Mario & Luigi developer AlphaDream might have closed down, but it seems Nintendo isn't giving up on the franchise just yet.

Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition will feature a new "style change" system.

The Elite 2 is the best controller Microsoft have ever made, a triumph of engineering that sets a new standard for premium-grade gamepads on any platform. The new gen-two design includes more features, deeper customisation and clever creature comforts that make the Elite 2 a pleasure to use. Here's why we love it - even though it's not for everyone.

Yes, the seminal Silent Hill received an upgrade, of sorts, when Silent Hill: Shattered Memories debuted on the Wii in 2009, but the 20-year-old game is one of few instalments of the psychological horror series that arguably hasn't aged well. Until now, that is.

From now until the end of the month, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward is donating all proceeds from its Outback Pack DLC to the Australian wildfire crisis.

Forget the loot box controversy, my biggest disappointment when it came to Star Wars Battlefront 2 was the lack of a dedicated VR mode. After the excellent, but rather brief Rogue One: VR Mission was included in the PS4 version of Star Wars Battlefront, I was fully expecting a bigger and better VR campaign in the sequel.

Next-gen before their time? There's an elite selection of technologically advanced titles that appear towards the tail-end of any given generation, where developers are upping their game, experimenting with the kinds of techniques we'll see in the era to come - and it's typically on PC where we tend to get these nascent next-gen experiences. CD Projekt RED's The Witcher 2 - released in May 2011 - is one such release, a game that required a radical process of re-architecting before arriving on Xbox 360 almost a year later. But what made The Witcher 2 so special, how did it push PC hardware and can even today's mainstream graphics tech handle the game's legendary ubersampling?

Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the most-anticipated video game in the world right now - and so it seems only right it should have a PSone demake already.

First-party Xbox Series X games won't be exclusive to the console for a while, Microsoft has said.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will get 3v3 Gunfight, additional loadouts and a raft of bug and exploit fixes, developer Infinity Ward has said.

Monster Hunter World's Iceborne expansion finally - finally - launched on PC yesterday, four months after its console debut. And while its highly anticipated arrival is certainly reason to celebrate, not all PC players are in a jubilant mood, with many reporting a range of issues with the newly released PC version - the most worrying being that existing game saves are, in some cases, no longer recognised after Iceborne's installation.

Sundered, developer Thunder Lotus' wonderful (and gorgeously animated) Lovecraft-inspired Metroidvania, is currently free to download on the Epic Store.

For some reason I'm rapidly accruing a collection of dumb stories about my time in multiplayer games - and seeing as the Rust murder tale went down so well, I thought I'd recount another. This time it's about my brief foray into the world of Fallout 76 virtual gunrunning, which has since escalated into a detailed look at the life of the traders making serious bank from selling Fallout 76 items. I don't know how I ended up here.

Five of the Best is a weekly series about the bits of games we overlook, those poor old things. I'm talking about crowds, potions, mountains, hands - things we barely notice at the time but can recall years later because they're so important to the overall memory of the game.

Pokémon's animated film for 2020 is named Coco (yes, like the Pixar film) and features a vine-swinging jungle kid who is Pokémon's version of Tarzan.

We've had spawns raining men, tactical insertion teleports and players flying around the unreleased battle royale map - but now another glitch has gained prominence in the Modern Warfare community... albeit for all the wrong reasons. This time it's a more traditional online multiplayer problem: wall glitchers, who appear to be plaguing certain corners of Modern Warfare's maps.

Smartphone sensation Pokémon Go rounded out 2019 with another $894m (£684m) in the bank - the game's most profitable annual total ever. We knew it was on track to do this a few months back, following a particularly plentiful summer period.
