The statement I'm about to make may cause some of you to shake your heads in disapproval but, considering I've forewarned you, I accept no responsibility for any whiplash which may occur.

Regardless of your age, you probably know Alien. In the 39 years since Ridley Scott's timeless sci-fi horror chest-bursted onto cinema screens, a steady stream of Alien-related content has emerged in nearly every form of media. Film, books, comics, video games, a board game and even children's action figures - the Alien franchise is infestatious.

Destiny 2 is in a much better place now than at launch, and the new Forsaken expansion, which came out this week, is going down well with fans (I'm a fan, too!). But there's one issue that's plagued the game since launch, and despite a recent change meant to tackle it, it remains a thorn in developer Bungie's side.

Some Switch games do not support cloud saves "to ensure fair play", Nintendo has said.

Battlefield 5 builds on the Frostbite technology in some exciting ways, and this week's beta gives us our first look at how the new DICE game presents and performs on console hardware. In the wake of the recent Battlefield 1 Xbox One X update, can the developer follow up that excellent rendering showcase with another solid work-out for the Scorpio Engine - and just how closely can PS4 Pro match it?

I suspect many of you are currently enjoying swinging your way through New York in Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 (if you haven't read it already, be sure to check out Christian Donlan's review). But if you pause for a second to dig into the settings, you'll find some cool accessibility options available.

If you've got the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta sitting on your harddrive, you might have noticed a 14GB patch download. This gets the upcoming Blackout beta locked and loaded - but it also adds a new start-up video, which is a cool throwback to Black Ops of old.

I know what it's like to be late to a game. That's perfectly normal, and even Eurogamer's video team is frequently Late to the Party. I have however developed a curious love-hate relationship with games that indulge my habit to dawdle.

Developer Deck 13 has unveiled a new Wild-West-themed expansion for its sci-fi Souls-like The Surge, coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 2nd.

Here we go everyone - there's yet another battle royale mobile port coming our way. The latest contender in the struggle for mobile supremacy is H1Z1, with its new mobile version.

We recently spoke about reboots, and how it's a good opportunity for publishers to pump up the tires of an ailing game franchise.

The V&A's new exhibition, Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt, opens its doors tomorrow, and having visited the south west London museum earlier this week for a preview I can tell you this: if you've any interest in examining the artistry of this medium, or enlightening yourself or others as to what makes it exciting and so full of possibility, this is nothing short of essential. I walked out light-headed, stepping out into the grey light of a Knightsbridge early afternoon dizzy from it all.

If you ever resented your parents for limiting your time playing video games, be thankful your government wasn't at it too.

A Nintendo Switch version of Sid Meier's Civilization 6 will launch on 16th November, publisher 2K Games has confirmed.

Can you truly say you have lived until you have lamped someone with a manhole cover in Insomniac's new Spider-Man game? Sure, you may have known happiness to a certain degree. You may have known love, even. You may have rolled the dice, as the saying goes, and landed a few sevens. But lamping someone with a manhole cover? It's top-tier. Top of the shop, as an older generation might put it. Bam!

Final Fantasy 15 is headed to Nintendo Switch! Well, the Pocket Edition of the game is, anyway - the chibi-fied version which previously launched for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Criterion Games, the creator of Burnout, is making Firestorm, Battlefield 5's battle royale mode.

Sea of Thieves' next major content update, Forsaken Shores, is right around the corner, launching on September 19th. In the run-up to its release, Rare has unveiled a brand-new cinematic teaser trailer, highlighting and hinting at some the new additions that the update will bring.

UPDATE 7/9/18: Epic has now officially confirmed Fortnite Monopoly will be arriving in stores on October 1st.

Nintendo has seemingly inadvertently revealed the full title of its upcoming, long-in-development, Yoshi platformer for Switch - which now looks to be called Yoshi's Crafted World.

There is little reason to use fast travel in Marvel's Spider-Man. Manhattan, as Insomniac Games draws it, is a sparkling but compact metropolis: no two points are far apart. More importantly, getting from A to B is an authentic delight for this particular Spider-Man. The web-swinging is endlessly enjoyable with its lullaby see-sawing between the city streets and the wild blue sky. Why would you want to skip all that just to get to your destination a few seconds sooner?

Activision has unveiled its first proper gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's new battle royale mode, Blackout. Fair dos, it looks a right lark.

Obsidian has announced that Seeker, Slayer, Survivor - the second major paid DLC chapter for its seafaring RPG sequel, Pillars of Eternity 2 - will launch on September 25th.

It may have taken some time, but virtually every major franchise has eventually transitioned successfully to at least one of the enhanced consoles - but the lack of a decent Batman: Arkham experience for the 4K consoles is disappointing. The superb Arkham Knight never received any kind of upgrade for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, while the Return to Arkham patch for Sony's super-charged PS4 ranks as one of the most disappointing upgrades we've witnessed - until now. Somehow, despite having access to a significantly more powerful hardware spec, the recently released X upgrade for the controversial remaster manages to be even more of a let-down. In fact, it's easily the worst 'enhanced patch' we've seen on Xbox One X.

From the people who brought you the Xbox onesie comes the latest thing you don't really need: a PUBG-branded, greaseproof Xbox One controller.
