Stonefly review - a bug's life with all its grind and glory
This gorgeous microcosmic mech game just about survives its more frustrating moments.High up where the branches get icy, a snowstorm set in. The world was suddenly a thing of whiteness. Plodding on quite lost, I found a stranger in furs who offered to show me the way forward. We walked together, him giving occasional directions that I followed, the wind tugging at us as we went. For a few minutes the storm gave us space: there was nothing to do but find the path through this rolling blankness.

Watch Dogs PS3: has last-gen hardware had its day?

What happened to Brink 2 and 3?
Two years ago, Splash Damage boasted about Brink being a "landmark franchise" for Bethesda that would stride on with Brink 2 and Brink 3. "We already have big plans for that," an eager creative director Richard Ham spewed. But now, months away from Brink's May arrival, Splash Damage CEO Paul Wedgwood gives off an altogether different message. "Right now we're just focused on Brink 1, on completing that game and finishing it and making sure we do a really good job of it,"

Bloodborne bug makes game easier if left running too long
There's a bug in Bloodborne that makes the game noticeably easier if left running for too long.
Potentially a memory leak, the glitch was spotted by Redditer meatballz, who posited that if you leave the game running for more than 12 hours or so the bosses will cease to function properly and use only a fraction of their movesets. "There's a memory leak issue in this game that causes bosses to have a reduced moveset after the game has been running for a long time,"

Towards the beginning of Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker, an unnamed soldier hands a man from the opposing side a coffee-filled mug. After dealing with countless hardships throughout the story, filled with destruction and death, the soldier tells the man, "It's the little things that make life worth living, don't you think so?" This single statement was enough to bring me to tears. Final Fantasy 14 is one of those little things in my life that has brought so much joy and comfort in the past two years of hardships around the world.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
Final Fantasy's feathery mascot has played poster-chick to some of Square Enix's most unlikely genre excursions. From Mario Kart style driving in Chocobo Racing, Rogue-like dungeoneering with Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon through to the Monopoly-style board game Chocobo De Dice there seems no limit to the situations and styles Square-Enix is able to crowbar the yellow chicken into.
United by a cutesy storybook style, the games in this chibi sub-brand have often been dismissed by critics and consumers alike as little more than pretty but shallow childish fancies.
