Let's be honest, after all the leaks, it's probably not a surprise to hear there's a new Garden Warfare-style Plants vs Zombies. Ta-da! Here it is. It's named Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, and it contains Garden Warfare-y multiplayer modes, a quest-filled free-roaming PVE campaign you can play in single-player or co-op, and a social hub to spend time messing about in.

The first ever post on Eurogamer was made 20 years ago today, on 4th September, 1999. To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we've picked 20 articles - well actually, 21, including that first post - one for each year we've been running.

Gears 5 grew on me as I played through its meaty, 12 hour campaign. At first it felt so Gears of War. As JD, Marcus Fenix's son, you spend a lot of time doing that Xbox 360 whack-a-mole Gears thing from behind cover, shooting up the Swarm, a new twist on the Locust horde, almost in cruise control. Accompanied by Jack, a chirpy drone-like robot whose upgradeable, RPG-like support abilities prove incredibly useful during the more challenging firefights, you soldier through acres of Destroyed Beauty; the world of Sera, which, it seems to me, looks a lot like Croydon on a Sunday morning, under threat once more.

So this feels weird, but I did an interview! I mean as an interviewee, not interviewer for once. In honour of our 20th anniversary, I chatted to Matthew Handrahan, editor of our fine sister site GamesIndustry.biz, about the changing face of games journalism over the last two decades - particularly the 11-plus years I've been here at Eurogamer.

If you've played Bloodborne, you'll remember Master Willem as the NPC that sits on a rocking chair beside Moonside Lake in Byrgenwerth. He doesn't do much but vaguely gesture in the direction of where you fight Rom, the Vacuous Spider. But originally, Rom wasn't the only boss planned in this area.

What's in the name of a genre? There's something unwieldy about the 'beat 'em-up', that most 80s of terms, that's never sat quite right with me. Maybe that's because there's no cute contraction as there is with the shoot 'em-up, the beat 'em-up's close cousin where you fight off hordes with bullets rather than your fists, which is now more commonly called the shmup. Maybe it's because of the confusion that remains between beat 'em-ups and their even closer cousin the fighting game.

Nintendo has announced it is partnering with Digital Schoolhouse (DSH), a programme run by UKIE to help inspire future generations with "play-based learning".

After more than six years of talking about it, CD Projekt Red has finally made it official: Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a multiplayer portion.

Monster Hunter World's behemoth Iceborne expansion might not be out quite yet, but Capcom is already stirring up excitement for what comes next, with news that Iceborne's first free post-launch monster will be huge, angry ape Rajang.

Acclaimed, if notoriously obtuse, Indiana-Jones-esque exploratory platformer La-Mulana and its sequel are being bundled up for a release on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch next year.

Dave Bautista, of WWE and Guardians of the Galaxy fame, will be a playable character in Gears 5, and available from 15th September.

For me, the thing about a game like Torchlight 2 is that when I'm playing it I'm never entirely paying attention. Or rather I'm never giving it my entire attention. This is not a slight. If anything, I love the effect this has, because it means that when I replay it after a long absence, phrases return to me like fragments of some dream I can only half remember. The Temple Steppes. The Path of the Honored Dead. These things, I can just about get the tips of my fingers on them when I root through my life for their origin. Maybe they muddle around inside my head all the time when I'm not playing, almost breaking the surface, almost announcing themselves.

Red Dead Online, will be galloping into new territory next week, with the launch of its previously announced class-like Specialist Roles system on Tuesday, 10th September.

80 Days, developer Inkle's sublime steampunk spin on Jules Verne's classic travel story, will be heading to Switch on 1st October, and the studio's equally breathtaking language-themed archaeological adventure, Heaven's Vault, is coming to the console next year.

As you might have noticed, this week marks 20 years since Eurogamer first sprung forth from boss-man Rupert Loman's loins (or something like that, I wasn't paying attention), and to mark it we're running a short series of celebratory features. We would present our own picks for the best games of the last two decades, but honestly where's the fun in that? So here's a collection of the Eurogamer team's personally-cherished gems that might have gone unsung, or might have escaped your attention.

A year after its initial gameplay debut, CD Projekt RED treated Gamescom 2019 attendees to a new slice of Cyberpunk 2077 action, with Digital Foundry on site to check it out. The lack of assets at the time prevented us from sharing many of our thoughts, but the good news is that CDPR followed up on the event by releasing a 14-minute video showing some - but certainly not all - of the content. What we have on display here continues to impress, but it is somewhat surprising to see a presentation that isn't a match for the Gamescom or E3 demos we saw in person.

There's a new Nintendo Direct coming tomorrow, 4th September, at 11pm UK time.

CD Projekt Red has addressed fan concerns around which camera perspective Cyberpunk 2077 will use during cut-scenes, confirming it will be "100 per cent first-person".

Control takes place within the confines of the Oldest House, a vast government building being invaded by a paranatural entity known as the Hiss. This malevolent force isn't the only thing to resonate within the concrete walls of the House. The environments of Control are founded on real-world architectural history. Like the Hiss, this history quietly seethes in the background ensuring a threatening noise and texture to the happenings that occur there.

Free-to-play MMO Guild Wars 2's latest season of "Living World" episodic updates, The Icebrood Saga, will begin on 17th September, according to developer ArenaNet.

Nintendo has given us our first look at Shadow Link chasing regular Link around a dungeon thanks to the adorable Link amiibo.

A few hours before I'm due to see indie adventure Röki somewhere within Gamescom's cavernous halls, developer Polygon Treehouse sends a minute-long video to my phone. The clip shows the winding path to find the game on the showfloor: into the correct hall, onto the right stand, and over to a hidden meeting room. A few hours later I'm tracing that same path, pulling my phone from my pocket to consult the video again, and my tired brain thinks, 'this feels a lot like using something from my inventory to help solve a puzzle'.
