One of the most impressive-looking Unreal Engine 4 games of the last couple of years, Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice seems like an unlikely choice for Switch conversion. Yes, UE4 has delivered some excellent Switch titles, but the sheer density of the original game would surely cause problems for Nintendo's hybrid - after all, Hellblade is a game that was never in a million years designed with a mobile chipset in mind. And yet here it is: developer QLOC's conversion work is fascinating, with some inventive solutions deployed to excellent effect.

If a bog standard bag isn't good enough to carry around your Nintendo Switch, then you may be interested in something a little more... bespoke.

Video game leaks often come from fairly unexpected places, and this time we have one courtesy of an Amazon T-shirt listing. I imagine someone's getting a dressing down for this.

Few video game industry firings make the headlines, and fewer still get to sound as dramatic as the tale of Assassin's Creed co-creator Patrice Désilets getting the boot from Ubisoft, six years ago. Relieved of his services mere months after rejoining the company, Désilets was escorted out his office by security without being able to clear his desk or say goodbye to his team. I've heard the story several times over the years, as well as accounts of what may have caused it, but now I'm hearing the highlights first-hand, as Désilets introduces himself and his new game via a potted history of past escapades.

The first thought I had when I heard that VR was coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Labo range was probably the same thought that ran through many other minds during the announcement - and that thought was, "well that's not going to work very well." And now I feel silly, because I've honestly been having the loveliest time exploring Nintendo's lo-fi take on virtual reality, surrounded by a pile of peculiar cardboard peripherals. My right eye does feel a little bit weird, but more on that later.

After the briefest of teases yesterday, Sega has announced that Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be heading to Steam on May 9th.

The Ace Attorney series is breaking new ground this week, with a remaster of the Phoenix Wright trilogy making its console and PC debut.

Some things just go perfectly together, even if they're so very different. Strawberries and black pepper. Bacon and syrup. Watermelon and feta. Okay, I haven't tried that last one, but I'm told it works.

Two years ago video game developer and New York University professor Robert Yang made a satirical game about the loaded societal anxieties that come with being a gay man in a gym locker room. It was called Rinse & Repeat, and it was a lot more clever than its silly premise of washing a naked man with aviator shades suggested. Yet streaming video service Twitch took issue with its rampant nudity and banned it, even though Yang, and many critics, agreed that its penis presentation was crucial to its purpose. So now, with his latest game The Tearoom, Yang has offered a humourous solution: swap a cock for a glock.

When watching Black Mirror I often think "that's a bit far-fetched": but once again the world has proven the show is closer to reality than we'd like, as Activision Blizzard has been encouraging employees to share their health data with the company via third-party apps. Not only that, but the company has explained its practices with some frankly terrifying quotes.
