The leak has you salivating - it's almost too good to be true. Might PlayStation Plus in EU territories really contain both Bioshock Infinite and Metro: Last Light? There's only one barrier stopping you from getting too excited: it's yet to be officially confirmed. Today, Sony's Fred Dutton has confirmed that they're hoping to have the Instant Game Collection announcement up tomorrow.

A brand new Jailbreak hack allows for users of iOS 7 to play controller-compatible games with a PlayStation Dualshock 3 controller. This is great news for those that want a controller for their phone but don't necessarily want to buy something new to go with it. It's easy to set up - presuming you already know the basics of a hacked phone - and will no doubt change the way some people play games on their phone.

You just know behind-the-scenes conversations must be odd when a major part of a company like Microsoft signs an online petition to bring the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 REmix HD Collection to 360. That's exactly what's happened. Phil Spencer took to Twitter today, replying to someone who linked him the Kingdom Hearts 360 petition we covered a few days ago, confirming that he signed it.

Final Fantasy XIII wasn't everybody's cup of tea. Square Enix managed to fix the most common problems with Final Fantasy XIII-2, and there were still people that weren't satisfied with their purchase (or by the trailers they watched on YouTube, at least). Before you make the same mistake again with Lightning Returns, consider downloading the demo, available on Xbox 360 today and PlayStation 3 tomorrow.

It looks like the February content for Europe's PlayStation Plus content may have been leaked, and boy is it a good'n. There's enough here to keep you going for the full year, let alone just for February, and owners of each console are going to be hard pushed to get through it all. Still, it's hard to deny the value, even if it just sits in your download list for the next six months.

Assassin's Creed Liberation HD might have been a good idea six months ago. Take a popular, critically successful Vita game and port it to consoles and PC. Why not? There are a lot of people that wanted to see this chunk of the story but weren't willing to by a handheld for it. Sure, six months ago it would have gone down a treat, and would have nicely bridged the gap between Assassin's Creed III and IV. With Black Flag on the market though, Liberation HD ...

Yearly franchises rarely manage to surprise, but this year Assassin's Creed did just that. The franchise that originally had you climbing up rectangular buildings in the Middle East has now taken to the waves, adding ships, exploration and naval combat aplenty. It wasn't a change that happened over night, but Black Flag shows how far the franchise has come, and, as our view at the top our pirate ship attests, it has come an awfully long way.

It's no surprise that users with early access to an upcoming game won't be allowed to share screens, video, opinions or even details about said game ahead of its release, but, yup, Titanfall will be the same. Only made noteworthy by the fact the developers took to Twitter to confirm it, it seems some fans are desperate to share their results.

A lot was made of the "irresponsibility of publishers" when Square Enix announced Tomb Raider was a stinking failure (although they didn't use those words). Despite the fact it had managed to push millions and millions of units in a matter of months, it had still not been profitable. While Crystal Dynamics' latest had garnered sales most developers would never even think possible, it still managed to sit in the red.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition might contain improved graphics, a new Lara and all the DLC, but there's one area in which it certainly isn't "definitive." Scot Amos of Crystal Dynamics has today confirmed that the new-gen version of last year's Tomb Raider reboot will be limited to 30 frames per second.
