Yazuka 5 is out and the Bit Socket podcast boys rejoice! Reviews suggest it's the long lost heir to Shenmue and the perfect PS3 swansong.

Hideo Kojima officially leaves Konami and joins Sony within 24 hours. Work already underway on a PS4 exclusive, though then they mention a day later there will be a PC port of it at a later date. So expect an epic, 80 hour $400million game in 2024.

Starcraft, the crowdfunded space game thingy, soars past $100million and I guess that's nice for some of you?

Last ever Smash Bros Direct gives us Cloud to download on the day (his Midgar stage looks EPIC with Summon bosses destroying the stage sporadically) with the last ever characters confirmed as a future Fire Emblem character that literally no-one cares about and Bayonetta. Never really liked the game but the fan service and dedication of Sakurai is immense. Wonder if it'll be his last ever Smash...? Splatoon free DLC to also end in January.

Minecraft out today on Wii U. Mental sale on until New Year's Eve on Nintendo eShop. Loads of the best Curve Digital PC ports are £1.99 like The Swapper, Thomas was alone and The Swindle.
