"Lego 2K Drive" sounds like a charity event: a two-kilometre fun run perhaps, sponsored by, or with the goal of donating, Lego. It is, in fact, a video game - an open-world racer, richly encrusted with bricks - but its mission is no less in the spirit of giving. The aim of any Lego video game, surely, is to provide us with something to do with our completed creations. In real life, the joy (or at least the contended, driven quiet) is in the building. After you have plugged it all together, and you're left with your Death Star, your Batmobile, or whatever, they wind up trophied on the shelf, to be lightly trimmed with dust. Not so in Lego 2K Drive, where life is bright, pre-assembled, and anything but still. If only it were more than the sum of its parts.

Movie star Dolph Lundgren has let slip he's set to star in a Witcher spin-off TV show.

Our game of the week is Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, a kind of wilful throwback to the glorious days of early shooters. Rick loved it - with caveats - and the whole premise has a gleeful immediacy that makes it hard to resist.

Have you ever looked at Mega Man's all blue aesthetic and thought, "yes, I like that ensemble, and I would absolutely wear it, but those boots just don't look comfortable"?

Earlier this week, Konami revealed not only the existence of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - a remake of the series' third game - but also the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: Zelda, Bloodborne, and a bit of RollerCoaster Tycoon.

We've not heard much from THQ Nordic's Alone in the Dark reboot since its surprise unveiling last year, but now the promising project is back with a 25th October release date and - for the impatient among us - a playable prologue that's available now.

Gearbox has announced a significant delay for Homeworld 3, moving the long-in-the-works real-time strategy sequel's launch out of the "first half of 2023" and into February 2024.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss Sony's PlayStation Showcase event, and offer our thoughts on everything that was shown - and not shown - last night.

Consider this your last-minute reminder that the annual Summer Games Done Quick is back this weekend, bringing another seven days of charity speedrunning action.

There's seven pages here of RTX 4060 Ti analysis and data in this review, but the more I used the card, the more I realised that this is massive overkill for a GPU where the salient points can be summed up in one paragraph. The RTX 4060 Ti is essentially a hybrid RTX 3060 Ti/RTX 3070 with the added bonus of DLSS 3, a good media block and extra efficiency, but beyond that it's a missed opportunity and a disappointment. There are some positive points to highlight, but they're crushed by the sense that Nvidia isn't delivering good value to the sector of the market that most demands it.

The brilliant PowerWash Simulator has had Tomb Raider DLC. It's had Final Fantasy DLC. It's even getting SpongeBob DLC this summer.

The annual Warhammer Skulls showcase is done and dusted, and like a psychic blast from the Emperor himself into the minds of his devoted citizens across the Imperium, Eurogamer here delivers all the announcements, reveals and trailers straight into your eyeballs.

Space Marine 2 has a new video that shows snippets of gameplay and offers a better look at the Tyranids.

If all this bright blue sky and golden sunshine is getting you down, why not retreat into the murky brown post-apocalypse, courtesy of developer Obsidian Entertainment's acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas, which is currently free on the Epic Games Store?

2023 is apparently the 40th anniversary of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, and in most countries the company has launched a campaign giving away nugs for free in order to celebrate.

UPDATE 16/6/23: Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is now available a week earlier than previously planned, Amazon has said. We've updated the listing below.

The greatest achievement in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is Gollum himself. He's a beautifully realised thing. His stance is a nervous, weight-shifting crouch. His run is a giddy, loping scamper. His movements seem shaped by his own poor experience of the world, forever flinching from expected blows. And that head, on top of that short, sinewy body, it's huge and filled with craftiness and sly wit. The large wet eyes shift constantly, looking for an opportunity, any opportunity. The mouth is a pinched snarl. Gollum, hidden in the dark, swimming in sewage, rattling through a blazing blood-coloured mine, looks like Linus van Pelt on the single worst day of his life. This is not a dig - it's exactly how Gollum should look.

At yesterday's PlayStation Showcase, the long-rumoured (and leaked) Metal Gear Solid 3 remake was revealed.

Blizzard has explained why it took the decision not to extend the Diablo 4 campaign story with its post-launch seasons.

Chaos. There's no other word for it. Some huge dude's stomping around, just waiting for an excuse to fly into a rage if you move so much as an inch, and the teammate who just walked up to me turns out not to be a teammate at all but is instead – inexplicably – their maniacal evil twin who plunges a knife into my guts. I try to run – even though I already know that running never, ever works out for me here – grabbing the film reel as I do so, only there's a nun mannequin doing something so incredibly un-nunly in the middle of the table that I stop to gawp. She's not… look, I know the Outlast games aren't known for their subtlety, but she's not doing what I think she is, is she? But then the evil twin of my teammate knifes me again and I stumble to the floor.

Revenant Hill is the next game from Night in the Woods co-creators Bethany Hockenberry and Scott Benson, and the first project from their new studio The Glory Society.

Last night's PlayStation Showcase brought us plenty of teasers for upcoming games - even if many of them were CGI. Among them was the briefest of announcements for Concord, the debut game from FireWalk Studios.

An official reveal of The Talos Principle 2 was one of the many announcements during last night's PlayStation Showcase.

There were plenty of announcements during Sony's Playstation Showcase last night, but the one that stood out most to me was Phantom Blade Zero. This quickfire action RPG looks brilliant and oh so slick. It blends Chinese martial arts and punk together, to create a new direction its developer has dubbed "Kungfupunk".
