There's been some weird stuff happening with Ubisoft's Watch Dogs. Initially met with extreme excitement, things died down slightly as more videos were released, and then it was delayed weeks before launch. Despite the fact that it seemed the open world hackster (real genre name) was finished, there are new rumours abound that Ubisoft have cancelled their Wii U version of the game.

We know absolutely nothing about Uncharted 4, except that it probably won't come out in 2014. This was confirmed today by a Naughty Dog spokesperson on the PlayStation Blog, and is probably a huge blow to many a PlayStation 4 owner who was excited to rejoin Nathan Drake and co in a next-gen adventure.

There's been a new video released for Shadow of Mordor, and it looks fantastic. Boy, we had good reason to be nervous, but it looks as though Monolith are going to deliver. It looks familiar, but given that it looks similar to one of the best games of last generation - Assassin's Creed 2 - that's no surprise. Perhaps a bit too similar. A team lead on Assassin's Creed 2 has spotted a thing or two that shouldn't be there, and is asking questions.

A few weeks ago we ran a story saying that the new-gen version of Tomb Raider would run at only 30FPS. That has turned out to be only half true. On the Xbox One, 30FPS is about the limit. On PlayStation 4, you can expect anything up to 60FPS.

Mice like cheese and anybody who's seen an episode of Tom and Jerry knows the lengths they'll go to get some. They don't mind disfiguring cats, using the dark arts, blackmailing relatives... so long as their bellies are full at the end of a long day, they odn't mind who they have to step on to get at them. World of Cheese is a puzzle game, spliced with a lot of hidden object for good measure. The only objective: get that cheese!

The Dualshock 4 has a great big light on it. It was one of the first things announced about the controller and there are basically three functions behind it. You can differentiate between players, it interacts with the camera and, in certain games, it's utilized by devs as a kind of secondary output. Killzone, for instance, shows your health status via this little light. Suddenly, people are asking why any of this matters, and are begging Sony to let them turn ...

Gone Home seems like an obvious candidate for the 3D VR set Oculus Rift, the little device that's already revolutionizing gaming for some people (or so you'd believe if you spent any time on Reddit). Still, it's not as simple as that, and because of the extra work that would be needed to make Gone Home a "good" Rift game, the developer has announce active development has halted.

The leak has you salivating - it's almost too good to be true. Might PlayStation Plus in EU territories really contain both Bioshock Infinite and Metro: Last Light? There's only one barrier stopping you from getting too excited: it's yet to be officially confirmed. Today, Sony's Fred Dutton has confirmed that they're hoping to have the Instant Game Collection announcement up tomorrow.

A brand new Jailbreak hack allows for users of iOS 7 to play controller-compatible games with a PlayStation Dualshock 3 controller. This is great news for those that want a controller for their phone but don't necessarily want to buy something new to go with it. It's easy to set up - presuming you already know the basics of a hacked phone - and will no doubt change the way some people play games on their phone.

You just know behind-the-scenes conversations must be odd when a major part of a company like Microsoft signs an online petition to bring the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 REmix HD Collection to 360. That's exactly what's happened. Phil Spencer took to Twitter today, replying to someone who linked him the Kingdom Hearts 360 petition we covered a few days ago, confirming that he signed it.
