We're really pleased to announce that this year's sell-out Eurogamer Expo was attended by more than 20,000 visitors over three days.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light has practically nothing to do with Final Fantasy. Certainly not modern Final Fantasy, in any case. This is nothing new for Square-Enix – you don't have to peer far back into the mists of time to find similar examples – and it's also no bad thing. For many, Final Fantasy has become emblematic of a genre still struggling to find its place in the modern world. Putting the name to a game that's not what you'd expect from it might help to redress that image.

Square Enix "wants" to do "something" that will allow players to "further understand" the Final Fantasy XIII story – and it could be a sequel.

PlatinumGames has offered the strongest indication yet that Bayonetta fans will get the sequel they crave.

Bethesda's announced the required specs for the PC version of post-apocalyptic role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas.

PC gamers today have the opportunity to try out the multiplayer portion of controversial shooter Medal of Honor for free with an open beta.

There are no surprises at the top of the UK All-Formats Top 40 this week as EA Sports' FIFA 11 storms to the summit.

Katamari creator Keita Takahashi has started up a new company with his wife.

History is boring, which is why Creative Assembly has told Eurogamer it's crucial to spruce it up for Shogun 2: Total War.

In 2000, Creative Assembly sent tremors through the strategy genre with Shogun: Total War. A Civilization-style game with Red Alert-style live battles? Impossible! But it wasn't. What it turned out to be was the start of a consistently brilliant march through history, controlling the armies of the Romans, the medieval kings and queens, and even Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington.

The Witcher 2 developer CD Projekt has bigged up its new engine, TSOOD, showcased new action elements and a streamlined dialogue system for its role-playing sequel – but reassured fans that non-linear story is still the biggest deal.

3D games don't crumble under immense CPU hunger: that's "bollocks", MotorStorm maker Matt Southern has said.

CD Projekt scriptwriter Jan Bartkowicz reckons that role-playing games like Dragon Age and The Witcher 2 don't compete with each other, because fans of the genre are more likely to buy everything they can get their hands on than fans of action or sports games would be.

Ninja Theory boss Tameem Antoniades has told Eurogamer that the studio's new Devil May Cry project would not stop it embarking on a second Enslaved instalment if the opportunity arose.

Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades will be presenting Enslaved to the Eurogamer Expo 2010 audience on Sunday, 3rd October at 1pm, and for Antoniades his task is a challenging one: convince buyers to take a risk on a new IP at the busiest time of year. Thankfully, he's got quality on his side, not to mention Andy Serkis and Alex Garland: top-tier Hollywood talent that helped build Enslaved from bottom to top. What's more, he's got an exciting session planned where he'll offer a rare glimpse behind the scenes at footage that would otherwise be condemned to the vaults.

The developer behind stereoscopic 3D-enabled racer MotorStorm: Apocalypse has insisted gamers who own a flashy 3DTV will not benefit from an unfair advantage.

The best thing about the Windows Phone 7 – due out in the UK before Christmas – is Xbox Live integration, Microsoft has said.

MotorStorm: Apocalypse is the latest in the PlayStation 3-exclusive series from Evolution Studios, a developer that's just finished showing off its sparkly racer at Eurogamer Expo 2010.

Unlike all the others, this Eurogamer Expo Session interview was not conducted before the corresponding developer session at Eurogamer Expo 2010. This is because Killzone 3 producer Steven Ter Heide is a busy man (he's probably on a plane somewhere fancy right now, being busy).
