As the first signs of fall become unavoidable, Namco Bandai has a grim 'n' chilly new prologue clip from Dark Souls to mark the lengthening nights. Just as the initial backstory teaser detailed the formation of the world as Dark Souls knows it, so this one introduces some of the storied personages of the game's mythology. Just don't come crying about how the Furtive Pygmy's easily forgotten – because it's right there, being furtive, near the end of the video...
How did Ratchet & Clank survive the great onslaught of “Plucky Hero and Pint-Sized Wiseass” platformers that marked the last generation of consoles? Three words: ridiculous freakin' weaponry. Guns bigger than the protagonists and more inventive than a Thomas Edison/Nikola Tesla brainstorming session are what's kept the series going, and Sony knows this – which is why it's released the latest in a steady stream of trailers devoted to the arsenal of the upcoming Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One...

Well actually, it's the perfect trailer for Modern Warfare multiplayer in a whole lot of ways. Not necessarily always in the ways that it maybe hopes but, well, click on and I'll break it down.

Driver: San Francisco is out today in the UK, allowing gamers across the nation to leap into the bodies of random road-users across a gorgeous, sun-drenched San Francisco. Not that you'd know that from the actual launch trailer, which makes precisely 0.1 references to it during its 80 seconds. As in, it looks like Tanner has a headache. Well, come watch the trailer, then let me tell you why you should be giving this game a chance.
Here's two new character teasers for Street Fighter x Tekken, which continues to test your knowledge of the two rival franchises butting heads in the upcoming crossover.

The house that built L.A. Noire may soon be shuttered for good, as the Sydney developer Team Bondi has officially entered administration. Filed with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission yesterday, the drastic action has left the studio with the unenviable task of attracting a (very) last minute buyer, or else be picked apart to death in order to pay its creditors...

PlayStation Network and Sony's streaming music video service Qriocity, the
