Often, the first question for any Warhammer 40K game is simply, "Is it Warhammer 40K enough?" This is one of those franchises where the brand itself becomes the thing some fans want to play: it must be grim, it must be dark, it must have sufficient gore, and must have both recognisable nods and oblique references that adhere strictly to our "Core Brand Values". Also, I suppose, there should be a video game in there somewhere.

I'm not ashamed to say this: one of the easiest ways to make me excited about a game is still to chuck the word "super" into the title. This is Nintendo's fault, inevitably. Super Mario Bros, sure. But then when the Super Famicom came around, they threw Super into almost every game that came out. It remains the easiest upgrade pitch of all time, and the most intoxicating. Why do I need to buy these games again? Because now they're super.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's October release date is inching ever closer, with Activision growing looser-lipped by the day. Which brings us to the company's latest reveal: a first look at Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, courtesy of a two-and-a-half-minute cinematic trailer, ahead of a full gameplay breakdown this Thursday, 8th August.

Between its animated adaptations and video game collaborations - which so far includes the likes of Dead Cells and V Rising - Konami's legendary Castlevania series is alive and well and shows no signs of stopping (although an actual new game would also be nice, Konami). And up next is Dead by Daylight's previously announced Castlevania chapter, which is now confirmed to be launching on 27th August, with a public test build arriving today.

A little over a year after confirming a last-gen release for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was in the works, EA has announced the action-adventure sequel will be launching for Xbox One and PS4 on 17th September. Additionally, improvements to the much-maligned PC version are coming.

Developer RageSquid has unveiled Descenders Next, an extreme-sports-focused sort-of-sequel to 2018's acclaimed downhill biking hit Descenders, which is aiming to be "the only extreme sports game you'll ever need" when it comes to Steam and Game Pass sometime in 2025.

The less said about gaming on the new wave of ARM-based Windows laptops, the better. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite has severe driver issues resulting in generally poor performance and while the PRISM CPU translation layer allowing x86 code to run on ARM looks impressive, no support for AVX instructions means many games won't even load. Let's be generous and say that gaming support on 'Windows on ARM' hardware is a work-in-progress - but there's an element I feel is well worth examining. Microsoft's Auto Super Resolution upscaling technology has its limitations, but it works.

There's now a release date for A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, the upcoming video game tie-in to the Emily Blunt-starring post-apocalyptic horror movie franchise.

Here's a chance to win a decidedly different piece of gaming gear - one designed not for you, but for your cat.

Sony's Playstation VR2 PC Adapter is set to go on sale from tomorrow but, before you go rushing off to buy one straight away, in my experience, getting the PS VR2 working on PC isn't nearly as easy as it should be.

Microsoft has announced its next lineup of titles headed to Xbox Game Pass over the first half of August, and it's headlined by Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy.

If you know your Cat Quest, probably all I need tell you about Cat Quest 3 is that it's more of the same, only this time with pirates. Which is to say, it's a treat. But if you've not yet played developer TheGentlebros' pun-obsessed series of super-casual, ultra-streamlined open-world action RPGs, I guess I have some explaining to do.

Bean-based battle royale Fall Guys now exists within Fortnite, with fresh courses built by developer Mediatonic.

Fans of Konami's original Silent Hill 2 have been sceptical of Bloober Team's forthcoming remake, but its CEO Piotr Babieno has called for fans to trust the studio.

Inflexion Games, the studio behind gaslamp fantasy survival game Nightingale, is "not satisfied with where the game is at".

I'm not sure how funny Buster Keaton movies are these days - I assume there are moments that still work as pure gags. But these films of his remain wonderful, because Keaton was kind of the Tom Cruise of his age - or rather Cruise, who namechecks Keaton often in interviews - is the closest thing we have to the original. Keaton's gags were almost always stunts, dangerous, brilliant, clearly visual stunts that moved the action forward while giving audiences something to gasp at. There's nothing on the surface to make me think of the World of Goo games, and yet I think of Keaton constantly when I play.

Sales of Square Enix games have dropped compared to last year, despite the high profile release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
