We sent Arttu to check out Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor, he came back with a preview and an interview where the game's director of design told us how the arch enemy will be procedurally generated.

In a move that'll be frustrating for Monolith, coverage of their new Tolkein-themed game is being overshadowed after a former Assassin's Creed II dev drew comparisons between Mordor and Assassin's Creed (there's gameplay this way so you can see for yourself).

Fresh from having chunks torn from them after challenging The Banner Saga and trademarking the word ‘Candy', King has been accused of cloning and double standards by an indie dev.

Microsoft sold 7 million consoles in the last quarter. EA also admitted to paying for YouTube coverage. Has Watch Dogs been cancelled on Wii U?

And finally, we got hands-on with Maia in our latest Indie Seen preview.
