Have you heard? Titanfall, the blockbuster AAA title from the people behind Call of Duty, the mech-based shooter that's supposed to push the Xbox One's overall launch period, doesn't even run at 1080p! It's been a huge talking point for people of a certain disposition since it was discovered a few weeks ago, although it might not be as permanent as you might think.

File sizes for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes have been leaked, and they're not quite as meaty as you might expect. Despite the revelation that the main story could be beaten in a matter of hours, many fans had hoped that replayabiltiy and exploration would more than make up for that. Now, that's not quite certain.

Surprise, surprise. Flappy Bird, the cultural phenomenon that came and went in just a few short weeks, might be making its way back to the app store. Its creator had originally said he couldn't handle the sudden fame, although it was estimated that he was racking in tens of thousands of dollars in ad revenue every day. Now, after creating an artificial demand for his game, he's let the dust settle and is considering bringing it back in the near future.

CD PROJECT have today announced that they'll be delaying The Witcher 3 into 2015. Although there was never a firm release date for the project, it was expected to be in stores in time for Christmas.

It looks like Titanfall might have had quite the launch. With so many people logging on Xbox Live to download patches and shoot each other up from massive death robots, the online service has come to a grinding halt. Sorry, that's not quite how the official channels have put it - Xbox Live Core Components are currently limited.

There aren't many games that let you build up amazing rollercoaster rides that end with the track suddenly dropping out and the death of thousands of your guests. That's what makes Rollercoaster Tycoon such an important franchise. Because if you don't terrorize innocent avatars, who on earth will? It's been a while since the last outing was released - almost 10 years - so fans may be happy to learn that Atari are teasing a new entry in the series.

South Park: The Stick of Truth has done exactly what it deserved and has jumped to the top spot in the UK charts. Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman have leapt straight to first place, proving that a licencing attempt need not be a waste of money, and that constant delays are little in the face of a decent game. Of course, being a recognisable March release probably went a long way towards helping as well.

A leaked image from the official Gaikai website might hint at the future pricing on the PlayStation Now service, although there's nothing certain about it, so read with a grain of salt. The rather blurry looking picture gives up the probably temporary rental prices of Uncharted 3 and Far Cry 3, although without more information it's difficult to guess exactly what you'll get for those prices.

Video gaming's first yellow circular celebrity has turned 30 this year, and instead of getting trashed with friends Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, he's taking a trip down memory lane, through the highlights (and low-lights) of his prestigious career.

Sony and Naughty Dog have today announced that they'll be bringing The Last of Us to cinemas. No information about the actual adaptation has been released, although fans will be happy to know Naughty Dog are keeping hold of the reigns to make sure things don't end up completely sucking. Screen Gems (Resident Evil, Underworld) has been brought on as distributor, while Neil Druckmann, creative director on the game, will be writing the script. Naughty Dog ...
