Editor's note: Final review code for Civilization 6 was only supplied to Eurogamer late yesterday afternoon, and we'll be working to get a full review up on the site early next week. In the meantime, here are impressions culled from a near-final build supplied earlier by 2K.
There's always been something magical to me about the first 200 turns of a game of Civilization 5. I've seen some people claim victory in that time, though I am no such power player.

Update 11/4/21 3:00pm: We've spent the last few days testing the Crysis Remastered upgrade for PlayStation 5 and can confirm that overall, we're looking at the same results for the Sony platform as we are for Xbox Series X, with a couple of changes brought about by the fact that PS5 retains the resolution settings for each mode as found on PlayStation 4 Pro - a common situation on so-called 'back-compat plus' titles.

While videogame sequels have never quite gained the erratic reputation of their respective cinematic experiences, there's always a fear that a follow up won't quite hit the heights of its predecessor. Not so Electronic Arts' and Visceral's Dead Space 2, ten years old this year and rightly regarded as one of the finest sequels of its generation. Having survived the many trials and dangers of the first game, engineer Isaac Clarke awakens three years later on the Sprawl, a huge space station in orbit around the Saturn moon of Titan.

Bizarro, the backwards-speaking supervillain (hero?) reflection of Superman is now in Injustice 2.
Bizarro is a premier skin character who costs 6000 Source Crystals to unlock. Premier skins transform existing roster characters into other DC characters, with unique voices and dialogue. Bizarro is a premier skin for Superman, which makes sense given he's, well, a bizarre opposite logic talking Superman clone.
NetherRealm has done a great job getting Bizarro's look and moves right.

Modern games based on the perceived technical limitations of vintage systems are not uncommon. However, it takes a certain kind of courage - maybe even a tiny little bit of madness - to not only emulate the look and feel of yesteryear's classics, but to produce games for systems long past their prime. While such endeavours do happen in the indie- and homebrew-sector, it's unheard of for bigger companies to dabble in this sort of development.

It's possible to get your PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller working wirelessly with your PlayStation 3 following a recent update to the console.
Sony recently issued a new update for the PS3 that quietly added support for the DualShock 4 controller without the use of a micro USB cable. Previously you had to use a cable for it to work.
Reddit user shafiggy16 noticed the change, and we've verified it works.

Marvel's Avengers wasn't the only beta being played at the weekend. No, the original Birdman was back for a pre-release trial of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2.
Just as with Avengers, people have begun poking around within Tony Hawk's own demo files for clues to his full game - and found a fan-favourite character is back with a new look. That's right, YouTube star Jack Black will be playable in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 as Officer Dick (thanks, CheezhOfficial).

Some enterprising soul studying computer science has put together a modification that allows two people to run around The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion together.
Called MultiTES4, the mod puts two players in the same world, where they appear as NPCs to one another. Future versions aim to include support for eight players, and even competitive game modes like deathmatch and capture-the-flag.
It's still in alpha though, so there's a bit of a way to go.

Rust has sold over 12 million copies.
Making the announcement in a new year round-up, developer Facepunch revealed that as well as selling 12,481,079 copies of the game, it's also sold over one million DLC packs - a surprisingly modest number, given the number of people invested in the vanilla game, perhaps? - and has over 400,000 users on its Discord server.
The rundown also revealed the team has banned over 600,000 accounts from the game and topped 1.
