Breaking news: it turns out if you drunkenly fire a live weapon mid-stream, you'll get yourself suspended on Twitch. Who knew?

It was only last week that Ubisoft announced a delay for Ghost Recon Breakpoint's mysterious new "immersive" mode, pushing it out of its original February release slot. As it turns out, though, it didn't get pushed very far at all, and Breakpoint's "immersive" mode will now launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on 24th March.

When The Outer Worlds first launched, it came with a problem that seems to be ever-more-frequent in modern games: absolutely tiny text. Not only did this mean everyone had to sit an inch away from their screens, but it wasn't accessible for those with visual impairments - and many critics and community members raised it as an issue.

Toy Story 2 was my first ever experience of the cinema. The imaginative young boy that I was dreamt for years afterwards of being in that world, going on adventures with a cast of characters I knew back then as friends. Woody, Buzz and Jessie - they were all there. One particular moment that has always resonated with me was the opening sequence of the film, which involves Buzz Lightyear raiding his arch-nemesis Zurg's base. It's quickly revealed that the whole episode is in fact a video game, played by a frustrated toy dinosaur called Rex, who constantly fails to complete the challenge. It was a scene I would always rewatch, rewinding the VHS tape to the point of death, and I always challenged myself to tackle that gauntlet if it ever came to fruition. Toy Story 3 finally allowed me to do that.

Warframe's first major update of 2020 is now live on PC, and it's a massive quality of life release impacting a substantial range of areas. It's intended to lay the foundations not only for the upcoming Operation Scarlet Spear, but for the year ahead too.

The Stadia launch was wobbly but Google isn't giving up on the stream-dream just yet. It's opened a second game development studio down in Playa Vista, LA, and hired former God of War studio head Shannon Studstill to run it.

Ubisoft's colourful roller skating sports game, Roller Champions, has been confirmed for console at last. It was only announced for PC at E3 last year, remember.

After a long development journey since its arrival on Kickstarter in 2015, Yes, Your Grace is finally here, smaller than previously proposed, but with its original idea intact - almost a metaphor for my own in-game kingdom after I've tried my best to be a good and just king.

Typical, isn't it? You wait half your life for a new Half-Life game, then two come along at once...

The in-demand Valve Index VR headset will be back in stock this coming Monday (9th March) but is expected to sell out on the day. It will go on sale from 5pm UTC.

Another month, another confetti shower of new games being added to Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service, with March's offerings including the previously announced Ori and the Will of the Wisps, plus Train Sim World 2020, Pikuniku, and more.

The future of E3 is in doubt after Los Angeles declared a state of emergency due to coronavirus.

I am trying to think of what game it was that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX reminds me of and honestly, I just cannot remember. Which is apt! Or we'll make it apt anyway, if you'll bear with me. It's apt because Mystery Dungeon is one of those dreamy, trancelike, somewhat transient games. A playable hypnagogia daydream: all quite pleasant while you're there but then as soon as you leave, poof! It's gone from memory.

Hey there, PlayStation Now subscriber! Are you curious to know what new streaming delights are yours for the taking this month? Then allow me to share the news that Control, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Wolfenstein 2 lead an excellent line-up of additions in March.

A previously unannounced new Star Wars title, currently going by the name Project Maverick, has leaked onto the PlayStation Store.

In just a couple of weeks, Sea of Thieves will have reached the grand old age of two; so it seems appropriate that Rare's multiplayer pirate adventure will be celebrating in style, with the arrival of its feature-packed new Heart of Fire update next Wednesday, 11th March.

Animal Crossing fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of New Horizons, and aside from drawing wholesome fanart of Isabelle and Doomguy, it seems they now have something else to pass the time, as this week a rather special event is happening.

Like a bat out of hell, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has suddenly appeared on mobile devices without any warning or heads-up from Konami. I'll take it.

PlayStation 2 is 20 years old today; 4th March 2000 is the date of its Japanese release, although it wouldn't make it to the West until the end of the year. And what a way to kick off a new millennium - with a futuristic games console and (probably) a DVD of The Matrix.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare now has the Tomogunchi watch developer Infinity Ward teased before the game came out in 2019.

Oh jeepers! Somehow the PlayStation 2 is 20 years old. That tiny skyscraper has been sitting by TVs for two decades, bringing brilliant games and a few glorious stinkers

Potentially one of the most exciting games of the year, Final Fantasy 7 Remake takes a beloved, stone-cold PS1 classic and revitalises it with the power of current generation console technology. What were once basic polygon models overlaid on pre-rendered backgrounds, interspersed with full motion video CG sequences has evolved - with full real-time rendering at a quality that far exceeds what Squaresoft could even dream of, let alone achieve back in 1997. The excitement is palpable - stoked still further by the surprise 'drop' of a demo early on Monday morning.

If Infliction was a colour, it would be beige. If it was a biscuit, it'd be the tasteless disc of a Rich Tea. If it was a band, it'd play nothing but Coldplay tracks. Sure, they all have their fans and they all technically deliver on what's promised on the tin, but let's face it: you could probably live without them, too.
