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.

With its glitchy enemies, lack of difficulty and "anybody can run it" graphics, Aliens: Colonial Marines was definitely game of the year.

There's a scene in Beyond: Two Souls in which Ellen Page takes a shower. A shower is hardly sexually charged, of course, and nothing is actually shown in-game, but for all intents and purposes, Ellen Page is naked on screen. It is, at best, a minor titillation for people looking to be titillated.

The final two assassin’s in Batman: Arkham Origins have been revealed, according to a couple of screenshots released by All Games Beta. Although nothing has been confirmed, it seems Killer Croc and Lady Shiva will be the final additions to round out Batman’s rogues gallery in the third installment of the Arkham franchise.  Croc and Shiva join Firefly, Copperhead, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Electrocutioner and Bane, all of whom have joined forces with the sadistic  Black Mask.
