I spent a few idle hours this week reading A Month in the Country, J.L. Carr's wonderful - and wonderfully short - novel of a Great War veteran who spends the summer of 1920 uncovering an artwork on the wall of a village church.

After a slight delay, PSVR2 launch title The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is finally here, but just how scary is this horror-themed rollercoaster ride?

If you have ever burned out on a video game, you know what it's like. Suddenly, you're exhausted any time the game you once loved shows up in your Steam library. Any time someone talks about it in your earshot, you're filled with this pervasive cynicism that won't quit. Nothing about the game is good, everything is bad, and nobody can convince you otherwise - even if you were its biggest fan mere months ago.

Actor Lance Reddick - star of John Wick, The Wire, and Destiny - has died, aged 60.

The biggest game this week is undoubtedly Resident Evil 4, a remake/remaster of a classic that's been thrilling fans of video games ever since that Edge cover which, to my memory at least, was so gnarly it had to be hidden inside a plastic bag. Am I wrong? Is my mind playing tricks? Possibly - and doesn't that suit Resident Evil perfectly, and this magical game in particular?

The main game isn't even out yet, but the demo for Resident Evil 4 remake has a whole load of mods available on PC.
