New Star Soccer - the mobile sports game that beat out the likes of FIFA and Football Manager at the BAFTAs this year - has recieved a new major update that changes and enhances its award winning gameplay, as well as adding new features to keep you addicted all over again.

We take a closer look at Bruce Wayne in this new TV spot for Batman: Arkham Origins, at his childhood and at the years running up to when he became Batman. Impressive, considering the video only runs at 51 seconds.

As we reported several months ago, Batman Arkham City (and Asylum) are being converted to Steamworks. The update happened tonight (next time you log into Steam, it'll start the download), but there's a real downside that's likely to annoy people more than GFWL ever did.

MyGPTeam is a Grand Prix title with a difference. Available on the Google Play store via Android mobile devices, it gives you the chance to win races against people from all over the world without needing to hold your phone like a steering wheel or get used to any complicated controls. It's an online casual free-to-play driving title that challenges you to keep up with your opponents, and in terms of gameplay, it does it very well.

Naughty Dog’s Eric Monacelli has said that there a PlayStation 4 version of The Last of Us is not in development, and, in fact, there are “no plans” to release a next-gen version of the critical hit. This will disappoint quite a few people who were looking to double dip, although there’s no doubt at some point The Last of Us will be playable on PS4 (either through a 1080p/60FPS re-release, or via Gaikai). That doesn’t mean it ...

Ridge Racer 3D - now over a couple of years old - is staunch reminder of two things. First, arcade racers are awesome. More titles should drop the realism and rap music of recent racing titles and should instead employ someone to shout down the speakers at you.

The latest edition of Famitsu has been released and it contains the first review score for Sonic Lost World. Although the review has yet to be translated, we can see from the score that it's been reviewed very positively, getting 9/9/9/9. By comparison, Sonic Generations got 8/9/9/9 and Unleashed got 9/9/9/7.

Ubisoft have announced that two of their biggest games of 2013 - Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell Blacklist - sold below expectations. In a call to investors today, they revealed that both games had had low sales, although as far as we can tell, they gave little explanation as to why that might have happened.

For all those amongst you feeling charitable, there's a new Humble Bundle available. The Humble Bundle with Android 7 doesn't quite match the quality of some of the more recent bundles, but it sure as hell beats the comedy collection they did. If you fancy some decent games at a relatively small price, look no further.

Ubisoft have announced that their not-Assassin's-Creed hacker blockbuster Watch Dogs will be delayed until March 2014. Considering it made up a pretty prolific PlayStation 4 bundle, people are understandably angry and confused. Have they now missed out on their PlayStation 4 console? Will there be the chance to switch to something else? Will Amazon et al be able to keep up with the change in demand?
