It's awful when you have a clown on your team, isn't it? I spent most of this morning fighting alongside two of the worst players I have ever encountered. We were at the bottom of a hill and the horde was descending. Again and again my team-mates proved unable to thin the ranks. The simplest things were beyond them. Again and again we were overwhelmed. And the worst thing? Those other two players were both me.

It's the night of the Game Awards and we've just had one of those special trailers that makes you sit up and feel rather good about things. The trailer's for a game called Season, and it was described by the awards host Geoff Keighley as a game about "exploring and recording disappearing cultures."

Many games sell themselves with their gameplay, especially if they're not part of established franchises. For video games, more like any other media, including board games, neat categorisation is intensely important - likely to allow for easier marketing. But I discover more and more games that are either very different from whatever genre corset they've been wrangled into, or on the other hand of the spectrum, games with a pitch so good I'm immediately interested even though I've got no idea what the actual experience will turn out to be. Games in both of these categories have one thing in common - they treat play as something experimental, giving us a set of actions we as players may still be unfamiliar with.

Following its not exactly unexpected reveal on Sunday, From Software's Hidetaka Miyazaki has shared more details on Elden Ring, the studio's highly anticipated collaboration with A Song of Ice and Fire author George A. A. Martin - a project described as From's "biggest title yet".

ZA/UM just announced Disco Elysium: The Final Cut at The Game Awards.

Two years after its unveiling at BlizzCon 2018 met a hostile reaction from fans, Diablo Immortal - the Diablo game that commits the terrible sins of not being Diablo 4, and being a mobile game - has broken a long, cowed silence. After that reception, Blizzard was unlikely to do anything with the game until it had something substantial to show, and so it has proved. At a Zoom briefing with the developers earlier this week, press were told that the game was entering a "very limited" public technical alpha test that has just gone live as you read this. We were also given early access to the alpha, so I've had a chance to try it out, albeit briefly.

There are few finer pleasures than getting to see someone who's really bloody good at something doing what they're really bloody good at, which probably explains the massive smile on my face after ploughing through the first act of Turtle Rock's co-op shooter Back 4 Blood. This, quite simply, is the team behind Left 4 Dead back doing what it does best, and doing it that little bit better too. It's a return to the same concept - you and three friends against seemingly endless hordes of undead - with that same exquisite balance, and that same chunky gunplay. From the blunt borrowings of the title and beyond, it's clear that Back 4 Blood isn't shy of inviting comparisons.

Anapurna Interactive has announced a starry cast for its upcoming time-loop thriller Twelve Minutes.

Since England entered into a national lockdown this week I've been contacted by many CEX staff members concerned about the chain's plans to stay operational when all non-essential businesses are supposed to close, and all employees are required to work from home where possible.

The official The Elder Scrolls Twitter account has tweeted something.

Nintendo's often gone its own way when it comes to doing its business, but as Microsoft and Sony rolled out their latest hardware at the tail-end of 2020 it felt at times as if the company had vanished entirely, a paper-thin release schedule in the all-important months leading up to Christmas making the Switch feel at times like the forgotten console.

Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan will finally get its grand opening on 4th February, many months later than planned, and it's safe to say I won't be there.

Imagine going to bed one night only to have a bulletin board fall on you while you slept. Rotten luck, isn't it? Makes you wonder why someone put it there in the first place. But now imagine you had some seriously heavy stuff pinned to that bulletin board, like bricks, and when it landed on you, it flattened you. And I mean literally.
