Years ago, I interviewed a level designer who had originally trained as an architect, which these days is not an uncommon career trajectory. I asked him about the benefits his skillset brought to 3D level design. He talked about how it helped with approaching scale and structural integrity and creating a rational space.

Anthem was first revealed during Microsoft's E3 2017 media briefing, a climactic showpiece that demonstrated EA's Frostbite engine taken to the next level, with a level of visual fidelity and density we'd never seen from this generation of consoles. We were told it was running in real-time, we were told it was running on Xbox One X, all of which has made the last couple of weekends playing the demo fascinating. To cut to the chase: was the demo an accurate representation of the actual product's visual credentials? No. Is it a beautiful current-gen game? Yes, but there is a price to pay.

Twitch has unveiled the line-up of games that Twitch Prime members can download and keep for nowt as part of their subscription in February: Dear Esther, Downwell, The Flame in the Flood, and Draknek & Co Puzzle Collection.

UPDATE 7.45pm: Microsoft says this evening's sign-in issues on Xbox One, as well as problem accessing previously purchased content, should now be "resolved".

One thing I love about Anthem's demo - available to a selection of people last weekend and to everyone from today - is its healthy serving of the classic BioWare gameplay loop. Half the fun of leaving Normandy or Skyhold was returning home afterwards, catching up with Garrus or Leliana and hearing about whatever they had going on. Calibrating some guns, probably. Anthem's demo lets you go through this loop several times, placing you back in your solo instance of Fort Tarsis after shooting and looting with other players in the field. And while none of BioWare's new characters yet compare to your favourites from other games, you get the feeling that, after just a bit more time, they might.

Very promising Hotline-Miami-meets-Jazz-and-apes game Ape Out has been delayed, but only slightly. Devolver will now release it 28th February rather than 7th February, and that's on PC and Switch.

Ubisoft found itself in hot water overnight after sending a promotional email for The Division 2 declaring, in the subject line, "Come see what a real government shutdown looks like in the private beta."

It's never the most promising thing when a game's given you a headache before you've even booted it up. Trying to make sense of one of EA's launch schedule? You'll need a spreadsheet, of course. Want to understand exactly what the deal is with the two different SKUs of Dragon Marked for Death, the latest from brilliant boutique developer Inti Creates, and there's not even an Excel document to hand. Each one has two character classes apiece, each exclusive to each particular SKU and each presumably available as DLC at some point down the line.

Pokémon Go has unlocked new Gen 4 evolutions and fresh Pokémon to hunt in the wild.

If you're still drying your eyes over the delay of Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo's offered up just the cure.

Which radio station do you tune into? Is it Heart in the UK, or BBC Radio something or other? Is it Z100 in New York, or KIIS FM in Los Angeles? (I had to Google those.) Or, is it Truckers.FM?

Ubisoft's third year of content for multiplayer melee fighter For Honor is now underway on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, bringing with it a new hero, a new map, and more.

Developer Pheonix Labs has announced that it will be migrating all existing accounts for its free-to-play co-op monster-hunter Dauntless over to the Epic Games Store later this year, and that all players will require an Epic log-in in order to continue playing after the move.

In theory Resident Evil 7 is easy to appreciate. After a series of increasingly action-focused entries trying to capture the magic of Resident Evil 4 - and falling short to varying degrees - Capcom has finally listened to its fans and scaled back the shooty bits in favour of an eerie slow burn through a funhouse of horror cliches. Based on the publicly released 20 minute demo of Resident Evil 7, there isn't even a weapon to be found. Yet this minimalist first-person entry doesn't seem like a return to the series' roots either, but rather the restless folks at Capcom chasing a different trend: that of the minimalist sensory horror experience.

Yesterday evening, Blizzard popped the cork on a brand new Overwatch map called Paris, which is set in Paris - wouldn't it be weird if it wasn't?
