Titanfall's first DLC pack, Expedition, will release next month, and according to Respawn's co-founder Vince Zampella it's being launched in part to satisfy the players who "burned through" the main game's content faster than the studio could have predicted.
Are you more of an Artificer or a Knight Enchanter?.
Goodness gravy, BioWare has seen fit to release almost 30 new Dragon Age: Inquisition screenshots, dotted around the official site. Some of them appear to be captures from the most recent trailer, others are brand new. There's a great one of Morrigan doing a Morticia Addams impression, while Varric pouts in front of a majestic sunset. Kissy kissy.
Is CSC Global operating on behalf of Square Enix?.
Time to dust off that grappling line and strap on a parachute. The domain "JustCause3gAme.com" was registered earlier this week by CSC Corporate Domains, possibly on behalf of license holder Square Enix - the publisher has employed CSC for this purpose in the past.
Microsoft's Phil Spencer promises "more news soon".
Rejoice, all you lovable blockheads who've poured hours, weeks, months into crafting intricate cuboid worlds on your 360 version of Minecraft - every single square can now come with you onto the game's upcoming Xbox One version.
An introduction to the partly holographic War Games map.
Stand by once again for Titanfall, Pilots. Respawn has released screenshots of the game's Expedition DLC pack, which hits Xbox One next month.
With live commentary and perspective switching.
What would you do, if you were a massive leathery gorilla with the ability to spit fire and hoik boulders around? You'd probably make a bit of a spectacle of yourself, wouldn't you - but as regards Turtle Rock's Evolve, in which a single monster and four human players slug it out, the underhand approach may be preferable.
Also reveal a brand new enemy type, the Redcap.
Lionhead has sneaked out a few new Fable Legends screenies, care of a fan Easter Egg hunt and a witheringly technical blog about the Unreal Engine.
Or has it greenlighted a Windows Phone game from Brimstone Interactive?.
Earlier this week, it was discovered that Microsoft had filed a trademark for "Eden Falls" in the US, with reference to "entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game".
Plus a "large number" of third party Unreal Engine 4 titles.
Epic has a "high end" game in development that will showcase the power of the new Unreal Engine, according to the firm's co-founder Tim Sweeney, much as Gears of War wowed players back at the dawn of the Xbox 360 era.

"He's holding Cortana's chip...".
Halo 5 is such a tightly-wrapped secret that even Steve Downes, voice of Master Chief, can't say for certain where the Reclaimer trilogy will take us next. He's got a few insights to share, however, based on his time as John-117 in Halo 4. Watch out - spoilers are incoming.
Come fly with me.
You might remember the two-part GTA 5 secrets round-up I did many moons ago when the game first released. Perhaps you remember one secret in particular - the mystery surrounding the Mount Chiliad mural, where players could spy seemingly innocuous etchings depicting eggs and jetpacks and UFOs in the cable car station. Turns out they may not be so innocuous after all.
Activision say the as-yet unannounced title will be "next-gen first".
This year's Call of Duty, which developer Sledgehammer has been working on for almost three years, has appeared online for the very first time in a pretty impressive close up character model shot that developer Sledgehammer claims represents actual in-game characters. Next gen pores - we've arrived, people.
No sign of Microsoft's mystery big name Japanese-made exclusive.
The Xbox One will finally go on sale in Japan on 4th September, around 10 months after its launch in the UK, North America and Australia. Microsoft has also unveiled a partial list of confirmed games in the latest issue of Famitsu, via Gematsu - it includes Halo for Xbox One and Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive, though it's not clear whether these will be available at launch.
"There's a lot of baggage," cautions BioWare's Mark Darrah.
BioWare's approach to love interests in games continues to be a source of interest, amusement... and heartbreak. The forthcoming Inquisition's lovey-dovey sequences come in three flavours, according to one PAX attendee - squeaky clean affectionate romances, romances that are just for laughs (I'm very familiar with this category), and the devilish, ever-so-delicious "forbidden" romances, which generally involve a rival character.
Also features the worst Varric quote ever.
BioWare has released a new trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which dances around such "core gameplay pillars" as melee, sorcery, dragon battles, exploration and mounts. Also: the most deflating attempt at a sunglasses-worthy movie quote ever. You'll know it when you hear it. Take the rain with the shine.
"We don't want to have to rush and only put out a handful of tracks.".
Bummed out by today's announcement that the next GRID game won't appear on Xbox One or PS4? Be of good cheer. Codemasters will ultimately bring the racing series to current generation consoles, but only when it has something "really great" to show.
More Xbox One update news at E3 2014.
Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has stuck up for Xbox One's operating system and interface, assuring Redditors that "we will continue to add more and more features to Xbox One - features you've seen on Xbox 360 and new ones that are only possible on Xbox One". Adding features from Xbox 360 isn't as straightforward as hitting "CTRL+C", however.
Slam dunk or slam this junk?.
Another week, another Deal of the Week, another opportunity to prematurely impoverish yourself ahead of Friday night. The excellent NBA 2K14 and Need for Speed: Rivals are up for grabs this time. The former had a few online difficulties at launch - would any existing players care to chime in on how it holds up today?
