Batman is now in Fortnite.

Gears 5 is a great game, despite some issues, but there's one aspect that's unequivocally a big let down: it doesn't let you play as Carmine.

As the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta soldiers on, so do the bug reports from its army of players.

If you, like me, played Street Fighter 2 back in the nineties, you probably had a sneaky suspicion the computer cheated.

It's not often we learn the amount of money that changes hands as part of video game industry deals. But an Italian financial report has done just that for Epic's exclusivity deal for Remedy's Control.

Oxenfree developer Night School Studio has announced that its intriguing pub-crawl-in-hell narrative adventure, Afterparty, will be making its way - presumably on all fours and in a trailing puddle of sick - to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 29th October.

Borderlands 3 has barely been out a week, but already developer Gearbox is rolling out the presumably gun-laden tea trolley marked "future content plans". And at least some of the supplementary morsels scattered atop its silverware will take the form of special free limited-time events, with the first of these, Bloody Harvest, coming next month.

Developer Picroma has revealed that its long-in-the-works voxel-based action-RPG will be coming to Steam, somewhat earlier than previously announced, on Monday, 30th September.

Earlier this week, dataminers probing around Fortnite's innards uncovered evidence that the battle royale phenomenon was poised to unleash some kind of Batman crossover event. And now developer Epic has confirmed that such a thing is indeed on the way - but it's saving the details for a YouTube video reveal tomorrow.

Among the most celebrated RPGs to hit PC over the last few years, Divinity Original Sin 2 makes a surprise debut on Switch with a unique and compelling new feature: the ability to share saves with the Steam version of the game, effectively allowing you to take your game on the go, then return your progress back to the PC version. We've seen the rise of cross-play in the likes of Fortnite, but this again shows Switch coming into its own as a perfect complement to the home experience - but beyond the intriguing cross-save mechanic, can such a complex, challenging game transition effectively to Nintendo's console hybrid?

FIFA 20 is out now if you've got EA Access or Origin Access - and already players are coming together to work out the ins and outs of Ultimate Team.

Merry almost Christmas everyone! The festive season is nearly here, so what better time to take a look at this year's official 2019 Xbox Christmas jumper.

Koholint Island is a place worth treasuring. This is something Link learns over the course of his quest to wake the mythical Wind Fish. And it's something you will know already if you have played either version of Link's Awakening to date: the Game Boy original or its DX re-release for Game Boy Color. Koholint Island is as much a character in Link's adventure as its inhabitants, and not a square of its map is wasted. From the beach Link washes up on to the purple and white egg laying in wait on its highest peak, it is a meticulously-made puzzle wrapped up in the lives of those who dwell upon it.

Known for popular Switch co-op puzzler Snipperclips, British indie studio SFB Games has released a brand new title for iPhone and iPad game subscription service Apple Arcade.

I keep dying at the same place. It's been three or four times now and several hours of play. I'm fed up. On my last go I thought I'd nailed it. I'd patiently built up my two-person, one-dog team, driving hundreds of miles from the West Coast of America towards East Coast America, ostensibly to find refuge from an alien invasion of some kind. I'd kept my car repaired and fuelled, collected useful supplies, but then I made one silly mistake and undid it all in a heartbeat. I blew my humans up. I drove the abandoned car into the roadblock at the end of my turn rather than the beginning and so didn't have time to run clear. An hour or so of gameplay exploded before my eyes.

Respawn has announced Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown will kick off on 1st October, bringing the new Legend, a new battle pass and Series 2 of Ranked play.

Following the likes of Cadence of Hyrule and Fire Emblem, Nintendo's streak of incredible Switch games continues with a remake of a Game Boy classic.

For almost nine years I've been dipping in and out of ilomilo, a cute and somewhat forgotten Xbox 360 puzzle game which recently gained a whole lot of new fame.

UPDATE 19/9/19: Although Microsoft hasn't yet fully revealed the next wave of titles heading to Xbox Game Pass on PC over the coming weeks, its official Twitter account has sprung into action to announce that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has now been added to its PC game subscription service - along with the previously confirmed Shadow Warriors 2.

A court in France has ruled that Steam users have the right to resell their games, following a case brought against the digital storefront giant by consumer group UFC Que Choisir in 2015.

Just like the zombies that inspired it, development on Saber Interactive's enormously popular co-op shooter World War Z continues to be undead, with the studio having now announced a second season of free content, all neatly detailed in a brand-new roadmap.

Not content with upping its weekly free game count to two a while back, Epic has pushed the boat (and, presumably, great wads of Fortnite cash) out even further this week, with six free games currently available to download from its store. The caveat is that they're all Batman themed, so if you don't like Batman, well, you're bang out of luck.

As though mass graves of dead horses and reanimating corpses of skinned mountain lions (thanks VG247) weren't spooky enough, Red Dead Online is now host to actual human zombies, except these ones don't look like a bug.

John Wick Hex has finally got a release date - and it's sooner than you might think. It comes to PC and Mac on 8th October.

PlayStation's next State of Play broadcast - its new, semi-regular Nintendo Direct-style announcement stream - airs Tuesday, 24th September at 9pm UK time.

There's a new Terminator movie out soon - and there's a new Terminator video game to go alongside it.

The problem with trying to outlaw something is you just end up increasing demand. Ask D. H. Lawrence, the author of Spycatcher or anyone who's ever tried to ban Judy Blume's Forever from a girls' comprehensive.

Sega has now officially announced A Total War Saga: Troy, the next in its line of strategy games focused on a specific place and point in time. In this case, its the setting of Homer's Illiad, featuring the Trojan war between Troy and Greece.

First released in 1993, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is an iconic release for the original Game Boy. At a time when the Zelda formula was still being defined and with developers still finding their feet on portable hardware, Nintendo managed to deliver an ageless classic. The new Switch remake delivers brand new visuals, a stunning soundtrack, quality of life improvements and more refined gameplay - but the fact is that it's the same game at the core, mostly untouched. 26 years later, the magic of Link's Awakening is undiminished - it's an essential purchase.

Borderlands 3 and I don't seem particularly compatible; not on paper, anyway. We don't have a whole lot in common. The eleventy gazillion gun options in its predecessor? That overwhelmed me more than it intrigued. The in-your-face hyper-meta edgelord humour? Nah, I'm good, ta.
