Last week, Aoife and I flew out to PAX East (which is run by Eurogamer's parent company ReedPOP) to sample some lobster and play some video games, although not necessarily in that order (they were interspersed). Since this is Eurogamer and not Eurocrustacean, here are the five best games we played at PAX East and not the five best times we ate lobster in Boston.

If there's one game that can be odd and just about get away with it, it's Jackbox, which has revealed yet another party pack is on the way. We're now up to six, if you can believe it.

In the middle of a tense Civ 6 barbarian battle but really need the loo? Well, now you can take your game with you, as 2K has implemented a cross-platform cloud system allowing players to transfer their saves between Switch and Steam.

As expected, Borderlands 3 comes out on 13th September 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One - and the PC version does indeed launch on the Epic Games store exclusively for six months.

Until now, you've needed to raid with a group of people playing Pokémon Go to get a legendary Pokémon. No longer.

It's not often video game box art catches my eye these days. If it's not generic action man looking like he's on a mission, it's a few generic action men looking like they're on a mission.

Mortal Kombat 11 will scale back the custom variation system for online ranked play.

Soon you'll be able to willingly experience some nightmares in bed, as Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is releasing on Switch next week.

When we first took a look at the PC version of Anthem, one thing was abundantly clear - this game is highly demanding on hardware. Average frame-rates are fine overall, but once the title's signature pyrotechnics kick off in full force, performance can drop alarmingly. Running at 4K resolution on max settings, not even Nvidia's top-tier RTX 2080 Ti graphics hardware can consistently run this game at 60 frames per second. However, the arrival of a new Anthem patch supporting Nvidia's deep learning super-sampling could potentially help.

The thing I like the most about Toca Boca video games, I think, is that they are so confident in what they're doing. This shows itself in the way they present their objectives. There is something obvious and appealing to do, but no punishment for doing it wrong, and no clear point at which the thing you're doing is completed so the whole thing has to end.

Huge Sekiro spoilers ahead.

BioWare has said it's looking at ways to improve the studio's culture after a new report revealed worrying crunch issues during the troubled development of Anthem.

Romero Games - the studio belonging to John and Brenda Romero - has signed a deal with Paradox to make a strategy game based on a new intellectual property.

It's amazing, of course. There are few games better suited to the full immersion of virtual reality, and I'm delighted to say that, from my short experience playing on a Vive Pro, Hello Games has knocked it out of the park. A sense of immersion has always been a key part of No Man's Sky's fantasy, and of course that's amplified immeasurably when wearing a headset - there's that thrilling sense of being there, feet planted on some alien planet, scanning the horizons and getting drunk on the endless possibilities out there.

It's that time again. Time to head down to London's loveliest, steampunk-iest venue and wrap ourselves in the warm cosy atmosphere of EGX Rezzed, the PC and indie gaming show run by EG's parent company Reed POP.

It's another puzzling situation for Devil May Cry 5, this time for European PlayStation 4 users.

Obsidian Entertainment demoed sci-fi role-playing game The Outer Worlds live at PAX East over the weekend.

If you played NBA Jam back in the early 90s, as I did, you'll instantly recognise the voice of Tim Kitzrow.

The PC version of Borderlands 3 will launch exclusively on the Epic Games store - if deleted tweets are to believed.

Deep Silver has issued a warning to Steam users after it deactivated Metro Exodus keys that were stolen from a factory.

UPDATE: Blackout is free for all of April.

Pre-owned video game sales are in freefall in the UK, according to a new report.

Valve has confirmed that pre-orders for its new VR headset, known as the Index, will begin on May 1st, with shipments expected to start some time in June.

It may be April Fool's day, but the moderators on r/Games are certainly not messing around, as the entire subreddit has been closed to call attention to toxicity within game communities.

The 16-bit console era was defined by the platforming, bottom-bouncing, power-up scoffing cartoon mascot - and which comedic character had more of an impact on gaming than, um, Bubsy the Bobcat? In this very special 'not-at-all inspired by April 1st' Digital Foundry Retro, we go back to the heady days of the Mega Drive and Super NES - the era of 'attitude' - and revisit the awesome might of Bubsy, discovering his bizarre legacy and his direct connection to upcoming PS4 first-party exclusive, Days Gone.

Dangerous Driving is Burnout, but what kind of Burnout is it? This question shouldn't be easy to answer because, like Tetris, Burnout is one of those games that was always, secretly, reworking itself. Burnout 3 introduced takedowns, for example, the ability to strike a rival once you had crashed, steering your own wreckage through the thick, sparking air for fun and profit. Burnout 4 took that idea and turned it into traffic-checking, which meant that any cars you hit that were travelling the same way as you would suddenly begin to bounce down the road, taking out anything and everything in their path. And then Paradise took the whole thing open-world.

Here's a feel-good story that (thankfully) isn't an April Fool's: remember back in November last year when we reported on the petition to get Skyrim-playing grandmother Shirley Curry into The Elder Scrolls 6? If you signed it - congratulations, your signature (along with nearly 50,000 others) made a difference.

Talking to Sam Barlow is kind of like playing through his most celebrated game. Pop in a keyword and it'll send him on a spiral of thought, looping through different topics and themes before landing back somewhere familiar. It's as if his thought patterns have been rewired by the games he's been working on, evolved into some kind of non-linear sprawl that his conversation invites you to tug away at until you find a thread that might take you somewhere new. Even his accent flits around in some hard to pin down nether region between Yorkshire where he was born, Tanzania where he spent some of the childhood or New York where he calls home now.

I thought he was just another corpse at first.

Yakuza series general director Toshihiro Nagoshi has confirmed the next Yakuza game will star Yakuza Online's Ichiban Kasuga and this video may, or may not, be our first peek at it.
