Last week, Kojima Productions announced a patch for Death Stranding, scheduled for mid-December. One of the most requested features of the forthcoming patch? The ability to delete vehicles left by other players.

A genuine highlight of the Stadia review phase, Nixxes' port of Shadow of the Tomb Raider managed to deliver an impressive streaming version of the game offering virtual parity with the Xbox One X release, with full native 4K delivered in its quality mode alongside a rock-solid 60 frames per second in the default performance setting. But Shadow is just one of three Tomb Raider titles available to Stadia users and while there are some issues with Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, these are still slick, impressive conversions well worth investigation - especially as the original reboot is now free for Stadia Pro subscribers in December.

You might remember when, a few months ago, Eurogamer video stalwart Johnny Chiodini unpardonably left us to start the video arm of Dicebreaker - a new hub for all things tabletop gaming.

Geralt of Rivia and Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon AKA Ciri have arrived in Daemon X Machina on Nintendo Switch.

Sockets and gems! I love sockets and gems. So imagine my delight when, a few minutes into Darksiders: Genesis, a fresh perspective on the Hellish Zelda-alike series about monsters and demons, I clicked on a stray tab to find a whole page of sockets just waiting for gems.

Tilted is no more. The whole island Tilted ruled is no more. And this means it's interesting times for Fortnite. I've been getting used to Chapter Two's new island for a while now - I know parts of it quite well even if the overall arrangement hasn't quite clipped into place in my head - and I end up thinking about Tilted quite a bit.

Since the arrival of the Doom 2016 port for Switch, we've been continually impressed by developers' efforts to bring games designed for far more powerful hardware over to Nintendo's console hybrid. Even in the best cases, however, the sacrifices are usually plain to see: lower resolutions, lower frame-rates and a significant reduction in detail. Typical stuff but, with the right choices, the results can still look relatively good given the hardware - but what if I told you that Feral Interactive's Switch port of Alien Isolation is actually better than the PS4 and Xbox One versions?

The training dummies in Apex Legends' firing range have had enough of being used as target practice.

Google has announced it'll bring a Stadia pop-up to London.

There's nothing like gazing over a vista of your upcoming place of death. Multiple deaths, probably. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's multiplayer matches often begin with a sweeping helicopter flyover before the countdown begins, which gets players pretty amped up for battle.

I'm saving the world again, much like I've saved it a dozen times before. I've taken command of yet another team of ragtag soldiers and scientists, and returned once more to frantically scampering back and forth across a terrified planet, responding to panicked reports of strange creatures unleashing horrifying attacks. I've been scavenging their weapons, analysing their biology and reverse-engineering their technology. The fate of humanity itself rests on the shoulders of fewer soldiers than would fill a classroom and the invisible, intangible people who presumably exist behind them, fixing their weapons, tending their wounds and laundering their blood-stained undershirts at the conclusion of every suburban skirmish.

Microsoft, perhaps in the grip of sudden festive cheer, has unveiled a bumper selection of titles coming to Game Pass on Xbox One and PC this month, including PES 2020, The Division, balletic shooter My Friend Pedro, and punishing plague horror Pathologic 2.

The Outlast Trials has been announced - and it's got co-op.

As the second instalment of its kind, the PlayStation 4 Lineup Music Video Winter Mix was supposed to showcase Sony's extensive game catalogue while accompanied by beautiful music and creative animations. It appears to have failed the creativity part, however, as it's been accused of ripping multiple animations from the work of other artists - including students.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire finally has a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release date. It comes out in just over a month: 28th January 2020.

A remake of Resident Evil 3 is in development, even if Capcom hasn't actually announced the project. And, courtesy of yesterday's box art leak, we now have our first look at the re-jigged Nemesis, which is certainly big on... teeth.
