Wound up? Of course you are! But don't worry because here's a game which might calm you down. It's a phone game called Eloh and it's made by the same people responsible for Old Man's Journey, that lovely platform game about aging and facing regrets.

Festival of the Lost, Destiny's mostly-annual Halloween event, has been detailed for 2018 - and it feels like there's a little more on offer this time around.

Breath of the Wild, which I'm finally starting to properly play at the moment, is a game that's filled with clever ideas and neat little bits of business. But as I zero in on my first 20 hours, one of the things that's standing out as being particularly ingenious is the manner in which you mark things down on the map screen. Breath of the Wild's pins are properly brilliant.

I've seen a few Game Boy phone cases out in the wild - protective cases which (unofficially) make the back of your mobile look like Nintendo's classic handheld.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has sprays and in-match emotes.

On Monday, UK physical console sales of Assassin's Creed Odyssey were revealed to be down 25 per cent on last year's Origins. While we said at the time there were likely other factors in play, it didn't look great for Ubisoft's well-received new release.

UPDATE 11TH OCTOBER: A Blizzard-exclusive Lego Bastion building kit is now on sale. It's £22.50, and features an orange Omnic Crisis-coloured Bastion with friendly bird pal Ganymede on shoulder. Bastion can swivel at the waist like a salsa teacher, and move its arms. Apparently it's only available in limited quantities.

A brave attempt to rescue a stranded Commander in Elite Dangerous has ended in tragedy following malicious interference by a real-life cat.

We already know the new Fallout game is going to be a little, well, different. As a multiplayer game in the Fallout franchise, it focuses on player to player interactions and consequently doesn't have any NPCs.

Star Citizen, the crowdfunded $200m video game, put out a fancy new trailer showing off the story - and its impressive celebrity cast.

Game streaming is coming. It's been coming since before we all laughed at OnLive and ignored PlayStation Now, and those too-little-too-soon gambits did nothing to impede its inevitable arrival. It is the future, in the sense that a credible and widely-used iteration of game streaming technology is around the corner and is something everyone reading this will probably end up using. Whether this future will prove mutually exclusive with other futures - those of games consoles and of digital platforms like Steam - is much more debatable. But it's coming regardless.

After four and a half years in development, Lucas Pope's highly-anticipated Papers, Please follow-up - Return of the Obra Dinn - is ready to release.

The mystery surrounding new Pokémon Meltan has been somewhat lifted, as new videos shared on the official Pokémon channel hint the Pokémon may be able to evolve, is attracted by an ancient box, and can only be caught in Pokémon Go. Phew.

We're mere days away from the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - a game that takes the series in brand new directions, removing the campaign element completely and introducing us to Treyarch's take on battle royale. But there's more - including a concentrated focus on making the PC version of the game the best it can possibly be, while simultaneously moving the title to Blizzard's Battle.net for the first time. What we're looking at here is the biggest fundamental shift to the COD proposition since Modern Warfare - and in fact, depending on the success of the new game, the make-up of a COD series entry may never be the same again.

Someone is remaking the single-player campaign from legendary N64 shooter GoldenEye 007 in Unreal Engine 4.

We've become accustomed to a singular artistic illustration of war. Chaotic cinematics that leap from one shocked face to the next, bodies - and body parts - strewn around, sinking into the mud. There's sometimes an accompanying chorus of plaintive strings, as though the visuals alone aren't enough to convey the horror, but it's usually all but drowned out by a competing soundtrack of screams and explosions.

I'm not keen on mincing words on this one. H.P Lovecraft was a racist and before you go making an argument for separating the art from the artist, let's be clear on another point: so are his stories. They encompass other problematic elements too, of course - misogyny, homophobia. Right down to their core, right down to the very themes that recur throughout his works, you'll find the hateful perspective he had of the world: the ignorance of someone who viewed anything unlike himself with revulsion. While he drew inspiration from works predating him, what Lovecraft gave to the genre of cosmic horror was his hate.

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone's superlative farming and village life sim Stardew Valley is heading to iOS and Android devices, starting on October 24th.

My fellow music nerds will remember Riot Grrrl for its connection to a wellspring of awesome bands. From Bikini Kill to Bratmobile and Heavens to Betsy, at the start of the 1990s the Washington punk scene had suddenly exploded in girl bands, pouring out of a growing movement of informal all-girl meet-ups in the city where women of the scene organized shows, offered each other support and distributed zines - hand-crafted magazines filled with Xeroxed diary entries, sketches, song lyrics and political thought. In a world before the Internet, this was the best way to cultivate a community of like-minded thinkers who felt excluded from what was a predominantly masculine preoccupation of punk rock.

Frontier has unveiled Planet Coaster's new World's Fair Pack, an internationally flavoured DLC expansion coming to PC next week, on October 16th.
