Pokemon X and Y have been out for a short while now, and it's no secret that the Poke-freaks out there have already managed to get through to the end. There's no doubt whatsoever that these people would consume every single piece of Pokemon content going, so it only makes sense that there would be DLC for X and Y, right?

Assassin's Creed Liberation HD will be released digitally in mid-January across multiple platforms, and if you're definitely interested in buying it for PC, you can jump on Steam right now and pre-purchase it.

If absolutely nothing else, this 17 minutes of gameplay footage from Batman: Arkham Origins proves beyond a shadow of the doubt that it is more of the same. Those worried by Rocksteady working on something else, or by the inclusion of multiplayer, need not worry. Watch this video. If you loved Arkham City, you're going to love Arkham Origins.

There's a Finnish games convention over the next few weeks, and a run down of the events reveals Frozenbyte will be announcing Trine 2 for PlayStation 4. Whoops!

Thinking of picking up the Deus Ex Director's Cut? It's probably worth knowing that people with some pretty powerful rigs are finding the game runs terribly at times, with frame rate drops where there definitely shouldn't be. Some are saying the port is obviously rushed, and given its original announcement as a Wii U exclusive, it's not much of a surprise.

A lot of us have been asking just when DayZ Standalone will be released. The top mod has been being converted to a full game for quite some time now, and apart from "when it's ready," and "soon," it doesn't seem we have much information on an actual time and date that we'll be able to buy it. We still don't have a set-in-stone calender entry, but it might be closer than expected.

One of the biggest problems with Puppeteer, at least in my experience, is that people go in expecting it to be a lot like LittleBigPlanet. Some people I've spoken to about it have dismissed it entirely, thinking that is had been developed by Media Molecule. That crowd cheers and changing sets make up a huge part of its aesthetic mean that some are quick to point out the similarities.

Platform games are having something of a return to popularity, and it's about time. While Mario and Sonic remained regular parts of the gaming community, the likes of Rayman disappeared completely for a while. Even Donkey Kong - one of Nintendo's most recognisable characters- was resigned to guest appearances, mini-games, bongo playing and Super Smash Brothers.

Amazon are giving $10 to those that have been "inconvenienced" by the Watch Dogs delay. An email was sent out today to customers who had previously pre-ordered the Watch Dogs bundle.

Fancy trading in your dust-covered Kinect next time you visit a GAME store? It's probably best you keep a hold of it - the biggest gaming retailer in the UK are giving just £3 credit for Microsoft's motion sensor, or £2.30 cash. That's less than $4.
