Once upon a time gaming required a single disc, or cartridge, or, going back further, a cassette tape, and a gamer.

There are no trains in Realm of the Mad God - well, not the kind that go along tracks anyway. Yet rarely a minute passes without some reference in the chat window that every player can see. "Train anywhere?" "Choo Choo?" "Where train pls?" And then comes the glorious moment when a soul stops to type "TRAIN HERE," and all the cool kids teleport to their location.

The iPad 2 has completely dominated the tablet market over the last year - and rightfully so. It was - and is - a superb product, addressing almost all of the flaws of the original, while super-charging the gaming potential of the iOS platform thanks to its powerful SGX543 MP2 graphics core. This time around, Apple has bet the farm on screen quality, hoping that the leap to a 'Retina' display will prove as popular for its tablet as it was for the iPhone 4.

Administrator PwC has confirmed OpCapita's purchase of GAME UK.

Dan Porter, CEO of Draw Something developer OMGPOP - recently purchased by Zynga - has spoken to Eurogamer this afternoon to clarify his controversial comments made on Twitter yesterday evening.

I've played roughly a billion games with moral meters that paint in broad black and white stokes with the occasional sloppy shade of grey, but only one has ever made me turn. See, I usually stick to the straight-and-narrow goodie-two-shoes path on my first playthrough of these things, but in Jade Empire, I just couldn't do it.

Let's be honest: there's something faintly urethral about the stuff that turns up at the bottom of the sea. Am I floating around in the balmy deeps of the Pacific, or am I, you know, busily swimming through someone's groin? It all gets rather hard to tell down there, where the fish have long tails and weird heads, and the water grows cloudy with minerals.

Comet owner OpCapita has reportedly bought GAME.

Amongst all the doom and gloom this week - GAME's administration, THQ cutting more development jobs it can't afford, SEGA cancelling titles and "streamlining" its business, Raspberry Pi's delay, rumours of Prey 2's cancellation, not refuted, the lovely Yoshinori Ono's horrible health scare, the government charging us more to drink and smoke, and the threat of more industrial action in the UK (now abated, but only because of PR gaffes, panic-buying and mass safety concerns) - it's been hard even for resilient gamers to look on the bright side.

There used to be three Game stores in Brighton - well, two Games and a Gamestation. Overkill, perhaps, particularly since you could walk between all of them in the space of five minutes. Even less than that, if you're good at dodging those street carts filled with knitted Angry Birds hats.

I've been playing this Pickford Brothers' BAFTA-nominated puzzler on and off for months now - not that you'd be able to tell by looking at my scores - but it wasn't until very recently that I realised what it reminded me of. In both its reappropriation of a classic pub game and its light-hearted, parochial charm, it's the game equivalent of '80s TV gameshow Bullseye.

PlayStation Vita delivers what many thought impossible: a current-generation HD console experience in the palm of your hand. It's an exciting achievement, made possible by the most advanced gaming architecture of any mobile device on the market today combined with what many believe to be the most varied, high-quality launch line-up we've seen for any console launch.

We know everything and nothing about Dust 514: it's a shooter, it focuses on large-scale multiplayer combat, it'll even be free and - based on our hands-on experience at this year's Eve Fanfest - it plays impressively (even more so when you consider that this is virgin territory in both game style and platform for the developer CCP). But when it launches, it will also be irrevocably intertwined with the history of gaming's most infamous sandbox, and against a backdrop of villainy, greed and controversy.

Worms Revolution, yet another iteration of the aged strategy series, launches on PC and consoles this Autumn, developer Team 17 has announced.

Peter Molyneux's departure from Microsoft and Lionhead sent shockwaves throughout the game industry. Not only had one of the most influential developers of all time ditched the company he founded in 1997, but Fable, a series guided by Molyneux's leadership over eight long years and across two generations of home console, was left without its poster boy.

The GAME and Gamestation websites are back online, following a three day outage as GAME Group entered administration.
