If you're looking to plan a vacation over the next few weeks, why not wait and return to the lovely underwater hotspot that is Rapture? Irrational games today announced that Bioshock Infinite's final piece of DLC, Burial At Sea, will be available for download at the end of March - just be sure to prepare yourself for a roller-coaster of plot progression.

What happens when you take a beloved cult series and bastardize it until it suits mass appeal? What happens when you add just enough reference to the original series that fans are interested enough to check it out, so interested that some might even open their wallet to see what surprises are hiding behind a paywall? These are no longer questions that need answering: in releasing Dungeon Keeper for iOS, EA have done us all a favour, showing exactly how not to ...

The 1.6 update hit for the PS4 this morning, and it does surprisingly little - nothing, in fact, if you don't have a camera or a headset, or if you don't watch DVDs. Those who are still enjoying their console regardless of the update or people with cameras and headsets are chuffed to bits over Sony's latest release, but others are less impressed, wondering just where all the features are?

The PlayStation 4 is one of the best consoles ever released, and that's no exaggeration. Even with that high praise though, there are still a few niggles that run fairly common through the community. Why are certain headsets unsupported? Why can't you mute the microphone on the camera? These issues will be rectified tomorrow, alongside others, in the PlayStation 4 firmware 1.60.

The PlayStation 4 version of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition has outsold the Xbox One version by almost double it was revealed today. This is opposite to the original release of the game, which saw the Xbox 360 release as the more popular one.

You know that moment when you're tapping away at a faulty piece of electronic equipment, getting electric shocks, and you're not sure whether you should keep tapping or return it to the manufacturer? PSN user Bogusm had that very problem with his PS4 and, rather than take it back to the retailer to be exchanged for a working console, he took to the PlayStation forums hoping to get advice on the issue.

The new-gen has been slowly building up over the last few months, largely with multi-gen games and indie offerings filling the gaps between big releases. It's surprising that some of these releases are still running on the Unreal Engine 3, but it won't be long until the next iteration of that engine takes to the forefront and starts showing off its new abilities.

The PSP might be a distant memory for some of us, but it sold incredibly well. With well over 70 million units shipped, it remains an important if under-appreciated effort. The PlayStation Vita is way behind that curve, so far behind that even Sony would be surprised if the Vita managed to catch up.

A user on Neogaf yesterday "announced" a series of Microsoft secrets, including Halo 2 Anniversary, Crackdown 3, a Titanfall console and a cheaper Xbox One without an optical disc drive. Naturally Microsoft was unhappy with this, and Kotaku claim an anonymous source tells them they'll be trying to discover the identity of the leaker, and punish him as much as the law allows.

Knack perhaps got more attention that almost all the other PlayStation 4 launch titles put together. It was directed by PS4 lead architect Mark Cerny and is Sony's big non-shooter push for the launch window. Although there have been many things said about Knack - that it's "kiddy," too simple - it definitely has its good points. It's just a shame you'll see most of them in the first ten minutes.
