If I'm going into space - if I really have to - I'm going alone, and I want to be fairly knocked about by the wonders up there from start to finish. I'm after a certain kind of wonder - something lonely, sparse, long forgotten. The kind of wonder you turn over in your head again and again when you're back on Earth. The kind of thing that stays with you because it refuses to fully resolve and tidy itself away.

Watching speedrunners strut their stuff in Summer Games Done Quick always makes for entertaining viewing, and this year's event looks like another banger. There's GeoGuessr runs, blindfolded Super Mario 64, and even a Destiny 2 Deep Stone Crypt raid. And as usual, it's all for a good cause.

I'm a trained violinist, not that I've scraped the old strings properly for well over a decade now. Gave that up when I got a job at B&Q and bought myself a PC and Dark Age of Camelot, whoops. But learning violin instilled in me a kind of fervour for rigorous repetition. I would play passages of music over and over, memorising sets of finger patterns until they added up to a whole piece. I would drill and drill and want to smash the violin to pieces, but mostly I would prevail, and the eventual performance felt good.

There's a scene in Die Hard 4.0 where John McClane propels a car into the air and brings down an enemy helicopter. I remember sitting in the cinema, watching this ridiculousness unfold and hearing audible groans from the audience.

Sony promised us more PC conversions of their stellar first party development output and while Horizon Zero Dawn illustrated that this is far from a simple process, Days Gone is on another level. The upgrades are strategically chosen but effective - and performance is solid on both Nvidia and AMD hardware. In fact, there are one or two touches here and there included in this game that really hope to see other developers bring to their own titles, especially when it comes to configurability. While we're not getting the ultimate package here - there's no ray tracing and disappointingly, no DLSS - there's no doubt that this is a solid, impressive port.

Activision has released a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone that shows off Rambo in action.

Last year Electronic Arts swooped in to buy British developer Codemasters for hefty $1.2bn (£851m), and we're now starting to hear further details about what the publisher plans to do with its new acquisition. In an interview with MCV, EA CEO Andrew Wilson explained that EA wants to give Codemasters the Respawn treatment: in other words, allowing Codemasters to retain its identity without too much outside interference.

"For us it's pretty simple: The Lord of the Rings didn't make people fed up with fantasy; they wanted more of it." Arcade Berg, creative director on The Ascent, makes a good point. The Ascent (announced today as coming July 29th to the Xboxes, PC and Game Pass) is a cyberpunk game, all towering industrial dystopia, body augments and neon street signs, and we've had a few of those recently, but like most games it is more than its genre, and even in the wake of Cyberpunk 2077's noisy implosion the appetite for that genre is probably as strong as it's ever been, anyway.

The wonderful SnowRunner has today launched on Steam, Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch alongside Season 4: New Frontiers - and we've got confirmation of a second year of post-launch support.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition has only been released a few days, but already there are dozens of mods to customise its experience.

Early plans for Beyond Good & Evil were for it to feature multiple worlds - a vision its vapourware sequel was finally supposed to realise. But Beyond Good & Evil is all the more brilliant, I think, because of a sole focus on saving its singular planet: the beautiful, fragile Hillys.

A classic cheese to infinitely boost your Paragon or Renegade score in the original Mass Effect remains intact in its new Legendary Edition remaster.

This page previously hosted an article, originally posted in June 2018, by a freelance contributor about mapping various elements of Jerusalem society to factions in World of Warcraft. Though well-intentioned, the article was strongly criticised for a lack of sensitivity to the wider situation in Israel, Paelsetine and the Middle East. We quickly came to agree with that criticism and consider it a failing of our editorial processes here at Eurogamer.

BioWare has changed a Mass Effect character's race from human to turian - fixing a long-standing issue many (correctly) assumed was a bug.
