Busy, busy, busy – but Out This Week is (relatively) on time. After a couple of quiet weeks, the video game industry has opted to pack everything into a single week, with the Game Developers Conference, a special Project Morpheus event, and more new releases than we care to count all dropping at once. Fortunately, we thrive under pressure...

Oodles of awesome indie games, too

Sony's brilliant PlayStation 4 exclusive action role-playing release Bloodborne will be repulsing retail in the not too distance future, but if you can't wait to lay your fingers on From Software's fearsome foray, don't worry – as it'll be on display at EGX Rezzed next week. The UK-based convention – which is...

A plague on your spade

Here's another reason to dig into Shovel Knight when it launches on PlayStation platforms in April: it'll be succeeded by a free expansion named Plague of Shadows. Due out in Q2 2015, the complimentary campaign will see you assume the role of the Plague Knight, a "villainous master of alchemy" seeking to concoct

Dressed to kill

3D Realms' forthcoming isometric shooter Bombshell still looks like the kind of game that 90s smackheads would swoon over – but at least protagonist Shelly Harrison has learned that naturism and an occupation as a bomb disposal specialist don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Packing a less pronounced Ellie Goulding-esque haircut...

CyberConnect2 currently recruiting

CyberConnect2 is one of those developers that's hardly put a foot wrong in recent years. Mostly known for its consistently solid Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, the studio also created the equally solid Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, and the bombastic original property, Asura's Wrath. It's a team with...

Limited edition also revealed

We quite liked Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD when it launched on PlayStation 3 and Vita last year. The PS2 classics have aged surprisingly well, with the first game's often emotional story still managing to hold its own. If your hunger for teen romance and rather epic boss battles hasn't yet been sated, however, you'll be...

Open the floodgates

Epic Games' game creation suite Unreal Engine was enormously successful in the previous generation, but it's found its grip on the industry loosening of late. With the uber-popular Unity providing a gateway for fledgling developers, and most big publishers like EA Games, Konami, and Capcom building proprietary technology, the...

This game's going to cut you down

We all know that Bloodborne's going to be tougher than a reinforced ginger nut, but Sony's clearly banking on bringing in some more casual players with this TV spot. The clip includes foul beasts, a rambling narrator stuck in staccato mode, and some light rock to round things out. It's nice to see the firm actually...

Drink the night away

Gaining cult success around the more niche areas of the Internet, VA-11 HALL-A, a cyberpunk bartending simulator, has managed to stir up quite a fuss. Originally created as part of a cyberpunk game jam, it proved so popular that the developer's making it into a full blown game. Prepping up to its final release, a new trailer...

Eating John Malkovich

If there's one thing that was missing from every previous Call of Duty DLC pack, it was the ability to play as that one guy from the first two seasons of The Walking Dead. Also, John Malkovich, whose performance as himself in Being John Malkovich was the part that he was born to play. Celebrity cameos aside, Havoc adds some of...

Expect more information tomorrow, maybe

This is where PlayStation needs to improve. We were expecting March's roster of PlayStation Plus freebies to be announced last week, but the platform holder failed to deliver an update. This wasn't so bad, as SCEE's ever approachable Fred Dutton provided a line of communication with European consumers,...

Bring the beat back

Ah, the eternal conundrum: how do you make a game accessible to casual players without sacrificing the depth for hardcore fans? Amplitude thinks that it's found the solution in the form of Team Play, with this brand new trailer including the first ever footage of the title's 2v2 and 3v1 gameplay modes. The results are, er,...

Do want

Regular readers will know that we've been ranting and raving about Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth for a while now. The Vita exclusive is a turn based role-playing game where you raise, train, and battle a team of Digimon. It also looks fantastic, visually. Fortunately, if you've been eager to see the title in action, Weekly Famitsu recently...

Can't complain

Dragon Quest Heroes may have only just released in Japan, but that hasn't stopped publisher Square Enix from announcing some free DLC. The content, which is due out this week, focuses on a sub-story that features Alena and Kiryl, two of the game's playable characters who originally hail from Dragon Quest IV. With any luck, the...

The console that won't die

If you've been looking to sell off a dusty and possibly decrepit PlayStation 2, you may be in luck as GameStop is once again accepting trade-ins when it comes to Sony's last-last-gen console. The best-selling home console of all time is apparently wanted due to high demand from consumers. As you'd expect, though, you...
