The UK government has called out Microsoft's president Brad Smith for his comments on the now-blocked Activision Blizzard acquisition.

There's a lovely moment in, of all things, the movie Dreamcatcher, where, if memory serves, the main characters are trekking through the woods and all of these deer and rabbits and forest animals come charging through the trees, spooked by something. It's magical, almost fairy-tale like in all these bounding woodland critters. But it's also terrifying, because why are they running? What horror are they fleeing?

In its ongoing bid to acquire Activision Blizzard - something that saw a major set back earlier this week, after UK regulators dramatically blocked the deal - Microsoft has announced yet another 10-year commitment.

Have you ever had a song that didn't click for you until you heard a remix? For me it's the Glitch Mob remix of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. I like the original well enough, but something about that version just hits right. Feel free to blast my terrible taste in music in the comments! It's not just the slightly hammy music analogy that makes me think about Cassette Beasts as a remix.

And while I like Pokémon, I love Cassette Beasts.

Horizon Forbidden West is one of the best-looking games of this generation - in fact, it won 'best graphics' in our awards last year. With abundant foliage, beautiful lighting, and stunning environmental detail, Guerilla Games' open world sequel was seriously impressive - but the Burning Shores DLC looks poised to be even more spectacular. A reworked cloud rendering system alongside PS5 exclusivity promises graphical enhancements above and beyond the base game experience. So how does Burning Shores raise the visual bar? And does the increased fidelity come at a performance cost?

Nine more games have been added to GeForce Now's cloud gaming library, including one of my personal favourites, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard.
