Square Enix and PlayStation have released a Final Fantasy X HD comparison video showcasing the differences between the PS2 and PS3 versions of Final Fantasy X. Showing off the introduction, you'll see clearer character models, better lighting and textures and more screen real estate.

Sony have today announced that The Last of Us sales have surpassed 3.4 million, both physical and digital. This is a pretty fantastic achievement for Naughty Dog and for Sony, who put a lot of marketing into a new IP at the tail end of a generation. The Last of Us was critically acclaimed, and it seems like it might just end up as a commercial success as well.

Lovefilm have today released an email to subscribers explaining their changing gaming services, and also apologising for not releasing the news themselves. You may have already heard reports about changes to Games rental as part of the LOVEFiLM service. We're very sorry if any information about service changes reached you by third party or media reports, rather than first coming from us.

Apogee Software have discovered the Blake Stone source code and are releasing it to fans. Blake Stone: Planet Strike was a 1994 FPS from around the same time as Doom. Nearly twenty years after its release, the source code (which was presumed missing) will allow fans to look into how Blake Stone was built.

Final Fantasy VII is a classic. Its story, its score, its mechanics - for many this was the game that defined what RPGs should be. With another re-release, this time on Steam, Square Enix proves time is no barrier to a decent game, although a little polish might serve to get rid of the dust.

Painkiller: Hell and Damnation is an arena shooter not entirely unlike Unreal Tournament or Quake. It's a corner of the FPS genre that's been ignored in mainstream shooters for the vast majority of this generation, with the exception of Unreal Tournament 3, which VGChartz tells me only sold around a million units on consoles, and Serious Sam, a franchise which has evened out at around the 60-70 mark on Metacritic.

A Wii U Emulator has been released, allowing people to play Wii U games from their PC. The Wii U Emulator seems to work, although we don't recommend it.

Boomerang has seen a lot of new business since Lovefilm announced it was dropping game rentals earlier this week. Boomerang is a game-only service.

Farming Simulator for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gets hotter than anybody might have ever expected in this brand new Summer trailer.

Garfield has eaten too much - as always - and has decided that he needs to take a nap - as always. He's not likely to get an easy sleep, however, because as soon as his head hits the pillow, he's transported to a mysterious dream world where he can fly by flapping his arms, collect flying lasagne, dodge UFOs and pay exuberant prices for costumes that don't actually matter. Welcome to Garfield's Wild Ride.
