Remember the game where you slid a paddle along the bottom of the screen, rebounding a ball into blocks above, breaking them with each successful hit? That game is Breakout, and it's 37 years old.
An odd birthday for Google to decide to celebrate - perhaps it's running out of ideas - but celebrate it Google is. To see how, type "Atari Breakout" into the Google Image search box.

Destiny 2's free-to-play New Light version launches today, and it begins very differently to the Destiny 2 which veteran players will know. Up until now, Destiny 2 has begun with the start of its Red War campaign. This saw the Destiny 1 Tower destroyed, and required you to complete a number of story missions before the game properly opened up.
Destiny 2: New Light does away with the need to do all that.

Life Is Strange photo locations unlock the game's many optional Trophies, and aren't your typical hidden collectible; each one is cleverly embedded in the game's episodic world, requiring you to position people and places in just the right way - sometimes using time travel - to line up the perfect shot for budding photographer Max to take.
With Life Is Strange now available on mobile, there's no excuse to play one of 2015's best releases.

Today, at Minecon Live, the developer announced a new update plan for the game named Seasonal Adventures, which will feature both free and premium rewards if you purchase an Adventure Pass. Completing new weekly challenges will earn you Adventure Points - though Mojang said you'll also simply get these by playing the game normally.
These points then unlock rewards in the Adventure Pass, such as new skins, capes, pets, emotes and flairs that trigger on certain conditions.

Last week UK developer Ninja Theory unveiled its new game, Hellblade, during Sony's press conference.
It did so with a trailer that showed off a character that reminded some of one of Ninja Theory's old games: Heavenly Sword.
Heavenly Sword is a 2007 PlayStation 3 exclusive developed by Ninja Theory. It stars Nariko, who wields the Heavenly Sword to defeat her enemies in brutal melee combat.
Seven years later we have Hellblade, a game currently being developed just for PlayStation 4 by Ninja Theory.

Do you remember Sound Blaster? For a brief moment in time in the 90s, these sound cards were an essential upgrade for any gaming PC. They gave you a place to plug in your pre-USB joystick for bouts of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, as well as substantially better audio quality than whatever was built into your PC - if you were lucky enough to have anything at all. Nowadays though, even basic motherboards include integrated audio hardware with perfectly fine quality, plenty of inputs and fancy software features - that you've probably never used.

You'd be well within your rights to think Terraria had finally finished updating earlier this year, as developer Re-Logic declared May's big content update was the game's last. But 2020 is full of twists and turns, and so Re-Logic has announced it's releasing a final update. Again. Dubbed "Journey's Actual End", the latest update adds the "final" NPC and several new achievements, along with the usual mix of balance changes and bug fixes.
