Developer Brave At Night's striking pixel art kingdom management sim, Yes, Your Grace, might still be some way off its 2020 release, but those eager to experience it have a chance to do so from this Friday, 15th November, when the game's previously teased beta gets underway.

Phobia Game Studio's "reverse horror" game Carrion - in which players are the oozing tentacle monster, and humans are their tiny squishy prey - will be heading to Xbox One alongside the previously announced PC version when it launches next year.

Infinity Ward has issued a new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and it tackles the game's worst map.

For the last few months, the game I've been looking forward to the most has been Rush Wars. It's Supercell, a developer that has mastered smartphone tactics games, and it looks a bit like Advance Wars - it's a game of chunky units and brisk match-ups, all delivered with a lovely candified coating.

Intel's Core i9 9900KS has arrived - and it's a beast. This $599 limited edition processor was created from the best-performing 9900K models and is advertised as running at an all-core turbo speed of 5GHz, right out of the box - something only a fraction of 9900K samples could hope to achieve through careful manual overclocking. The 9900KS should also be capable of hitting a given frequency at a lower voltage than most 9900K units in the wild, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts that want to achieve their high clocks at low temperatures. Given how well the 9700K and 9900K perform in most games, the 9900KS should take the crown as the fastest gaming processor on the market with its faster all-core turbo and higher 127W TDP - but the question is whether it's actually worth its higher price, when you can already get strong gaming performance from a range of much cheaper processors from AMD and Intel.

Fans have honoured popular gaming YouTuber Desmond "Etika" Amofah with a mural of him in Brooklyn, New York.

Hello, and welcome to our new series which picks out interesting things that we'd love someone to make a game about.

Developer Hosni Auji and publisher AMC have unveiled Airplane Mode, a game that promises to deliver all the mundane highs and tedious lows of a six-hour commercial flight in real-time.

It's official - the exclusive London City bowler hat Pikachus have all but run out, leaving a fuzzy hatted imposter in their place.

Death Stranding contains a collection of cameos from creator Hideo Kojima's celebrity friends. Poke around and you'll find comedian Conan O'Brien, director Edgar Wright, and Remedy boss Sam Lake.

After addressing negative feedback about the game back in September, Pokémon Masters producers Yu Sasaki and Tetsuya Iguchi have released a new update detailing some of the changes and improvements on the way.

UPDATE 11/11/19: Wattam finally arrives on 17th December, and pre-orders are now live on the Epic Games Store for PC. The link to pre-order on the PlayStation Store isn't yet live but, for either platform, it'll cut the price down by 15 per cent.

Somewhere out there I like to think there's this big warehouse full of Ballers. Creak open the huge door and the desert light glances off all these dusty glass domes, arranged in tidy rows, perhaps surrounded by a ragged circle of shopping carts, golf buggies, airplane props. The Baller was a Fortnite vehicle of almost unparalleled joy. You jumped inside, rolled around, boosted through the sky and grappled and swung between points, letting momentum surprise you. You tethered yourself to a structure and jet-bounced around inside like a pinball until the whole thing came down around you. The Baller made the game even more brilliant - and for me it almost ruined it too.

Over the last week there's been an outpouring of Hong Kong support from Pokémon fans on Twitter, as artists have been redesigning Pokémon in protest gear under the the hashtag #PokemonForHK.

Pokémon Go's new questline to battle Team Rocket and defeat big boss Giovanni has at last been beaten by players around the world.

Hideo Kojima's PlayStation 4 timed-exclusive Death Stranding entered the UK boxed games chart in second place, behind a dominant Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Over the weekend, Anthem gave players with access to the Public Test Server (PTS) a chance to have a go at the upcoming winter event, Icetide.

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has always been open about his interest in media outside games, claiming to be 70 per cent movies and regularly expressing his love for bands like Chvrches, Apocalyptica, and Silent Poets. However, when it comes to implementing music into his games, his tastes sometimes border on the esoteric.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC has some issues - fixable issues - but they shouldn't distract too much from the scale of the overall achievement. Rockstar has taken one of the most advanced game engines in the market and opened up almost every aspect of its rendering to the audience, allowing graphics enthusiasts to push already pristine visuals to a new level of precision. As always with technology that pushes boundaries, there is a cost, and the fact that a fully maxed experience is beyond most mainstream graphics hardware is causing controversy. The thing is, excellent results can be achieved on some of the most popular gaming PC hardware: it simply requires the user to accept that in many cases, low and medium settings aren't inherently bad things. In fact, they may even present improvements over their Xbox One X equivalents.

Chinese megacorp Tencent has revealed it is looking to Nintendo to "learn the essence of making console games" for European and American gamers.

Though it seems most mods these days focus on either stripping characters starkers or Thomas-the-Tank-Engine-ing everything, here's a brilliant little Devil May Cry 5 mod that's neither of those things: it enables three-player co-op on PC.

Dataminers think they have uncovered evidence that a clan system is on its way to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC and console.

Beat Saber is a fantastic game because it's easy for anyone to pick up and play and it makes you feel like a Jedi. Pistol Whip, the new game from Cloudhead Games for PC VR headsets follows a very similar formula. It's also a rhythm action game that's very easy for anyone to pick up and play but this one makes you feel like you're John Wick, kicking ass inside the Matrix.

Ubisoft has revealed the full details of the fourth and final season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Year Four. Making the announcement today at the Pro League Finals in Tokoname, Japan, Operation Shifting Tides see "an entirely reworked Theme Park map" and brings two new operatives, Kali and Wamai.

Though Silent Hill received an upgrade of sorts courtesy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the Wii in 2009, the original 20-year-old game is one of few instalments of the psychological horror series that arguably hasn't aged well. Fans of old still appreciate it, of course, but new players may struggle with its dated graphics and control scheme.

The devil, they say, is in the details. This makes grim sense to me, as I'm being tortured by what seems to be my own personal demon, a foul creature which stabs at me from depths of minutiae that I can never seem to delve into to any satisfying extent. Percentages roar angrily around my head, and numbers course relentlessly through my veins. I wasn't always like this.

There are monsters out there. They lurk in the sewers, they scour the suburbs, they roam the crumbling, collapsing cities. The haunt the historic neighbourhoods of the east. They track through the thickening snow of the frozen west. They're horrific caricatures of what human beings used to be and they all stare at Ellie with hungry, vacant eyes. Mindless, slavering, they're motivated only by that most base self-interest: survival.

We're used to the British tabloids attacking Fortnite for turning the nation's children into monsters, but now they're attacking Fortnite players for making money from the game.

Well, we probably all saw this coming. After modders worked out how to transform into pretty much any animal or NPC model in Red Dead Redemption 2's PC version, it was only a matter of time before someone found models without clothes in the game - and looks like that person was me. Sorry everyone.

Pokémon developer Game Freak has had a tough time of it lately. The Japanese studio has faced a barrage of criticism online from players angry at certain aspects of the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield, with recent leaks exacerbating the issue.
