Having launched its own PC games store back in 2018, perhaps it was inevitable that Fortnite developer Epic Games would next move into full-on publishing - and it seems that time is now.

It's not often that a new title arrives that genuinely moves gaming forward - but that's exactly what Half-Life: Alyx delivers, showcasing virtual reality in ways that have never been attempted before, backed up by top-class design and brilliant production values. Some might say it's the first true triple-A experience for the VR medium but that should come as no surprise: as a franchise, Half-Life has always focused on breaking barriers. From the original game and its cinematic, continuous world to Half-Life 2 and its focus on physical interaction, this is a series that is synonymous with innovation and that takes on a new dimension - literally - in this new adventure.

Surprise! Nintendo has dropped what it has called a "mini" Nintendo Direct today, which you can now watch below in full.

It's a little sad to think we could all have been setting off for EGX Rezzed tomorrow. It's the chillest gaming show in the calendar, and wouldn't the airy venue at Tobacco Dock be perfect in this weather?

UPDATE 26/3/20: Nintendo has rushed out a small update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons which "fixes a serious bug affecting game balance".

Bleeding Edge poses a question I hadn't considered before: what if the combat from Devil May Cry met Overwatch? A modestly-sized development team at Ninja Theory, spearheaded by DmC Devil May Cry combat designer Rahni Tucker, has worked for the past four years to come up with an answer. The result is a mixed bag. Bleeding Edge is, fundamentally, a fun experience, but it is a tad bland. And this launch on Xbox One and PC feels bare-bones, to put it lightly.

Ubisoft's much-maligned online tactical shooter Ghost Recon Breakpoint is free to try this weekend on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, giving curious players the chance to put the game's significant "Immersive Mode" overhaul through its paces.

Avalanche Studios, the developer behind Just Cause and moody robo-shooter Generation Zero, has teased its mysterious new project by way of an atmospheric, if brisk, new video.

Drat. Yet another ugly carpet from that smug-looking camel. Within only a few days of playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I'd noticed I was already accumulating vast amounts of unwanted stuff, be it from balloons or suspicious travelling merchants. And as that unwanted stuff gathered dust while stored away in my house, I was also having problems finding items I actually wanted. In the early game, at least, New Horizons puts limits on what you can buy on your island on any one day, with most permanent stores run by the Nook family racket. The only way around this is to negotiate trades with friends, a painstakingly slow process I attempted on our Animal Crossing Whatsapp group.

Emergency services in the US city of North Bend, Washington have recieved an enormous donation of respirator face masks from an unlikely source - Nintendo.

Valve has released its first update to Half-Life: Alyx and among the bug fixes and changes is a big improvement for the way the VR game handles movement.

There's no stopping Animal Crossing: New Horizons, our new home and hangout in these troubling times. Earlier this week, we reported on its huge opening sales here in the UK. Now, the sales picture is in from Japan and it's a similar story.

Who let the sea-dogs out? From knockabout pirate sim Sea of Thieves to pretty much every Assassin's Creed since 2012, life on the ocean wave has never been more accessible, even if voyaging across azure-blue oceans usually involves little more than holding down a button to sally forth, reducing the complex elemental interplay of tide and sail into something a little more manageable. But these foam-flecked games still evoke something of that salty, swashbuckling spirit of romance and adventure.

"The one that's most fresh in my mind is George's wish."

Ghost Recon Breakpoint's previously teased Splinter Cell crossover, Deep State, is out today on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and Ubisoft has offered up new details (plus a first proper trailer) for the benefit of those curious to know more.
