We weren't ready to put a score on The Elder Scrolls Online, so we didn't. Instead, here's our impressions after a week of playing the game.

One thing we were able to be a bit more definitive about was Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends. Check out our review to find out if it's as "Xtreme" as the title suggests.

It's been a day full of Friday funnies. First we've got the Easter Egg (perhaps that should be Easter Shark) that's appeared in Battlefied 4. Then there's the news that BAFTA sent Codemasters Turn 10's nomination by accident.

These things come in three, and last up we have the news that a five year old exposed a vulnerability in Xbox One's online security.

We spoke to Transformers Universe producer Nick Cooper about what Jagex are doing with the evergreen franchise, how they're handling free-to-play, and what they're doing to keep the balance between seasoned gamers and fans of the franchise who might be new to gaming.

Not GTAV is a new game that's not Grand Theft Auto V. It's actually a parody, and for a very good cause.

Amy Hennig, formerly of Naughty Dog, has joined forces with Visceral Games and will work with studio on Star Wars. We didn't think it'd take her long to land on her feet.

Ouya's CEO has offered her thoughts on Amazon's Fire TV. Super Smash Bros. is getting its own Nintendo Direct next week. You can watch us racing on four tracks from Mario Kart 8.

And finally, today we're introducing you to Gamereactor's Gamepedia. If you've got hints, tips and whatnot to share about your favourite games, this is the place to do it. See you in there.
