NetherRealm has offered us a good look at Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath gameplay, including new DLC character RoboCop.

AMD's third-generation Ryzen processors have been something of a revelation in the PC hardware space, offering a winning blend of price and performance for content creation and gaming alike - but these chips haven't been available at all price points. While AMD added to its high-end options with the release of the 3950X, builders of budget systems have had to either stump up $200 for the mid-range Ryzen 5 3600 or accept the compromises of an older first or second-gen Ryzen CPU. That changes today with the release of the $100/£95 Ryzen 3 3100 and $120/£115 Ryzen 3 3300X.

When I think back about what makes a great video game, I tend to think of places before anything else. Halo's ringworld, Zelda's Hyrule, WoW's Azeroth - and to that list you can surely add Xenoblade Chronicles' Gaur Plain. It's a sci-fi marvel of impossible geology that crabs across the sky, curving stone bridges that arc over broad lakes and green hillocks that curve across the horizon. It's as breathtaking a sight as you'll find in any other video game.

Depending on whether you're a Mirage or Pathfinder main, this is either the best or worst day of your Apex Legends career, as the season five patch has brought a raft of changes to the game's meta.

Only a few months remain until Ghost of Tsushima makes its debut in July, so to get players in the mood, Sony is giving players an extended look at the game in its latest PlayStation Nintendo Direct, sorry, State of Play broadcast this week.

Time was we'd whine like a V6 hybrid that Codemasters' official F1 game would come too late into the season that it simulated, so I guess we should be pleased that this year it's going to have the honour of coming out before this year's championship has even begun - if it happens at all, that is. Given current events, it's remarkable that Codemasters is on target to get F1 2020 out in a couple of months time on July 10th - coinciding, if things go to plan, with the belated start of the season in Austria on July 5th - and it looks like another solid entry it's what fast become one of my favourite racing game series.

Infinity Ward's latest salvo in the battle against Call of Duty: Warzone PC cheaters is two-step authentication.

Leaves crackle under foot, and beams of light stream down from the canopy above as we amble towards another one of his favourite spots. Mud squelches and sighs, birdsong ribbons with the breeze, (Titanium) white clouds glance off the creek. We veer off track, and weave our way through the brush. Crouching, he comes to a halt in front of some bramble and I pull up beside him.

Developer Triband's acclaimed, and almost entirely ridiculous, golfing oddity What the Golf is heading to Switch next Thursday, 21st May.

Beleaguered battle royale game The Culling has risen from the dead once more - despite apparently being canned for good last March - this time sporting a monetisation model that will require users to pay for the matches they want to play.

Amazon has released a few gameplay videos for Crucible that together give us a decent idea of how Amazon's first big, internally-developed video game works.

We're yet to see exactly what the PlayStation 5 is going to look like, but here's something we'll definitely see a lot while playing it. Sony has revealed some new branding for its first-party games, and it even has a fancy animation.

The next Tetris 99 tournament will unlock an Animal Crossing: New Horizons skin.

I don't know if you followed the strange story of Leonardo's Salvator Mundi a while back, but the short version, as told in Ben Lewis' book The Last Leonardo, is pretty simple. The art business might be classy and filled with elegance and learning, but a subsection of it is incredibly dodgy. Big ticket paintings are amongst the most valuable things on planet Earth, and thus wonky paintings get smoothed out into something sellable, inconvenient facts get forgotten, and before you know it a painting that once sold for under 100 pounds is suddenly valued in the hundreds of millions - and then it disappears, owner unknown, location only guessed at.

We've already seen plenty of teases for upcoming legend Loba, but now we know exactly what she's capable of, as Respawn has detailed how her abilities will work. And with another snazzy trailer to boot.

A trailer for new Cyberpunk 2077 fan film Phoenix Program is dazzling the internet - and has impressed developer CD Projekt Red.

If you ask me what it is that made Sega's games really sing when they were in their 90s pomp, I'd settle on just one thing. It's the swagger, that cocky self-assuredness backed up with an impeccable sense of style. Any doubt that Streets of Rage began life as a Final Fight clone is soon erased if you look at the similarity between the two leading men, but could Cody Travers ever match the sheer attitude of Axel Stone as he piled through neon-slicked streets full of hoodlums in step to Yuzo Koshiro's searing techno beats?

Doctor Who: The Edge of Time VR developer Maze Theory has announced plans for a follow-up game, this time bound for non-virtual reality platforms.

Three-and-a-half years after it came out, Civilization 6 is getting a new season pass.

We're still yet to see proper Assassin's Creed Valhalla gameplay, but there's already word on the game's season pass via Ubisoft's German store listing.

Ray traced cyberpunk ninjas - four words that sum up Ghostrunner, a new Unreal Engine 4-powered speed running assassination game that melds the kind of 3D traversal we saw in Mirror's Edge with an aesthetic heavily inspired by Blade Runner. It's all night time, glass, metal and rain - the perfect scenario to get the most out of hardware accelerated ray tracing - and the perfect setting to look into the RT features delivered by the Epic middleware. First impressions? It's very promising, but also in its early days, with lots of tuning and optimisation required.

Thimbleweed Park, the point and click adventure game from Monkey Island's Ron Gilbert, has a sequel. Sort of.

The official Mafia account has woken up after almost two years of silence and tweeted a single word: "Family."
