It was a shock-and-awe reveal at Sony's E3 conference, wowing the crowds and getting a surprise release during the briefing. But was it actually worth getting excited about? Jim had a look.
Asia's PlayStation Plus content reportedly leaked. European content is usually very similar.
Hustle Kings (PS3, Vita), Velocity Ultra (PS3, Vita), Table Ice Hockey (Vita) and Mind=0 (Vita) are also listed on PlayStation Asia as freebies, though the two PS4 games has been removed from the post.
According to the posting, there will also be discounts for various games. Draw Slasher, Anomaly Warzone Earth and Super Motherload will all receive a 30 per cent discount while Resogun will be discounted by 10 per cent.
There is no confirmation as to whether the US and Europe will receive the same content, if the report is true, though, expect to see Mind=0 swapped for a...
Insomniac confirms with a video of a character dressed very much like one of Ubisoft's assassins.
Not only will players have complete control over the gender of their character, but all clothing items are gender neutral. This mens a guy can wear a skirt if you want.
Somewhat cheekily - given the controversy over Ubisoft's lack of playable female characters in Assassin's Creed Unity - Insomniac has released a gameplay video of a female character wearing an outfit which very strongly resembles the garb of one of Ubisoft's assassins.
Check the video below.
Sunset Overdrive will launch October 31 for Xbox One.
As you would expect I saw a lot of games at E3, but one of the more unhyped offerings was the sequel to Lara Croft: Guardian Of Light. Continuing on bizarre subtitles by claiming The Temple of Osiris as its own, it takes the foundations of what came previously and runs with that almost verbatim.
It's a top down, co-op action fest where you mash buttons to kill mythical beasts, and hurl ropes to your companions to ensure they can continue to assist you in your adventure. It's undoubtedly fun, and the lengths Crystal Dynamics has gone to make it accessible are clear. You need about...

What to spend and when to spend it - our EA Sports UFC career mode strategy guide.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the different attributes available to improve, and it’s convenient to let the computer handle the allocation of your hard earned points, but don’t. It’s important that you craft a fighter that’s well equipped to survive the early years when he isn’t at his peak, and then is well-rounded enough to survive all challengers in the latter years when pushing for a title or holding on to the belt.
Your fighter’s style will dictate which attributes to focus on, see which attributes are highest and consider focusing on them as well as your...

Is listening to PC fans, but it doesn't sound like we'll see Master Chief on other platforms.
PC gamers have enjoyed small tastes of the Halo franchise, but don't expect more to come anytime soon.
"Right now we are focused on Xbox One," explained Ross.
"We're listening to the PC fans, but right now this is all focused on Xbox One," she reaffirmed.
And it would appear Halo's time on Xbox 360 has also come to an end, with 343 franchise community manager Andy Dudynsky posting on Halo Waypoint to confirm we won't be seeing The Master Chief Collection on the old-gen platform.
"We are dedicated to bringing a full and fun experience to Halo: The...
Will hopefully have something to talk about in the next year.
"It's a team of about eight guys we have in the studio who are trying to build the next big IP for us," Needham said.
"They're working on a couple of new prototypes for completely different games - not Fable related."
This small team is "working on new games we can put within Fable Legends as well."
With a team this small you'd imagine whatever it's creating would be way off, but Needham hopes Lionhead will have something to talk about in "this next year".
"There is great IP in Lionhead's history, it's just spotty who owns what," he explained....
Check regularly for the future addition of N64 games, says Nintendo.
"Check back regularly for the latest releases, including the future addition of titles from the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64 systems," reads the message.

N64 games were part of the Wii's VC line-up from day one, giving players the chance to play Super Mario 64.
It remains to be seen if GameCube games will ever be offered via the Wii U VC.
29 games available on day one, with more to follow in 2014.
The system's heavy hitters such as Titanfall, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 and Ryse: Son of Rome are all featured. Before the year is out Japanese gamers can also look forward to Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, CoD Advanced Warfare, Minecraft and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
A Day One Kinect console bundle, which also includes Titanfall and Kinect Sports Rivals, will retail at 49,980 yen, whilst a Kinect-less system will be sold for 39,980 yen.

"We're not putting a numerical limit on how many varied figures we can launch," says Reggie.
In an interview with Polygon, Reggie discussed the potential for Nintendo’s new toys-to-life range. "I think Amiibo can have a significant impact on driving the install base for Wii U on the sales of figures themselves," he said. "I think this could be a significant business opportunity."
Fils-Aime was also asked why it took Nintendo two years to bring its NFC toys to market, being beaten to the punch by Skylanders and Disney Infinity along the way. "One, we wanted to be thoughtful in our approach," he responded. “In our view, going down this path you have to have...
The first game to utilise Origin Game Time, the new program offering free and complete access to selected titles.
Users of Origin are able to play the full game for free as long as time remains on their Game Time clock. A maximum of 48 hours of Game Time is being offered for Titanfall this weekend.

Origin Game Time games will appear on Origin's Free Games page when they’re available to download.
This is the first production from the company, and will be internationally distributed by Content Media Corp, the company responsible for the distribution of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
