As of last Sunday the 2019/20 football season, pickled and zombified beyond its natural expiry, finally came to an end. Off the back of some alarmingly frantic games in the latter stages, the Champions League final promised box-to-box drama and defensive chaos, but ultimately played out exactly as all Champions League finals often do: two hours of nervy, methodical human chess, resulting in Bayern Munich's cranking mechanical stiflement of the gold-plated Paris Saint-Germain.

Following the release of some... interesting screenshots back in May, today we're finally getting a look at the first trailer for Lord of the Rings: Gollum, the upcoming title from Daedalic Entertainment. Oh, and also a little more about the design decisions behind those screenshots - including why Gollum looks like he's sporting a quarantine haircut.

Battletoads is short. Really short. Too short.

After someone managed to play their way through Minecraft and slay the Ender Dragon using a piano keyboard, I thought I'd seen it all, yet we have another entry in the instruments-as-controllers category - and it's rather spectacular.

It's safe to say I wasn't very impressed with Spider-Man: Far From Home VR when it released just over a year ago for PlayStation VR. This messy movie tie-in was very short, full of game-breaking bugs and, while it did succeed in making you feel a little bit like the wonderful web-slinger himself, the whole experience only lasted around 10 minutes (when it worked).

It's been out less than a month on PlayStation 4 and PC, but it looks like Fall Guys is already preparing to make the leap across to phones - although we may have to wait a while for a western version.

A new Fall Guys patch - entitled "Spicy Hot Fix" - is "almost ready to go".

I've had an extremely good time revisiting Halo 3, but you can have almost as good a time just reading what the people of 2007 had to say about it. Halo 3 - and this is news to me, fifteen and blissfully ignorant at the time - was apparently one of those battleground games, where lines were drawn and sides chosen in arguments about what it meant for the future of medium. In 2007, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was that future of big-budget gaming because, as one half of our enjoyably angsty retrospective put it the following summer, "it experiments with means of storytelling that are specifically about being a videogame, not a movie." Call of Duty's storytelling was interactive, you see, and Halo's action tired, its cutscenes archaically passive.

The Museum is a staple of Animal Crossing. It collects bugs, fish, and fossils, all sourced locally from players for display, and more recently, artistic works have been added. It acts as a living catalogue of your island experiences. But, as a real-world museum professional of over a decade's experience in museums big and small, I have some serious questions about the conduct of the museum's sole employee. Who exactly is Blathers, the enigmatic overlord of the island's cultural hub?

Earlier this week, Microsoft took part in the Hot Chips 2020 symposium to deliver its now traditional console silicon breakdown, this time focusing on the core make-up of the Xbox Series X 'Project Scarlett' processor and how it compares to its predecessors. Not only did we learn more about the properties of the chip, we also gained an insight into the market conditions surrounding and influencing its design. The conclusion is inescapable: cutting-edge consumer electronics can still deliver generational gains in performance - Moore's Law isn't dead - but costs are rising and these are having a fundamental influence on the way Microsoft shaped its new console.

If Iron Man VR isn't quite metal enough for you in its base state, you might want to prep your excitement nodules; it's getting a New Game+ mode - and a bunch of other addition - as part of a free update arriving on PlayStation 4 today.
