even sounds a bit nervous. The tall, easygoing Frenchman who heads up Paris' Quantic Dream studio is uncharacteristically stumbling over his words. His phone rings twice as he tries to address the room in a Santa Monica office block, eerily deserted on this Sunday afternoon. He fumbles with it, earning a tart comment from his partner in crime David Cage, writer-director of Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit.

God of War: Ascension launches on PlayStation 3 on 12th March 2013, Sony has announced.
