Or perhaps you’re two on one in front of goal and your teammate carelessly strays offside… Well FIFA 14 looks to rectify that with a new feature: ‘Teammate Intelligence.’ Your defenders will not only be more adept at marking opposition players, but they will now recognise the chance to offer support in all areas of the pitch as well.

The HTML5 version of the demo suffers from being too similar to its mobile counterpart. There’s…

Mars War Logs is a decent looking action-RPG available at the reasonable price of £14.99 on Steam, and available soon, digitally, on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version of the game has had its retail launch today as well, although I imagine it basically boils down to sticking a code into Steam anyway. Mars War Logs tells the story of a planet in the midst of a civil war. In a world where water is scarce, corporations battle…
