Thanks to a hectic (but amazing) EGX and a much needed holiday, this is the first Ian's VR Corner I've been able to produce for a couple of weeks. So, to make amends for my tardiness, I've decided to feature not one but two new PSVR releases in this week's post.

Back in 2000, the then 32-year-old Akihiro Hino sat down to play Dragon Quest 7 - the latest instalment in a series he, and indeed much of Japan, held dear. It was Dragon Quest that inspired Hino to go into the video games industry, after all. When playing the third entry over a decade earlier, he was smitten, fascinated with how so much was done with so little; how the animation and artwork, so simple in its execution, conspired to make something so touching and moving. It was like, Hino said, being hit over the head.

A recent update to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ditched the server selection the battle royale game used to employ in favour of region locking - something players had vociferously called for for months.

Have we reached the point where high-end laptop technology has evolved to the point where one machine can cover the majority of potential use-case scenarios? Can the latest thin and light machines featuring six-core Intel processors and Nvidia's GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU replace your games machine and your ultrabook - while delivering enough CPU horsepower to work as a high-end 4K video editing workstation? In a multi-month experiment, we put MSI's GS65 Stealth laptop to the test, with some fascinating results.

Gameplay of Amazon's new MMO has leaked online.

Assassin's Creed returns once again with the excellent Odyssey, built upon the same technological revamp that successfully powered last year's Origins. By and large, it's a successful multi-platform deployment across consoles and PC, but similar to the last offering, it's best played on the enhanced '4K' consoles. There's an almost majestic scale and scope to this new title across all systems, but it's PS4 Pro and Xbox One X that deliver a quantifiably smoother, more consistent experience over base consoles.

Hot on the heels of the addition of game downloads to previously stream-only subscription service PlayStation Now, Sony has announced a raft of new games now live on the service.

The PC version of Blackout, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's battle royale mode, will be capped at 120fps at launch.

I bounced off the latest Zelda, Breath of the Wild, quite quickly when it first came out, but over the last few weeks a very specific element of the game has been bringing me back. It's an animation that plays at certain moments, most commonly when you climb a new tower and unlock a new part of the game's gigantic map of Hyrule.

Japanese micro-sim specialist Kairosoft has announced that it's bringing a number of titles to Switch next week, including its wonderful break-out hit Game Dev Story.

Square Enix has announced Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far, a frankly enormous PlayStation 4 compilation featuring every game released so far in the series - minus the browser/mobile instalment, Kingdom Hearts χ.

Have you ever wished Pokémon were real? Of course you have - it's practically everyone's fantasy. I'm afraid Pokémon haven't literally been brought to life, but thanks to the work of scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, some real-world creatures are about to be named after them.

Sony has detailed the timed-exclusive items coming first to PlayStation 4 owners of Red Dead Redemption 2, 30 days before Xbox One.

Fighting games have a reputation for being a largely impenetrable genre, packed with jargon, complex mechanics and challenging systems. While some developers of fighting games have made strides to explain how these systems work, at the end of the day, going up against other players is, for a huge swathe of people, an intimidating, crushing experience.

It's getting towards that time of the year again. With Christmas on the not-too-distant horizon, it will soon be time to consider which title will be the go-to choice for the festivities. For me, the criteria for a Christmas classic comes down to a few categories. Is it quick to learn? Is it humorous? Can I still play it after four glasses of sherry?

Bungie has detailed improvements to some of Destiny 2's most pressing issues, such as Gambit's Sleeper Simulant problem and Malfeasance questline, in response to player feedback.

Locations have been the secret star of every Assassin's Creed game, so the difference between a memorable backdrop and a mundane one can be critical. Odyssey's Ancient Greece didn't feel an obvious choice at first. It's a time period before the Assassins existed, a country known more for its myths than its history, and a spread of islands which, its capital aside, are relatively unknown. Mykonos is lovely this time of year, by the way, but you're more likely to have heard of Rome, London, Paris, New York. Even with Assassin's Creed Origins, a game similar to Odyssey in style and scope, you had the lure of the pyramids, the Sphinx and icons of history such as Caesar and Cleopatra. What can Ancient Greece offer?

Inferno is a playable character in Soulcalibur 6.
