The first trailer will be released in December. I would fully expect that to be a teaser, i.e. a few sweeping cinematic shots that mean sod all.

Bioware is a glaring example of why the individual people within the entertainment industry should be more reputable than the studio names. Almost nobody who worked on Bioware's best games is still with the company, yet the brand name is put forward as a reason to buy their games. "From the makers of ..." is the kind of misleading statement that keeps getting used (successfully) as a marketing hook.

That sounds like the sort of dynamic world development I've been hoping for. Newly minted clubs spending their money on ambitious targets, rather than just paying more for the same players they'd normally buy, is a very welcome change. I often like to play international management saves to see how the game world develops over time. I'll be interested to find out what happens.

I agree with most of that, aside from factoring in that the 3DS doesn't play GBA games. If that's not important to you, then yes, the 3DS is probably the better bet.

No major companies are still making DS games. There might be the odd hobbyist developer here and there, but nothing on a big scale. There's the original DS, the DS Lite (smaller, longer battery life) and the DSi (plays a few extra digital games, but they can't be purchased now anyway - also lacking in GBA backwards compatibility, which is present in the two aforementioned models). I'd say the DS Lite is probably the best option when it comes to battery life and feature completeness. Something to bear in mind is that there are a lot of people selling fake/hacked game cartridges online. Pokemon games are especially notorious in that regard. There are online guides that detail how to distinguish between official and bootleg games, though.

I think it's safe to say that Aldershot are causing an upset.

Mads Mikkelsen would have been a good Euron Greyjoy if he had been written like he was in the books.

Why should Championship teams have to put up with bad referees?

Watching new Futurama feels a bit like watching new Red Dwarf. They both have interesting sci-fi concepts, but are disappointingly light on good jokes.

There's a new Humble Bundle that includes Disco Elysium, Wildermyth, Chivalry 2, Spiritfarer, Grime, The Forgotten City and Paradise Killer. It's one of the best they've put together in a long time.

Does it have a GM Mode like in OOTP? I find that to be an interesting way to play those games.

To the surprise of nobody, Australia will not bid to host the 2034 World Cup, leaving Saudi Arabia as the only bidder.

I didn't watch the fight, but I was convinced in the built-up that Fury had barely trained and wasn't taking it seriously. For all the credit Ngannou deserves, I think the damage Fury has done to his credibility is the biggest story.

They're busy enough now with "Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City", so I think they'll be fine.

Reviewers seem to like Alan Wake 2.

Snake's Revenge is non-canon, yes. Its inclusion in the collection is the first time Konami has acknowledged it in many years. The interesting thing is that Metal Gear Solid was initially planned to be a remake of the official MSX sequel, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. While Kojima changed his mind and decided to make a new story, MGS shares a lot of narrative and gameplay concepts with its predecessor. It's quite revealing how many ideas were lifted straight from MG2, making me wonder at what point in development the focus was changed. I've always wanted to see the MSX games remade and expanded upon, but Kojima said many times that he wasn't interested in doing so. With Konami remaking Snake Eater, I wonder if such a move might be considered at some point. If, as rumoured, the series is being remade in canonical timeline order, that would be a long way away, though.

I'd say it looks so supreme.

They've effectively made an entire Animal Crossing game as side content. How magnificently ridiculous.

There's a twenty-minute Xbox showcase at 6pm BST/10am PT/1pm ET today. The games shown will be third-party titles, with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Alan Wake 2, Ark: Survival Ascended and Dungeons of Hinterburg confirmed so far.

I beat something called Morgott in Elden Ring. I had to be at about double the recommended level, and with the best equipment available, but I did it after many tries. Apparently, it's one of the easiest bosses, so this will be a long, long slog if I'm ever going to finish the game.

Sounds as though you two need to learn to communicate more effectively.

Seems wise. It's mostly a showcase of the side content, rather than story details, but I can understand wanting to keep some room for surprises.

It's certainly deserved because they won the decisive matches, but it still feels like a bit of an anticlimax for such an open competition. I think we'll look back on this tournament as a really exciting one, but I can't help but feel that it would have a more special place in history if we saw a first-time winner.
